Not Telling
im coarr from the german server kodash and i want to share my hammer/support/wvw roaming build with you. first of all excuse my english, it is not my first language. second i am a guide virin so i expect to make a lot of mistakes, be indulgent with me
lets start with the purpose of the build:
- i do roam solo or in a duo with a high dps thief with a uniqe build im not allowed to share. sry
- my first focus lies in mobility. in my oppinion it is the key to succed in wvw. the build keeps swiftness up 100% of the time. it is important to run from A to B, to keep up with your comrades, to chase your prey und most important, to run away from the zerg. the only class that can catch up with me is a thief
- second point is survivability. if you die you are no help in any way. condition removal, the block ability and of course a high toughness helps a lot.
- third is support. warrior has some great ways to support his team, for me the CC the hammer offers combined with some shout healing/condition removal works best
- fourth, short skill down times. your fights will last long in wvw, enemys add, some run bunker builds ect. all my skills have 30 sec or less downtime.
