Great video, keeping the length short really helps keep to videos focused and dense with information. No wasted time with these. Keep up the good work!
Yes! This is the build I'm playing atm, and it's so much fun and also pretty good! I feel like the absense of Mesmer in ranked queue actually helps this build perform atleast in g3/p1 because many players don't know what Mesmers can even do. Especially when whipping out the Focus, it's rarely ever seen. I even had to refresh my memory on how to properly use it.
Great stuff as per usual! In future guides, I'd love to hear a little more about each build's weaknesses: not only what to avoid doing (kinda like how you mentioned not doubling up on defensive cooldowns if you don't need to), but also how other builds might pose a problem or what situations to avoid. What situation, for instance, would make this Virtuoso build fall to pieces? Your videos are brilliant and I can't wait to see more of 'em!
Thank you for the kind words Raphael! And I agree! These guides should be helpful to anyone interested in learning how to play the builds. TY for the support! :)
man your videos are a gold mine, i was looking for a pvp guide to get better and your videos are both smooth and teaches me stuff hope you get more followers
Thank you for the kind words Mr. Serperior! I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Harbinger guide is coming out next but I will definitely be doing a guide for daredevil and specter as well. :)
Thanks Gladiator! I've messed around with guardian runes (burn on block) in sPvP, the effect procs often but isn't strong enough to warrant taking. No option for defender runes in the mists but for WvW it seems like it would be a great source of sustain! Toughness and healing power are both stats that Virtuoso can make use of. :)
@@defleshed2 You can take traveler runes if you want movement speed for wvw! Fireworks gives power stat which isn't very useful on a condi build. Can also take Ether Feast if you want more healing
Hey MacTavish! Both are fine. The scepter trait has better survivability and the attack speed affects the cast time on ALL skills you cast while in the scepter weaponset. That means you shatter, heal, stun, etc. 20% faster. Shattering quicker is safer as well as it results in more aegis reapplication. If you run master of fragmentation, I would recommend using berserker amulet and evasion runes. The damage output is higher but you lose some survivability in the process.
