Radiance DPS Dragonhunter| Guildwars 2 Build Guide | GW2 2024 

Nice, yeah I know some people want some different genres I didn't want to just slap piano on everything but it seems like as long as it's mellow it works out. Glad you enjoyed the guide I'll keep putting them out

Thanks man! I hope they find it useful. I am looking forward to putting out some updates once weapons drop, but also we will have a heal warrior, one of the builds I'm most excited about experimenting with.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you like the new music or the piano music better?

You're welcome!

Thanks for the input! Depending on other responses I'll probably stick with piano.

@@Vedastos glad to hear it! I am trying to provide quality videos to the community.

Sure, invite me whenever your forming stuff up

No need to stat swap. Hopefully I don't disappoint! I'll get around to some other builds eventually. I don't want to only do builds builds builds so I try to mix them in with other video types.

Virtuoso won't do you wrong, and probably power soulbeast, though I do play power guard a lot and it's just fine. But soulbeast got that burst.

You only use it for emergency CC. It's just a power increase otherwise.

@@SilhouetteGaming1 Thanks!

I think LB and GS are just best in slot, I think maybe sword focus could contend but you're losing a ranged option. If LB isn't an option I'd consider just camping GS.

It's about "wasting stats" as long as you reach crit cap it doesn't matter.

@@SilhouetteGaming1 ty for reply , so i assume virtues dragonhunter u just use berserk + assassin so u can reach 100% crtit chance and get some aegis skills and trait

@@awesomika9024 virtues uses a lot of assassins stats to hit crit you are correct.

Should be 41% with gear mentioned. Fury and resolution put you at 91% and then vs burning foes you get 10%, meaning you are still at 1% over cap if you the dragons setup I mention with 1 berserker ring and 1 berserker accessory.

Probably not too bad, going to be lacking on opening burst but it should be fine to camp GS. It will be lower benching but if you can consistently upkeep the damage modifiers you should be able to deal consistent damage.

If you're camping gs only, I wonder if willbender would be a better option for you

@@earthwurmjimthefirst I accidentally jump off ledges if there aren't any gates when I try providing Alacrity... I'm actually thinking of swapping to a Reaper. Lol

Yes it grants resolution when getting hit.

For golem you can just add it to yourself and in real fights just make sure your rotation includes GS symbol before blowing critical skills.

@@SilhouetteGaming1 how do i keep the resolution up 100% of the time like in your vid? i'm trying to practice it in golem but it's not working...

@@SilhouetteGaming1 also, how much crit rate should I see here in the stats before I apply boons? mine says 40% and when I apply the boons, it's just 65% crit rate. help plss

Hey man youre asking the right questions! My HFB video was the first video i ever published and i see how it can be confusing, it has been one ive considered revisiting for a while now. To answer your specific questions here, your tome skills are situational, in some encounters like VG you are going to want more healing, while in other encounters you are going to want damage mitigation. The run that i did on HFB for that video i specifically used Harriers gear, and used minimal healing skills to prove that it is unnecessary to use them if you can mitigate the damage with Ageis. Staff 4 provides a decent amount of healing, and blasting your 3 with your staff 2 does a decent amount of healing with condi cleanse for your team. Typically i run with Sanctuary, Advance, and Stand your Ground, becuase healing is largely not needed and is provided in other ways-- when you are if you wanted to use bow of truth you could use the F2 Tome instead, however the F3 tome is better used because it has ageis, stability, and resolution available in its skill 4 and 5. along with skill 3 in Tome 3 as a bubble which can help with bosses that spit out projectiles. Truth is, HFB is so good because it allows you to ignore the damage by pumping out blocks instead of having to heal through them; and instead your priority is largely upkeeping might and quickness. You dont really "Need" Feel my Wrath even, and use the Stability Mantra since a trait will allow you to also apply quickness when you apply stability. FMW is just easier since its got a large radius and quickness uptime is important so thats more of an "Advanced" Technique. on HFB the damage tome is largely ignored, if you wanted to help the group out you could use skill 5-- i think it applies might to allies that you give ashes of the just to, but id have to look into it more. As a HFB you are going to be acting more proactively instead of reactively- setting up the blocks before the big hits, dropping the bubble before the projectiles spawn and so on. I have a poll up right now and if Heal Support gets selected i'll definitely be reconsidering my HFB guide and give it more of a focus on general gameplay instead of a fractals specific look. Drop any more comments if you want more specifics.

@@SilhouetteGaming1 thanks for your long answer. I do know and realize that healers here dont really have a said rotation and i do also understand that most of hfb skills are utility situational skills which are best used in certain moments but If You are relatively new and You dont know by heart alot of fights or alot of what is going to happen and You also just played dps or boondps before, i find myself in situations where i dont know what to press, what to prio, i stand there pressing mantras and waiting for Something to happen. I want to know how You usually start fights and what You usually use off cd and what You exclusively keep only for situational conditions. For example lets think about boneskinner. I know that If ppl or newbies in general dont move when he raises his hands, they usually die. I have to make a decision, do i protect them by using dmg reduction spells from Tome 3 or heal them with staff or Tome 2 healing? The boss at some point leaps and knocks down dmging ppl, thats for sure stability moment and between all these Windows of either high dmg mechanics or CC from the boss towards the team what do You do. Do You maintain quickness with mantras and keep using axe 2 and 4 and staff 2 3 4? I hope You do understand what im trying to say by all this. I know healers in this game especially hfb are hard to master because the better You know the encounter the more prepared You are to actually dictate what You should use to counter what the boss will do but untill someone can gather all this knowledge, they need a base, Something to start from. Even If i do know and remember what alm hfb skills do, that does not mean ill use them right at the right time always. So summing IT up, i wanna know how will You start the boneskinner fight, what skills You use off cd and what You exclusively keep as situational skills.

@@BoCHUNGUS the HFB video was my 2nd video ever that i uploaded, i couldve done a better job and i decided to revisit it for this weeks upload. This video is much better and should be more helpful if you havent already seen it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ui6Mfp6kk1M.html&ab_channel=SilhouetteGaming

@@SilhouetteGaming1 ive seen IT already. IT is indeed much better and in depth, a Little bit too in depth when it comes to encounters since ive never done any cm's before. Ive done all strikes on normal and w1-4 but i guess IT will help when ill eventually get there. Since we last spoke, ive took qhfb for a ride and in the end it wasnt that hard as i feared to be. I got the hang of it pretty quickly.

I am in multiple guilds, and I do have a personal guild however I haven't established one yet. My playtime is generally from about 5am to about 6am PST on weekdays and from about 5-6am to 8-9am PST on weekends. Mostly I run with PUGs from the LFG, however sometimes my playtime overlaps with friends that I've met over years of playing, for the most part I play solo.

Berserker for both.

Condi firebrand is solid, I will be revisiting it after the January 30th patch.

@330DKNY I mean it's pretty easy still, and super effective.

Yes, nothing changed for it. I personally played it through T4s like 2 days ago and it still feels great.

Username checks out. I appreciate it Mr.Solid.
