  • - use this if you go Sword/Torch so you can camp Sword for longer than two rotations of its abilities. Otherwise Sword CD and weapon swap will nearly overlap anyways.

Usage

General

Damage

Strong Burst:

For an opener:

  1. and/or to stealth up from
  2. Run up undetected to enemy team.
  3. from stealth while standing under enemies to guarantee pulling and CCing groups.
  4. Kite to your previously laid traps, as majority heal comes from triggering trap and fragments from can be picked up for 5 Template:Gw2wiki which can cleanse 5 conditions if timed right.

Sustain

Weaknesses

  • Template:Gw2wiki lets enemies walk through your traps and CC unaffected and the build doesn't have any boon strip. You can try using Template:Gw2sigil on scepter to boon strip stability and reapply Template:Gw2skill. However, regular StunBreaks will not break out of unless it is an evading ability.
  • Condition cleanses and transfers - the build lacks cover conditions for Template:Gw2wiki and can hit hard if the conditions are transferred back onto you. Use line of sight after burst to avoid condition transfers.
  • Minionmancer, pets, and clones can trigger your traps and waste them entirely, as well as prevent Template:Gw2wiki. Instead, drop the traps when you need them rather than predictively. Create distance before Template:Gw2wiki so traps don't damage and Template:Gw2wiki. On the other hand, more enemies mean more procs so use it to your advantage.
  • Heavy CC
  • Torch can counteract these weaknesses:

Awefully weak with next to no sustain damage after the combo, it is very frail and easily burst down, and its burst in the teamfight can easily be dodged with some attention. Does not work against any player that has experience dealing with dragon's maw. Will probably carry you to gold if you are in silver tho.

This build works great in lower ranks and can carry team fights, providing objective control and ending fights early. Can be outplayed at higher ranks and lacks much versatility. Incorporating torch made up for many of it's weaknesses, making it a more solid build.

Sigh, here we go again. Gotta address the no brain, typo riddled, broken syntax comments on these build ratings. Though seemingly not AT ready, this build can easily carry to plat. I fail to see any "near top tier build of consecrations trap dh" that you mentioned posted on the site, do you? You seem confused and stuck in the pre March 23, 2021 patch. Forget the old build. All traps, weapons, and trait alternatives have been listed. If you are seriously considering anything beyond those mentioned, then I can't take you seriously. Reading and testing the build isn't hard, you made it hard... Provide valid criticism and elaborate on your comments or delete it, thanks.

this is taking a near top teir build of consecrations trap dh and bringing to the bottom. 1.)your trap choice is horrible 2.) your weapon choice is terrible 3.) your trait choice is terrible. the only things you even need to make this a top teir build in this meta is to take the old build and add the traited purging flames. if you want to keep carrion and soj, then all you needed was that, TOF and traited SOJ. you can always get away with a gigachad hybrid versus by taking the symbol trait and wizard/swashbukler amulet and then just skip SOJ and take ex.) Sanctuary for more consecrations and much more glacial heart triggers. its not hard, but you made it hard...
