Equipment Variants

Relics

• Relic of Speed - offers even better mobility at the expense of damage.

• Relic of the Stormsinger - less burst than Brawler, but spreads out the damage better, making your less significant attacks more threatening. Only works on movement skills though, which doesn't include teleports.

Runes

• Rune of Superior Rune of Fireworks - better boon duration without sacrificng too much damage.

• Rune of Superior Rune of Durability - more tanky option.

• Rune of Superior Rune of Strength - good offensive stats and better Might stacking.

Stats

• On the current set you should have ~87% crit chance with Resolution (assuming full Ascended quality gear). You gain another 10% against Burning targets via traits, but that's not going to be active all the time. Our goal was to achieve consistency without overcapping crit chance in most situations while leaving some room for other buffs, but you might still overcap occasionally when we factor in things like Borderlands Bloodlust and other WvW buffs. Since you can't have permanent uptime on Burning or Fury and WvW buffs are largely out of your control we believe that a higher crit chance like this is better, but replacing a few Marauder pieces with Dragon stats for lower crit chance (until 80% or so) and slightly higher Ferocity is also a viable option.

Consumables

Food

• - strong mix of sustain and damage.

• - cheaper defensive option.

• - active damage mitigation via more access to dodging.
  • is a cheaper version of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew and sufficient enough in most cases.

• - non-ascended offensive option.

• - cheap crit chance boost (brings you up to 90%) with armor ignoring damage procs that also heal you.
