Ratings
This is one of those builds that seems bonkers on paper, but ends up being underwhelming in practice. You get rolling 25 Might, Stability, Fury (100% crit rate!) and Swiftness with access to Quickness and Super Speed in >10 second batches per ~20 second interval. Cool, right? Well, the problem is you're using Flamethrower. Flamethrower is just not that good, even with all these boons carrying *and* the removal of Retaliation. Regardless, it's genuinely a lot of fun to mess with and you might catch someone off-guard with all those boons on you. I personally get more value out of Supply Drop as an elite, but Sneak Gyro is fine as-is. The gear chosen leaves minor room for min/maxing with things like mixed Marauder/Dragon's, optional Rune of Durability (Pack is fine), Potent Lucent Oil instead of Fruitcake, et al. Really wish I could give this build exactly 3.5 stars. It's barely good enough, but a meme more than anything else.
Another one of those builds that don't look like much but can be surprisingly effective. Very chill build, doesn't get more beginner friendly than this and will work just fine in most cases. If you intend to play WvW a bit more competitively though then maybe you should pick something else. For just some casual roaming this is perfect however, especially if you want to focus on taking camps. It's a 3/5 against players but a 5/5 when it comes to flipping camps.
