Utility
For a less shout focused build you could pick up some of the following skills. If you're giving up at least 2 of your utility shouts be sure to also change your relic to something else, like :
- - ranged teleport and stun break, useful for disengaging or chasing down targets.
- - this is both a defensive and offensive option. The damage is solid, but the true value lies in the AoE
Weakness application and the anti-projetile zone. This can be used to defend against both ranged and melee builds at the same time by standing inside the ring.
- - stunbreak and mobility tool that's great for escaping enemies, often by baiting them to chase after you (or even jump off the highground) but the long CD kind of makes it necessary to take a 2nd stunbreak with this.
- - great CC that makes it hard for enemies to reach you or escape your damage.

- Budget: either from Canned Food Crates found in WvW s or purchased from the Permanent Portable Provisioner.
Usage
General
- Build Life Force by killing critters or any PvE mob before fighting players.
- Both weapon sets offer a decent mix of defense and offense, but they're mostly just stalling until you can go back into for burst damage.
- has a very distinct animation which makes it easy to avoid, if you feel like that's going to happen then stow your weapon to cancel the channeling. This is also great for fake casting - you can use the skill, cancel it immediately with weapon stow (the whole animation will still play, potentially baiting out dodges or other defensive CDs), and send it only on a CD of 5 seconds.
- On Staff try to use after whenever possible in order to combo AoE Weakness. These are also your two most dangerous skills on this set.
- Staff is more of a utility weapon, low damage but it has a condition transfer, a CC, snare, and adds much needed range to the build. The
Chill and 
Fear are useful both for keeping distance when you're waiting for CDs and preventing enemies from escaping when they're trying to flee.
- If you're using only for the mobility you should consider dropping out of shroud near the end of the animation. The very end of Death's Charge brings your character to a halt, we can cancel this by cancelling shroud.
- Entering shroud acts as an instant defensive measure:
- Transfers conditions to enemies on your next attack via .
- Procs Lesser Enfeeble for Weakness from which strikes foes after a small delay. If Lesser Enfeeble connects it'll immediately transfer conditions with Plague Sending. This is a really powerful interaction that could save your life even if you're stunned, as shroud can be activated while sitting in a CC.
- removes one condition when you enter shroud and keeps cleansing you every few seconds while in shroud.
- Utility-dependent There's more to (SW) than just being a stun breaker with a bit of LF management, this skill allows for quite a bit of creativity. For example:
- Activate SW ⇒ jump off a cliff while being chased ⇒ when your enemies jump after you.
- Activate SW ⇒ break line of sight ⇒ cast ⇒ teleport back at the very end of the channeling (this makes it harder to avoid and reduces the chance of getting interrupted, although the outcome is going to be a bit luck based).
- Activate SW ⇒ (if using Flesh Wurm) ⇒ teleport back when they catch up to you.
Shroud
- Most of your burst comes from , where your damage is further increased by (if taken).
- Opening with is very common, as it helps getting your damage off uninterrupted while the damage reduction helps you stay in shroud longer.
- is the chain skill of this slot. This should only be used when either A) you need an emergency CC, or B) Infusing Terror is about to expire.
- should be used in the field created by for the
Frost Aura whenever possible.
- should primarily be used on CC'd or downed targets (as
Poison reduces the resurrection healing coming from their allies), but thanks to the permanent 
Quickness while in shroud this skill is now much easier to land without any real setup.
- 's a single target skill for the most part, as it only stuns one target. can Fear targets long enough to prevent enemies from dodging this skill.
- Use autoattacks when eveything else is on CD.
Ratings
maybe it’s luck. but i won every 1v1 / 1vX
in the last few days. the damage overtime is amazing and feels very tanky as well.
try this build! for me it’s super fun.
I think Harbinger is better but this isn't far behind. Everything about this synergizes well with Celestial, it's fairly tanky with high damage. Mobility's fine but not great, which is expected of Reaper.
