I've always loved your videos. I've taken about a 8 month break from gw2 and this video is getting me itching to get back in before the new expac. Thank you!
If you run the power untamed build and want protection, run the Siege Turtle pet instead of the blue moa. 2 ticks of the projectile bubble gives you more prot than the moa. Stone spirit already covers a large amount of prot, you realistically won't need much more, but blue moa has way lower uptime in any given fight. Since the siege turtle produces a projectile bubble, unless you need to get out of a ground aoe it's almost always better to stay in the bubble and get those extra protection ticks. This also gives you more CC, as F1 and F3 on the siege turtle deal breakbar damage. If you want the one time defensive burst and the healing F1, white moa is probably a better option, as you can provide your own protection elsewhere and also get the frost aura from the F2 while having the aoe heal on the F1 that blue moa already has. Relic of Zakiros covers a lot of healing on pUnt, since you'll pretty much always have fury and therefore always be under it's effects, and your crit damage should be quite high. You can also take Relic of Nourys, but I've found it to be somewhat inconsistent without the boonstrip on ambush trait and the cleanse on unleash trait is really good as well, so if you're willing to give up your unleash cleanses then it works but if not I'd recommend Zakiros of Thief.
I run the turtle as the second pet for that reason ;) Interestingly, I had quite a few scenarios where the turtle stood somewhere else because of its ranged attacks, which is why I used both pets and just swapped between them to ensure uptime. And zakiros works on it, but let's be honest: Power untamed has so much sustain that you're actually making it worse in 99% of cases when you don't run a damage relic.
@MaselMMO I'd not run 2 protection pets, if you're running stone spirit and 1 prot pet that's enough already. Zakiros is useful during those high incoming damage scenarios such as soloing legendaries/when you're in a meta with high damage attacks but no healers. It's the survivability alternative to thief. While you have a lot of sustain already, zakiros makes it genuinely difficult to die to non-one shot attacks.
Great video again. Just noticed a small mistake in one of the builds. The GW2Skills link for Condi Scourge uses Signet of Spite instead of Spectral Armor, which would leave the build without any stunbreaks. Also, the build link for Condition Tempest uses Scepter, instead of Pistol as shown in the video.
For power reaper i definitely recommend "Fear of Death" instead of "Soul Barbs". That way we get extra 2 sources of quickness (sword 5 and shroud 3) and more life force.
Thanks so much for all of these. I really appreciate your work and refer to your guides all the time for my OW casual experience in GW2. I have a question regarding your guides, however. When referring to the Open World sections of some of your class guides, the written guide doesn't always match up with the Open World build link, if one is provided. In this case, should I follow the OW build link provided or the OW Written Guide?
@vanitycrise358 you need to finish the new inner nayos meta twice, once with each spire. So one time you go into the north spire to complete the event chain there, the next time you go to the south spire.
Great guide. I need to try the Condition Mechanist build. Didn't know that there was a build that could generate both quickness and alacrity for himself. By the way, the GW2Skill link for this build is missing the utility skills.
😅 Дружище в ветке condition catalist лучше переключаться только между огнём и землёй😊, открывать урон с земли 5 умение рога.И да,настоящая мощь кроется в weaver 🎉
Tried the condi harb and was having great success in zakiros meta hitting 30k or so dps. It's a bit taxing on my fingers i've noticed. Do any of the one's showcased have comparable dps (where max boons are provided by zergs) but a simpler rotation?
I have trouble seeing where do you get perma quickness on soulbeast: quickening zephyr, heal, beast skill, moa stance and something? I see quickness being applied from one other source that I cant recognize and it isnt in the linked build. I would guess sigil. Oh the link is probably bad - there is sword instead of axe.
Hi! I used a celerity sigil on it, but after the June patch you won't need that anymore because the cooldown of zephyr will be reduced to 20 seconds. I'll fix the link
I am sure you already know all of this, but thought I'd still comment for other Reaper enjoyers: The reaper build loses a lot of Damage because you did not take Reaper's onslaught (which also forced you to take Chronomancer relic). Unfortunately the golem damage pulse is unrealistic for builds that have pets to tank for them. In the case of reaper, he has the 'Rise' shout which gives him minions that will tank almost all the damage for him, for its duration. These 'Rise' minions also give some nice damage reduction on top of that Also 'You are all weaklings' together with 'chilled to the bone' will help you start fights with 25might which will result in quite a nice dps increase your build here takes some time to get to 25 might and maintain it Only against certain bosses with big AoE and big damage, the Rise minions won't help too much, that is the weakness of it. so the fact that your build can still achieve 20k dps while being tanky without minions is impressive. The build I'm talking about with Reapers onslaught, full shouts utlities and no chronomancer relic can get an easy 25k (at the golem) And great Video, I'm sure it took a lot of time
Currently untamed. It shares quickness, is incredibly tanky and is one of the strongest solo dps builds in the game at the same time. You have to practice the rotation a little bit, but it's a very simple concept once you understand it
Yea I'd use longbow. Longbow 2+3 have decent power coefficients, but it's still meh On bladesworn, you can just stay on gunsaber for it and use dragon slash 3
This time the music is generated by SunoAI. I'm amazed what that stuff can do by now with the right inputs. But unfortunately, I already got two copyright claims by fraud companies for music in this video that hasn't even existed before this afternoon :D It's virtually impossible to upload a video to UA-cam without someone claiming your revenue
@@MaselMMO Interesting! Some of these tracks are fire. Care to share the one during power vindicator? "I like your taste in music" has become obsolete. "I like your taste in prompts" is now more appropriate.
Easy way to earn the relic of zakiros ? New to the game it throws me learning where to find stuff. Done all of soto and done inner meta a few times anyone link me the achievement please
They all have traits and skill for that. Just take them out into open world and you'll see that they work very well. Is there a particular build that you have questions on?
Alright, maybe I suck at this. I often use Might makes me right with Forceful gs from Strength and Dead or Alive from Berserker*. Sundering leap and Wild blow from skills. Greatsword for mobility skills, Hundred blades and Arc divider. This way I feel tanky for fighting bigger mobs from Auric Basin. *Is that 1-2-2 Strength and 1-3-1 from Berserker? I don't really understand how people write about traits.
@@TheDeadStep That is likely as the Weapon Mastery from SOTO allows you to utilize any weapon you have unlocked with any other elite spec on that class, which would allow Deadeye to use staff. If you don't have SOTO, or weapon mastery unlocked, and don't mind spamming unload, you could likely just stick to p/p on that build, but if doing so, I would likely swap out practiced tolerance for deadly aim in critical strikes (So 3-3-3 for critical strikes). Although a tad more selfish, 2-3-2 in Deadeye can also work well in this configuration, and optionally, the deadly arts tree can be swapped out for trickery 3-1-2 in this configuration.
General remark comment:
Hi.
1) The addon for the buff icons is called gw2clarity.
Hi Masel, thanks for everything you do for the gw2 community!
I was going to ask this too, I knew comments would have the answer 😊
Ty Masel for another helpful video & the time put into making & uploading it.💯
This sort of thing is SO useful for those of we players who suffer from the permanent de-buff of old, dim-sighted and slow :)
absolute giga video and exactly what I needed as an open world solo champions enjoyer
Thanks for this helpful video Masel.
The time put in to recording, editing & uploading tour guides are muchly appreciated! 😊
I've always loved your videos. I've taken about a 8 month break from gw2 and this video is getting me itching to get back in before the new expac. Thank you!
Great video and content for players like me who are rather casual and jump in and out of GW2. Thanks.

I have buy PoF and EoT today, what build you recommend for starter?
Good stuff as always, will use a few of these for sure. ^^
how do you keep 25 might and quickness on the power vindicator? ive been practicing and i cant build anything for that long

The new lifesteal Zakiros relic works amazing in open world, I would run it on almost every power build.
Yes it does! You can use it well on all power builds, but some are so tanky without it that they don't even need it.
Hi, just wondering if u have the leg relic do u need to finish the new soto story to unlock zakiros??
@vanitycrise358 you need to finish the new inner nayos meta twice, once with each spire. So one time you go into the north spire to complete the event chain there, the next time you go to the south spire.

Nice video. Ill try out some of the builds. Also is that a Blish Hud plugin that shows the buffs in the middle of the screen?
I don't see the BlishHud plugin icon at the top, so perhaps a different add-on?
@@ParagonOblivion Found it. Its called gw2clarity
what are the buffs that you are using? aside from food and utility? looks like there are a lot of buffs that i dont know
They are probably class-specific boons? Unless you mean boons, then they're just common buffs you want to cover as mich as possible.
love to see your vids one of your vids helped me jump into the world of tyria thank you and i wish you luck in your career
Thanks man. Great work.
thank you, that catalyst rotation helped me a lot
Glad it helped!
