  • -- You've heard of damage, you've heard of support, but a number of WvW groups have recently switched to using hybrid builds that offer a mix of both attack and defense, as a way to extract as much damage as possible out of a squad. In this video, we cover one of the foundations of this style of building a comp, the Hybrid Firebrand, a blend of traditional Minstrel support and DPS burn guard roles.

    Wow, you have a lot of melee interactions in your vid. Most wvw fights I've encountered, except havok ambushes, are 90% ranged except on a hard push.

      Hybrid Firebrand only really works with groups that melee push, so I intentionally chose a few guilds to play with that I know could utilize it. I think most of this footage came from either Strike Force, [SF], or Stop Farming Me [bags]. Both guilds that I highly recommend, if you're on NA and looking for people to play with who favor that kind of playstyle.

      I don't think I've ever seen them, but I'll keep an eye out! If you DM me their run times on Discord I could try and stop by when I'm back from this vacation. :)

    Why advance over hallowed ground?

      @sheffplaysgames  Місяць тому +1

      It's two sources of Aegis, which benefits your Shattered Aegis. But more importantly, the primary source of Swiftness in a WvW party is from Guardian Staff 3. Since this build doesn't run Staff, it needs to recapture Swiftness from somewhere. You *can* do that with Febe, but then you're putting your Immob clear on cooldown. Or you can just use Advance, which is my preference.

    the problem is you lose a lot of support for your party on that build :)

    • @sheffplaysgames
      @sheffplaysgames  18 днів тому +1

      You do, which is why it gets paired with Renegade (extra Stability and Resistance), and maintaining a dedicated support to make up the healing loss. You do have to comp for it, but if you do, it's quite good.
