Thanks for this amazing tutorial! I was playing around with zerg-compatible willbender builds recently, and I like your solution a lot. Especially, since your traits and gear choices make this build pug-compatible, you can shine even without high-class supporters. A few changes I would propose, in case your support actually works well: Min-maxing for highest damage works with all-berserker stats, except for the boots, which I set to assassin's stats. Also, you could compensate for missing fury (if necessary) with "feel my wrath" and "save yourselves". You could cast this directly before your burst. If you are always getting kills early in fights, you could take the Dragons Breath food with fruit tin cake. Most of these changes make you much more squishy though, so I don't recommend them for pug fights without decent support.
@@metallonegw2283 I think it only works, when the zerg is going melee early, which happens a lot on our server. And I only had success with good supporters from my guild. But you are right, it's way too squishy for generally ranged fights.
I would say thief is bad. Isgarren is used a lot, but mostly for roaming i think. In a big fight i think you would benefit more from warrior, but it's just my opinion ;)
If you mean running full dragon, it would be insufficient to reach the crit cap. If you mean running a mix of dragon/marauder, it works, just aim reaching 55% crit chance without fury and resolution (considering also right hand strength trait).
@@metallonegw2283 thanks for the answer :) yeah i meant minmaxing for optimal stats damage-wise, but i guess it really depends on the resolution uptime, since with this build the virtues dont give resolution, so high resolution uptime depends on the FB.
I have a herald video ruclips.net/video/5qoX5NNrVVk/видео.htmlsi=bvMHnfChzFPW-Hlj It's not super recent, but nothing changed, except play greatsword instead of mace+sword. Relic is speed.
Back 5 months later, still love this build

I think it would be way too squishy, guardian has one of the lowest base hp pool , you can't really run in blobs with a melee class at 13k hp

Really strong class, but unlike the berserker you need hands with all fingers attached to use it best. Nice video and great explanation as always❤
It's not the easiest class indeed, but i'm sure there are a lot of good willbenders out there :D
Nice coverage of the class, build and usage in battle. Thanks!
Excellent video !!! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge ;)
Thank You.
Thanks!!
Great video as always!!
Great video! I was wondering if relic of warrior and speed are better than higher dps from isgarren/thief relic?
I would say thief is bad.
Isgarren is used a lot, but mostly for roaming i think. In a big fight i think you would benefit more from warrior, but it's just my opinion ;)
@@metallonegw2283 thanks for the reply! I'll try the build tonight
How is this build with Spear? I love this build's recharge with heal of spear, very fun.
@@RicoZaid_ i need to test yet
@@metallonegw2283 thanks! Yours is the only build I like :-)
Would love to see longbow willbender in wvw zerg.
I might try a willbender longbow+hammer maximum burst
@metallonegw2283 Yes, please. Contemplating that to use in a zerg.
What food are you running? :)
Dragon bun or the ascended power food if the commander drops it for everyone :)
11:34 how it works :D
Why not dragon stats?
If you mean running full dragon, it would be insufficient to reach the crit cap.
If you mean running a mix of dragon/marauder, it works, just aim reaching 55% crit chance without fury and resolution (considering also right hand strength trait).
coz this is a zerg dps build and not the dragon stats roamer build
@@MIKEZAY dragon is higher damage than marauder so your comment makes no sense
@@tornadofist08 hmm okay

Can you do a same video but instead herald?
Ps: like ✅
I have a herald video

Daredevils and this spec design is a prime example of what is wrong with WvW and the balance in this game. Just stupid.
For roaming? I agree
For zergs? Nah
Yes for roaming sorry, sadly depending on your server and timezone zerg is not an option. @@metallonegw2283
