Hello all! This is my dps herald build! This build in groups hits around 800 dps harder thanks to shiro. The end number was 39.5k!
Not only does this build hit huge damage but it has tons of support capability!
You can bring double swords for movement and dps or more importantly bring a staff for cc!
You can even bring a combo of sword and off hand axe for cc!
Here is an open world variant instead of the swords USE GREATSWORD: gw2skills.net/editor/?PmgAwylp...

Welcome back friends! I hope your expansion experience is going well! What is your favorite part so far? Let me know! Please subscribe to see more! I included an open world build in the description for more survivability and self boons! Just replace the swords with greatsword! They haven't updated the build website yet.
Also, I've been noticing a bit of comparison to vindicator. So, lets get down to it. Which one is "better" ?
Well vindicator still has easier time giving the team stability...but the benefits really end there. This is the better build. More damage, more team support, but vindicator is still a good build, nothing wrong with it!
How use greatsword on Herald? Greatsword only usable on Vindicator. Need new addon for that?
the new weapon master that came out with SOTO allows all weapons can be used as long as its in that specialization ex. all weapons that core revenant, herald, renegade, and vindicator. can be used
@@johnnytarr5457
@@johnnytarr5457 the new expac gives you the ability to use spec weapons even if you are not using that spec
@@akoneon_ Thank you!)
Once tried ur builds and never gone back to hard rotation stuff. Much love for you Mystic!
Did try this on the launch of the new SotO map with GS / Staff, the Quickness it gives to GS with easy rotation is cool, insane cc and tons of boons you can share with the group. Easy alternative rotation.
Was waiting for this to be a thing since I first made a herald - excited to finally try it out!
Thank you so much for this build, will give it a shot later today
Above all others, this is the one I was waiting for :D... thanks my dude
Would love to see a power renegade video up next, just because of the ability to swap between quickness/alacrity on one character, one set of equipment seems sooooo soooo enticing.
I was about to comment the same!
Also highly interested in this!
Love your videos and music choice dude!
Will the DH runes replace scholar for power builds?
For WvW group (15-25 people), just change berserker to marauder? Is there a crit percent that needs to be hit?
The editing on these videos is chef's kiss, good job.
I wasn't entire sure about this set up even after trying it, good to see it's doing good tho, I just hope Vind gets some buffs so it doesn't remain pointless.
I was questing as gs herald as like a "eh why not try it" and now I feel my vibes are valid
aaaaaah, shit... I was just getting started based on another of your videos and now i'm conflicted between Willbender and GS Herald :'D
Another amazing video, just a question if i may cause i'm a returning player and idk a LOT of things still... which one would you lean in on a bit more than the other personally? Willbendeer or Herald? Thank you
Wow, I think I might adapt that Boonslayer build
Can you use this build for quickness herald to?
what outfit/skins are you using in this video :O looks so good
how does it do so good damage?? great stuff, will try it out
Is the difference between dragon hunter runes and scholar runes noticable?
So.. Should I buy EoD after SoTO comes out?
Can you do mesmer next?
It would be good with any of these builds that provide boons to see what the coverage/uptime actually is. Knowing if this can fill in a specific boon role in a group is important.
Other than that, keep them up - super useful guides!
nice video. what's your opinion on short bow Herald with or without quickness?
Very good.
Looking forward to trying this one. Just one question. Is the rotation with GS easier than S/S to provide quickness with Elevated Compassion?
Greatsword is better in everyway in my opinion. I don't recommend anyone use swords anymore.
@@MrMystic1Awesome. I'll give that a try. Thanks
As a GS Vindi main, this looks super useful for groups when we need the boons, without learning a huge new rotation - thanks as always!
Thanks for the support!
iv just made a vindi! and enjoying the dodge it self but still need to get a build in order, any advice? mainly for pve content and just having fun
@@GRiiiMx what kind of pve?
@@GRiiiMx Masel uploaded a quick guide for Vindi about a month ago, check that out for a good place to start.
Will you check cata sword/warhorn or other versions of ele with sword and warhorn?
Hopefully soon!
nice, can you do mesmer next time preferably with axe condi virtuoso or dagger chrono^^
good video bro❤🎉
But how can i wield the greatsword without using the greatsword specialisation?
Can you please make a shorbow herald build, I have tried it and it looks so nice, want to see what you can come up with ^^
SAMEEEEE been playing SoTo with Power herald shortbow and damn it's incredibily nice
Noob question. Do I need to finish the SotO story quest to be able to use the weapons ? or is there a certain mastery that needs to be unlocked ?
I can't recall which act but it's earlier into the story yes.
You have to start it and play some of very first missions and weapon master will unlock you all Elite spec weapons. I think it gets unlocked in 1st or 2nd chapter (out of 10 chapters in total).
The reason of dragonhunter runes instead of scholars is because the dps variant doesn't need the extra concentration you get from power like in the quickness variant? I'm guessing it's still scholars for the quickness version.
You have enough concentration in every way. You want dragonhunter instead of scholar, because it gives a bit more ferocity and a bit less power, which results in a small dmg buff. No scholar in any way for rev
What effect is that on your sword that like has a shadow after image sorry im new to the game. Great build
It's the legendary weapon Twilight :)
if you wanna swap for more utility which legend should you remove?
Shiro ....If I swap legends then I chang Shiro for Dwarf.
Legend !
What consumables do you use for this build?
do you need to buy the expansion for this?
pretty sure "Weaponmaster Training" is only available to SOTO buyers, yeah
came here for the song !
nice music :)
Whats GSword this is? It doesnt look like Twilight
Thumbs up just for the intro
Can this give quickness?
With a trait change yes.
So this is just a pure dps build?
You don't extend the boon duration of your allies unless you activate your True Nature. Facet of Nature just extends the boons if you are the source. Since you have no concentration in this build you are actually not providing any boons to your party.
If you use Elevated Compassion in Herald's trait tree, use your second consume skills just before switching legends and active the True Nature before switching to Shiro (while in Glint), that way you can easily provide permanent 25 stacks of might, quickness, fury and some switfness. Of course in return of %20-25 DPS loss.
But it has no meaning in raids once you have supports. It is usable for solo pve.
What chest piece?
oh nvm I think i see now, bladed huh
When I use training area I always turn off boons so I can see which boons the build is actually producing, unless I'm doing it wrong I can maintain only 2 to 3 boons at best, not insane. Yes to DPS. On the other hand, using GS on qdps build is awesome, insane boons too.
Yep! If you ever find yourself not in a group you have to switch to qdps! That's the beauty of herald it can do anything it wants! In open world I just default to quick dps.
@@MrMystic1 Do you have a qdps build lying around?
@@MrPanqzyes, please, qdps guide!
@@MrPanqz its only switching the trait "forceful persistence" to "elevated compassion" in right column of herald
does this still work after the massive greatsword nerf?
It's not in the best shape right now but will be getting buffed again this coming patch. :)
@@MrMystic1 Hey, how is this build right now? been wanting to play greatsword rev, but don't have access to EoD for Vindicator while having SoTo XD, is it any better? thanks
Its not the best dps anymore but it's fine for most content.
love that song in the backgrnd who is it?
song is in the description
Weird I don't see it.
epic
is there any way to improve survivability for solo and/or players who play with high ping?
thank you very much in advance
There is an open world variant in the description. Just replace the swords in the build with greatsword.
@@MrMystic1 thank you very much!
@@MrMystic1 I see the OW build uses Runes of the Brawler. Would you still recommend Relic of the Thief for that build?
@@thephobos1810 Yes. The open world build is for survival but it's still the best relic.
@@MrMystic1 Thanks!
Quickness build should also remain the same, only s/s will be converted to gs
Can you show some exercises you look beasty asf.
Yup
Which means it's busted af and it'll get nerfed
I mean, 39.5k in an easy rotation is good. But how much would it do in a full rotation? It looks to have very bad long-term dmg, great burst but it falls too much.
Enjoying it before it gets nerfed
They can only do that by giving the GS other stats than vindicator
Same with sword for non holos
Or they will hurt vindicator for the sake of other classes ^^
They can do it by moving power from the weapon to the elite spec. Which I expect to happen with a bunch of weapons and elite specs.
@@powehi173 that is one way to do it, but except they do it in a minor trait it will decrease variety if its only on one major trait and only improve one build which i would not prefer
Its honestly a better way to modify the weapon for specific elite specs before morphing it for the entire class...
I think it's fine actually. ANet already anticipated the power creep with the addition of relics. You can see how much HP the new strike bosses have, and we might even see some classes creeping up close to 50k later on.
Why are we doing benchmarks on medium sized hitboxes now? It should either be huge (to showcase the damage from Requiem being maxed out) or small to showcase more realistic levels of damage
first
Maybe I'm just weird but I still find Vindi a better build...
You forget that MrMystic makes alternate off-meta builds or simplified guides. It’s not saying it’s better than anything.
Sorry for the incredulity here, but how on earth is Vindicator better???
Don't be fooled though folks. this video shows them getting buffed by the testing arena buffs. So doesn't show one's own buffs. which is why I would say depending on your group's makeup, swap final herald talent to get quickness for your party. But if you were doing this solo, you'd only be getting about half the numbers. GS 5 is still pretty hard hitting, with full buffs yes I get nearly 40k damage. but otherwise without the arena buffs, it's more like 20-25k
not a bad build, just not as good as what is portrayed unless in a group that's just giving you all those buffs, but as a herald you should be offering party buffs too.
Easy mode... More like boring mode.
You don't have to play it
Play something else
Ngl the rotation is difficult😢. Dont get wat u mean by keeping the f2 active. If i click on it, its goes down to a cd.
