Since I have been playing a Signet Power Reaper Open World Build with Greatsword and Axe+Warhorn on my main for ages, I really enjoyed to add a Celestial Harbinger Open World Build with Staff and Pistol+Focus to my arsenal. I love how different those specs play.

Also my Reveneant which I used to play as a Celsetial Renegade with Shortbow now has a Power Vindicator Build with Greatsword as an alternative which also plays very differently. I guess, I like variety (as in I decide to try something new and not ArenaNet changes stuff that wasn't broken).

As for the Upcoming Balance Changes ... I really hope that they reconsider some of the changes, e. g. Scourge.

Haven't changed my builds in forever. Since I have a tonne of alts but generally only play my main, my main has gotten every single possible build

• Power Mirage open world swiss army knife build, a tool for every situation and mobility for days. My favourite.

• Power Chrono 20k solo DPS glass build, for when shit has to die and isn't too much of a danger to me.

• Condi Virtuoso 15k solo DPS glass build, for when I want to scale with support or I need sustained self-heal.

• Diviner's Chrono Quickness bot, build to drown as many people in as much Quickness as physically possible.

• Condi Mirage Alac bot and preferred killbuild for if shit has to die and will fucking wreck me otherwise.

• Memestrel Chrono because I can't be arsed to wait for an actual healer, Mesmer can heal just fine.

• Diviner Chrono superspeed bot because that NPC takes fucking forever and ain't nobody got time fo dat.

• Trailblazer Condi Mirage built for max mobility because fuck you I can't be arsed to deal with bullshit builds in WvW while doing easy dailies.

At the moment I enjoy playing Daredevil pistol/pistol in PvE. It is rather satisfying spamming Unload :D I have almost the same build in PvP, except of using Unload, I use Sneak Attack to bleed my opponents to death, then Black Powder and dodge to stealth. Repeat XD

In open world I've been having fun playing dagger-dagger condition daredevil. The amount of sustain I get combined with all the evades makes me basically unkillable in most environments. :D
