GW2. WvW Build. DPS Dragonhunter WvW Zerg Build. DPS Dragonhunter. Guardian World vs World.
Last Update: September 2024
The DPS Dragonhunter is a guardian WvW build with heavy burst damage from weapons as well as access to leaps for engaging or disengaging from the enemy. This mobility allows you a much more reactive playstyle that is versatile in WvW fights where movement is necessary.
Dragonhunters also have great utility for their team compared to other DPS classes because of the F3 Shield of Courage which can give stability to allies and block attacks for them. This allows your group to survive deep engagements against burst damage. The F1 Spear of Justice can be used to pull enemies which sacrifices their positioning and makes them an easy kill when they are without support.
Swap between Spear and Greatsword to do big damage combos while using the leap from F2 or the Greatsword 3 to engage on enemies. The F2 is an immobilize which can be used to catch players out of position even when they have stability.
Burst Combos
Melee Engage
- F2 > Procession of Blades > Spear 5 > 4 > 3 > Swap
- Test of Faith > Greatsword 4 > 2 > 3
Ranged Bomb
- F1 > Spear 5 > 4 > Sword of Justice
Whenever doing a burst, cast Litany of Wrath or F3 to heal or block to ensure you can survive long enough to finish the burst.

The Best World vs World Builds
Hello, hear some questions.
1 this build still works well for wvw?
2 would this build be useful for pvp?
Hey, this build is very good for wvw large scale yes.
For small scale check this one: https://guildjen.com/power-trapper-dragonhunter-roaming-build/
And for PvP check this one: https://guildjen.com/trapper-dragonhunter-pvp-build/
Hey, isn’t there a build for willbender zerg, to play on a large scale?
Hello, can’t the hammer be changed for a long bow?
You can yes
The stat mix on the gear is not taking into account the 10% Crit Chance from Radiant Power, do you want to be independent of having your enemies be Burning?
Yes because in a zerg, enemies will permanent cleanse, but with with a bit less precision you will perform decent anyway.
can we use another weapon instead spear ?
Hammer
