GW2. WvW Build. DPS Herald Zerg Build. Revenant World vs World.
Last Update: July 2023
Overview
The DPS Herald provides many boons to allies including protection, stability, fury, and might. It does great burst with the hammer but does not have the sustained damage that other DPS do. However, in large scale fights the burst potential is great for coordinated bombs which is ideal for getting through enemy supports.
Always pulse boons for your allies with your Facets in Glint Stance, and give stability with the Inspiring Reinforcements in Jalis stance. Otherwise you will perform your burst combo with Hammer 2 + 3
Place the Facet of Elements active for pulsing damage on downed or stationary enemies. Swap to staff and use the 3 or 5 to survive when under pressure, or use it as a melee weapon and use Vengeful Hammers or the Facet of Strength active if engaging the enemy in melee combat.
Have the Facet of Light ready to cast if the enemy is engaging on your group to survive by inverting all damage to healing at the right moment. Also use the F2 while in Jalis and the Vengeful Hammers for extra damage reduction. Facet of Chaos can be activated to give Superspeed to allies in front of you.

Did you guys changed this build? If im not mistaken it used to be berserker
Yes I updated all the zerg builds, they are better now and optimal for squad play
Would it be too bad if I use two swords instead of a staff?
Staff is defensive and for CC, swords are for damage
for wvw my ascended armor is Berserker stats. Should I use Vitality infusions instead of Mighty to make up for not having Marauder armor?
Is this still viable after the hammer nerf?
yes
Is this herald still viable after the quickness nerf?
Yes
Hello, is hammer any good for PvE?, I wanna create a Herald and I don’t have any hammer build and I love that weapon.
it lacks sustained damage so usually as a secondary weapon its fine
