What underrated open world builds should I try out?

-

I’m curious about what open world builds people believe are being overlooked. I noticed that Metabattle has a tier list, but it seems outdated. For instance, they rated Hammer Catalyst as B tier, but after testing it, I feel it’s much more effective than that rating suggests. Maybe it’s just my personal preference. I’d love to hear what builds have worked well for you, especially for soloing champions and participating in meta events!

One build that really shines is the Scourge Terrormancer. It’s great for controlling the battlefield and sustaining yourself. Check out this build link: [Scourge Terrormancer](http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSFFok1aYZDMM2DDiZil2V/TF-DSJYyRPfZ0VFESKI8HAAA-e). It’s super effective!

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

I honestly wouldn’t put all my faith in Metabattle. It has some solid suggestions, but you should explore other options too. My go-to is a power Reaper with dual swords and a spear, decked out in full Marauder gear. He has around 30k hp, consistently high crit chances, and can stay mobile with his dashes. It feels nearly invincible!

I see your point. Some builds just feel outdated, and if you’re not keen on a class, you won’t perform your best. I personally find Untamed really powerful for open world, but I can’t stand playing it.

Try out the Power Radiance Willbender! With the F1 skill refreshing on kill, you can obliterate low-level enemies effortlessly. It definitely gives off major anime protagonist vibes! Here’s the build link: [Power Radiance Willbender](http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWlEEiWWBbihwSZk4Qv8HBA-DSIYRUxXG1mCVUB2eWAAA-e).

You can’t go wrong with Tempest! It’s versatile for both soloing and group play. Whether you tweak the weapon choices or traits, it just works wonderfully in open world scenarios.
