Guild Wars 2 - Power Quickness Troubadour | Lonely Tower CM (with written commentary)

Introduction ══════════════════
Yes I do have a second account, and yes I play a lot of Troubadour there too, so I thought why not but PoVs up from both accounts, right?

I'm not really a power damage lover mostly, but Troubadour has me even enjoying power. I was playing around with firework runes and greatsword/spear for some time, but the damage was feeling too low for me, and also it felt like my quickness application was massively over 100%, so I swapped to dragonhunter runes and bam, the damage got into a nice spot for me at least!

Due to Syncopate, shield can be a viable off-hand; it isn't the highest damage off-hand, but I enjoy Mesmer shield, so it feels nice to be able to use it without massively hindering your damage. It also helps with easier Claw up-time!

This run was a bit chaotic following the second split, and I feel having non-perfect PoVs alongside smooth PoVs can be helpful but also realistic, as not every single run is going to be "perfect" - and PoVs like this can show fights can be completed even if there is some turbulence throughout.

Eparch did have an Envy stack from near the start too, so he had passive boon corrupt which was rather irritating and then the boon rip of the eye champions also further impacted my quickness up-time, but I can definitely say the quickness application on this build under normal circumstances is really solid!

It got pretty rough in the final phase, but we managed through! This was from a guild run so I've tried to ensure anonymity is maintained with blurring out more info ^^

Do note, in this PoV I do not have an ascended backpiece, and instead have the level 78 exotic one for an infusion slot, so the damage could be higher due to that - but also I do not have any fractal attunement titles (such as Fractal God) like on my main, and they do provide a damage boost too.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments!
