The combat in GW2 is something I like. The idea of different weapons providing different skills and being able to swap to different weapons in combat easily.

So what are your prefered Weapons of Choice and why?

As a warrior i’ve gone with:
Set 1: Main Hand: Sword
Off Hand: Axe

Set 2: Main Hand: Mace
Off Hand: Shield
or
Two handed rifle.

I like the sword and axe combination as it gives me a leap in to battle, very nice when enemies are spread out and you are crippled, the F1 attack is a nice CC as well, and you have a basic CC. The Axe, a decent single blow and a brilliant AoE attack that really increases the adrenaline fast.

The mace and shield combination I like for tougher mobs. The mace is slow but hits harder than either sword or axe, and has a nice defensive attack, plus has stuns. The shield stuns and defends.

The rifle is useful for pulls, slow tough mobs, champions (so I dont get hit :P ), anf flying mobs.

Greatsword for the mobility and dmg output and riffle for the same reasons as your own ^^

Same, except I prefer the longbow over the rifle. The rifle has better single target damage but that’s it. Longbow has better AoE dmg, better CC, and you can use every shot while moving.

Also, I love setting up my own combos, and you can’t do that with the rifle.
