Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering the dps difference for a generic dps warrior if I used soros greatsword instead of zojja greatsword. I really want a different color than red and was wondering if it is too suboptimal? Also overall what is the dps difference between the two? Thanks for any answer

Well I don’t honestly know about the difference, but you can make both and just transmute them. Not that that is ideal, because it is a waste of mats, but it is a possibility if it is a huge difference in damage

Yah there are too many alts that need ascended weps before I worry about the looks. I was just wondering if I could save a step and get a decent looking gs

Soros = assassin’s right?

I think the loss of damage wouldn’t be all that much, as the added precision helps add criticals, so it probably would be fine. It might be a good idea to eventually get a zojjas and transmute it once you’re done outfitting other alts. I think when assassins came out someone asked this question and the verdict was that it was likely the same amount of damage unless you’re going against something that you can’t critical hit.

Insert your stats, gear, build, common utilities and common party setting here:

In the given situation, assuming banner of discipline being up but no stacks/food, Soro’s is slightly better than Zojja’s.
You might want to change to 30/25/0/0/15, though, as 30/0/0/10/30 was kind of destroyed with the empower allies → master tier patch.
About stacks and food you might want to use Bloodlust + Precision Food. In more organized fights (22-25 might, banner of strength, probably empower allies) you can use Perception + Power Food.

Full berserker armor with scholar runes. All berserker ascended trinkets except backpiece. 30/0/0/10/30 for traits. Axe/mace and gs for weapons force sigil on gs/mace bloodlust on axe. Utilities: FGJ, banner of discipline or whichever is needed for group, SoR and 1 for situational use mostly either shake it off or endure pain. I usually run in pugs with ~15 might stacks and constant fury.

Is 30/0/0/10/30 much weaker compared to 30/25/0/0/15? Because i still use the first build so i can keep a banner up all the time, and in the pugs i run the fights usually last long enough so i need to cast the banner a second time, even a third.
I still like to use the first build because of the lower banner cooldown.

In optimal situations (perma 25 might) it’s just a little difference. If you are averaging more like 15 stacks, the difference becomes huge. Then add the vuln from rending strikes and 20% gs cooldown and 30/0/0/10/30 becomes quite bad.
And in solo situations, like at lupicus, you’re probably missing around 30% damage.
