Q:

Right now I’m currently trying to reinvent the greatsword build I was running (based on Noxxic’s dps focused warrior) and I want to figure out what gear to use. I have Rampager’s gear (the runes I have are fine for right now, all about might stacking) with berserker’s Greatsword/Rifle and berserker’s trinkets. Rampager’s gear has higher precision on it, but should I run berserker’s armor for the extra crit damage? I worry that the condition damage on the gear is taking away from the overall dps in a fight. And there’s also Knight’s gear that has lower stats but adds quite a bit of toughness so I can stay in the fights longer. It feels like I’m just not quite getting the impact that I want on the battlefield, the subtle ticks of bleeds and other sources of damage just don’t feel as satisfying as consistent big numbers, but that doesnt mean they still aren’t doing good damage.

Where’s my Dervish, ANet?!

If you want the high numbers, always go full Berserker. With Forceful Greatsword and FGJ [which also gives fury] you will be an unstoppable powerhouse. At the moment, Ruby orbs are much more economically safe than going for runes.

  • Traits you need are 30/30/0/010 – Link
  • For Great Justice [For the Might and Fury] + Shake It Off [Every War must run this] + [Any uti of your choice] + Sigent of Rage.
  • Runes [as said above, proper runes are expensive and some of the best ones are bugged, like the Sup Rune of Strength. Thus, Ruby orbs]
  • Berzerker exo trinkets along with any back item that gives power and crit [since there is no PPC back piece except for the Assasins Guild Backpack, Fractals Back piece and the Ascended Gear.
  • Sigil of Bloodlust on GS and any situational Sigil on the Rifle.
  • Superior Sharpening Stone along with Plate of Truffle Steak

Also, what was your highest Hundred Blades hit?

I quick way to increase your power is to stick Exqusite Ruby Jewels in your trinkets. You didn’t say so I’m assuming that you have rampagers jewelry.

I’m assuming you’re gear looks like this. http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8|1.1g.0|4.1g.0|1o.0.1o.0.1o.0.1o.0.1o.0.1o.0|1o.63.1o.63.1o.63.1o.63.1o.63.0.0|u000.u000.0.0.a0|0.0|e

If if substitute in Exquisite Ruby Jewels your effective power goes up about 7 %
