Aw no help?

Can anyone suggest me some good builds to use in wvw?

I use axe/axe & rifle and find it very viable for WvW & PvE

Hey guys,

I need some help coming up with a build for WvW mainly, and I’d like to see what builds people are using in PVE as well. The gear I am using is all DPS based, (berserker exotic set) and I don’t think the build I’m using is taking advantage of it properly.

If anyone can help me out, let me know.

Oh, my weapons of choice are
- Greatsword (good burst dps)
-dual wield axe
- axe/warhorn

Everything I say will be purely anecdotal.

For WvW, the most important thing you will deal with is the Target limit. Most abilities have a maximum number of players they can hit in one tick or pulse. Melee attacks are typically restricted to 3 except in certain cases. Projectiles are typically limited to 1 (or 3 with pierce).

My current setup for WvW is Greatsword / Longbow for reasons I’ve posted before.

• Longbow – Longbow has no target limit on Arcing Arrow, Fan of Fire and the 3-pt Combustive Shot.

This one is big. Not only is the initial damage of the shot big, it stacks burning very quickly on a very large area. Following up with Arcing Arrow will take most enemies to roughly half health if you’ve taken the bonus to Longbow damage on burning targets and will grant Might x3 to all allies. Finally, chaining in a Fan of Fire will result an entire section of the enemy force dropping to low HP with 6+ stacks of burning within seconds. This combo almost always triggers a panic response, and often leads to the enemy front line breaking.

• Greatsword – Whirlwind attack and Bladetrail have no target limits.

Greatsword is not quite as drastic, but it provides high mobility, a free evade, and a gap closer. A key thing to keep in mind is that the majority of the ‘hits’ from Whirlwind attack occur at the beginning of the attack. This means ideally you can run ‘inside’ your target, whirlwind backwards, and lose no or few hits worth of damage, while distancing yourself from the target.

My favorite combo is to Rush in, whirl back, and toss the sword to cripple anyone who rushes in to follow. Hundred Blades should never be used when outnumbered.

Your using full berserker?

Plz get some Valkyre to boost your base hp without losing dps

The cap for crit is 70% raw stat, fury gives you 20% so you should only have 50%

I appreciate the replies.

Sneakier… are you using “For great justice”? I don’t use that, so I stacked up on precision for more crit chance. Should I start using that and get valkyre gear?

Nope, i dont play warrior but a class with full berseker in pve is no good, especialy classes that tend to go melee like the warrior.

In WvWvW and pve general, its quite easy to get “Fury” and i read that 70% is crit chance cap (only traits can boost it higher from what i read)

I bet that having full berserks makes your crit chance go over the top

Yes it also depends on your traits, you should find more about this mechanic.

If what am saying is right, you should trade some of that berseker gear for valkyre

Berseker gives:

Power
Precision
Crit damage

Valkyre gives:

Power
Vitality
Crit damage

If am right you will get more hp for no loss of dps
