Guild Wars 2

So as a warrior no matter what build I was using I always felt outclassed in one way or another, I tried tons of different builds and weapons, some of which were good, but none really were that consistently successful. And recently I put together my own build that ive found is versatile enough to be successful in lots of different scenarios without sacrificing damage and mobility.

The build uses sword shield/ rifle, which is a combination rarely seen, at least at my level. Personally I think both weapon sets are under rated. sword has mobility and a finisher, shield offers crown control and defense, then the rifle offers good ranged damage, some cc and a big finisher.

Trait wise, it is 0,4,6,2,2 with the key traits being

Tactics 2 leg specialist: immobilize the enemy when you apply a cripple
(sword basic attack chain 3, sword 2, and rifle 2 all have cripples so you get tons of cc and fury)

Arms 9 opportunist: gain fury when you immobilize a foe

Discipline 3 warriors sprint: 25% extra movement speed with a melee weapon
(the mobility is great, this is a pretty standard trait)

I then pick up defensive traits to keep me from getting locked down and bursted

Specifically I take;
1,9
2,8,12
1
3

Then theres zerker amulet, eagle runes, and battle and accuracy sigils

But the gist of the builld is you can lock down and damage enemies fairly well with your sword, only using final thrust when they are below half health (huge damage when below 50), then if they get away from you, you can imobalize, make vulnerable and dish out lots of damage quickly with the rifle 3 skill. If you find yourself in the rare situation where you can knock someone off a cliff you have the 5 skill for that. And lastly, sword shield offers a really good escape maneuver provided you have your skills ready if you 4 stun them, then untarget and jump away with your two.

I am very curious to see how other warriors do with this build so post back here after wards or just your general thoughts after reading this. It is my go to build now

Ok. A few things right off the bat.

I didn’t need to read through your entire post to notice some things that you could do better.

First off, if you are going to list your traits, don’t use numbers… Use roman numerals instead. Idk if its just me but its not worth my time to keep looking back and forth when I already know the roman numerals for the traits.

Second, you don’t have fast hands.

And lastly, it’d just be easier if you used http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/ to show your build.

No longbow, terrible condi removal, low direct damage and no condi damage, noone is gonna get hit by killshot and if you save your shield stun to escape (That is gonna happen in seconds vs any decent build) you won’t land final thrust to…

i could go on…but think you got the point…
