Guild Wars 2

- So you use Axe/axe and something with mace?
- utilities?
- lack of survivability as every trait goes for dmg-increase?

Yeap, typical warrior build nowdays. “All damage, 0 defence.” Why? Because if you invest in defence and try something tactical, game punish you for that and you will lose. Better go “I kill someone fast and then die.”.

Funny thing is, lately I’ve been finding out that you can spec your traits defensively and still go out and wreck people.

The game has been trying to teach us this for a while now but big numbers are always enticing anyway.

I don’t think you have to go all defense, a mace stun warrior can do just the job.

Axe/Axe is just not viable right now. Infact Axe offhand in general is just not viable.

The pitiful Fury on 4 is a bit of a waste of time, and don’t get me started on Axe 5. I love the idea of dual axe, but the damage is just pointless. Axe auto attack (correct me if I am wrong someone) does more damage than Axe 5, and doesn’t broadcast to everyone that you are trying to do some damage by spinning around for 5 seconds like a maniac. If you think you won’t get insta interrupted (if you don’t pop stab) or immobilized, then you need to play more team based tPvP and less solo queue.

That being said, don’t stop theorycrafting! The more people we have trying new things the better.

yeah… i see 0 condi removal and 0 sustain. this will be a tough build to survive with

It’s not that.. You’ve chosen all the worse traits for dps. Also lyssa is better for melee warriors IMO.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I’m just messing around with my own builds and trying to create at least half decent ones. Guess I’ll try to figure out a new build that will benefit more survivability and more damage at the same time.

Recently I tried something new and it works well. The new berserker stance is doing fine againt those condition bursts and the 3.45sec stun can be chain to 100b or allow your team to burst someone down. Mace also had decent damages.

It’s not perfect because I did this quickly, so if you have any suggestions.

Glass cannon without even shield off-weaponset. My god, just…. my god.

Are you ever not waiting for respawn? If you are not waiting for respawn for even 50% of the game I will be highly impressed.

Yet another “warrior torpedo” build.

Rush in, roll your face across the keyboard, down your opponent, get downed yourself.

Watch the rest of the team fight over your bodies while you lay there saying “I got vengeance soon”. Repeat about a thousand times doing the same “warrior torpedo” thing over and over again.

After about 4 months of this, come to the forums and say warriors are fine with a smile at the end.

Warriors is fine

Jokes. 10 months later run this

Or generic longbow build.

All three people still playing warrior that is

Try: 0/20/30/0/20
Its not ideal build but its versile and you have good mobility/damage/defence. If you need higher damage you switch gear / jewelry instead of spec. Works with Mace+Shield/GS, Sword+Shield/GS, Axe+Shield/GS, if you dont like shield then add some weapon and change traits according to weapon you are using. But as always, play what you prefer and experiment a lot.
