Guild Wars 2

Sorry for the link to outside. When I tried to copy and paste it all in the links didn’t carry and after writing it all I’m too lazy/tired to do the links again.

This is meant to stimulate players that are new to theorycrafting and new to Warrior to go out and create their own builds, suited to their own skill level and play style.

Would love any seasoned players to have a look and see if you think I’ve missed any synergies or suggest some more, less obvious, trait pairings.

Happy crafting!

^Failed and i am going to let him figure out how

How did this fail?

most of that stuff doesnt fit into a good build. looks like you just typed the weapon names into the wiki and put everything related together you found there. sorry but i doubt this will help too much

No. You’re mistaken. A lot of this doesn’t fit into a good “current” build. And even then I would argue that a few weeks ago the Stances synergy was pretty prevalent in M/S S/M builds.

Typing the weapon names into the wiki would do absolutely nothing for banners, shouts etc, so thanks for the input, but I’m not going to bite. This is meant for new players looking to get into theorycrafting, not trolls.

It’s a decent start. I appreciate what you’re doing, OP, and I wish we saw more posts and ideas like this to help the community.

As a warrior player, however, I fear that, as an introduction to PvP and trait synergy, this page doesn’t bring enough to the table. You introduced the traits, yes, but there isn’t much to this other than a basic introduction, which most new players could figure out simply by clicking on the traits to suit their playstyle. If a new player wants to use a shield, and focus on the shield, he’ll look for traits for it. I fear that the info presented here is a little bit TOO shallow to make for an effective introduction.

A means of improvement, perhaps, would be to introduce players to the basic concepts of sPvP survivability (condi-cleansing, stun breaking, evading + vigor uptime, etc.), and then perhaps examples of trait sets and weapon sets that are complimentary. For example, Greatsword traits and Stance traits are very complimentary because one is unlikely to use the Greatsword burst very consistently, which means Cleansing Ire is not a strong choice for it (generally, not always), which means that Berserker’s Stance provides excellent condition damage reduction. Things like this.
