Q:

So I am nearly 80 on my first character, which is a Warrior. Thus far being an up-level in WvW I’ve been speced for Banners/Shouts to help in some productive way, rather than trying to DPS. Once I am 80 and geared however, I would like to play a more roaming style of Warrior, Signets, GS, etc.

So not knowing any of the 80 gear, I’m looking to find out the most productive path once 80. I don’t want to waste points on gear that will be replaced and henceforth make my long term gear goals set further in the distance.

Any advice would be appreciated, I simply do not want to waste my time blowing points or gold in the wrong places. Thanks so much.

Well I can’t speak for the “meta” or whatever others use. But when I roam in a small group with a warrior I use knights armor and trinkets with zerk weapons. The extra toughness is nice and with perma fury my crit chance is in the 80%-90% range.

I use PVT jewelry and Zerk armor. When I go full support, I switch out the zerk armor for PVT. The warrior does very well with PVT armor and it is hard to go wrong using it exlcuding the condi warrior builds.

My roaming/skirmish build is centered around might generation, control and escape. My large group build is a pretty typical shout build.

@OP if you are going to play roaming style you should focus to generate might as soon as possible as Straegen.2938 suggested , to cc your area around you and to have options to escape .

in warriors forum section there are many builds to take an idea what people are using most , but my only advice is if you go for roaming choose weapons to escape … escape when you are outnumbered it is helping a lot your morale

Thanks guys, everyone has been helpful. Even received a private message helping out as well. Truly amazed at the community. I come from many MMO’s, but mostly WoW. The forums there are toxic as is the player base in game. It’s refreshing to be dealing with mature adults, that are willing to help so much. Last night I did hit 80, and purchased up Knights armor, mostly exotic pieces, and will build from there. I only had 19g to work with. Have yet to have time to play with traits and skills completely, but tonight I will sort that all out. Thanks again guys, appreciated!
