So my warrior has about 2500 attack and doesn’t do much damage to veteran guards or even mobs wandering around the field, which is weird because my gs skill 200b doesn’t even go over 10000. Is this because I need to have stack more attack or is it just that all the npcs in wvw have extra armor and toughness?

Scouts have blind, it might be making you miss a few hits of 100b.

they’re level 80 veterans and they might have Bloodlust stacks.

Clearly you need to stack more attack!
My 200b goes over 20,000 when I’m pimped and ready. It oneshots(100shots?) those freakin’ lvl 80 guards.
Zerker, infusions, and all the other stuff is to be expected.

You could go full zerker.

And then die to the next thief who looks at you funny.

If you roam and get caught by a thief while NOT wearing berserker, you don’t stand a chance. If he’s competent.
If you wear berserker, you might at least have a shot to insta-down him.

I’d rather use a very tanky condition warrior against a thief than a glass cannon warrior.

Low risk is no fun…

So what’s the minimum attack warrior should have Evalia if 2500 is too low?

I’ve seen theory-crafted builds with much higher attack. Nearly 4000, even without might stacks. Never tried it myself.

I don’t think these builds real… At least not without the might stacks.

I mean, take a look at my warrior build. I even used ascended armor and infusions that I don’t have yet and I barely got past 3k with bloodlust stacked. I don’t see how someone can get to 4k.

At the OP.

Best reason I can think for your damage being low even in all zerker gear is that yes they likely do have increased armor.

But your critical chance is also a bit low (you have some fury, but not that much).

My suggestion would be to try some Omnomberry ghosts or omnombery pie & use oils instead of sharpening stones.
This will give you around 9% crit chance & health steal on crit (which further increases damage and helps your survive a bit)
