Guild Wars 2

I heard that some nerfing occurred so I’m not sure my current build will work any longer. Please link your current builds! Thank you

as commander you need to survive to the last moment, there are others to deal damage

For tier is this for?

T1 – T5 , blob fights, you need to survive
even lower tiers have blob fights so can be usefull

commander needs to survive, if comamnder is dead he cant lead, thus commander cant go zerker, specialy with current comamdner sniping crap

would go for melandru personally…

I’m currently running Dolyak and I think my build is very similar still so that works. Is that substantial enough or should I switch over to trooper or Melandru?

I actually wanted to make a build originally just for solo ‘survive as long as possible’ regarding warrior due to their plethora of traits/ability things that grant regen etc but I found it also useful for frontline zerging/CMDing.

I’m still experimenting with it so a few utilities are kind of meh but it’s fun. I know I’m literally doing zero dmg but hey.. it’s tanky as hell.

ARMOR, WEAPONS, RUNES, SIGILS:

• Armor: Full Nomads
• Weapons: Full Nomads
• Trinkets: Full Nomads

• Armor Runes: Superior Rune of the Dolyak

This build is focusing on being tanky. Eating a lot of CCs for your zerg, jumping out if it gets too dangerous and being able to regen quick and generally just being annoying to take down if people focus you (good at wasting THEIR time).

• Weapon set MAINHAND: Greatsword (for mobility purposes, can swap to Hammer for CCs)
• Weapon set OFF-HAND: Sword + BOTH Warhorn (out of combat, zerg swiftness) AND Shield (About to enter combat)

• Mainhand Sigils: Superior Sigil of Momentum + Superior Sigil of Purity
• Off-hand Sigils: Superior Sigil of Momentum + EITHER Superior Sigil of Purity OR Superior Sigil of Renewal

TRAITS:

0 | 0 | 6 | 6 | 2

DEFENSE: Shield Master (added toughness + reduced recharge is obvious), Dogged March (this is a toss up between DM or you can choose Sure-Footed. I like DM due to the regen), Rousing Resilience (Every utility this build has is a stun-breaker. You have a trait that is a stun-breaker. 1000 toughness for 8 seconds can be a life saver. This trait apparently has no CD either you can stack stunbreakers for the +1K toughness?)

TACTICS: Empowered or Leg Specialist (Nothing too useful on the blue traits sadly), Shrug it Off (This is your stun-breaker trait to proc Rousing Resilience and the condi cure(s) are nice), Empower Allies (obviously because you’re in a zerg)

DISCIPLINE: Warrior’s Sprint (You’ll probably have perma-swiftness if you’re running with a zerg but if not feel free to choose something more.. useful(?) that compliments the build)

SLOT SKILLS:

This is still being experimented with but the Dolyak Signet is a keeper.

• Healing Signet (This is your regen source, try never to activate)
• Dolyak Signet (Try to keep for passive effect)
• Balanced Stance (Obvious stab is obvious, stunbreaker)
• Endure Pain (Use at start of zerg vs zerg collision or whenever you feel appropriate)
• Signet of Rage (originally just for mobility but could swap for Battle Standard)

FOOD, UTILITY FOOD, APPLICABLE BOOSTERS:

FOOD: Bowl of Cactus Soup (“Gain health every second, +70 Toughness”)

UTILITY FOOD: Potion of Karka Toughness (“+150 Toughness”)

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Potion_Of_Karka_Toughness

APPLICABLE BOOSTERS Rejuvenation Booster (If you really, really, really want to get that extra bit of regen… why not?)

EDIT: Sorry if this post is lengthy, idk how to use that website that makes the builds etc but generally speaking… I’ve either been the last one standing in battle plenty of times or have successfully escaped/survived due to this build.

EDIT #2:: I am using full exotics; don’t have the geode things yet for ascended.

Melandru is great but its the “sellfish” rune.
i preffer Trooper rune when commanding as I go for shouts thus why not to use them fully.
I have -40% condi from food and with shouts I can support my group with healing,boons and condi cleansing.
I rather survive with my group than let them die and run alone.
