Guild Wars 2

I was recently enlightened by the destruction laid onto me by conditions. I don’t currently have cleansing ire on, as I want the hammer recharge trait (30/20/20/0/0). My question is, will my dps be affected a large amount if I put ten of my arms points into defense so I can have the hammer skill + cleansing ire?

While this post can be in WvW or Warrior section, I think you’ll get better answers in the warrior section. WvW forums is only for crying.

I agree with Keiel.
As for dropping 10 in Arms for 10 more in Def, you’d have to elaborate more. Without you telling us traits or gear, you’d lose Precision and Condition Damage, and you’d gain Toughness and Healing Power. I’m guessing you’ll be glad to drop whatever Arms trait you have for Cleansing Ire, unless you’re using a rifle.

what i like in warrior: put 20-30 points in toughness and you will be totaly ok in wvw

Going down the defense line is likely going to cost spike damage but won’t effect the sustained damage much. IMO I cannot imagine roaming or skirmish without Dogged March and Cleansing Ire in the current game state. Over half the builds I run into are reliant on some form of condition damage.
