Advice for a 2h GS build
Sorry i forgot to add i am mostly focusing on PVE, since it ain’t possible to have a character for both but if there is a build that can manage on both PVE and PVP that be nice p.p!
Seems like you should look into the Altruistic Healing thread/threads. GS/Hammer apparently work great with Altruistic Healing and that’s what I’m headed for myself, personally.
I call this build: The Face Tank Knight

Not so much a DPS build but for Solo/Team PvE I live by it. The build has high survivability written all over it. I went with Knight’s Armor with Superior Dolyak runes. So I prefer toughness over vitality.
Notes:
The great sword will heal you every time you connect with it. You will get large amounts of health if you use the symbol of wrath and then Whirling Wrath. Every symbol you can put on the ground will not only heal you and all allies inside it but will make every monster vulnerable (5 stacks). Also remember monsters take damage every second they are standing inside of the symbol so keep them there. Since you have a signet for your main heal and a trait that reduces the cooldown by 20% you can use that heal around every 30 seconds.
I generally save the signet of resolve until my health reaches 1/4th because when it hits 1/2 I use the shout “Hold the line” to reduce damage and have a little regeneration going on while I’m swinging my sword. It most always brings you back up to full health if you play your cards right.
Only time I die is when my evasion tactics are poor on the big hits. I can solo majority of the Champions with this sure it takes some time to kill some things but it can be done with a little skill. Dungeons the team buff build is probably better but I have went in with this and we still did fine.
