Is 1h Mace and shield viable in PvP? I tried it out in WvW today and I found it kinda hard to hit ANYONE. They would just run circles around me kiting me. I would charge them with Bull’s Charge but then by the time I almost finish my first swing, the kd is off and they’re off again. So, is 1h mace viable or too slow for PvP?

Sadly the only build that seems to really be viable (and I use that term loosely) in TPvP is the typical BR+HB greatsword build. Even then most teams are finding out they’re better off just bringing another thief instead of the warrior.

At least that’s the meta on my server (Anvil Rock). Other warrior builds would be fun/nice but most all of them are pretty weak compared to GS. And GS is mediocre itself.

man that sucks knowing I’ve spent this much time into one champ only to find out that the most mediocre build is the only viable one… How would you rate a dual axe build? Because as far as I’m aware Hundred Blades is easily kiteable + you can’t move while you do it. Whearas whirling axe you can move. thoughts?

plus i’ve been reading on here that 2h hammers are actually better than 2 swords?

guys thoughts on this build:

1) lots of cc removal from 2nd tier runes from Tactics and Defense
2) Missle deflection on 2 skills. Counter blow and shield stance.
3) extra long cc after every interrupt you do (lots of interrupts because shield + mace has lots of interrupt skills)
