Q:

Hey this build sounds awesome. My question is what are the major traits I should be choosing? A link to a known build would be very helpful. Thank you.
Edit: Id like to add that I read 30/25/0/0/15 is better for unorganized groups is this true, why?

A:

30/25/0/0/15 is better on pugs because you can use Forceful Greatsword to self-stack Might.
30/0/0/10/30 users usually assume near max Might stacks. Heightened Focus is still bugged so it gives only 9% Critical Chance which also makes this build weaker.

With 30/0/0/10/30 you want pick Dual Wielding, Axe Mastery, Berserker’s Power, Empower Alllies (Empowered if someone is using this already), Signet Mastery/Inspiring Shouts/whatever, Sharpened Axes/whatever, Heightened Focus.

How do you know heightened focus is bugged ? it doesnt even show how much crit chance you get in your hero pannel

By testing in builds that should hit 100% with the +15%. You don’t get guaranteed crit until you have enough for the old value (12%). Berserker’s Power has also been demonstrated to not use the updated value either.

Two questions aimed at no one in particular.
1) Does the Berserker ‘s Power trait still apply its bonus to Burst Attacks? I’d assume it would seeing as the hit connects before your adrenalin is depleted, but any confirmation would be appreciated.
And 2) Has it been considered that the Warrior running Banner of Discipline should instead spend those 10 points in Tactics on Inspiring Banners? The added range isn’t much of an issue as the base range is fairly adequate for most encounters, rather the reduced CD. Essentially every second that the BoD isn’t down is a party wide >15% damage loss (even I notice the reduced crit rate when it isn’t down.) Given that statement said Warrior should run full buff-bot Banner of Strength and Discipline + FGJ to make the most of reduced CD.

Burst mastery in disc, and I would go for empowered allies in tactics, although isn’t it still bugged? And forceful greatsword in strength although if you’re dealing with lots of thieves/mesmers I’d swap it up for axe mastery.

30/0/0/10/30 is better precisely because you don’t need to might stack to hit hard with that evisc – also synergises better with precision runes (ie lyssa).

I tend to like 30/10/0/0/30 a bit more. I’m not sure how much % is empowered. I thought it was 2%, but wiki says 1% now for some reason. So I rather have the vulnerability stack.

30/0/0/10/30 is much more important for the first warrior in a group to be running empower allies. 750 extra power party wide.
