Guild Wars 2

Up until now for pve I was running full zerk greatsword build, but now with the new traits I am finding that GS is lackluster. I am LOVING my new sword and I always carry a shield so my preferred set right now is pretty much sword/shield + Rifle for anything ranged.

Now I jump in and out of pve and wvw about 60-40 so of course I would like something that can be played in both realms. For us warriors, it can easily be done now since I am using a more balanced build with traits that compliment my sword and shield, as opposed to running a pure glasscannon for pve purposes, I have found that my traits are working well no matter what I am doing and there is no need for swapping! Great!

Cleansing Ire and burst mastery are so fun.

What do you fellow warriors suggest I wear as far as gear goes? Currently I am wearing full Zerk armor with valk trinkets and it seems to be working alright. I am not very good at crunching numbers however and although I can play effectively, my stats may not be as effective as they should. I much prefer going a power build for sword, and do understand that sometimes toughness > vitality.

Everything is up in the air for me at the moment. Trying to balance my build stat wise the best I can between Crit chance/Damage, power, toughness and vit. Cant have it all, but I can sure try. I have seen a lot of people running hammer now and have listed some armor to supplement that, but I dislike that thing so much and really prefer sword/shield.
