So I’m new to the forum (this is my first post) and to the game as well. I have logged roughly 230 out of my 245 hours playing GW2 over the past 3 and a half weeks on my Warrior. I got this game for Christmas so I apologize if I am unfamiliar with terms or in-game mechanics a head of time.
For 80 levels and up until I got to FotM 20, I used a GS with a shouts build. However, I’d like to switch to something that still can benefit my team with decent damage and good support but with a bit more utility. I liked the GS for kiting, mobility and its burst, but I got melted in huge mobs of trash especially with a lot of CC.
For this reason, I’m trying to make a build for higher dungeons and FotM runs. I have chosen the Axe MH for crits and DPS and a shield for the block and stun. I run a 20/20/25/0/0 build with melandru karma equips, superior pack runes and valkyrie trinkets. I am using the shield traits as well as unsuspecting foe, axe mastery and rending strikes. I also threw on restorative strength cause I hate being stuck and I didnt take turtles defense. If it matters, I’ve been using SiO, FGJ, OMM, Mending and Rage Signet
I would greatly appreciate any feedback on what I could do to better support my team without sacrificing too much DPS. Thanks in advance
