Guild Wars 2

So while my MMR quickly sunk as soon as the patch hit like probably every warrior out there, I’m slowly bringing myself back up with the only build I’ve used that doesn’t make me feel like a liability. Sure it’s not the most viable thing out there but hey, gotta make use of what we got right?

Build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQJATRnMdAdhgNeAWhAElilqATpHE7yBILuGQA4902antA-TpBGwAIOCAh2fAwhAowFA4wDAIaZAA

(Dolyak Signet and sigils are optional)

This just plays like basic warrior LB/Gs but now with berserker you can you can do a couple more combos like headbutt > berserk mode > hundred blades > arcing slice or w/e. Then just unload kitten on point with your longbow so you don’t get blown up in team fights. And finally, the primal burst on greatsword actually isn’t too bad (unlike the hammer one).

So basically, the only good thing about berserk mode is that you get a perma 1 stack of stability, using it as a stunbreak, and umm it has a cool animiation?

The reason people played GS/Longbow was because it had a lot of damage but in turn sacrificed a lot of defense . It caught enemies off guard, and that was really it, after you were found out, you became the easiest possible target to focus down. It was a great dueling build. Rampage gave you a little more survivability and damage in pvp matches before you were easily focused/bursted, but even then no one used it in actual tournament matches. This build sacrifices damage which is what the other strength tree based build is all about. Without the damage from the strength tree and the slightly extra survivability from rampage, your build is a very squishy hybrid build that doesn’t really do much damage. Yeah it does damage, but if you’re gonna go full physical damage just go all the way and use the strength tree. Basically the Berserker tree was forced and the elite skill it gives you doesn’t give you anything significantly beneficial. It is not worth taking berserker tree over strength tree with full physical traits and stats.
Also rampage makes these full physical damage warriors viable. Any full physical damage build not running rampage is either a dueling build, or useless.

while i do miss some traits like reckless dodge and building momentum, there is 1 reason to take berserker with headbutt, and that’s to headbutt > berserk mode > hundred blades. it’s like a free skull crack without having to take mace. and that we just got a little more buffs so we’ll see how it goes lol.
