My warrior currently has rifle (ranged pull + dmg) -> gs (finishing off the mob).

He is doing great (atm..lvl 20) as I keep on visiting auction house every few levels.

I would like to know which other weapons provide higher dps/dmg while leveling.

I always relied on my trusty GS and never looked back. From time to time I use the longbow for its F1 when there are lots of mobs (and #3 to stack some might in that fire field), even without having 1 point in condi damage, it cranks out decent numbers. Otherwise I swap to Axe mainhand as it has a pretty hard hitting auto attack and of course eviscerate. The offhand is up to the player and the situation. If you want defense and like to bash your enemies with your offhand, use shield. If you want to do the raging berserker style, go twin axe, but some consider that to be sub-par.

Generally, you can level every class on every weapon they can wield, with mixed success. Going perfect DPS is another thing, of course.

Would you also run sword on a power warrior? To my understanding it is a condi weapon…? Perhaps I should give it another twirl.

Mostly just movement but also there is final thrust. Mainly I would just alternate between hundred blades and whirling axe.

Totally forgot about final thrust, good point.
Alright, so for today’s agenda: Craft flashy sword and git gud with it

i cant leave w/o the final thrust, besides that bleeds can help as well to build crit chance since my build is moslty on low crit chance i use it as well to increase damage :]

1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.

Final thrust is the same damage as a mace eviscerate burst. 100 blades>arc divider>swap Eviscerate is nasty when it pulled off.

That all said that Burst on sword can be nice too. I in fact prefer the base burst to the Primal as you get Immobs with those bleeds. #3 is a nice gap closer so sword main hand is not all bad in a power build.

I don’t think you play warrior if you think Evis is a mace skill and savage leap is sword 3. Or your English fails harder than mine.

I didnt use anything but GS, rifle and axe/shield. Still dont really. Those pretty much cover everything I need to do.

Or I should not post late on a Friday night after having imbided in too many beverages.

What you THINK I play is immaterial. The warrior I play uses GS one hand and X/shield in the other where at any given time that X can be one of axe , mace or sword, dependining on what I feel like at the time.

Sword is fine for leveling.

Axe /axe is fast and cleaves. It doesn’t get easier than axe 5 and watch them drop Like flies.

GS mainly for travel.
