Greetings,
Since the last patch, Warrior sustain seems better.
I have 1000 pvp games on warrior (Zambonni) with various success in 2014-2015. I did play top tier with my shoutbow build with Tron Jeremy, Demus, Duke and many others.
Does Warrior Shoutbow could be come back to help the Cleric Ele take some hits? (or banner rez?)
Since scrapper support is less bursty and instant, probably the second support class (bruiser like support) “slot” would open to something new…
From theory crafting, I did play HoT Shoutbow with all amulet and Settlers/Cleric where more sustain but less damaging/bursting than the Celestial amulet.
Since I only like to play support heavy builds, I have a lot of fun on my ele or scrapper but if a MAIN warrior that like support role can have some “bruiser type” support build for Warrior, i would try the build and help fine-tuning it with the coming meta.
I just don’t have the time to try all possibilities and find the most efficient before the fine tuning process and I know nothing about the Berzerker Spec.
Thank you for sharing, I will do the same!
My old pve build. Condi focused. You can change the gear as you wish. Every shout heals and gives effect + adrenalin. Start off with popping the signet so you can immideatly start with a berserk. Switching between bow and sword berserk is the way to go as both berserk attack has its own CD.
I tried Shoutbow using the Berserker Trait line and clerics and with sage amulet and i just didnt really enjoy it. Healing was decent but it just doesnt hit hard enough IMO.

Cleric and Sage. I agree. I did play Cleric and the burst is not enough. Doing so, probably going with a power weapon like “rifle” and sword/warhorn on cleric could be a bit better, but longbow utilities (fire field and pin down) are key staple for support.
The build work well with healing power + condition damage amulet and the only combo of that is Sage…. but even, the toughness is need to be able to take a beating to cleanses, rez and stomp. So Sage is not enough to be condition support with the build.
I didn’t tried Mercenary because I am not sure the healing of shouts or healing signet would be enough… but since demolition war have great sustain… perhaps Mercenary could resurrect shoutbow. The thing, is the rune for shout (soldier) is still need for cleanses… warhorn buff (2 cleanse and not just 1) would not be enough to change soldier for water rune.

Still looking for main warrior that like supportive role to find some nice build to work on.
