The point of this build is to never die. And you really shouldn’t it takes a lot to kill you.

Stats to focus

Toughness
Vitality
Healing
Power
(in that order)
This build is to tank and never die while being a pest with cc. You don’t need damage.

Main points

15 trait defense. +120 hp every 3 sec per bar of adrenaline. Because of this I ten to not use the mace burst skill. But sweeing how handy it is there are some times when it is really good to use (interrupt execute or some other channel. Usually done with 3 or 4 instead)

The banner grants regeneration. Like 200+/sec (depending on your healing). Stay near it. Have you allies fight near it.

IMPORTANT: Put sigil of leeching on both maces and both shields. This way whenever you swap weapons your next attack will heal you for 2000. Swap on every CD while in combat.

Skill Use

Swap – do it whenever it isn’t CD

1 – Hit people. Just do it when you aren’t doing anything else.

2 – use it when people are hitting you. You can also use it while out of combat to charge adrenaline for regen.

3 – Nice interrupt. use it whenever it’s off CD if you like to be disruptive. It interupts too so you can also save it for that.

4 – Very good CC. If I have allies i like to combo this with 3 and burst skill to drop a large cc while they kill them.

5 – Good to use if you’re getting focused or low. Also if someone is ranging an ally you can stand between them with this.

6 – Get rid of pesky conditions and heal yourself. Use this when you have stuff like bleed on you because bleed sucks.

7 – Put it down and stand on it. Charge regeneration and stay near it. Carry it around with you. Why not.

8 – Remove conditions. They suck a lot.

9 – Because taking damage sucks.

0 – Your normal skills are better. Use this if you need to be disruptive fast. It’s not worth it to wait for CD so blow everything and switch back.

REMEMBER TO WEAPON SWAP

What runes for armor, and what armor type would you suggest, knights, clerics, berserkers??

is my preferred warrior build

Suddens is a much more cohesive build. Gives more output to his team.

Though Sudden I would switch two things around:

For your main heal take Mending (Cures 2 conditions) Then add another banner in place of Signet of Stamina (Like Banner of Strength or Banner of Discipline) as these banners will give your party more output as well as help your Traits give you more regeneration (Stacking regen +169 hp per second per banner)

Better survivability + Team oriented buffs. I am more of a fan of Precision banners than Power banners because +90 power really isn’t a lot compared to +90 precision if you can get someone closer to 50% crit for the duration ontop of the Fury increase of your elite Banner then they will be hitting for more criticals which in turn is more damage than power.

Just a perspective.

Roll a Guardian. Warriors will never be as good at damage mitigation, self healing so why kitten your profession you are a damage dealer sure you can switch to support roles like off tanking but you can do that with a more damage oriented build.

These builds do not work very well on warriors. Mace is decent in sPvP but utterly lacking in WvW due to its single target nature. If you want to be defensive you can be, but you can also deal a fairly high amount of damage at the same time. Take most of that vitality on your trait line and put it into power with the 5% of power into vitality trait. It’s simply much better as it really doesn’t have that much of an effect on your hp, but allows you to do significantly more damage when combined with the Signet of Rage elite.

I have a question regarding superior sigil of leeching. If you took the trait that gives you only 5 second cool down on weap swap, does that mean you could technically keep healing every 5 seconds if you had two weapons with the sigils of leech?

Because its designed to hold points, Guardians are better off suited for teamwork team mitigation.

Warriors are indirectly selfish kittens – which is why this build works.
It isn’t designed for even killing people its a designed to keep a really kill hungry player occupied, while you maintain a 2 cap lead.

On my tournie build I go Mace/Mace with Mace Shield.

The offhand tremor strike is really good at cc’ing people if you’re 3 stuns are on CD.

Plus its a cone it hits anyone in its path

Since Offhand Mace has some really CC’s
