Guild Wars 2

Hey, I’m new to the Warrior and I’ve opened it mainly for Large scale WvW fights, my favorite mode in the game :P
Can you please help me with some Builds with balance between damage, survivability and support? :P [Note that as a soldier irl who’s only home on weekends, I can’t really get any Ascended or Legendaries xD So keep it Exotic please]

Builds below are almost identical; the slight difference with armor runes and 2nd buff – runes of melandru vs resistance and 2nd buff (precision vs power).

Axe/warhorn & Hammer, 0/0/30/20/20

Melandru (precision buff):

Resistance (power buff)

Bring along a longbow for castle seige.

I would dump SoS and replace it with FGJ. In your Traits I would drop both Quick Breathing and Leg Specialist and pick up Empower Allies and Lung Capacity and increase your DPS and the DPS of your group.

Empower Allies:
Depends on the builds of other warriors in your guild/zerg. This trait does not stack.

Leg Specialist:
I prefer this over Lung Capacity (especially since I am not using a shout in this build – see below) – first contact between zergs most folks have stability up. Hammer #3 chill combine with immobilize works well.

In my mind SoS is one of the best utilities we have and with all the condition driven builds out there nowadays is needed. Shout “For greater Justice” has great benefits for the group and needs to be consider when building with guild in mind. However, Zerg vs Zerg winner is usually not the side which has the first downed character. Dont be that person. Comes down to mind set of guild/individual; beserker vs bunker.

Quick Breathing provides swiftness and vigor, both stack, to self and allies.

How about a shout heal + conditional build

Some Ascended here, but just replace it with exoc

A small team hammer build, more for gorilla warfare: (just replace ascend with exoc)

Thanks for your replies :P

I wanna discuss Distracting Strikes [Strengh VII trait], do you think it can be usefu; for large scale WvW hammer build? I know that confusion is really strong in PvP and with hammer having AoE interrupts on small CD I think it can work really well. What do you think?

So,
After some experience in WvW and the new patch giving us 2 sigils options, it comes down to these options for me:

With hammer and GS both equipped with Bloodlust + Restoration sigils [’Cause of the lack of ICD it actually works great in WvW :P]
