Guild Wars 2

First I wanted to do a pure DPS build on my warrior, berserker style with a GS and 2 axes. The build works great for Overworld PvE, but obviously such a build goes down so fast in a dungeon that you can never dish out all of your damage.

Then I tried a support build based around Shout Healing, Party buffing and condition removal, and CC. Groups love this build, but I find it very boring to be a CC and support machine (It just isn’t my style.)

I’ve been trying to concoct a PvE build for my warrior that would allow me to ratain a certain degree of survivability with toughness and healing and still dish out a respectable amount of damage with a greatsword (Because I love this weapon), AND provide a bit of group utility. I think I’ve come up with a fairly decent build:

http://gw2.luna-atra.fr/skills_tool/?lang=en&code=347000000000000070kkf0fe4fa1l1p1q2l

The build is centered around retaining 3 levels of adrenaline at all times to increase my damage by 12%, my crit chance by 9%, and give me a dose of health regeneration from the 15 Defense trait, along with the Healing Signet.

For my gear I’m using a Berserker’s Greatsword, a Knight’s Rifle, Full Knight’s armor with Soldier Runes for condition removal on my 2 shouts, and Full berserker’s trinkets.

I’m kinda torn as what to use for my 3rd utility skill. Right now I’m juggling alternating banners and Frenzy.

My base stats with this build are:

2038 Power
1811 Precision
1531 Toughness (2742 armor)
1081 Vitality

47% Crit Chance
60 crit damage (69% when greatsword is equipped)

I’ve yet to really give the build too much of a try, but does it seem like something that could work well in a dungeon setting?

EDIT: Build link should work now

Ya I would think that’s pretty good stat balancing.

I would also just say be careful around to many mobs at once.

This link sends me to a empty build. Still, I say it should be viable still the healing signet is worthless at high end content. Not only does it heals very little per tick compared to the amount of damage you be taking but it also has the lowest active heal of all.

Healing banners are a viable option in dungeons if you spec into them, my personally build atm is more of a buff stacking build for WvW and dungeons what not. works wonders in an all around way. Pulls 13 – 15k HB damage in pve.

offtopic.
would like to see more videos from you. your twitch seems inactive.

@Deutero

I’ve been taking a break from streaming for this primary reason:

I hate playing GS, its tacky and tunnel vision minded.

Unfortunately for my paid tPvP team Hammer wasn’t enough in the current meta form of ‘Bunker or Burst’.

So I’ve been playing GS against my own will in order to be more competitive. And I assumed it was something my user base preferred to not see due to the proliferation of GS players on twitch.

I’ll throw up a stream or two today and see peoples reaction.

You’ve joined the dark side, Defektive.

Never wanted to but I’m a sucker for winning.

well.. just stream it.
tbh, what i want to see is not what weapon you use, i want to see how you handle the game, player, mind trick.
that’s what separate bad, average and good player.
sometimes when i watch your video, “oh! i can do that?” came up.
so thx for giving me tips while you not aware of it. lol

oh lol, ya I’ll stream in about an hr half. have a few errands to take care of.
