Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’ve been playing builds with condition damage for offense for & evasion on d for so long I want a break. I want to dust off my warrior and charge into battle like a charr. So my question is:

Which can you feel the most epicly powerful with in wvw, hammer or greatsword? Details welcome.

Hammer is more fun but less damage, you certainly have the most effect on the battlefield with it

Lot of people will disagree but you decide. Something probably will happen in the 15th so just play with w/e you want..

@Schwahrheit my favorite part of that video was the boss battle theme from The Legend of Dragoon (greater RPG or greatest RPG?). Other than that it looked like any other GS warrior: Frenzy+100b on people too dumb to move away from a warrior with a GS.

WvW is a chaotic mess and most of the time people won’t have the stunbreaks to escape all your snares nor to health to survive any more than 2-3 hits from HB, if they even have the usual sPvP defensive options at all. You will land HB ganks all day without even trying.

That’s assuming their computer can even handle a WvW zerg at a rate faster than 10 FPS. If you just queue up Bull’s Rush > Frenzy and charge into a zerg your target will probably be dead before he’s even realized he’s taken damage. Then you can just pop Endure Pain and waltz out.

WvW balance is pretty lol like that.

Read the notes from the video. ANYONE WILL NORMALLY GET INTERRUPTED/DIE if they get focused like that, specially if glass cannon and under geared. But please analyze the video before you say anything. Because HB is still legit and my point is plays can be made around HB.

Like seriously though no one understands where I’m getting at? I purposely got myself focused by at least 4 people on the video. And you ARE NOT in a position to underestimate the DPS of 4 people.

TL;DR Just be open minded to the word “potential”

i’m not sure what the video actually means….. i mean i saw you walk in with shield stance up, then i saw you activate balanced stance and walk up to a guy, frenzy+endure pain + HB the guy and 2 guys walked INTO your HB then you whirl, leap and rush your way out? um…. i dunno am i missing something cuz this shows more of skill synergy than build advantage, or is that why you put sword/shield + GS potential, cuz you wanted to show off the potential of the weapon set, not much emphasis on the build itself?

Yeah that’s what I was getting at.

@Schwahrheit
The skills work nicely if you want to run into the middle of a zerg and burst some people down, but I’m not sure what it has to do with the actual build. You survived the focus because of Balanced Stance and Endure Pain. Either way the people were too distracted (or lagging) to move out of the way or wandered into the 100b. It’s entertaining but it’s not showing anything new.

@Kitai

Try doing that with Axe + Shield. I dare you. You will understand why its S/S + GS and not A/S + GS.

@Salt
It isn’t anything new obviously since Balanced Stance and Endure Pain has always been there. The better question is why can’t people understand that these two skills are a must have.
