Hi whats better for tanking ? a cleric warrior or a pvt warrior mainly for wvw and what does healing signet tick at if i was to go full cleric ? Sorry if this has been posted before .

What are you trying to tank?

Solider armor, cleric assecories, and cleric wep and solider wep. Healingsignet. 0,0,30,30,10. axe shield – never spend andrenaline + mango pie = win

I run a shout heal hammer
Soldier runes
Chest, legs, feet, amulet, 1 earing, 1 ring – clerics
Head, shoulders, hands, 1 earring, 1 ring – knights
Back, hammer – PVT. Back piece there wasn’t anything that I really found better for my needs.

You have a lot of HP as a warrior already and if you have shout healing, you’ll have points into vitality. I went with PvT for some extra oomph to my damage and I wanted the toughness. You don’t really need a lot of vitality on gear, toughness is better on a warrior because you have a pretty good HP pool already. Having the HP is good for conditions but if you build in condition removal, it isn’t really as important as negating direct damage because you have no access to protection.

You can swap out a ring and earing for zerker and should still be fine if you want to add a bit more oomp to your damage but that is if you have 30 points into the trait line for toughness(defense I think.)

If you run WvW and your group is organized one, then PVT. You need health pool to stay alive from beginning to the end of attack-regroup-blast heals cycle. And clerics is just plain bad for frontline.
