Guild Wars 2

So, I’ve been playing my warrior and enjoying it but I’m not sure what kind of stats I should be going for towards the endgame.

Right now I’m leaning towards sets with toughness on them because I’m a little squishy. I like the shield/axe combo but am looking for advice. I’m not concerned with doing tons of damage.

I use Axe/Shield for Pve and Rifle. Knights gear with a bit a vit in jewelry with rest zerkers. Cannot go wrong!

Berserker Armor + GS/Longbow for crazy burst damage

Cleric Armor + Hammer/Rifle for a good shout heal and tank

Only two I use for PvE and love em both. The shout heal is generally for dungeons and pvp, and the burst builds are good for general farming

Warrior already has outrageously high health, so toughness is really all you need. If you’re feeling too squishy then 30 points into the Vitality tree to get healing shouts or banners is the way to go.

To be honest Axe/Warhorn is a lot better, the main reason you’re using shield is the shield block, and while it feels cool it has a stupidly long CD, whereas warhorn can give you vigor so you can dodge more frequently (as well as applying this to the rest of your team.)

As a warrior, you should be concerned with doing tonnes of damage, it’s pretty much your only job. While you can balance yourself out to be a bit more supportive and defensive, damage should always be your priority. The best way to do this is to conform with every other warrior and use a GS with Furious Greatsword traited (you should be critical hitting with every hit as we have constant fury and through foodbuffs/maybe even sigils critical hits are a good way to heal). Use 100b, rack up some might, if they’re against a wall use WA too, or if you can collect enough hits on conveniently placed mobs, switch out to axe/warhorn as the axe auto attack blows the greatsword out of the water, as well as the warhorn playing its defensive roll as well as possibly reversing conditions which should be traited. This also means 5 seconds less weapon swap so you can change back to GS shortly after hundred blades comes off CD.

Hope I helped and good luck to you.

Can anyone recommend a good great sword build?

I use 20 30 0 0 20 for GS zerk
