December 10 patch (SPvP build)

Give that a whirl. I’ve been using this for a couple of months now and had great success with it.
Your main damage comes from whirlwind, arcing shot, and if you can land a pindown on your target you can get most of a 100b on them. Bullcharge→Rush→(swap)arcing shot is also a nice bursty combo. 100b is also still amazing for pressure on downed bodies while your teammates stomp to negate a res.
Combustive shot gives you some condi-AoE over a node and also cleanses condis off yourself if your signet or rage and zerk stance are down. You also have some nice defensive capability with the whirlwind evasion, blinding shot, and sigil of energy on your bow for the extra dodge if needed. Also having GS means you have great mobility to get around the map in a flash to help your teammates, backcap, or pull away from a fight if it’s a lost cause.

use your brains,make your own build,not play whole server exactly same build as it is now.
The above build seems solid, but I would use Healing Surge instead of Signet. What makes the Signet good with Hammer or Mace is the fact that you’re stunning so frequently that it makes the regen more effective. Without that, a power build can overwhelm you fairly easily. It’s still up to preference but I like a big burst heal when running DPS.
Also, if you’re using Lyssa runes you’re missing out on the bonus boon on heal with the Signet seeing as you’ll never use it.

I run something with a lot more evasion, but also the swords ability to disengage makes healing sig still the most viable option IMO.
Also very keen to try the new healing skill, though it’ll have to be pretty special to replace HS.
It’ll be interesting to see how well Lyssa synergises with defiant stance though, that buff could be a hinderence instead of a help.

This seems like a fun build but I’m also still pretty new to the game. I was under the impression that have a warrior that did a lot of bleeds or “conditions?” was the way to go.
Don’t you lose a great deal of that by not putting any points into Arms?

My build is not a condition build, it’s a burst build, and no build is really “the way to go”. If you get comfortable enough with classes, you can do well with any build. I personally find condition builds to be lacking since the pressure feels so weak due to having only 2-3 conditions, and its easily countered against anyone with lots of condi removal.

I can see Sword/X + Longbow still being a strong option.
A more offense focused version
Yea, healing surge does give a bit more synergy and it also means you can be more aggresive right out of the gate since you can go into a fight with full adrenaline, I just used healing signet for some longevity in teamfights but it can go either way.
A lot of people seem to forget that each of the warriors condition applications is extremely strong. The best way to kill someone running a lot of condi cleanse is to only apply one of your conditions between each cleanse and after the second or third cleanse youll still have about 10k worth of damage in condis on the person. Also dont forget youre constantly spamming combustive shot. Theres not enough condi cleanse to stop a well timed condi warrior.
