Earlier I had posted a bleed build that many people found effective. I was extremely pleased to hear that others were having success moving away from the cookie cutter GS builds.
I would like to do a quick shout out to my guild Coalition Gaming. I <3 these guys! http://CoalitionGaming.org
Today I bring you my newest concoction.
I currently use this as my primary build in sPvP.
Here is the TLDR:
2385 Power
1560 Precision
1406 Toughness
1245 Vitality
3414 Attack – This number gets boosted to about 3600 in-combat
35% Crit Chance – But this number really sits around 65% in-combat.
2617 Armor
21,662 HP
+20% crit damage
2 Stuns
2 Cripples
1 Gap closer
+ 33% Retaliation up time during a fight.
+Reflect incoming ranged attacks.
Please take a look at the thread, post your comments and discuss a different style of Warrior play!
I use the same weapon sets, but your armor runes arent the best choice and if i read correctly you use healing surge. So you have one condition removal every 25 seconds…goodluck with that.
A person’s heal is their own personal choice. I play with a lot of Guardians to the point where they are removing more than enough conditions for me. If you’re having problems with conditions then by all means make a choice and use Mending.
Also, I like the armor runes I’ve chosen because it provides alot more top end damage. This is needed because of how deep the build goes into Defense. Coupled with Dolyak signet, you don’t need to run as much additional toughness gear.
At this point I love any build that doesn’t swear by GS and am willing to give them a shake just based on that, this one looks real solid just in reading over it though.
If you don’t mind could you throw a quick link in this thread to your bleed build as well? I’m really interested in those as well at the moment, particularly the best in slot sigils and runes and stuff for it.
So is this axe/mace build good for PVE play as well in end game? Ive been leveling with axe/mace wep combo and its super fun. Havent chosen a 2nd weapon set yet tho.
I run a similar build (axe/mace and mace/shield). It works fine in hot join, but in tPvP you’re gonna end up roaming, so its probably better to either be full on CC with like hammer + mace/shield, or greatsword burst dps.
This is a solid build for 1v1ing and general sPvP hot join though.
Call me when this game gets fixed…. if it ever does….
i was using a similar build in pve/WvW without those sigils so i tried ur way in spvp and its definitly a awsome build.really defencive build but still hit pretty hard,nice CC,condition remouval etc.lack a litle of mobility but still awsome.
now my question is,if i use this build in pve/dungeon/WvW,how should i setup my sigils because 2 bloodlust in pve is a waste.should i do something like,bloodlust on hammer,fire on axe,might on weapon swap on mace or mabey just get another weapon i keep in my bag with a bloodlust on it and when i reach 25 stack,switch back to my other wep?give me your suggestion about what you think would be the best setup plz
p.s:for the one wondering is this build work in pve/WvW/dungeon,yes its really nice.axe/mace for a decent dps and some burst with evisceration,hammer for big aoe crowd controle and get a bow/rifle for some boss and WvW.the dmg is fine but the defencive ability is awsome.its a tank build with OK dmg but if you want to do big number (glass canon) not a build for you.
