Guild Wars 2

Yeah I definitely already have auto-targetting off (as well as that option that makes you bump into other players) … didn’t realize the click on terrain would detarget though. Good to know – thx guys

I notice another little trick you pull in your videos where you are running away from people when you are near dead and using the camera to watch them behind you and then dodging backwards towards them. Is that just strictly to discombobulate them (omg I love that word)? I only watched some of one of those long videos but it’s pretty impressive how many times you only had a couple hundred health left, managed to escape and elude, get your heal off, go back and pwn face… awesome.

I am still using double click direction key for dodging which I think is really bad… I need to find a comfortable key for that…

will try this out for sure. I think I will change the warhorn for shield, to avoid some burst and take endure pain over stability. Gives a bit more surivability. Overall a nice idea to go with, and something different to all the GS-burst builds.

I do it if it’s around corner and stuff usually, since as an asura I’m small enough that they won’t notice it. It buys me a couple important seconds.

I finally got a chance to mess around with this build yesterday and had a lot of fun. I was surprised at how survivable I was without a shield. Part of it was properly using savage leap to gtfo when things got crazy but warhorn#4 and 5 were also very useful for staying alive.

Also, I had tried to play hammer previously and always had a really hard time landing the slow swinging control abilities but think that leg specialist is extremely important – hammer #3 is the perfect setup because its so much easier to land.

The first page says to use bull’s charge but I used frenzy instead (which I see you also used in some of your videos). Frenzy hammer #5, auto, #4, auto is pretty deadly.

Anyways, really enjoyed the build and need to find a better key for sheathing my weapon. Quite a different playstyle than typical GS builds.

This PvP build is still viable in the current Meta simply because it wasn’t affected by Frenzy. You can also probably work a banner in (for whatever reason) or Kick if you want to be goof around.

My tPvP Longbow build is also still viable since it didn’t focus on Frenzy nearly as hard as it does with Longbow:

Bumping this because:

New changes directly benefits this build even further. New 30pt disc talent just makes this stronger.

Recommend any Warrior whose still playing this game to give it a shot and report back (if you can, I’d appreciate it).

Hey Defektive.

Would you mind making both your builds, which seem quite nice, into proper links on a site like intothemists.com?

It’s just much faster when all the information is gathered in 1 place and guildhead links don’t show much at all. Plus the site is ugly. :P

Since Defektive is no longer playing, I doubt he really wants to spend the time doing that. Even if he was still playing, quite a lot of us like guildhead. If you’d like them on a different website, perhaps recreate them for your own use and bookmark it.

bumpety bump bump.

Just wanted to say been having a blast with this build (pun totally intended) to an even greater degree with our latest buffs. Really, give it a try.

Bump

I’m playing the skill floor edition right now:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAS5ejcOtuxOqQMRCEkCNkLOFUC1D74OijUBxA-TsAA1CnIMSZkzIjRSjsGNQYhw2CA

The idea is I can chain stuns infinetely. So I don’t have to worry about dodges.

Still, there are some enemies (bunkers, expecially elementalists and Rangers) that I can’t take down. But in group fights is nice.

What about using Axe instead of sword?

Need mobility for tPvP.

Ah…

Well, and I was just running around, spamming stuns

I’ll try sword instead of mace, even if I’ll have to be more careful.XD

Once you get used to spamming that immobolize on cooldown, you never go back.

soldier ammy/zerker rune?

Could you translate this build into a WvW build please?

Structure PvP items, I’m a HOTM player not a WvW PvPer. Sorry for the confusion.

grifflyman.8102:

Gear wise thats difficult to me, would appreciate any help from a more experienced WvW player in regards to transferring the build.

I would suggest shouts for condition removal. It might be better to go deeper into tactics line for vigorous shouts but this is what I’m looking at. Defektive hits on a lot of great traits to keep but I have noticed that a build that may not need to use shouts.

Negative this build can’t support shouts. Shouts don’t provide enough advantages for what they force you to take up.

Defektive.7283:

It almost feels like you went full on CC and damage. You have two options for condition removal which is your elite and signet. Other than that, you’re kittened for rapid stackers. This build may be solid for tpvp/spvp but conditions will melt you in WvW unless you’re roaming and killing stragglers.

I run a build very similair to this, except I run 10 in arms for Unsuspecting Foe instead of berserkers power.

Mix of knights armor w/ lyssa runes and cavalier/berserker trinkets/weps. I do a lot better with this than I did with Melandru/doged march/and lemongrass.

Warrs can be CC and high tough all day, but we need the dps, and this build can produce it, as well as wh#4 for curing cripple/chill/immob and stacking weakness.

I am a solo roamer and I’ve run this for a long time, I absolutely love it, it give sme the dmg, cc, self support and disengage options I need.

Plus lets face it, unless you’re zerg surfing the warr isn’t going to be able to take more than 1-2 good players at a time, so might as well bring the damage and leave the sustain at home.

If you want to further discuss this build, Defektive should update the links on the OP.

The calculator is more than outdated… Adrenal Reserves? That trait got removed months ago.

It’s not like it isn’t obvious which trait will be in that slot now.
It just doesn’t feel right

Updated w/ better link.

Also, I like to take the 10 pts out of pwr and grab quick breathing if I’m in a legitimate support role.

Hey, Defektive!

I’ve been running this build (or several variations on it, including but not limited to Axe/Shield, Sword/Shield, Axe/Horn, and Mace/Shield) for Team Thunderguard, under the name “Infinity Hammer”. I personally believe that Mace/Horn is the best combination for this, but Sword pushes this build’s mobility over the edge into viability.

PM me on my Warrior, Skryyk, and let’s talk buildcraft!

Hey Defektive,

Shamon here again Just wanted to say how happy I am with your build. I have been trying to fit hammer in somewhere as I really enjoy the weapon but I felt very slow and I didnt see the point of having a sword as it applies bleeding which the hammer traits dont synergise with. However, after playing with your build I have been able to get out of so many lost situations (using savage leap and warhorn skills) long enough to grab some HP and then “Earthshake” back onto point before its completely capped. Its a great build all round and if played correctly you can hold a point for quite a while if your holder gets downed.

Are you going to be coaching the “Class Team tourney” later in the month? Looks like fun so I put my name down

Also, cant wait to see the “ele” build you hinted at in another post. No idea what it could be!

Thanks for your contribution to keeping my warrior fun.

One last thing, the updated traits you posted don’t show anything

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQBgAApoKuMFKS9wu6iLVQMA

Must have been tired after the tournies!

Here is a link with the entire build.

It was around midnight when I got to it. Kinda rushed putting the traits up so it was done.

I’m glad you like it!

The build I’ve come to settling into is essentially completed. I had to revamp one of the weapon sets to fit the playstyle the team needed (I would classify it as Support Cleave). I’ll make a write up of it over the weekend for people to try.

Regarding the class tourny, yes I am a warrior coach along with my internet life partner K-Pop.

Brilliant, I will keep an eye out this weekend then.

I put my name down for the class tourney when I was level 32 but getting close to 35 now I hope I can get in but either way it will be fun to watch! I’m on Baruch Bay in Spain.

I am still using double click direction key for dodging which I think is really bad… I need to find a comfortable key for that…

I have my roll on my mouse button 4, its down the side and very easy to reach. First thing I did after checking out the roll mechanic was look for the best place for it. Double tapping can be fatal as you waste you rolls when you dont want to or roll off points just when you are about to cap

space bar is my preferred spot, took a bit to get used to as I swapped jump out to alt… I was dodging a lot when I wanted to jump over low ledges for a while, but my thumb’s always there anyways, might as well be doing something.
