Guild Wars 2

Hello there. i have a couple questions about warriors. Some about leveling and some about end game content. I only started playing 2 weeks ago, but i have had my account since beta.

1: Warrior spec?

- Many guides telling me to level with full signets, but that they start to fail around 60+. so should i start a pure damage build that i found on noxxic? or is there a better build guide that i should follow?

2: Warrior gear?

- Guides that i have read has lead me to wearing power/vit. When you get to 60, there is no power/prec/vit gear set that i have seen so i’m a bit confused on what gear i should run with.

3: Warrior Weapons?

-Also guides i have read is run with GS and Rifle. But end game guides tell me that axe/mace combo has the best over all DPS due to the auto attack being so great. So i don’t know what i should do still.

4: Warrior end game?

- How is it? I have seen a lot of forum posts about warriors being strong end game, but i have also heard a lot of rumors about all classes. I have also heard of some dungeon groups where you run 4 warriors and a mesmer (sounded like fun :P )

I also have noob questions towards other matter, but that will be in another post. if you are the type to help others, please look into the other post.

I appreciate the help that you will be able to give, because any insight will be nice. I don’t know much about that game. but i’m not a moron when it comes to mmo, i know how to do research :P – these are just questions that went unanswerd and unfound.

1. Signet builds are great for beginners. Whether you use your signets, or not, there’s a constant benefit. I leveled up with signets, but just realize it’s unlike other builds. It’ll take adjusting to switch to a non-signet build. Not a bad thing, just a heads up. The build I used leveling up is here:

2. Up until 90, whatever you can get your hands on should be fine. Don’t sweat your gear too much. Power, toughness, vitality are all good for leveling, but stats also depend on your weapons…

3. Whatever weapons you want to use while leveling are fine. Play with them all as you level up, see what you like best. Use those at 80. While some people will tell you there is only one build to play at 80, there are in fact several that are viable. And depending on what content you are doing, just about anything is viable. If you want to out-dps everyone in the group, there may only be one spec you can use. If you want to do more than enough dps, but not quite the most, the weapon choices are endless. I’ve used rifle since I could equip one, and greatsword for only about a month now. Still had fun since day one.

4. Warriors are just fine end game, and there are plenty of different builds to choose from. Very fun class to play, and very versatile.

Feel free to ask more questions here. S’what it’s for.

For solo exploring, signets are just fine.

Berserkers (Pow/Prec/Crit). If you want to do any PvE at all, better start getting used to it now rather than hold false hopes of keeping soldiers (Pow/Vit/Tough).

You will eventually come to a point where you will carry and feel comfortable with any weapon. How much you actually switch them up depending on situation depends on the degree to which you care about proficiency – some switch them all the time to keep the best performance, some couldnt be bothered and stay gs + ranged 24/7.

Thats a loaded question. Some claim warrior to be op, some claim him to be getting weaker lately, mostly depending on how much they pvp and how much they pve.

In pve, he is not the king of the damage dealers he used to be, and organized groups going mes + guard + 3 warr is a history, but he can still dish out relatively nice damage and he brings unique buffs that will, in random groups, leave you in high demand, even if another warrior is already present.

For pvp, he went from doormat to faceroll with a timely combination of over-buff and new exploits. The bugs getting fixed took something from him, but the emotions are dying down and it seems that warrior on top is here to stay.

Tl;dr: Warriors are op.

Edit: But if anyone from the balance team asks, we are poor and weak and struggling with the hell that is our everyday life.
