Guild Wars 2

I used to play 10hr+ in the pvp using simple greatsword burst build working around berserker power trait..

now i won’t complain about the changes but ever since the update it killed pretty much the only build i liked on warrior …

right away i tried to work around it and try some more builds … but it feels i can’t find anything that work good or at least compare to other classes …

up till today i play 1hour and log out becouse i feel bad and depresssed about it …
warrior is the only class i ever like, i have somthing in my brain that won’t allow me to pick magic type classes .. so i’d like to stay a warrior …

can anyone help me find a usefull working build to play please .. mostly i just spvp..
if you can bring greatsword to life for me i’ll be even more happy ..
i don’t like hammer builds, and i prefer to kill fast as possible..

*please do not offer me to change class becouse i recently started this game and invested everything for warrior and i don’t wanna start over too.

thanks in advance for those who feel me.

Just find a new game to play.

I feel you ! I myself have gone for a classic hambow (for now) because GS power builds have been nerfed a little bit since last update (mostly due to slow adrenaline build up and kittened up Arcing Slice, which not only is currently equal to what it was before in terms of damage, but is also bug for the damage are the same even if target is below the 50% threshold…).

Anyway, this is what I used as a GS build and it still works fine thanks to Cleansing Ire to build adrenaline up, unfortunately you won’t kill as fast as a full power GS build (but you gain survivability, and damage are still good) : http://intothemists.com/guides/4396-anas_tarcis_tpvp_warrior_meta_longbowgreatsword

Obviously, this is not my build, it is Anas Tarcis’ one, whom I consider a model

if you

prefer to kill fast as possible

then i’ve got a build that deals even more damage than before the patch
(i used to run a berserker’s power GS build too)

the catch is that my build is full zerker, it has very little utility and obviously dies faster than the usual 2 stance builds with cleansing ire/adrenal health,
but what it does have is 16k Hundred Blades and 6k arcing slice crits
obviously its intended for hotjoin, which is what i use it for.

BUILD if you’re interested
(note: this site doesn’t let you choose Assassin Amulet, which is what i’m currently running)

how to use the build (fairly obvious):
NEVER use the signets
only switch weapon to escape, with warrior sprint, block and GS whirl and rush you can escape from pretty much anything if the fight goes south.

so if hitting the heavy golem with a 16k hundred blades without any cooldowns sounds like a build for you, then have fun!
edit: if you’re lucky enough to be hitting enough targets to get 25 might stacks (which happens alot more than you’d think using this build) then you could get to see one of these 21k hundred blades (this was on the heavy golem too) XD

what the build you used to run ?

it could actually have a simply-ish fix:

make it so the +15% damage/crit bonus traits for full adrenaline have the side effect to slow down your adrenaline decay (stackable), it would go a long way, i think nobody ever complained about builds using those being too stronk in pvp.

not like anet will ever hear this however … :\

You mean if you prefer to be killed as fast as possible? Jeez. It might work in the occasional 1v1…

You meta clones are funny but I’ve been running the build since the patch and blending peoples faces, the adrenaline nerf is barely noticeable,
I’ll be playing the bold tonight too! Hope to run in to ya
But seriously, try it before you throw insults, its hellishly fun!

Sorry I can’t just take that seriously. You have no stability and no condiremoval at all. You use superior strength runes without having a real source of might except on GS crits, no sigil of battle or anything. You don’t have fast hands either. And you use 4 signets. And Bolas.

It might work awesome for you idk. But I’d die fast knowing my limits and having run like every kind of twisted build since beta.

I like your build Liewec, it’s similar to what ive been using before the patch …

but the trait you picked berserker power. why would i pick it nowdays.. you even say not to use that signets that give 30 adrenal which would make bit more sense to use for a burst….
but that is really bad pick if you ask me…

i tried to run signet mastery with dolyk for stability and that other signet that remove all condi, with bull strike for utility … that with dropping the 15% dmg from the adrenaline trait, which means my build lost 20% dmg due to nerf.

i tried your build, on the golems it works, but in real battle i barly get that adrenaline needed since with this build you burst and get away otherwise you just stand there to die…

i lost motivation to continue anyway … i just moved on to another game …..
enjoy hammerin forever fellow warrior lovers …. (._.)/)

I feel you, I’ve been playing less and less guild wars since my warrior was nerfed, and two of my other friends have felt the same. Mainly due to the amount of time put on our trophy class, and have no desire to shift all of a sudden and main another toon
