Guild Wars 2

If you are feeling bored with Warrior in PvP try these builds!. Here are a few of my builds that I found myself enjoying. These builds work in SoloQ, Team Tournaments, Hotjoin, and in PvE (with different armor customizations of course but if you want more info on that PM me ). This is the first build. Criticism is welcome.

This build is based off of a previous build I had with a few tweaks to make it more forgiving. It’s more like a user friendly build than what I usually run. This build brings damage and survivability in the form of limited condition removal, dodges, and stun. The axe is the best weapon, in my opinion, for raw damage. The offhand axe is for hitting groups of enemies and is effective at either
a.) Holding a point
b.) Damaging grouped enemies whom are reviving their allies
c.) Or you just want to look cool.

Hammer provides team support in the form of AoE stun and knockback, with a single target knockdown (if a high damaging elementalist or thief are attacking your team).

Here is my original build http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQRAnZ5cjcO9upQyOMxBAUBsMPGKoiUPs7u4A-TwAg0CnIKSVkrITRyisFNKY9xOkpFA

This build excels at
a.) single target lockdown in the form of Mace burst
b.) single to multiple target massive cleave damage in the form of Eviscerate, auto chain on axe, single target knockdown to set up your various other damage with offhand mace #5.
c.) Damage, damage, and yet MORE damage with Impale+Rip, reflects in the form of blocks #2 and *5 from your second weapon swap, and of course the axe.

This build is less user friendly, however, as it has NO stability, NO damage mitigation save dodges, and stun. And little condition removal in the form of Runes of Lyssa.

And since obligated to make a build that DOESN’T have an axe in it here is one more.

I actually made this one up on the spot so don’t gripe at me if it doesn’t work.
I found this idea hilarious in that most people know what a warrior is based on their weapon set right? Seeing a warrior rush at you with two swords and a bow makes them think you are condition. But this build excels at damage, with having excellent armor as well. This build(in theory) would excel at
a.) AoE pressure on points via Longbow burst
b.) Guaranteed condition removal via Longbow burst
c.) near permanent fury thanks to fury on immobilize which allows for my favorite elite, Rampage.
d.) good sustained damage and burst damage, coupled with control thanks to two immobilizes, AND you have Savage Leap for mobility in escaping, or going into fights.

Please feel free to comment on any of these. Make your own suggestions, or tell any experiences you’ve had using these builds. I would enjoy the chat.

Edit: For the third utility skill on my third build. Possibly consider changing out Signet of Fury for Banner of Precision? Just an afterthought.

Here are three more builds I made for the lolz.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJARSjcOFv1Q+OMxBAMjvqyo4HguMgiJA-ToAA1CqIwRhjDHDOScs4MsY9B
This build uses the greatsword and hammer. This setup effectively gives you
1.) Mobility
2.) Team support in the form of AoE stuns and knockbacks.
3.) Raw damage with greatsword and chain CC damage with hammer.
4.) Complicated combo for setting up 100 blades that will make you feel so good.

So how to use this build? Simple this is more of a roamer build effective at getting from place to place and holding points. If you are quick enough you can pop Frenzy, use Earthshaker, and Hundred blades the whole kitten enemy team! disclaimer if you cannot 100 blades lol the entire enemy team I am not responsible. Other than that neat little combo you can kill the enemy and, if you are smart, not die (though I am sure most of you will change the heal to Healing Signet).

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAU8encOU8YUQ2QwEZAAzwrquMgaJlC7uD-TsAg0CnIKSVkrITRyisFNKYZx+DAI felt like making a REAL warrior. What I mean is a Warrior using sword and shield, the rifle is just a bonus. This build gives you limited mobility, with burst damage in the form of Kill Shot and Final Thrust. If you want to set up kill shot, don’t. In my opinion the best way to land Kill Shot is to snipe off point at an unsuspecting enemy player. Then use savage leap and get into the fight to finish them off. You have range pressure with Volley and Kill Shot, and close quarters damage with the sword. (P.S. use Shield Bash to set up Final Thrust).

And finally http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJAUTjkOxwpQ2QMxBE0DNsKyiLjAcJ0HwDA-ToAA0CqIKSVkrITRyisFNKY9B

I remember messing around with an “All range Warrior” build a few months ago and enjoyed it. But now with with some recent patches under my belt I decided to give it another go. This build is (obviously) meant to stay at range, keeping AoE fire on points, and pressuring individuals with rifle. This is more of an attrition build. Stay at a distance and fire away, if anyone comes near you you won’t die. Just knock em’ back with the rifle and plug away. The Longbow is good for control and pressure on points(as mentioned above). Unfortunately I am running out of time so see you kitties in the Mists!

I’m bumping this so my friends can see it :P

I wanted to revamp an old love of mine, which I used before crazy buffs:

If you like to play as a juggernaut, this build works for you.

If you want all those puny hambows to just cower in fear in front of all your mighty sword autoattacks, this build is for you. Yeah, don’t be fooled by those tiny numbers: with bleeding, first two strikes deal 1-1.5 k damage each. That’s pretty brutal for skills such as these.

If you’d rather go BRÜTAL, instead of simply brutal, you can go for might stacking (2 Hoelbrak, 2 Strength, 2 Fire), Use sigil of Battle instead of Fire and add For Great Justice! in place of Signet of Stamina. Moar bleedz, moar damage. I warn you, though, you’ll have a harder time reaching 20 stacks. But you luse on spike from sigil of fire, which can’t be nice.

If you don’t want to use cleansing Ire, this build is for you.

This is more similar to those old Hammer/sword build seen some time ago. Just tougher. Healing Signet can be swapped for healing surge, even if sometimes a spirit ranger deserves to be smashed into the ground without even denting your hp.

And then if you are just batkitten insane, here is what you need:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJARTjcOxwJPqQMxBAjifA68AKmaSfwOA-ToAg0CnICSpjTHTQycs5MsYZB

It’s beastly in teamfight, as long as don’t focus you, or on side roaming if the enemy is unaware.

Why is this insane? Because you are going full glass, no defense whatsoever. This would mean you go on full burst, but instead you play on sustained damage. Which is crazy damage (3k autoattack on softer opponents), but still you’ll need to stay in the heat of battle for long.

And 100 blades will be awesome to turn that blasted guardian who wanted to ress into sushi.XD

Both builds look very nice indeed. I actually tried my own theory crafted build in WvW (build number 4) and with my current set of gear (mix of knights,zerk, and cavalier) I was pretty OP. I had 3.3K power, 3.2K armor, 60-70% crit damage with 60% crit chance, The numbers were pretty dang good and all this without food buffs. Me and a fellow warrior in my guild took out 6 people by ourselves. It was quite hilarious xD. But yeah your builds look like a lot of fun I’ll have to try them myself sometime.

I am kind of disappointed that no one has put up any builds recently. I would like this to become a source of current builds and experimentation. As well as a place to share experiences. So please Warriors share your thoughts I would enjoy reading your stories.
