Guild Wars 2

Hello all, so after playing/capping a couple of characters I feel like thrashing something with a large sword so…I turned to Warrior.

I have little to no idea what I’m doing with this WvW focused build. All I really know is that I want to use a Greatsword and have my second weapon set be more focused on defense/preservation. (Although I can’t say for sure after seeing Axes burst damage, how would solid is Axe+Shield?)

Anyway, the build

Any tips are welcomed, feel free to laugh at the utility choices. I’ll swap out the Banner Elite for the Signet one in super small/solo roaming, but anything more than that will call for the banner.

Thanks for the assistance/tips

Axe/Shield+GS is actually pretty popular right now. It won’t offer as much CC as Skullcracker/Hammer, but its fun and flexible in combat. Check it out if you like mainhand Axe.

Thanks for the builds, :P I don’t know if I can survive in full zerker’s though, but I’ll definitely look over the choices and what not.

There are many variations to these builds so tweak it to your playstyle. It probably won’t be a good idea going with Berserker right off the bat. Its what I’m trying to practice with and its very squishy. The X/Shield builds have a little more leeway since they can block with Shield and evade using GS. I forgot to change the armor for Hammer/GS which should be using Knights/Soldier armor + Berserker Trinkets.

If you do want extra toughness people typically use (Knights/Soldier) armor with Berserker trinkets. Everyone should have A full Berserker set for PvE so its good to make use of gear you already have. I’m not sure how much a difference it will be having Berserker armor + Soldier trinkets. Soldiers is slightly harder to work with than Knights due to the lack of precision so its common to see it used with Hammer + (Sigil of Intelligence) for guaranteed crits.

Playing a Warrior alt now.

I’ve tried gsword + rifle and its really boring, using Gsword2 and Gsword1, roll out abit, use rifle pew pew and back to gsword rinse and repeat.

Now, Gsword + Axe/Axe is REALLY fun, i call it “Meat Grinder”.
Gsword2, switch to Axe2 + Axe5 and back to gsword is devastating.
Only good for melee situations though.

Only good for melee situations against pve-players though.

Fixed.
