Guild Wars 2

This is a concept that has been done occasionally in the past, but the changes to Rapturing Smash have made the concept much more viable since it no longer hits like a wet noodle. There’s two versions to this gimmick: one fairly viable general use one, and another that will totally crush some builds and be completely useless against others.

The More Viable Version

The Completely Gimmicky Version

Alternate Super Gimmick

Not having Discipline is of course the biggest weakness of this build. In the more viable version, the Rune of the Lynx helps with the speed problem some. I tend to stick to Mace/Shield until I can use Berserk. Your mobility issues are less severe when you have the leap on Hammer consistently. Bull’s Charge also seems to finally be fairly consistent. This build is even funnier in WvW because of the existence of Perplexity runes.

In a big fight, the super gimmicky version is pretty funny. Having Wild Blow instead of Bull’s Charge can also be highly amusing and is also a good setup for Rapturing Smash.

Rune of Perplexity is nowhere near as good as it used to be. It used to proc confusion on interrupt. Now its on Heal use which is meh on warrior.

That’s a shame, but it was OP as hell when I last messed with it. Although, there’s some synergy with Mending to be had. Krait is probably better then.
