Guild Wars 2

Just wondering what builds you guys are using for roaming. Any and all builds are welcome!

You’ve got 2 categories: power and condition

Then within those 2 you have several subcategories such as offensive condition, defensive condition, hybrid, berserker axe/GS, berserker hammer. There are TONS of viable roaming builds for warriors. So pick one and i can tell you more about it

Given how many conditional users there are these days, going any types of power build is not a good idea unless you are just that good (which you won’t be asking this question) or like to run a lot.

based on my experience as a D/D thief main, I disagree. I play both a power based thief and ele and do just fine. I also see plenty of power based warriors who also do great. I am only asking because I don’t know too much about warrior and I’d like to start playing one.

Is Gs Axe/shield still good? I used to play that and it was a lot of fun

The most popular WvW builds right now are GS/SW-WH and Hambow and both of them are power builds.

Roaming? GS/SW-WH is a running build, can’t kill anything and Hambow has no mobility. For wvw power roamer I would say probably hammer/GS or GS/LB or GS/axe-shield is more like it.

By the way I didn’t say they don’t exist, they are just weaker against condition builds. And there are too many of them around.

^check out this guys channel as i know he has several GS axe/Sh roaming vids

What’s the hybrid warrior build 0.o ?

Anything/GS basically. Not using GS means you will not be mobile, which is pretty much all the defense a warrior has in WvW.

Also, don’t use hambow in roaming. That build is stupidly weak in WvW (you know, cause of walking and all).

Basically because of the so unbalanced condi duration foods in wvw you can break free from the LB + CI spvp meta.

IMO warrior with Hammer + GS is most fun build in the whole game

This is true. Hammer/GS is such an oldschool warrior build, love it.

Mhmm…
