Guild Wars 2

I finally made it to Diamond on my warrior soloq. I used two builds for my warrior, and occasionally played a necro towards the end of the division. (95% war, 5% necro)

This post is about saying goodbye to a new favorite warrior build I made when trying to get through ruby on him.

The build was all around useful, and I used it most games. Although I’d switch to a variant of zerker gun flame build when it looked like it would favor our team.

I am sad to see the soldier amulet go, as it was a fun amulet that I’ve enjoyed on a few builds. I’m looking forward to seeing what warrior builds are viable with the coming update, but going to miss my soldier lockzerker build. I think if any one profession has used the soldier amulet a lot over the years it would be warriors.

I’m done with pvp until the update, but I hope someone tries my build for fun. Just focus on holding points, decaping, protecting your squishies, quickness rez/stomp, and locking down enemies for kills.

Good luck out there fellow warriors, and I hope this new patch brings us some viable builds that aren’t stance/burst.

Cool. Imma ask some questions that anyone can answer I suppose:

-Do you ever activate signet of stamina or just always keep it for the passive?
- why sigil of energy on both weapon sets? the cd is shared and you have fast hands…doesn’t it make sense to get a different sigil for damage?
-Rune of the daredevil for warrior looks interesting. Would this be viable for say WvsW (small group fights)?
-does signet of stamina stack with vigor? so 50+50 = 100% when vigor is active?

What if u did signet of stamina + daredevil runes +sigil of energy? Then didn’t buy any precision at all. Keeping a crit rate as low as possible and relying on dodge rolls and maybe intelligence sigil for a ton of damage?

Cerby.1069:

-Do you ever activate signet of stamina or just always keep it for the passive?

I try to keep the passive for as long as possible, as avoiding conditions is better than cleansing them. However, when you have conditions, you have to make a choice on weather you use healing signet or signet of stamina. You learn which to use based on situations. I usually end up running when I pop healing signet, cause you lose all your real healing. Anyway, playing the build is the only way to see when these situations arise and how to face them.

- why sigil of energy on both weapon sets? the cd is shared and you have fast hands…doesn’t it make sense to get a different sigil for damage?

Honestly, even with fast hands, I don’t swap weapons every 5 seconds. I generally try and stay in hammer a lot, and switch to sword for the additional stun, block, burst or mobility. So it is nice to get some extra endurance when you swap. There is a good reason they are nerfing this sigil.

-Rune of the daredevil for warrior looks interesting. Would this be viable for say WvsW (small group fights)?

Rune of the daredevil is awesome for the build as people will often try and pressure the gunflame zerker. When you aren’t ready to get a kill (with the headbutt→gunflame→volley→final thrust) You’ll be able to dodge their focus fire, and retaliate with good damage. You should try your best to avoid stances until really needed, and the rune gives you that extra damage while you wait to go full ham. (with the above combo)

-does signet of stamina stack with vigor? so 50+50 = 100% when vigor is active?

No vigor doesn’t stack. But the build with signet doesn’t have much vigor access.

What if u did signet of stamina + daredevil runes +sigil of energy? Then didn’t buy any precision at all. Keeping a crit rate as low as possible and relying on dodge rolls and maybe intelligence sigil for a ton of damage?

I think it could work. You’d have to try it out. If you want to go that route, I suggest making sure you have some ferocity. I’m not sure on the other details of the build you are referring. Is it modifying the lockzerker or zerker gunflame?

Anyway, good luck, and I hope this helps.

It does, thanks.
