Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, another week, another guide and this week it’s all about learning how to stun-t with your Warrior. Using this build you can keep a target locked down for quite some time whilst doing a lot of damage to them. You have almost no adrenaline downtime and the only thing that can really stop your stun chain is a well timed stun break/blind/evade/stability pop or a slight miscalculation on your part.
It’s a good build for winning 1v1s against all kinds of classes and it’s also a good build for stalling on a point till your friends take a different point or come to help you. Take a look at the build below and check out the guide above.

Very interesting build. Like the combination of Unsuspecting Foe, Sharpened Axes, and Burst Mastery.

Any tips on landing Earthshaker and Backbreaker? Seemed like you didn’t get dodged, blinded, or interrupted very much.

Pretty similar to the build I posted like a June 25th or 26th… with a few changes. I did eventually switch from 0 0 30 10 30 to 0 10 30 0 30 and experimented with a lot of weapon sets. It is the second post in the thread below.

I decided I prefered 0 20 20 0 30 M/Sh GS eventually, also decided I prefer soldier amulet most of the time. Also, Defektive has been running an offhand axe build for a while now, that his friend created I believe. Though, I think that one is Mace/Shield Sword/Axe. I definitely see more potential in Defektive’s version.

For landing Backbreaker, it’s all about timing and a bit of luck. People rarely pay attention in team fights and tend to waste dodges a lot more so doing it there is easy but in a 1v1 you’ll have to dodge cancel Backbreaker and use Hammershock as a fake out because Hammershock and Backbreaker have similar starting animations. For landing Earthshaker, I usually use it after a minor CC like Pommel Bash or Staggering Blow (99.9% success rate when used after Staggering Blow).
Not getting interrupted or blinded just comes from the 20 seconds of stability and Beserker stance. After those wear off, you’ll have to really dock and weave to land your blows. I try to spam autoattack as much as possible when I’m blinded and when I see the blind is gone I then push for an attack.

Can I get a link to the Mace/Shield Double Axe build please? I’d like to take a look.

Try swapping to Soldier+zerk ammy. Since you’re taking full advantage of unsuspecting foe anyways a bit more survivability would do wonders. I really like the concept of your build.

I do that all the time, I just like Zerks because I do more damage to bunker-y targets.
