So I have a male charr warrior, and i just LOVE the greatsword. Reason A being hundred blades and the whirling thing (skill 3) do a ton of damage. Reason B being that they just look epic, and suit charrs well. But, I also use the warhorn and axe combo as my alt hand, mainly for the speed buff from warhorn. The thing is tho is that there is NO ranged in this combo. I know that I’m keeping greatsword, so i have to switch my second set for either a rifle or a longbow… If i do that tho, ill lose the warhorn, which helps me get around MUCH faster. I thought maybe i would have a “3rd set” which i wold keep in my inventory, but i tried that and the first time i accidentally scrapped it with a salvage kit, (dumb move). the second time, I managed not to scrap it after the first five mins, but its a hassle trying to switch from longbow to horn/axe combo constantly. Can someone please help? Do the warriors have some kind of signet of speed i don’t know about? Thanks.
We have Warrior’s Sprint (Discipline Adept III). And GS have good mobility skills, #3 and 5.
About the 3rd set in inventory, you need to pay attention when salvaging. Have weapons with uncommon icons helps a lot.

I don’t think skill 3 does much as far as mobility goes, tho….
Furious Speed is 10sec of swift on crit (100% chance) on a 10sec icd. In transit, I combine that with signet and just shoot critters. So long as it crits I get the 10sec swift.

rifle wins easily while it’s true that warriors are not the master of ranged by any means the rifle is just so good yet is so often ignored and some hate it so that they are willing to kick just for using it.
allow me to explain why this is one of the BEST weapon combos for the gs for pve anyway.
you can use skill 4 which gives rather decent lasting stacks of vuln (I think around a 15 sec cd too) + on my mark gives another 10 that’s 18 stacks of vult now how much damage does 100 blades do to something with 18 stacks of vuln >=)
100 blades on cd well you got volley which will out damage any gs skill minus 100 blades. if you want too you can even combo kill shot (but that will likely reduce your overall damage) for potential damage that hits higher then a 100 blades. ofc you will need to regain adreline constantly and your dps will take a bit of a minor hit but that does’t change fact it hurts and can substitute for the gs’s poor burst skill.
The rifle is very single-target compared to the bow. This winds up being okay as usually you would want to switch to a ranged weapon when fighting a single powerful entity, such as a champion or other boss type thing, that might be a bit more than you can handle in melee range.
Aesthetically, the Charr look a little… silly, to me, with a bow. I just don’t understand how they aren’t constantly snapping the thing with their giant bear-claws. Pyre Fierceshot must’ve been a pretty kitten good archer to get around that handicap.

traits can grant rifle pircing but you would have to go an extra 10 to get both it and forceful greatsword or pick either or (obviously if you use a grandmaster you lose beserker’s however)
you would still generate a form of aoe damage but it would also be a little less then other wise.

Bows don’t pierce at all so it’s a worth trade off imo. Rifles don’t have the aoe that bows have but they certainly have more single target damage.

i’ve used both weapon with diff sets. for pve i can not think of a way the rifle is not a superior complement to the gs. pvp i’ve been thinking of trying for a pindown into a 100 blades seeing how that works although untested.
although using the rilfe for what ever reasons upsets people who play to the point you may get either kicked or they leave. which can be rather infuriating but that’s how it is.
People often say its bow over rifle, but I like the rifle more. You have the skill 2 to slow a mob and with good positioning its sometimes enough to make him eat the whole gs2, i LOVE r4 since it gives high vulnerability, and the r5 helps if you need interrupt, the only problem is the knocback… if they removed the knockback it would be better.
As for aoe, traited it gets piercing so shooting into a group affects more mobs (r4 shines here) and you can always use signet of flame which will proc pretty often if you are zerker.
I usualy go r2 – 4, gs4 -5 – 2 – 3.
And rifle trait is also sharing line with greatsword.

I always figured the rifle 5 knock back was good since it makes the cycle start all over again X D. one of our lowest cds too.
