Guild Wars 2

Hi all.

I recently hit level 80 and I’m still very new to the game when it comes to knowing what traits to get and what gear to buy/obtain so I thought I would come to the forums to ask you.

At the moment I’m trying to get all the Karma I need to get the rest of the Heavy Aurora set I have the leg and shoulder pieces and Last night I just made myself the Knight’s Destroyer Greatsword my traits I went with 25 in arms, 30 in tactics and the remaining 15 in discipline. (with the traits I basically went on youtube and typed in tanky dps trait build and copied a guy from there)

Basically… What Trinkets should I get? also where can I get them? I’m trying to go for a tanky/dps build as I just want to get 100% map completion so I want to be able to tank a few monsters at once while dealing some nice damage. Same with Traits I really don’t know what to get so if anyone has any information about that it would be amazing, my second weapon in a longbow (Also I don’t mind getting gold to buy good items from the Black Market ect but I don’t want to use karma to buy them if possible as I want to save that to buy more of the Aurora Karma Set)

Thank you all

My favorite tank/dps build for me is a condition build.

Lots of condition damage gear comes with either toughness or vitality, as the crit gear is either full offense(Berserkers – Precision/power/crit damage)or less crit chance with some vitality(Valkyrie- Vitality/power/crit damage)

To make a crit damage warrior you need at least crit damage, crit chance, and prefferably some power. Though burst damage, Burst recharge, and damage increase stats(like sigils of force) are also nice. What this means is crit warriors can’t afford to stack as much of the tanky stats, without hurting their dps.

However condition warriors only really need condition damage to do damage. It helps to have lots of it, but other stats like vitality, toughness, and healing power can be thrown in. You can also get condition duration through food, look up Koi Cakes on the tp, they are dirt cheap.

I sometimes stack precision for crit chance as many sigils and traits proc conditions on critical hits, however this is not 100% necessary.

Other builds to look into would be hammer builds, or other builds that utilize CC like maybe some builds using maces, and shields.
