I took a 4 month break so I don’t have a good build this patch, but I find myself struggling against dragonhunters. Are warriors still decent? If so, whats a good build right now that can deal with dragonhunters?
Yeah, warriors are better now than they were 4 months ago for sure. What’s the context where you’re trying to beat them? Duels, spvp, something else?
Also, do you know what they’re throwing at you? Is it heavy on traps, plus a longbow?
Yeah longbow and traps give me a hard time, but I also know that since Ive been gone I dont have a warrior/berserker build that is relevant xD got any builds?
Current DH are a pain to deal with, lots of blocks and stability. I don’t know how they fare against condition-heavy builds, but against power builds, they have enough to neutralize you long enough.
Given the high number of blocks being around in PvP these days, I’m currently experimenting with a power warrior using Arms/Defense/Discipline. There’s a good amount of critical hits, which gives some interesting damage – and Signet Mastery + Signet of Might can give some nasty surprises to many foes.

Caedmon has it right for that, then. By using a rifle, you can avoid walking through their traps and then you can use Signet of Might and Signet Mastery to ruin their projectile hate.
If I was building for that purpose (i.e. specifically for duels), I might pair the rifle with a+sh to provide some nice reflect for their longbow and a hard hitting, up close weapon in case they teleport to you. I’d go full scale damage, which means I’d personally opt for scholar runes.

Im liking rifle so far, ironically it still has the same issue, good against everything but DH lol. I forget which virtue it is on DH (the one that puts the shield up) nullifies the unblockable signet. Unblockable gunflame and it couldnt do any damage for the duration.
Hardcounter is rifle/gs – arms/disc/berserk with sig of might + signet mastery.Have fun being unblockable for 12 sec.
If you dont like losing def, you can drop disc but you might wanna grab rune of traveler then.
Whats the rune you use on that?
I run strength runes.
The build does take some practice,grab fury util aswell.Start off early with using fury to fill adren,autoattack a bit to get rid of his block and start bursting,use might util when needed.Kite Alot,only switch to gs when he jumps u,burst gs and whirl out,rush and take distance to swap back to rifle and burst again.

Another issue im having with rifle builds are that it turns also gs warriors into being a counter, perhaps trade the axe/shield for hammer?

You shouldnt be running axe/shield with rifle..Grab Gs.

gs+axe/shield vanilla doesn’t work well against competent dh trappers+lb even with an unblockable in ur stats. You have no range so u have to chase them into their traps, the cc and combination of condi and power dmg is gonna be too much if u can’t burst them. And you won’t be able to burst them if they kite u properly and use their pure invulnerability at the right time.
ranged weapons and/or berserker mode is needed (just cause it gives u longer reach on ur attacks).
I kill you in one gunflame, or I kill you in two.

Rifle allows you to play ranged, and to kite. So you need either GS, or Sword/Shield for mobility (sword leap, can also trait it for cd) but GS is better for more DPS/melee pressure.
Builds can be varied. Either vanilla killshot, or berserker for gunflame.
You can go Str/Arms/Disc for full or Str/Ams/Berserker for full zerker berserker mode. This is full disengage and play from the sides mode. If you get focused run. If you get chased (by a thief) its kill or die.
You can go Arms/Def/Disc or Arms/Def/Berserker. This will allow you to stick it out in a fight more. This is what I play, double might sig. Rifle/GS.
