Guild Wars 2

No, not “How do I set all my skills to signets and then press 11111111111” I mean, how do so many of you play signet warrior? Warrior is mindless enough, how do you not fall asleep at your keyboard playing something so boring?

Quite Simple. you just ACTIVATE your signets.. like you are supposed to, just like any other utility.. also throw in some 2

Who plays signet warrior anymore? lol

And here we find the Superior Gamer in its natural habitat. It roams the forums puffing up its throat, using the display to intimidate others from their prey. Watch as they thrust around their dangling bits in disgust of people having badwrongfun.

I gave it a shot after patch. Signet Mastery is a fantastic trait now. With it you can maintain +500 precision, the benefits from active signets on cd (and passive otherwise), plus the oh so delicious unblockable for 6s whenever you hit any target below 50%… with no CD.

If Arms had more going for it, I’d have run it for longer. I was on a power build, but maybe on a hybrid? I dunno. But yeah, signets got some life breathed into them and the build can actually be fun now.

Just spam them off cd pretty much, you can easily get over 100% crit chance that way

You just need to press the signets as you do in every other class with signets. Signets have a active and a passive effect in all classes so you use them wisely.

The new signet trait is really powerful and most of the signets are good on warrior anyways. And if you are not activating your signets, you are doing something wrong.

Healing Signet – Everyone knows this is good and you can spam this when you are off fight to keep a couple of those nice precision stacks up all the time.

Dolyak Signet – With signet trait the cooldown is almost the same as Balanced stance. But this actually gives 10 stacks and when not used it gives toughness. I always favor this over balanced stance if I have signet trait

Signet of Fury – Situational skill. If you want to surprise your opponent, then this is your signet. Two level 3 bursts right after another is deadly sometimes.

Signet of Might – Situation skill as well. Good against Guardians and Engineers to go through those blocks.

Signet of Stamina – I prefer this over Berserker stance on most of my builds. Why? It’s a full condition cleanse and unlike Berserker stance it’s not easy to go around this one. The enemy has to deal a lot of conditions on me if it wants me to pop this and in that situation, the signet has done it’s job. Also that unrippable 50% endurance gain is also really good.

Signet of Rage – Lost some power with lower duration, but it’s still good elite skill for solo roaming in WvW.

And that Signet trait, oh man. You get signet of might procs every 15s if you hit an enemy below 50% HP. And that signet of might proc will also proc the precision stack so it’s really easy to maintain atleast 300+ precision in fights with the trait all the time.

PS. I find Stances way more mindless in usage than Signets. Stances after all are fire and forget skills that give you some sort of invulnerability with pretty long cooldowns.

Come, ill destroy your warrior with my signet necro while i faceroll on my keyboard.

Only reason signet necro beats a good war is cause u can rip our stability off instantly and the chain cc us to death

So? You’re still a Necro, and we are proud-kitten Warriors? Go play with your freakish pets shadow boy.

I read this in David Attenborough’s voice.

I actually have a signet condi build and u do not spam 1. U actually use ur signets

The trick is to play to fun music

One possible solution to play as signet warrior, from the perspectice of PvPer,

Basically you make your build tanky as hell. Then you will probably have no precision. Take signet mastery from arms and increase your prec like hell.

However, there is problem. You can only take stun or hybrid weapon but not full power weapon like GS due to there is no corresponding trait in master section of arms trait. anet need to change unsuspecting foe to generally work with all power type weapons like gs rather than only weapon that can make stun.

And its minor traits seem only working with condition or hybrid weapons.. especially bleeding

At this point, a signet build takes more thought to use than a stance build. Stance play is just a mind-numbing game of cooldown rotation.
