Is GreatSword/Rifle good in WvW
I don’t see a question here but if I treat the topic as one then yes.
nah, GS isnt great for WvW… if your using it its as a backup to a rifle as the primary in a glass cannon build or using it to move around the map quicker.
Hammer/longbow is the best combo imo for a warrior in WvW right now with knights armor, knights trinkets, and sup soldier runes. Longbow for the AOE and taking siege off of walls on offense, hammer for pushing the line in a ground battle.
GS is only useful in combat in an open area where your team already has momentum (a win more weapon thats good for farming kills but not really helping your team).
Rifle while useful on defense requires a glass cannon build, the recent buff to scorpion wires range should put a MAJOR crimp on this. A smart thief should be watching and planning on scorpion wireing any defender they see up on the walls kneeling. (after which since your glass cannon u go splat). Rifle may also be useful in open field battles but again like GS these battles tend to end shortly with 1 team running from the other and are a very small part of the siege based WvW.
Axe/warhorn as an alternative to the longbow or hammer to swap out with them is also somthing worth considering.
