Guild Wars 2

I was close to calling it quits on the warrior because I was getting a weebit bored of a greatsword. So i thought to myself, “Wait, i forgot i can use swords.” So I popped 2 on and BEHOLD bleed damage. I love bleed damaging classes (professions) in every mmo.

Thankfully this has completely re-sparked my interested in the warrior and I can only imagine how much better it will be with traits and condition points!

in pve i gues it is fine but for Spvp , is bad choice, you cant stack over 15s of bleeding on a half decent player, they can remove all your stacks and you have no damage, or they can out dps and kill you before your conditons do any damage.

and the animation are fail

I definitely am!

true sword/sword is definitely a “PVE only” build. I think mace/mace and hammer are the better PvP choices. Longbow rocks in WvW though.

As a PvE build, Sword/Sword is great- especially when paired off with Rifle. (Both operate well with the same supporting spec and stats, and they both stack bleeds nice and high.)

I’ve been running it as an Arms build with a side of Discipline and (when there’s points to spare) Strength. There are higher damage and defense builds out there, but for me the versatility and control you get more than makes up for it. Add in the cheap-and-easy Kick and Throw Bolas skills, and combat only takes place where and how you want it.

Sword/Sword/Rifle works fine in PvP, optimal? No, but it’s doable. I ran it for awhile, focus on condition damage and defense. The goal is to outlast. You may want to save the OH Sword bleeds for slightly later in the fight, people will try and scrub the early bleeds. Once you see bleeds drop off, pop em and your burst skill and stack them right back up. If you’re fighting melee then swap to rifle, knockback and cripple. Kite while bleeds drain them.
