Guild Wars 2

What’s some tricks that we should learn when playing Warrior?

Only the experience can make you able to learn some tricks. In pve you almost don’t need tricks, only some dodges, endure pain and a good dps build (GS + Axe/mace build can be good, fo example).
In www and spvp it’s only the experience that can teach you ho to use your skills against all the classes and builds.
Cleansing Ire is always a good trait to obtain and you can not be forced to use it only if you have a good team, if you’re in www zerk with a lot of guardians or you want to try the new Discipline Master Trait that clean a condition every time you swap weapons (1 every 5 sec), expecially if you add to it shake it off or the warhorn trait.
But Cleansing Ire is a very good way to clean conditions and obtain Adrenaline, that’s because 90% od PvP warriors use it.

In every situations (PvE and PvP) you need to obtain Adrenaline and recharge fast your bars to active your powerfull class skills (F1 skills).
In pve you can do that using the Axe trait on Discipline and with Cleansing Ire. In PvP you can combine the elite signet with cleansing ire and Berserker Stance. And if you want (expecially in www) you can use the axe trait with the axe skill 5 (in a zerg you hit hard and recharge 3 bars in 2 sec).

At last: in PvE you have to be a DPS, nothing more (and no one want a bunker warrior, only a fast killer), in WWW you can be a good support with healing shouts (traited) and cleaning warhorn (traited), or be a very good bunker, a 1shotkill with the Rifle F1 skill (expecially with berserker build), a condition class, a CC class with Phisical utility and Hammer (very good for zerg) or a hybrid (the warrior is a good and versatile class for www). At last in sPvP you can be what you want: dps, bunker, CC class, Condition class (very good with the last meta), Celestial.

But remember: if you play in sPvP you Need Always to use the Longbow! because of it’s very big Firefield (combo might and Burn) and because if you use Cleansing Ire you can clean 3 conditions, also if you don’t hit your enemy because it’s a Field Maker skill and if you make a Field the skill work, then the combo work. That’s because almost every warrior in spvp use longbow.

Then, there’s a lot of sites where you can find good builds for every role you want to play, in PvE (exping od Dungeons) or PvP (WWW and sPvP).

Stow Weapon.

/15 chars

Dodge roll on people.

Here’s a cool little trick. If you are fighting a guardian and they use shelter they will be blocking during their heal. If you have 1 point in the strength tree and a sigil of doom you can use reckless dodge to apply that poison during the heal since reckless dodge is unblockable.

Reckless dodge can also proc fire and air sigils for a crazy burst that is pretty funny.

Reflect while blocking can stealth you if the ranger shoots your shield with number 3.

If you use sigil of intelligence on a hammer pared with merciless hammer and use rampage. The damage is insane.

The sword F1 can be canceled after the immobilize is applied and you still get the full duration.

If you use brawlers recovery rampage counts as a weapon swap and will remove a condition.

Sword 2 can be used from an elevation and if you swap weapons mid leap you will travel further.

Use heal sig above water and another heal below water for a quick burst heal if you need it.

Rampage can be used on land and if you have signet of rage on your water set the signet will not be on cool down.

Warriors get the most chicks.

I’m sure there are more but I’m typing this on the phone at work. I will add more if I think of some.

Key bind stow weapon
Flurry can be cancelled for just the immobolize
Don’t use auto target so u can use mobile skills freely like sword 2 gs 5 and bulls
And if u wvw there’s lots of places u can reach using sword 2 like someone mentioned like the hill down to the wall at red keep, lots of places in blue keep like that hole in the wall by the grub and the top of the hill by ogres to the harpies nest area
And once again stow weapon

Edit and I just found out that some newbie warriors did not know that u can cast shouts without interrupting skills….

Tremor hits twice in melee range. The first hit is a melee attack and the second is the knockdown wave, so you can use this to clear blind and still knock down the opponent. Or you could just use it for the extra DPS.

Eviscerate has a much larger range than its animation suggests, both forward and sideways. This can be used in a couple of interesting ways, like hitting a thief in Shadow Refuge. Just aim the Eviscerate near the middle of SR and it should hit the thief (provided you aren’t blinded and the thief doesn’t dodge) even if he’s at the furthest edge of SR. This should deal a fatal blow to the thief since SR is usually used in an emergency.

Savage Leap often hits the opponent even if you leap past it without targeting it. You can use this to reposition yourself behind the opponent while still dealing a bit of damage. Also, if you’re using the skill for out-of-combat mobility, try not to use it when a mob is in front of you. Even if you leap over the mob, you’ll still hit it and be placed in combat speed.

With Signet of Fury or any skill that gives you adrenaline out-of-combat, you can use Earthshaker to make precise jumps in jumping puzzles (much like the engi’s Jump Shot)

This should be common knowledge but Shield Bash is a leap finisher, despite not looking like one. As an axe/shield warrior, one thing I like to do in groups is to use Shield Bash through a smoke field (make sure not to hit anyone or you’ll get revealed), which gives me three seconds to position myself and hit someone with an Eviscerate from stealth.

Tsunami Slash (Spear #5) is a great skill to use underwater for mobility. Every warrior should know this but I’m including it just in case.

This is more of a mindgame than a trick, but as a hammer/GS warrior, something you can do is pretend like you’re in trouble and kite away from the enemy. While he’s chasing you, look behind you and anticipate where the opponent will be, then use Earthshaker. Oftentimes the opponent will not expect this (since you’re running in the opposite direction) and will be hit by it.

Actually you can hit people with it and still get the stealth. Shield bash and Savage leap give the stealth after the hit so you won’t get revealed even if you hit someone with the skill. Useful as you can shield bash someone, he assumes you do Evis, you wait a second and do it from stealth after the enemy has dodged :P

Super Wilson.7408:

Two things I do not understand. Why does it do insane damage?

Also what is the relevance of stow weapon?

Stow weapon interrupts your attack immediately. Priceless for using with long-winded attack animations like the longbow and hammer #5 skills, to bait a dodge from the enemy and only getting a couple seconds cooldown instead of the full one.
