Guild Wars 2

I’m looking to recreate my sniper warrior into more of a “tank” build used by Commanders with a focus on being able to survive extensive amounts of punishment. I’m not so much concerned with overall damage as I am in being able to help the team and allow for the enemy to focus on me while the team does their job. Is there such a build that doesn’t kill the Warrior’s mobility?

If you have some suggestions, can you please post a link for me?

Thanks!

I use this build for your exact reasons:

Lots of survivability, and some utility for the team. I’ve started using a Greatsword as the off-weapon for mobility. I really enjoy this build, and have used it more than any other. WvW is 90% of what I do.

I had a fun 1v1 fight with it the other day, but it isn’t a solo build. This is kinda what you can expect:

I’m also on Tarnished Coast, so feel free to whisper me if I’m on.

Thanks for the help! This build is perfect.

there you go, don’t expect to do a lot of damage.

you will however be nearly un-catch able and un-kill able. when surrounded by a group you can provide lots of support in the form of boons, boon stripping and clutch rezzes.

Ok, the one problem I am having with these builds is trying to get the gear. Right now, outside of the Temple armor sets or running Asc Exp over and over (which nobody does anymore), getting the armor sets is a pain. The rings, etc are running about 30 gold when I checked last night.

Looks like it will be a bit of time before I can get geared up.

There are three places to get Soldier gear: Temples, dungeons and WvW.

Whatever you see on TP would probably be Sentinel gear, which is an entirely different thing.

You can get the temple set easily with a group of friends. The Melandru temple is probably the easiest to get. This last Saturday at 2 am all the temples were up too. Just wait till the weekend and you should be golden.

Those builds are pretty good. I run this:

It’s not really much different than the others. I have a warhorn in my inventory and will swap out my shield for the warhorn depending on situation.
