Guild Wars 2

I’m looking for builds that does not lack damage while having decent survivability/mobility and doesn’t rely on conditions. Preferably that uses a shield and is viable in WvW, dungeons, and maybe fractals. Please include armor/accessories stats/runes & a link to the build on a calculator. Thanks in advance. :)

oh, and I hope the title is not confusing. :/

i don’t know of any warrior builds that rely on conditions, granted i can’t claim to know every warrior build.

now i’m going to make some assumptions here. you are lv 80. you have a full set of soldiers gear, a full set of knight’s gear and a full set of zerkers gear.

wear the knights armor, use the other set of your choice for your jewels. zerkers if you want more burst or soldiers if you want more survivability. (soldiers is better)

do this for WvW 10/30/20/10/0.
strength – death from above
arms – furious reaction, blade master, last chance
defense – missile deflection, last stand
tactics – stronger bowstrings

now for your utilities you want; bolas, balanced stance, signet of stamina, signet of rage

let me break down really quick how this build works. you are there to distract and support your team. you aren’t a zerg member, you are a hit squad tank. with signet of rage and savage leap off of your sword you are going to be at the front of whatever 6 man squad you are in. long story short you are going to be pretty mobile.

mobility is what this build is all about. namely the theft there of from your opponents. you savage leap onto opponents and hamstring them/flurry them/bola them, pinning shot them/ shield bash them. abuse your superior mobility, i’ve killed zerker HB warriors this way before without ever taking a single hit by just chaining immobilize and standing behind them as they flail helplessly. (works great for thieves too)

when taking a camp you can take enough hits to gather the entire camp on you at once while your allies kill them, under shield stance you can also walk away from this at a pretty high health.

when fighting thieves (seriously this build is made to kill thieves) nothing is more fun then watching a ranged thief kill themselves on unload spamming. immobilizing a backstab thief and chaining the immobilize into their death. because of bleeding you can usually see them again before they even render back in because of the bleed ticks. against dagger storm thieves just get right up on them and immobilize them with flurry and watch them melt as they are unable to do anything because of their own dagger storm. against pistol dagger thieves don’t even worry about them, a knights soldier hybrid warrior is way to tanky for them to ever take down with burst. just savage leap away with signet of rage and leave them in the dust to cry at their own impotence.

Sweet thanks, though I didn’t know immobilize goes through stability. What healing skill should I use? I really don’t think I would be using the longbow often so I tweeked some of the traits.

S-10 BersPower
A-20 FurReaction, BladeMaster
D-20 MissReflect, LastStand
T-0
D-20 War’sSprint, MobileStrikes

Im enjoying one of Defektives builds

Scroll down to axe/mace | sword shield.

I am still using soldier runes and have endure pain as well, its a fun build.

warriors sprint isn’t actually all that good of a trait. it only boosts your speed by 10%

the reason you take [death from above] over [berserker’s power] is because of the nature of WvW having lots of drop points. the fall damage reduction opens up a lot more avenues of travel as well as serving as an incredibly potent defensive tool.

the main reason you would spec into discipline is for the burst damage and fast hands minor trait. this build isn’t about burst damage, its about sustained damage and control. if it works for you then that is fine but a lot of the kill potential of this build is found in the trait [last chance] which lets you down someone quickly and then stomp them.

also i forgot, i’m using healing surge. one of the best heals in the game.
