Hey all,
Completed the Light up the Darkness achiev today with warrior and because I felt like the build I used was solid, and also because I don’t have anything better to do, I’d like to share
It’s pretty basic really. Phase 1 should be of no issue. After that her cripples were often the death of me. So my first thought was -cond duration food and dogged march, but didn’t really seem to work well enough for me. So I took another look and what do I see: Cleansing Ire. Just what I needed. Would need to make sure I have plenty of adrenaline to use my bursts skills though. How? Well, I came up with Berserker’s Might + Signet of Rage?! The strength gm trait that noone uses and the passive effect of signet of rage that noone uses combine excellently to give you enough adrenaline for using your burst whenever you get crippled. The bursting weapon of choice is Longbow, so you can cure cripple and damage her while running away from her. As for the other weapon, I personally used Axe/Shield but also doable should be GS or X/Shield. I recommend a shield though, so you can more easily pick a moment to lure one or multiple visions into the light.
Anywho, the end result:
Strength 30: III (nothing better), X (Nothing better), XII (!!)
Arms 10: II (!! Crucial swiftness obtained through this trait)
Defense 20: IV (?! If you tag a vision that then hits you, you instantly rez! The only time ever that this trait is good?!), IX (!!)
Tactics 0
Discipline 10: III (very good in general, but doesn’t work while wielding a Longbow)
(for your convenience: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_warrior_traits)
Heal skill: Healing Signet
Utilities: Endure pain, Signet of stamina, and Hidden Pistol (?! Nifty find by myself in my honest opinion. For those who aren’t Charr, I recommend Dolyak Signet or Fear Me).
Elite: Signet of Rage (passive only!?)
Gear: Full zerker, though I suppose condition build should work too.
Food: Lifesteal on crit, but choose +endurance regen if you reckon you need it.
That’s about it. Hope this can be of use to anyone, and good luck throwing those orbs ^^
