Guild Wars 2

Hello guys I need some help on which weapons are best to use for a power warrior I know Power warriors aren’t great but I have a second character which will be for power warrior on standby until Anet decided to up the power warriors again to were both condi and power are about the same on dps and damage.

For the weapons for a while I gotten to the point that greatsword isn’t my forte atleast on a warrior just don’t like the playstyle on the warrior. Now I do like the sword and axe which I know that sword is best used for condi and that’s what I am using for my condi warrior now for power I want to use axe I love the playstyle of axe and I don’t care if they are great with damage or meta.

Know what I need help is what weapon to use for offhand for the power warrior for both dungeons and fractials also for solo runs for map roaming that includes maguuma and other max level maps added in HoT.

If you guys have a recommended build please add them any info is welcome to improve the power warrior.

Here is what I came up with: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRAnZ5enckC9dgdfA2eAElilfAz4BEAaAJNhlw2795Wd3uA-ThSBAB4pfgMlYDcQAA4EAclyDzUCSz+DUq6CFPBARVjgUABO1C-e

Note: this is for PvE. I don’t know enough about other game modes to suggest a build for them.

For your offhand weapon, I recommend mace. In 5-man content, vulnerability stacking is relevant and mace does a great job at that. It also gives you access to a small break on your dps set. Axe/mace actually used to be standard for warriors to use if there was another warrior in the party (this was before HoT).

A warrior has some of the best offensive buffing capabilities, and so I tried to make the build continue to bring those abilities. There are sigils of strength in the weapons so you can still stack might without the greatsword. I also included food and runes that help with might. I might have gone a little overboard with the might duration, but I can’t be sure without playtesting. You can try running dungeons without the food and see if the might uptime is still good.

It’s not the end of the world if you go full berserker gear instead of the few pieces of assassin’s, but you won’t hit 100% crit chance. I also assumed semi-optimal group comp (with you as the PS warrior), so if you don’t have Spotter from a ranger you’ll also drop below 100% crit chance.

I tried to make this build as good as possible with the restrictions you defined, but be aware that it performs strictly worse than its greatsword counterpart. You’ll do great in dungeons and low level fractals, but people would likely not welcome it in T4 fractals. Do NOT bring this into a raid.

Thanks for the info Fluffy yea for Fractals I will most likely use my Condi warrior since its most favored in HoT.

Once the Second Expansion releases or gets announced we will know what will change for the Warrior.

As for the build you linked its not working the site comes up but the build link is showing its empty with a tinted gray on the whole site can’t click anywere.
