Guild Wars 2

I would like to easily be able to do PvE, WvW and Dungeons without having to reset my trait points at level 80.
I don’t mind switching weapons or skills for the different occasions, I just don’t want to have to reset my traits consistently since I like to do a bit of everything spontaneously
I’m looking for something with a fair share of survivability and damage output
Any suggestions?

I am not experienced with linking builds so i cant help there. I run 0-20-20-30-0 with vigourous shouts and 3 shout utlilities. I use hammer/rifle in PvE, Dungeons. Hammer/longbow in WvWvW. I use all Power/toughness/vitality gear w Soilder runes.

I have yet to find anything better for overall gameplay. Yes there is better dps and such, but I find dps overrated in this game. When your on your back not only are you not doing any dps niether is the guy rezzing you.

Also I do switch out the hammer for sword/horn in circumstances and switch the major traits, but leave the 0-20-20-30-0 overall.

Azarul, what tactics do you use for your arms tree? oportunist seems really synergistic with “3” hammer, 20% rifle is great for boss fights, unsuspecting foe for extra dps, furious speed and vuln stacking are tempting but, is it worth a slot? i always run hammer/rifle, any hints is appreciated, thanks!

I keep my Tank Build fairly consistent it works for most things. Mind I haven’t tried it in WvW because my computer is too crap.

That is my PvE build. Sometimes I switch out the sword for a shield, and Merciless Hammer for either Sundering Mace or Shield Master for the harder bosses in my alt weapons.
PvP I focus in Mace/Sword alone, and switch Battle Roar to Shake it Off. Switch Merciless Hammer to Sundering Mace and Defy Pain to Spiked Armor.

When I go Dungeoneering is when I want to switch it up a bit more to be more Banner Focused and hide behind a shield most of the time.
I like banners but they aren’t mobile enough to be used anywhere else.

This is what I’m usually running some variation of (copy/paste it)

3rd utility often I run bulls charge in WvW for another movement ability. With this I can easily swap between my sword/x + longbow build to a GS + Longbow, or GS + Sword/Horn, Rifle + X, etc builds. So far it works fairly well for everything I do (which is really only dungeons and WvW. I practically live in WvW). I went with pack because with that I basically have perma swiftness which is nigh mandatory to keep up with other classes that have it on demand, signet of stamina for perma vigor (ish) like other classes can do (also MASS condi removal), warhorn for condi maintenance and weakness.

I run P/V/T armor and carrion stats on my accessories which gives me a nice stat spread. I find bleed duration is crap to build for as condi removal is rampant so i just want my condis to hit hard while they’re up. Fire on my sword because earth was redundant and having aoe damage is awesome, hydromancy is personal preference (deals 650 ish aoe damage along with the chill).

Oh and the reason I run with extra adren on critical strikes should be pretty explanatory but when fast hands WORKS it allows me to flurry at 1 bar and rotate out to longbow for aoe fire with full 3 bars, rotate again 5 secs later for another flurry and sword rotation etc. It’s very very very much a “fast weapon swap” based build and the fast hands trait bug irritates the holy hell out of me. : /
Anyways, it’s working for me besides the problems warrior condi builds have in general but until ANet comments on that…. whatever, I make do out of stubborness basically. Oh and using a sword MH and a longbow instead of a GS or Hammer will really illuminate the level of crazy people have when they say warriors are OP because you’ll be scratching your head and thinking BULL KITTEN!
