Guild Wars 2

Currently my warrior has finally hit level 80 and I am looking for a build to go with for WvW and PVE.
I have been trying to avoid Zerker as much as possible since that’s practically all i see is zerker warriors swinging greatswords around and then getting stomped by mobs in PVE and getting pounded in WvW.

I have been looking between the new Condition builds that have been floating around using Sword/Shield+Longbow or Sword/Sword+Longbow. I have also seen multiple builds using something similar where its Axe/Shield+Hammer where its more of a bunker power type.

I like the idea revolving around Dual Swords it just looks awesome but I feel the 5 skill on sword is still broken. It is a block but if canceled barely gives any adrenaline at all. The 4 skill now using torment does crazy damage against moving targets.

Axe/Shield being the typical Warrior I see they normally do heavy damage but I have only seen the serious damage from zerker builds which rather not run with one of those and get killed.

So Bunker Power build, or a condition build? Granted other classes are better at both but I feel that warriors are getting somewhere with this.

Im sorry but you cant go anything but GS in PvE, the plain aoe dmg it produces is unmatched in any of the other weapons. As for offhand you have a number of choices, MH mace is surprisingly powerful (if you go the whole chain), same with sword. However the vulnerability of the axe/mace is what keeps this as a goto for grouping (and mace 5 is just awesome).

For WvW and PvP its all about mobility and nothing else and you should select your skillset based on being mobile and keep being mobile (means condition cleansing is needed)

Why not both, bunker and condition build?

If you’re getting stomped by mobs in PvE it’s typically bad performance on your part or your groups. Some people kid themselves (‘zerker + terrible at dodging) but if you’re half decent with your dodge button it is the way to play. GS + Axe/Mace is the standard fare.

In WvW, ‘zerker ain’t going to help you. You can run a fairly balanced Hammer + stance build, a GS + sword/WH build (very good for escaping/chasing) or possibly a Sword/Mace + Mace/Shield stun build like mine (small group play; stun + root runners). WvW builds really depend on whether you’re playing ZvZ or 15vX.
