Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

Im looking for some advice since im relatively still a newer player. Ive been playing for 3ish weeks and I have been loving my warrior. I have tried the glass cannon greatsword and duel axe builds and recently ive switched to a full tough/vit build with ac armor and hammer. Ive not loved the dps obviously but the survivability has been very nice.

What I wanted to ask is if any1 has tried a hybrid build. I love the greatsword, especially with fractals out now i want to up my dps. I was thinking of running full ac gear with ac greatsword and then specing my traits from vit/tough to a mix of pwr/tough/prec to up my dps while still keeping some survivability. what are your thoughts and thanks.

I actually use this setup for pve and wvw and it puts out solid damage while being relatively hard to put down.

With full “knight’s” armour and weapons and “berserker’s” trinket slots it sits at about

2850 power
49 (54 with sigil)% crit chance
52% crit damage
2700 toughness
23k health

Basically you can maintain perma fury through your utilities, 10+ stacks of might through weapon swapping and heavy condition removal and bonus healing with your shouts. It is a pure melee setup though which isn’t everyone’s thing plus some bosses really do need a ranged weapon. You can always swap out the axe/shield for a rifle though in these situations so it’s not crippling. Also with the high crit chance omnomberry pies will go a long way to extending your survivability while adding more precision to help your damage along.

0/30/0/30/10 can be decent. Or I guess 10/20/0/30/10 or 10/30/0/30/0. Warhorn condition removal, shout heals, damage buff from boons. Runed to increase your boon/boons of choice, or remove conditions on shouting as well. Nice with a mainhand sword and a rifle for stuff you don’t want to get close to, since they both use the precision line. FGJ and SoR gives permanent might/fury and SoR plus warhorn gives permanent swiftness without having to use the warhorn on every single recharge (since it’s also for conditions).

On the other hand, something like 0/30/30/0/10 with Valkyrie could work out nice. Defence traits could be adrenaline on hit, stability on knockdown (etc) and retaliation on critical or endure pain on 25% health.

With knight’s, something similar with shifted stats a bit, like 30/0/30/0/10 (axes!) or 20/0/30/0/20 for better critical damage/chance (adrenaline dmg and crit traits, plus axe critical dmg and signet recharge for SoR and the condi removal signet if you want).

Your build sounds interesting to me and it fits my needs for wvw, but the link isn’t working.
