Guild Wars 2

heyho Folks,

just quit my engineer and now i wanna have anice WVW class
here is my Question-Barrage

1: is Warrior fun and valuable in WVW?
2: is the dual Mace spec(see the sPVP guide stickied) valuable in WVW?

3: What rune is perfect for WVW? (i want cheap ones – Lyssa is best but kitten expensive)

4: What type of Armor+Trinkets would you prefer for WVW? (maybe good old Zerker?)

5: I ve got a lvl 17 Mesmer 2 : would you prefer a Mesmer over a Warrior in WVW (would be a cond. shatter Mesmer)

thats it

1) Afaik all classes are fun in WvW? Valuable for what? Good front-line fighter/CCer, decent ranged sniper, got buffs/heals.
2) Please link the spec. Dual Mace is great if you wanna CC the enemy.
3) Again, depends on what you wanna do. Stun? Heal? DPS?
4) Again, depends on what you wanna do. Zerker if you go glass, otherwise knight’s.
5) I hate mesmers, Confusion and Shatter is a biotch.

Ok: I want to stun the Hell out of my Enemy and look nice (like Maces)
Thsim is the build I’m targeting (thanks to Golrdaer)

The Idea: get to enemy by Sword and apply bleed then switch to Mace and stun+make vulnerable + Massacre them (bleed+Vuln will give me big dps increase thanks to the Traits)

Anyone got an idea for a low budget Rune fitting this build 8lysssa is really expensive = 20g for 6 runes atm)

here is the guide:

Gotta love Golrdaer’s builds, any build of my own is at least partially based on his… and the spartan build is the only thing I generally bring to a tourny.

1) Yes, warriors are loads of fun in WvW… valuable? Well, I feel like I contribute to “breaking” the opposing line and also providing quite a bit of delay in siege defence.
2) I’m not huge on main hand mace… but that may just be me. Personally I think if you want to dish out a lot of CC the hammer is really where it’s at WvW wise just because of the AoE of earthshaker (buggy as it is).
3) Lyssa are great, but yeah, they’re freakin’ expensive. I personally am currently running Hoelbrak, Melandru however sound equally attractive. Vampirism and ogre also seem like viable options (or something like 4 Vamp, 2 Hoelbrak/Ogre?). Runes are as a whole highly debatable IMO.
4) At the moment I’m running soldiers armor with berserker jewlery… then soldiers for my sword/shield and berserker’s for the hammer. For those who would argue knight’s: while I agree that vit is less important than precision, it’s more usefull in WvW due to the amount of healing you’ll receive from team mates and power>precision in my mind
5) Mesmers are currently perhaps the most powerful class WvW wise (looking at both their team contribution inside and outside of combat and 1v1 ability). Fortunately their shatter exploit is apparently fixed now so we’ll see how the chips fall following this.
