Guild Wars 2

Hello Warrior forum people. I am from the Mesmer forums. I love Mesmers, but I also love the Warrior class mainly because of their Healing Signet and Adrenal health. So you might be thinking this:

Just get out of this forum! You must be a troll from your background Mesmer history! And what you know about Warriors!

My Answer: I have changed, and besides, I will be going on my way to the Mesmer forums again after posting this build. Just curious to see what people’s comments is of this build.

Weapons
Longbow/Axe-Shield

I think of this weapon set as my fail safe feature. They correspond well together in the fact that each set protects the other. So lets say I used Longbow and was about to be overwhelmed, then I switch to Axe-Shield to gain some health from blocks, stun an enemy, and dish out insane damage. Upwards of up to 5k and beyond. That takes care of the situation most of the time for me. If the opposite happened and my Axe-Shield failed to be of use, then I just switch to Longbow for the Constant burn, Blind, and 3 seconds of immobile to catch my breath. Then the sequence continues until my opponent makes a mistake, or I finish the job.

Utilities
Healing Signet/Dolyak Signet/Signet of Stamina/Berserker Stance/Signet of Rage

Healing signet does 440 health gain passively

Dolyak Signet provides me insane armor and insta stun break

Signet of Stamina provides me 2 seconds faster dodge roll time and insta condi cleanse

Berserker stance provides immunity to condi and fast Endurance regen for better healing from Adrenal Health and one extra Burst skill.

Signet of Rage along with Lyssa runes is devastating(insta condi cleanse and all boons for 5 seconds. I love stability). With the Faster Signet CD trait, I have good use of all of my signets.

Traits
0/20/30/0/20

With this build, I have max use of all of my traits. 50% additional crit chance with stun allows for 100% Crit chance for Axe Burst skill. Which, like I said, makes the most of that burst weapon set (Axe-Shield) Also the 40 precision per signet is ideal for all of the signets that I possess.

Going 30 in Defense means Adrenal Health, and Defy pain. Which go along together very well. Also the faster cd on Shield is good for gaining health, and stunning enemies like crazy.

Going 20 Discipline allows for faster cd on Signets and immobile break when using dodge. The five second weapon swap is very well needed for the Fail Safe to work on my weapon sets to perfection.

Stats
Just look in the build Link. Lol

Comment below on anything. Really. Just remember. I am not gonna hang around the Warrior forum that often. Maybe twice a week or something. At the most. So don’t worry if you are feeling anxious about me intruding in these forums. Cheers and good luck on your Warrior journeys!

- From a Mesmer

Edit: Reason I went up to 800 for healing power is because Adrenal health’s true capabilities when compared with 300 healing and 800 healing is shown at lower Adrenaline bars.

Level 80 (300 healing And 800 healing)

1 bar: 170//// 243

2 bar: 285//// 360

Build Updated. Would have done this yesterday, but I just had to sleep. Much better effectiveness of build now I should think. I run this build in WvW and PvP.

Plz Comment on this build if you can. I want to run this build knowing that I did the best in my ability to try to improve it. And if I can improve it further by the knowledge of other Warriors, then the better.

EDit: oops, I forgot to transfer 10 traits over to discipline. Sorry for keep changing it. Im not myself in the mornings…

Hey, glad you enjoy the warrior.

Your choice of utilities is solid, as well as trait lines. Weapons are currently mainly a thing of preference (imho).
Regarding equipment choices:
1.) raising healing power for getting adren health up from 285 to 360? Thats 75 health more every 3s = 25 health/s. Not worth it, if you ask me.
2.) Cirt dmg not on accessories does not have a good stat/critdmg% trade off. so i would switch stats here. If you really need crit dmg on equipment, take it on shoulders/gloves/boots

So for 100% crit chance on Evis with shield bash, i would do it this way (without changing too much):
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAneTjkOBvpQGPMxBA0jrqarTBoUPsru2A-j0CBYgCiUIgkIBK5BN7RQMRKZVNFRjVTLQ6aYqYK12cFRrWKgIGGB-w
+150 power
+4% crit chance
+200 tough
+22% crit dmg
-800 health
-45 health/s regeneration (from both signet and trait)

well.. listing it this way shows, this are only minor changes. but i think its better this way.

Also the trait “Mobile strikes” feels a little wasted with this weapon set up. Maybe switch it with III “Warriors sprint”. “heightened focus” is not needed to crit with evi and can either be switched or items can be adjusted.

Dang, you are one good warrior. I know this just from you and my difference on the whole build outlook. Got a long way to go if I want to be as good as the rest of the skilled Warriors!.

I know this is sort of off topic on this build but I also am interested in Commander builds. Does anyone have a clue on what a Commander build looks like for warriors? One that is almost as useful as the Guardian Commando build if possible. Thanks a bunch really. Can’t ask for better help from you guys.

I would love to see a video of this sort of build in action. If either of you record something, can you post it here?

Please clarify that statement for me plz. Do you mean the commando build or the build that me and Kickbit tried to improve?

Edit: Also, thanks Kickbit! I have updated the build so it is much more effective. I think you showed me that having that much healing power isn’t the ideal way for a Healing Signet/Adrenal Health build. Thanks a bunch! Really.
