Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone. I have been playing the game since release. However my RL is pretty full and I don’t get much time for the game. Add that I had a hard time settling on a profession. I just hit level 30 with my warrior and am interested in a good dungeon build for my level.

I have been playing GS crit built but I understand it isn’t very helpful in a group setting. Also, I’ve kicked around the Sword/Axe bleed build as well, but I read that too many bleeds get pushed off a boss so I’m not sure that’s optimal either. I understand you can’t tank in a traditional since.

So yeah. any suggestions before I go find a dungeon group?

A lot of enemies choose their target based on proximity and toughness. So you can hold aggro a lot of the time. Though at level 30 tanking would be difficult. groups still need DPS. If your groups very DPS heavy just use some support utilities to even things out.

Ultimately play what you enjoy.

I’ve had the most success as a Banner focused Mace/Shield tank.
The biggest problem I have with Banners in PvE is that they aren’t very Mobile, but the fights in Dungeons are usually bigger and have higher stakes so banners do a lot of good.
And while you can’t take in a traditional way going mostly Vitality/Toughness helps a lot. Main hand mace has a counter attack, and the shield gives an ability that makes you practically immortal for a few seconds. Couple those two with timing your dodges and you’re golden.

But like Seren said do what you enjoy, this is just the kind of build I enjoy.
