Guild Wars 2

Hell, even too fragile. At times it doesn’t take 5 seconds for me to get downed. Is it because I play Condition Dmg Berserker?

My armor is POWER, Precision, Ferocity
Trinkets are CONDITION DAMAGE, Power, Precision.

Ehh, don’t know what more to add, I’ve been returning to this game multiple times but I feel lost every time…

Usually it’s best to go or power or condition.. but ther’s not the point.
If you feel fragile just change build!

The most tanky warrior’s Open World build I’ve tried (while wearing full berserker gear) it’s a Strength/Defense/Discipline with Greatsword and it’s pretty durable.

For organized PvE isn’t performing but for Open World it’s great!

Well if my trinkets weren’t ascended then maybe I could but I think it’s too late now.

Which Mode are you referring to? WvW? PvE?

For WvW, I would recommend full Dire/Trailblazers, though I am no expert on condi specific builds. I wouldn’t mix match like you are, and if your new to the game, the toughness and vitality is going to help immensely.

If you are going for power build, I would run Berserkers armor, and Marauder if you can afford it. Of course this is all dependent on what you are going for.

From a PvE perspective, someone else should weigh in, but generally classes pump as much damage as possible and use active damage mitigation to survive. I think your armor/trinket choices are a bit weird though.

There is always MetaBattle.com to get a general idea or starting point.

No, I’m not new. I have 650 hours on my warrior but even after playing for so long I feel like a beginner because I could never find a place where I could do proper research and look at specific builds.
Back when the berserker spec was released I thought that it was all about mixing condition damage, crit chance and physical damage that’s why my gear is so “weird”.

You can run a hybrid build, but you’re probably better off with carrion gear or something than the mix you’re running. It gives you two primary damaging attributes for your hybrid, plus some vitality since you’re feeling vulnerable.

That said, even with your gear, try running def-disc-berserker s+sh/m+t. It’ll give you block/reflect on both sets, decent mobility, good cc, decent sustain (less now than before), etc. Your primary weapon sets can be used for both power and condi, though the only condi mace does is the berserker burst (but it’s strong).

RIP

A lil toughness can go a long way on war.

You’re probably too offensively spec’d. If you don’t grab things like the Defense trait line , blocks/evades, or defensive gear, you’re probably going to die pretty quickly, particularly in HoT/more recent Living World maps. A lot of people complained about the same thing when HoT launched, when really all that needed to happen was building a bit more defense into characters through gear and builds.

Also, regarding Ascended Trinkets: Would you rather have slightly higher DPS, or be alive?

We also need to know more about your current build. What are your weapon sets? Trait Lines? Utilities? These are all important components.

Get a few knights items

I’m having the same issues where I just feel really weak and cannot move around on my own and have to stick into groups. The content seems to favor ranged combat and AoE but that’s just my opinion from playing the game as if you get near any mob they just knock you back or down and then proceed to get wiped across the floor like nothing.

I’m thinking of switching to a ranged class in the game and see if it feels any better then playing melee but I will have to level it from scratch which will be a pain but I will survive.

Considering how disgusting I found trailblazer condi warrior in wvsw…..I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a tank build on the class. Not till rousing resilience gets removed anyways….that trait is just INSANE in wvsw.

Unless ur running full glass, ur gonna fall alseep using rousing resilience…..and how can you run full glass running defense trait-line? goood question, dont take defy pain i guess? lolz

You don’t need Ascended Trinkets: replace them with Power Exotic ones. The difference between ascended and exotic is next to non existing. Maybe you do 2% – 3% more dmg with full ascended gear and that’s it.
If you mix power gear with condi trinkets you will do way less dmg. Just play either power or condi. Add more vitality or toughness if you need more survivability.

Point 1: Well, warrior has Longbow. It’s a solid ranged weapon: in fact, it’s my favorite by far in the game.

Point 2: I play almost exclusively melee. Random dodging and a few short-cooldown stunbreaks/stability pretty much solve open world entirely.

With might makes right and defense trait line you can have high sustain when running greatsword or axe/shield (with a traited shield you can refill your endurance when blocking).

To regain the damage lost from the tanky traits run arms with a signet build, even more burst/heal/endurance/rage/everything

No need to stay ranged with godly endurance regen (also love signet)

full viper is glass cannon. medium power dps, high condi. near perma burn stacks.

in open world u have to kill before being killed.

when i have time i will make a video of how i roam in open world areas with more dangerous mobs like some HoT Zones.

How is it glass cannon? I found it way more solid than the pure Berserker. Healing is just so OP if you know when to pop it.

OP’s gear mix is just a waste, I see no point of having condition damage if you do not have any condition duration. We also do not know what weapons are being used by him.

In any way, Warrior is fine, the recent patch was a nice boost to condition damage and I am very satisfied overall (I play open world meta events/raids/fractals) – it’s always been like this MMOs, you gotta adapt to the changes – just craft your set of proper gear and roll with most up to date build. Such as here:

https://qtfy.eu/guildwars/warrior/condi-ps-quick-guide/

This build is a little bit off what I am using (I got full viper + malice/strength sigils + aristrocracy runes) but provides very proper information overall in regards to setup and rotation.

If you play open world only then just drop the Might of Justice/Banners and take Doylak/Endure Pain or other defensive skills which will make you way more durable (not that there’s need for them anyway).

Oddly enough, I felt really fragile with power warrior, but my mostly viper one feels ridiculously tanky despite having no defensive traits. I guess that that 40 toughness from my dire backpack is going a long, long way.

Obtaining ascended trinkets has become rather easy with HoT, just play some of the new maps, gather winterberries etc. and you’ll have new trinkets in no time

Sorry, I might have missed it, but which gamemode are you playing and do you plan on playing condi, power or a mix of both in the future (I know you’re playing a mix at the moment but do you want to continue that or are you open for a change?)? Might make it easier to give you specific advice.
