Guild Wars 2

Hey people,

I’ve taken a long break from GW2 and I’m back and plan to stay a good while, my ‘main’ is a Warrior and well so far I’ve noticed if you’re not playing GS you’re doing it wrong. (I mostly roam in PvE and do the odd Fractal, once in a while i WvW where other weapons are more acceptable, but for this instance I’m talking about Dungeons/Fractals/The odd Exploration)
I ALWAYS have LB as my off weapon, but I really don’t enjoy GS, I hate standing still for #2, i always miss or fall of a cliff with #3, #4 is okay and #5 look like he might as well crawl on his hands and knees!

Who here mind telling me a decent build that is a dual wield playstlye I don’t want to lose the Movement speed from Discipline and I keep Tactics too for the Might sharing and improved LB, I keep swapping between Strength and Arms for when I use GS for fractals (as even tho I hate it, no other build seems to keep up with the damage) and then back to Arms for faster DW!!

Thanks for reading and I hope someone can help a DW lover out

Here’re some I’ve used that still can work. All of them have a PvP flair on them, but I’ve made sure work elsewhere. The best part? Runes + sigils are whatever unless I specify. Pick the ones you want. All of these need a way to build and let out adrenaline rather rapidly and/or consistantly, so keep that in mind.

Condition damage (straight up):
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=VyF7o;1NKVP0Y4gL-60;9;4efh;0158137157A

Can replace defense line, if good at avoiding damage. If done, recommend balanced stance -> endure pain change.

Throw fire field down, spin in it. Simple as that.

Condition damage (Half-n-half):
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=VyFBp;1NKVP0S4gL-60;9;4efh;0158137157u

Can replace defense line, if good at avoiding damage. If done, recommend balanced stance -> endure pain change.

This is the same as the full condi damage, but without spins and with more CC worked in.

Condition damage (turtle):
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=VyFwo;1NKVP0h4gL-60;9;4efh;0157037147c

Can replace defense line, if good at avoiding damage. If done, recommend balanced stance -> endure pain change.

Moved some stuff around. Little bit less condi cleanse for a little bit more hittin’ power. Not the most damaging thing in the world. Use those leaps in fire field.

Power damage (Straight up, with some CC utility):
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=Vy7Bp;1NKVP0T4gLkQ0;9;4dfh;0236137157b

Can replace defense line, if good at avoiding damage. If done, recommend balanced stance -> endure pain change.

Run in there, slam yourself up to max adrenaline, eviscerate and then auto-attack. Kick whenever it’s up. Mace 5 whenever it’s up. If you get a CC through they’re weakened. That’s group utility right there. Smash faces in with rampage.

Mixed damage (This is my boop build. Gets better with breakbars being released):
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=VyBCp;1NKVP0o-gLkQ0;9;4dfh;0237157157s

Defense line cannot be replaced.
Can switch cleansing ire for Last stand. Rousing resilience is bugged atm.
Distracting strikes puts out a ton of damage, but only if you can interrupt. Switch to ‘zerker strength if you can’t.
Signet of might can swap with bull’s charge as needed.
Requires some sort of ice applying sigil (or stuff runs away a lot).

CC foes into a corner and then stack an easy 25 vuln on them. Rampage to smash faces in. Stun and interrupt as much as you can. Interrupt > non-interrupt.

Recorded these highlights before the patch. Basically if you’re going to transition into a non-GS build, then be prepared to practice landing 1/2 seconds A LOT if you want something that puts something into the table team-wise.

Here you go OP, strongest non-GS build Ive been running (might change runes though) -

Perma cripple, weakness, and a 6.5s immob (land that and go to town with your hammer).

Where is the 6 second immobilize coming from? Did I miss something?

Is it Bull’s Charge combined with a hammer 5 with increased condi duration?
