I’ve been trying to get dust of my warrior and remembered something I used to run in the post-d/d meta. It is basically a hybrid warrior, built for massive condition damage while also having decent power damage. Currently have 2 versions:
- sword/shield & bow: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAT8enMdAlkiVhAehAElillA7IAEB6dv32gbxVJKU8aCA-TphAQBf4CA4hDCAM2fAAPAAIWGoDHBAA
- axe/shield & bow: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAT3enMdAlkiVhAehAElillATJKU8aCHBgIQv792GcLuA-TphAQBf4CA4hDCAM2fAAPAAIWGoDHBAA
I have been fairly successful, mostly in teamfights where warrior isn’t usually focused. I was actually able to down druids, scrappers, but only with careful planning of condi burst after they use their condi cleanse.
I am a bit torn over axe or sword. Axe has better synergy with power (I think, could be wrong) since eviscerate can hit for like 5k, but sword has much better mobility and more condi damage. Tips?
Edit: You should probably know that I am not a warrior main, neither do I play ranked. I just want to have a build that works and most importantly, is fun.

Between those two, sword by a mile. Sure, axe works better with power… but you have no precision or ferocity in your build, so the direct damage between the two weapons’ auto isn’t that much but the sword piles on way more bleeding. Evis is nice, but Final Thrust does almost as much damage to people below 50% and it cleaves.

I’d also recommend changing your Arms traits to this:

Sure, you don’t have a great crit chance to take advantage of some of those benefits, but you’ll get Fury every time you strike someone below 25% damage (which will happen reasonably often) and when you enter Primal State, this will give you +150 condi damage and it’ll also increase your chance of triggering Furious for a little extra condi damage and adrenaline. You could use the extra adren building given you’ve selected two other traits what put a 2.75s cd on your primal bursts.

The Arms traits you had selected weren’t doing much for you.

Finally, try experimenting with the Viper (preferred) or Sinister amulets to see whether or not you can handle losing the toughness and vitality. Your damage will go way up. Then experiment with a mace and a torch instead of the bow to see if you like that.
