Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

first off, this is my first try at the builder, so forgive me if i made any mistakes. Second, i’ve been trying out my warrior and wanted it to be different then common berserker builds.

My goal is to have a more tanky mobile warrior, with more hp, able to dispell any conditions on a weapon swap and with trait sigil (if needed) , and dish out some serious damage without needing to resort to constant dodging.

My choice went with valkyrie for the added vitality, meaning more hp for surviving several hits or condition stacks, runes of hoelbrak for the might increase and duration, and oc the reduction in condition duration. The jewelry i went with are the berserkers, just to keep my dmg high enuf (its more then my zerk ranger).

This is a PvE build, and i don’t PvP, so i have no idea how well it would fare in pvp.

So far, it has been working quite well, especially in silverwastes where mobs apply conditions or lock you.

I chose GS as my main weapon and Hammer as my second. Why hammer ? Backbreaker and staggering blow for when you’re in a pinch, combined with my merciless hammer trait it dishes out some very good dmg and allows me enough time to either retreat a bit or switch to GS again. Also, the weapon swap cleanses any condition on me.

(p.s. : hammer 5 → 4 → GS 5 → 2, is a great combo)

I chose warriors sprint as a trait because i need/want the speed increase.

Any idea’s / thoughts are welcomed. Don’t suggest going full zerk, i already got that covered on my ranger.

• Dont ask for advice and then say but don’t give me good advice. There is a bbig difference in HP and Armor between a zerk ranger and a zerk warrior.

A. U don’t do any condition damage so you dont use condi weapons. Pecices strikes and Condi sigils do not constitute as condi damage when 99% of your dammage is physical. with this build.

B. Warrior and Necros already have the highest Health Pool in the game and you don’t need Vitality.

C. Hammers are bad in PVE because PVE mobs have defiance and cannont be controlled with hard CC.

D. Most PVE mobs dont do enough condition dammage to kill you. You are using holebrak runes I guess they are OK alternative to Str runes but your build doesnt stack any might to take advantage of might duration.

E. If you want to do some condi dammage without being a condi build and have some utility like CC. That use a Long bow. You have a immobilize CC and a blind you also do buringing and bleeding. And you can combo in your own fiefield to stack might. To take advantage of hoel brak runes.

F. Use forceful great sword trait. Since you are using a great sword. And you have hoelbrak runes. To take advantage of might stacking. It should be pretty obvious but I guess its not.

G. Signet master is better than warrior sprint. You have higher DPS up time and higher swiftness up time. You dont need to run faster you have mobility skills with the GS and with forcefull GS trait they cool down faster.

F. Use berserker armor.

G. Use Healing signet bcuz its better than healing surge and if you trait for signets it gives you 40 precision. More DPS better survive.

H. If you want condi removal. Either use Brawlers recovery, or a traited warhorn.

J. Without changing your build.. BTW your choice of gear is not optimal. Sorry I have to say it. I am trying to help you though. I wouldn’t try to re-invent the wheel. I know there is a desire to be differnt but things are the way they are becasue people already tried to be differnt and game is 3 years old. There are good reasons things are the way they are. And just to be differn’t isn’t always a better reason. I will try to help your build though without changing it.

Either do this. And use the sigils I said I makes up for you having Valkyrie gear with low precision.

Or somthing like this if you think you need condi removal.
