Hello guys,
i’m back on my warrior from a long time and now there are a lot of changes made from anet which make that class really interesting (more than before).
This is my new build and i really appreciate if you can help me to improve it; every comment (costructive) is well accepted.
please notice that build editor isn’t update and this is my trait build:
30 -> III – IX – XI
0 ->
10 -> III
0 ->
30 -> III – VIII – XII
the build:
that build isn’t a full zerker one as the most of warriors because i dont like to become butter and i tried to optimize damage while maintaining a good survivability and a good quantity of condition removal (i really hate condition … ).
wepon and utilities (synergy)
the main weapon is the Greatsword of course (my new and shyning zenith avenger -) because of its massive damage and great mobility but the main problem of this weapon is: you can’t use 100 blades as there isn’t a future because you will become a no sense dancing man inside a cinema studio (and no one like dancing man in that cinema studio…). So basically i’ve opted for longbow immobilize and the utility (bolas has a really low cd, 20sec, and a great immobilize, 5,25 sec with traits) which mean that if you pop up your singet of rage and balance stance (or someone in your party give you stability in order to avoid any kind of obstruction) you can literally kitten 2 people every 20 seconds… not bad i think.
Traits:
i choose those traits in order to maximize damage of course but also to provide a good movement speed (also 38 sec of swiftness some times aren’t enough) a good condition removal (from stances mainly and heal) and a cheap 5% power as vitality (i dont know if build editor calculates it correctly but with 2800 power, with full bloodlust stacks, you get 1400 more hp) and the extra toughness can help us a bit to resist better
problems i’ve encountered:
of course this is a great build (i’m kidding xD) but it has some problems and i’m trying to resolve them, please help me if you know something.
1) damage: the damage is surely big… because this is a warrior but against full knight/soldier enemies it drops very fast (infact i need more than a 100b to kill them, or maybe also more than 2 o.O). Usually in wvw i hit for 10k 100b (10k is the minimum, against for exemple full soldier/knight enemies).
2) fury: i know we can get perma fury but i don’t know if i can exchange my stances for shouts and put on maybe rune of sanctuary… i don’t think that makes the difference because without food my crit chance is 50.71% + 3% (build editor isn’t update and shows 12% crit chance with 3 stacks while now it’s 15%). So i do a crit every 2 attacks… which is not bad and even without fury…
3) tank or not to tank: i’ve tryied to make my char really tough but i ’m not sure that 19.7k hp and 25% less damage (28% while over 90% hp) can really make me tough… on my guardian i have 14.8k hp and 30% damage reduction and i can manage damages really good… but these are two different things.
Conclusion:
this is the build, i’m waiting for your suggestions and improvements while i’m still working on a soldier build with shouts ofc and on a full zerker armored build (only zerker and toughness).
thank you
ps: sorry for grammar :<
