Guild Wars 2

Hi, just hit lvl 80, and I would like to deck my warrior out in exotic gear, but I had a couple of questions. I hear that viper’s gear is the best for condi warrior, but I believe it is harder to come by? Is this because it is exclusively ascended gear? In which case, what sort of exotic gear should I get? I was thinking marauder’s looked correct because of the condition damage, precision and power. And lastly, I’m unsure about what runes and sigils I should be using. I’ve looked it up online but having a bit of trouble confirming the information and reading different things, so I thought I’d ask in the forums.

Marauders doesn’t have condition damage

So you can get an exotic viper gear box from the HoT story mission “Bitter Harvest” once per character, otherwise you have to craft it.

By crafting you will need to make 6 insignias which cost around 13g each. Unless you are desperate to change to condi warrior (for raids its essential, fractals not as much) I would highly recommenced doing T4 fractals daily to get ascended chests then using the insignias to stat swap the ascended gear instead.

You can use full berserker gear instead in the meantime which you can get for free by doing sPvP or WvW reward tracks and getting Arah dungeon tokens, you can also do the 3 paths of Arah for 80+60+60 tokens once per day and also you can complete the dungeon frequenter achievement (repeatable) doing 8 different paths for 150 tokens of your choice.

Though I’m unsure what you are crafting a condition build for as you haven’t specified, marauders gear is power/precision/vitality/ferocity which is only useful for thing such as theif WvW or PvE solo build and other situations outside of party compositions e.t.c.

If you are looking at doing fractals/raids with your warrior and want to take the more sought after build which is cPS (condition phalanx strength) you will also need to do the Caudecus’s Manor dungeon to get Aristocracy runes which are the optimal and essential rune if you want to be able to provide your party with might and fulfil your role as cPS.

Here are the builds you are looking at for party composition:

Condition DPS (less sought after) – https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Berserker_-_DPS_Condition

Itz Jay.8941 thank you so much I really appreciate the information youve provided cheers.

To specify, yeah, I wouldnt mind eventually trying raiding. So the cPS build is what I think I’ll be aiming for, and the viper set. Not sure how I got it into my head that Marauder’s was condition based, must have miss read something.

The stats you thought were for Marauder are actually for Sinister. Viper’s better, if you can swing it.

No problem just geared my warrior for cPS so knew I could help. Follow the metabuild completely you’ll want to take sinister boots and a sinister ring otherwise you’ll waste extra condition duration going above 100%.

For the rings and backpiece do the bloodstone fen map so you can swap the stats on rings in future.

For the earrings you’ll either need one from ember bay and one from bitterfrost frontier as they are unique and you cant use two from the same map at once, or, you can earrings with sPvP ascended shards on season which are not unique so you can use two.
