Guild Wars 2

Good Morning ^.^

Othos here and I am seeking some help. I usually play caster classes but, the warrior is something that has my attention at the moment. I want to make a tank and here is my general idea. Knights armor/Soldiers runes

Weapon choice. Sword and shield off hand is rifle.

Traits: Unknown I really do understand or how I should do my traits.

Utility Skills: I don’t know what works best for tanking.

What do you all think? Help is needed

Thanks.

sorry but i don’t want to sound rude but warrior is not a tank class and we don’t have a tank class here if you want a better class for mitigating damage better play a guardian.
warriors are design for dps and for anet marketing cheers

Noes =/ I don’t like the guardian though =/

You could somewhat Tank as a Warrior. With Mace/Shield and either Mace/Warhorn or Mace/Sword. Using the trait Inspiring Battle Standard/Healing Signet/Banner of Defense (for Battle Standard and extra toughness/vitality), Endure Pain, Signet of Stamina and either Warbanner to buff allies or Signet of Rage for your elite.

Traits would be something like 10/0/30/30/0. When I tried tanking liked Cleric’s gear for better regeneration effects. Can get about 215 with Healing Signet, 235 with Regeneration, 300 every 3 seconds with Adrenal Health.

You become pretty stout, however you have to sacrifice about 50-75% of your damage to gain all this survivability. Guardians do it even better. I personally think its better to go with what Warrior is best at which is killing things. But if you want to Tank this is how I’d do it, hope it helps

Hmm Thank you Grok I will try this idea out. Guardian class is not my cup of tea I mean I just don’t like them.

Guardian is ok, didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. They have less HP, but more armor, permanant protection, lots of different ways for healing, alot more blocks.

If the Tanking doens’t work out you could try be a group offense booster. Using For Great Justice/Banner of Strength/Banner of Discipline/Warbanner. Weapons would be Longbow and probably Axe/Warhorn.

Could drop Combustive Shot>Arcing Arrow>Banner’s>Warhorn 5 (might not be enough time for this one) for massive AoE Might while also giving roughly 90 seconds of Fury from the Warbanner. On top of all that giving 170 power/condition damage and 170 precision/15% crit damage. Best trait set up off the top of my head would be 20/10/0/30/10.

Taking V, X| VI | V, IX, XI | V

These ideas are for PvE I don’t know how they’d work in PvP because I don’t do it
