Guild Wars 2

As the title states I’m new to the warrior class, but then again still new to GW2 in general as I’ve only been playing maybe 2 weeks.

My build I came up with is for a longbow/sword-horn, but I have been leaning towards Rifle/axe or sword-warhorn.

Was going for a high prec/pwr/crit dmg build was wondering if this would be any good for pve and maybe WvWvW (not sure if i wanna do WvWvW) and also is rifle or longbow better for prec/pwr/crit dmg build. Is a prec/pwr/crit dmg build even any good at all for warriors?

Also in general (warrior or any profession) should I not focus so much on using signets? I really like having the passives but sometimes i could be doing better with activated boosts.

First thing is that builds that are good for PvE are not so good for WvW. They are different animals.

Despite what some people will say, in PvE you can do almost anything and be successful; however, there are definitely better choices than others.

Looking at weapons, in general, the longbow is better than the rifle in almost all circumstances. The Sword is cool for mobility, but it’s really more of a condition (damage over time) weapon, power / prec / and crit are power based, so you’ll do better with an Axe.

regarding signets, 5 signet warriors are fine for a leveling build, but they aren’t the best at 80. Also, signets tend to be used for passively which can be boring.

My advice at this stage is to play around with lots of different things, see what you like. Respecing is very inexpensive.

Edit: just to explain PvE vs. WvW, in PvE you can be geared 100% offensively, in WvW you need a more defensive set up. WvW can be further divided into roaming builds (small groups) and zerg builds (large groups). Roaming builds are more focused on playstyle and synergy with your group. Zerg builds focus on not dying.
