you have to run a combo of distance and close range weapons since warriors weapons cant do both. For instance the longbow/rifle are not good weapons up close and the melee weapons are probably the worse base dmg in the game.
So to be effective you either need to run a mace/axe/sword with shield with longbow and go condi with these.
Otherwise you want to go dps with great sword and rifle. The idea with both build is to gain as much adrenaline as possible in a short amount of time. So with melee class its headbutt and to me with the rifle build its the elite signet so you have ability to use your F1 skills 1 right after the other.
You can try some other things but against really good players and team fights you will be focused so it would be hard running anything else. In the current meta you have around maybe 8 seconds to down someone before its to much and your out of skills to use if your being targeted.
