Guild Wars 2

I was just wondering, what would be optimal damage for PvE DPS-HP hybrid warrior?

I made some combination out of full zerk and some toughness traits: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJIQNAR3ej8c0FafHWewJigfgC7t3CmCgrrwGoKNA-TBCBwAWOCAnVCid/R5HO1fAcQASpbQ/DAIwFAgUARsFA-e

I currently deal ~2k damage per crit.

What I want is to have moderate damage with okay HP

Thanks in advance.

Honestly, I’m not quite sure why you’d want a large health pool.

The higher damage you could get from a full zerk PvE build will mean that mobs would die more quickly, and using dodge-rolls combined with your Whirlwind Attack evade, and a 19k health pool will mean that you’re much more of an asset to your team.

Also, pretty much all of the points in the Defense tree are wasted. The power you are gaining from 10% of your toughness is very very small due to you wearing full zerk armor, and Dogged March and Cleansing Ire are really only used for WvW/sPvP. The majority of the time, condi cleansing is done by Guardian or Elementalist so if I was you I’d just go: 6/5/0/0/3.

Tweaked your build a bit

I don’t want to use this char only for dungeons, I want it for rest of gameplay, like questing etc

If you can, tweak my build so I can have okay HP with nice damage.

Isn’t it obvious I don’t want full zerk because I think they are way too squishy for me?

I would recommend using knights armor + zerker everything else if you think they are way too squishy. You definitely want 6 in strength line, to get that 25% damage boost.

can you link me the build on skilk editor? Thanks!

Honestly, it’s going to be the same 65003 build that Casmurro linked. Those traits are going to be your best bet. Take bersker’s trinkets and weapons and knights everything else. 19k hp is pretty high, and the knight’s gear will allow you to survive better than just having a lot of HP, and w/ the added precision, you can use on-crit foods, like omnomberry ghosts, to steal health, further keeping your health high (almost full @ all times).

Thanks Helped me out enough If anyone else have any more suggestions feel free to comment

Change your Berserker Jewels with Soldier.
You “fall” to 48k of critical chance, but increase your toughness and your vitality. Increasing your toughness you increase you power (trait) and whit your power you increase your vitality (trait). But only a little.

Or you can use a 6/4/4/0/0 build, with berserker wepon and armor and soldier jewels.
You increase your power to 2680, your healt to 24k, but reduce your crit damage to 185% and your crit rate to 46% (whit fury you reach 66%, and it’s good). Very good damage, good HP and good survavibility.

Much better
But you should use runes of the scholar instead of ruby orbs, after the ferocity patch ruby orbs lost quite a bit of dps.

This is fantastic. You’ve got the added vitality from the trait line, which will help immensely.

Another thing you might consider:

Phalanx warrior (05062) w/ strength runes (if you’ve got around 80ish gold). You’ll have over 22k hp and have permanent 25 stacks of might for you and your party. You will be a GODSEND in pugs and do pretty decent damage yourself. Nothing compared to 65003, but hey, you’ll survive pretty much everything wearing knight’s gear w/ that 05062 setup.

This is what I’m talking about when I suggest phalanx warrior. I think that you’ll enjoy playing it, and you’ll be helping your pug/team significantly.

Thanks a lot for share mate, Ill try to farm it. Much appreciated

Cheers!

I’ve been running PS for about 2 months now, but I use GS/LB because that way I get my own firefield and an extra blast finisher, and the blind can sometimes be useful as the fight opens. Then I only camp GS for the fight because I want to land as many crits with it as possible for the might they give due to Forceful Greatsword. Any crit landed with any other weapon does not benefit from this trait, so it results in missed stacks of might. I have not done the math and maybe a Fast Hands with Axe+Mace option instead of LB is more helpful due to more deeps that makes up for the missed might stacks and then some, but I doubt the difference could be that big. And while the vulnerability from the mace is cool, you already have decent vulnerability with GS from Rending Strikes. And mace KD is fairly irrelevant when fighting bosses, which you will be doing a lot in dungeons.

Serbian, if you want a high damage tanky(ish) build for WvW I’d go something with Cavaliers and the like…

Such as…
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAR5ejMdUGaXIWhwJaAlgCdofBdwx2OAU2FjOA-TlCCAB+s/ADXAgIVVZMlgAcEA2UtCHeAAap8TjDCQd6GIFATKjA-w

It’s a WvW Skullcrack build, but you get the idea. High damage + good toughness.
