Guild Wars 2

Greetings dear forum-members,

because of the current “boom” of reapers, scrappers, druids and dragonhunters I created a little warrior. Currently lvl 40 by scroll, tomes and armorcrafting to 500. Besides some pvp I want her to do some pve-map-runs to reach lvl 80. My question here is … is there a preferable “build” for leveling? I guess for weapons gs/lb or gs/axe+mace should do well. … But I have some problems finding a “good” build regarding to spec-lines and utiliies. I heard that a pure signet-build was common some time before the spec-patch, but has it been replaced by a new one? Is there a specific sequence for leveling speclines? I know that nearly every build can do well in the pve-content, but I like “efficient” gameplay.

Many thanks in advance and have a nice day! :-)

Little sidenote: later I want here to roam in wvw with a condi-build s/t+m/sh

Best regards,
Lucky

signets are still pretty strong till lvl 70+.. I would stay with those for leveling

For efficiency leveling in PvE, maybe something along the lines of mixing soldiers with zerker’s? That way you’ve got that higher dps, but you can also take hits.

For the utilities, I agree signets are a good start, then switch out for other utilities as you think they’d become useful (shouts come to my mind here).

For the Traits, I think the Discipline line is a must for the Warrior’s Sprint and Brawler’s Recovery. When my roommate focused on quickly leveling his warrior in PvE, he found great use of going axe/axe and capitalizing on the trait Axe Mastery in the Strength line (not saying it’s the best, but that’s what he found worked for him).

I’ve been looking to build a pve warrior just for fun. I am not a pvpr nor do I wish to spvp. I have one of each of the other professions except engineer and warrior, and since I tried engi and was not enamored with it, deleted it.

But I want something to just play around with and have fun revisiting older maps with (which means leveling from scratch) and learning something new. I’ve also been searching for a pve build to level with but all I seem to see is pvp or spvp or WvW setups and the meta is not helpful either.

I’ve never understood why the battle meta pages do not include a pve build for any profession, but I digress….what I am interested in is a decent warrior build I can just roll around the pve world with and not die every 10 steps.

@Lynspottery: I sent you a PM about my PvE build.

EW is spot on about the armor mix for leveling. I very seldom use anything beyond signets and “shake it off” as far as the utilities and the elite skill. The only real reason is I’m generally solo when on the warrior and don’t need to worry about boons for a group. The two main trait lines I run are arms and strength for reduced weapon skill recharge (axe, sword, and GS). I’ve tinkered with the 3rd trait line some but it is still sort of a work in progress.
