So as this says its for PVE warrior builds im going to post what i learned with 2 types of builds as far as dungeons. Both are extremely viable and fun. So as i see alot of builds dont use this site so if your unfamilur with it in the middle of the screen there is 3 tabs the symbols are 2 squares ontop of each other, a hexagon and a helm. use these to scroll between weapon set up, traits, runes.

So this is Shout Heals. I use Clerics gear, and sapphire jewelry for mad healing. I put the shouts in order 7,8 being spamable, or used to heal party members, 9 being situational if a mob stuns save it to break stuns, if not heal people with it. Just dont waste it and then find yourself needing it when its on cool down. I chose axe as main hand because it scales the best with power so all the gear you use uses power it does decent dps. Mace off hand control and vulnerability. Warhorn weapon swap weakness and swiftness poor mans protection.

So the focus of this build is mass support lots of healing with shouts, and condition removal, stacking vulnerability opening the mob up so your higher dps’s can rip it apart, and control with mace stun ability, chances are with the gear set up you will have agro, All while maintaining high dps cause of axe’s scaling ability with power.

So this is Banner Regen. I use Knights gear and emerald jewelry for power precision and toughness. Since regen scales horribly with healing power I think its best to shy away from it and focus on other stats. The utility slots 7 is banner obviously banner regen build needs a banner. I like it cause it provides precision as well as the regen. I only use 1 banner because thats all that is needed when it disappears your cooldown will disappear to allowing you to keep that banner active 100% of the time. Slot 8 I use for great justice cause who dosnt like fury and might. an 9 I use Shake it off agian for stun breaker nothing sucks more then laying on the ground for 5seconds after a mob sweeps your feet out from under you. Use greatsword for the dps its fast and hits everything in front of you. Weapon swap axe/warhorn axe scales best to power as i previously said and warhorn provides weakness and swiftness.

Focus of this build is high DPS while maintaining toughness and not being squishy mitigating your hp with regen from signet, blood sigil, and banner regen. An of course providing group with 100% regeneration and fury/might boons.

I run both of these builds I love them no one is better then the other they both work well just depends on your play style. Im trying to work on a sword main hand build, but since the market is kinda expensive right now im limited in funds. An testing out new stuff means i need condition gear which I dont have, but ill get around to it soon.

Oh and when i have to range i use a long bow for both weapon sets. I dunno what it is about guns but i hate hearing the shooting noise so i always use the bow.

Anyways let me know what ya think criticism is welcomed and hope this helps people looking for ideas.

Both your links are broken. I use shout build with soldier runes, but not with clerics gear I use soldier gear. Neither of these builds are high DPS despite what your stating. But they are high survivability with the Shout build being higher survivability than the other.

Ok got the url’s fixed. Yea the DPS isnt as high if say you ran in berserker gear which for the second one you can flip that out for a couple pieces and stay good but to make things simple i said all knight. Only problem with running berserker gear sure ya do alot of dps but you cripple the group by making people rez you i hardly go down with both builds.

I think the 2nd build with 2k armor is really too low. The 1st one with 2.6k is fine but I prefer something around 3k myself for dungeons. I mean with no points in my defense trait I have 2.6 k

Yea its a little low, but thats where the higher crit and having more life leaching from sigil of blood comes. With the greatsword that thing procs all the time to mitigate the lower armor. you actually have more for what ever reason it dosnt add in the toughness on the calculator from gear.

Ill tell you a secret. If you promise not to tell anyone. j/k If your after crit theres a niftly little trick you can do with traits. In the arms trait there is something called opportunist which gives you fury when you immobilize a target. There in the Tactics trait there is something call leg specialist, apply a 1 second immobilize whenever you cripple a target. When you combine the 2 traits, you get fury every time you cripple something. So if you use blade trail on a GS or the cripple of an axe. u get fury, and it immobilizes and cripples all at once.

So I don’t really use for great justice at all, forceful greatsword gives me a ton of stacks of might and i get fury when i cripple.

Thats pretty cool never noticed that. in order to do it though would have to extend the arms tree out another tier and drop the power tree and shout trait. which would be cool though cause would free up a new utility for something like on my mark or endure pain.

yeah thats the beauty of it you can drop the strength tree to 10 without a noticeable nerf because at 25 points of arms the minor trait attack of opportunity increases damage to bleeding foes by 10% when combined with the 1st minor trait of arms at 5 points precises strikes, you have a 33% chance to cause bleeding. So that negates removing slashing power at 20 points of strength the 10% great sword damage.

What u end up with is a build thats better for using multiple weapons instead of being constrained to 1.

well in the build i have power tree has only 10 points in it so it would drop it down to 0. because instead of going for the 10%dmg i went with the 9% crit in discipline and the 10% crit dmg bump from 10 points. so to do that would take that build to 0 str tree 30 arms tree.

XD that might be ok idk maybe try it with 0 strength. The discipline trait line is kinda a necessary one if u want to run faster. Or want to use mobile strikes to break out of immobilize, but the stats it gives are very small. If you didnt care about running faster there are better ways to get 9% crit power with gear. If your using a shout build with solder runes shouts remove conditions so when u shout u can simple remove immobilize. Simply adding 3 stones to accessories would do it. I kinda feel anything less than 50 crit is too low at 50+ the base of 150 your doing double damage with 200. Anything less your doing less than double.

so i got to thinking about that trait you mentioned do you know if the fury gained stacks in duration if the blade trail hits multiple targets? if so thats freakin awesome or does it only count for 1 target?

That is does stack in duration if you cripple 3 targets for example its duration is X3.
