Guild Wars 2

Post April 30th, 2013 Patch

Loaves of Saffron Bread
- 20% condition duration
+ 20% reduced incoming damage when stunned/knocked down/knocked back

Quality Maintenance Oil
Gain power equal to 5% of your toughness
Gain power equal to 3% of your vitality

These two are a MUCH better and SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper alternative to the Bowl of Lemongrass Poultry Soup and Master Maintenance Oil for price/effect.

I will be posting a gameplay video showing this new build in action in WvW really soon. I have tried it in WvW already and I can honestly say that it’s a significant change for the better. I can now take on multiple enemies (2-3) because of a MUCH higher dps from DotE, SoM, Maintenance Oil, and Bloodlust. I can also stay in fights much longer because of the full 30 points in the Defense tree, Loaves of Saffron Bread, and Dogged March. Overall, this is a huge buff for Warriors that I enjoy very much!

First of all, the video clip is great! But your second set you have on is it axe/shield? And would this build work outside of WvW? Like Pve?

It only works in WvW haha. In PvE, I prefer 20-30-0-0-20 with same gear just because you’d want as much DPS in PvE as you can have since mobs are significantly easier to kill than enemy players.

I have a completely different build in tPvP!

Dangit! Hmm… I spend most of my time in PvE although sometimes I find myself in WvW a lot more than expected! It there a build that is so-so for both? Gosh, I’d like a dual spec type of thing…… respecting every time between both zones sucks!

Well, this build is perfectly okay in PvE! I’m talking mostly about dungeons (Citadel of Flame) in general since I’m sure you as well as a lot of people want fast clears of dungeons where a full DPS build is much better than a balanced build. But I’d suggest going for this build if you’re still new to the Warrior since a living warrior puts out more dps than a dead one. Also, for traits you wouldn’t want DotE in PvE since enemy mobs don’t really use buffs as much as enemy players do.

Where’s the WvW vid?

/bookmark. Have been thinking about something similar but too new to war to be sure. Will look forward to a WvW action vid of this.
