Guild Wars 2

I have been running this build in PvP since i first made my warrior, because i hate how people is too selfish and just focus on damage and survivability.

Well the build is this:

Strength: 0

Arms: 10
Deep cuts for more bleed

Defense: 20:

Dogged march so i can run away and chase people easier.

Embrace the pain for more combustive shots and more flurrys.

Tactics: 30

Inspiring banners: Big radius and cooldown is short enough with this trait to just have 1 banner.

Quick breathing: My favorite trait of all the warriors traits, this one doestn just convert conditions into boons, but it does it too for your nearby allies, and charge is guud for breaking from long imobilizes.

Inspiring battle standarts: for AOE regen

Dicipline: 10

Signet mastery: for signet of rage and stamina CD reduction

So and what equipment do this build use?

Sword / Warhorn big mobility, come CC and condition removal all on one set, also packs long lasting bleeds and a moderated punch (i think it hits like a truck but im sure you dont)

Longbow: Leaps, blast on my combustibe shot will stack a lot of migth (9 or 12 if you summon your banner and then use skill 5 inmediatly+ alies blasts)

i use x2 monk and x4 dwyana runes for extra boon duration and to make sure im never without regen

I use Valk amulet for the extra power, critical damage but you can go for clerics (regen ticks for 209 and healing signet 220, with clerics its 300 and 240 respectively so its about 100 hps loss, not too bad)

My utilities are:

Healing signet: more regen that is active even when you take tiny hits which makes it very useful to me

Banner of disipline: 8.5 % critical chance and 15% critical damage is very useful

Balanced stance: as stun breaker

Signet of stamina: burst condition removal for those epidemics or so

Signet of rage: perma fury swifness and 42/28 seconds of 5 stacks of migth

I act as a mobile sturdy support member on my team, its hard to get killed with this build because of sword mobility and your high regen, which by the wat is:

221 from signet + 209 form regen + 360/3=120 from adrenal health= 550 hps, not bad eh?

Y use sigils of perception and sigil of fire on the sword, whith optimal conditions (25 stacks of perception, fury and banner), i break the 50% crit chance mark which is near a zerk jewel level and i have 40% critical damage (10% from traits, 20% from jewel and 15 % from banner), its not strange to hit over 2500 with final thrust or 5k+ arcing arrows.

ok im over… opinions?
oh and sorry for my bad english.

Please dont make me feel alone or im going to cry

Please dont make me feel alone or im going to cry

you sacrifice a little too much damage and survivability

condition warriors dont work well in pvp and other classes will burst you in a few seconds

try my build instead.

Its a warhorn build but you do offensive support with knockdowns cc and boon removal with warhorn

I still trying to figure out my armour runes and offhand sigils

I’ve tried a similar build (longbow w/ regen discipline banner and boon conversion) with several variations and they all were very very poor in tPvP compared to dps/crit based builds.

I hope this style of play gets made viable some day, since it would be my personal preference to play warrior in this manner, but I dont think it will happen anytime soon – banners poor radius even when traited and take too long to cast/pick up, radius on the warhorn vigor buff is low and the weakness is too short duration to “shut down” any real damage, the 2 sources of regen is still too low unless using toughness amulets, and I’ll just stop here because the list goes on and on :-/

the problem with his build is that he basically added whatever looks nice.

A build should be a complete idea and playstyle. Of course, the OP have to specialize to a particular weapon and combo.

I gave the OP a viable warhorn build.

Spam the Axe f1. That skill crits very nicely

Sigil choice is bad. On swap sigil share one cooldown.
So having 100% crit on switch in the main and 50% endurance regen in the offhand doesn’t procc both. You will just get one of them (afaik the 100% crit).

@ loseridoit your build is good, but as far as i can see its a “bunker” build, made to hold a point while moving in small circles, the problem here is: that when somebody strts to kite you, you cant do anithing, not even run away because your mobility lacks a lot.

my build isnt condition, i use valkyries jewel which is a power and crit damage amulet, my bleesds only tick for 50 and they get cleanased in 2-3 seconds anyway, but my direct damage uts not bad also, my crits with sword auto hit for about 1k and up to 2.5k on thi final thrust, i even tried to use axe / horn instead of sword / horn, but i got kited to death so i desided to use sword.

Yourd build is good but it also doesnt bring a lot AOE support compared to mine.

All that CC is useless when you’re blind, i.e. any fight with a thief for nearly the entire time, and a lot of blind coming from guardians/necro/mesmer – actively directed at you because warrior is #1 on the target priority.

my build is not a bunker build. Its a crit build

swap weapon before using the f1 attack

use warhorn to removal all movement condition.

i call this build the juggenuant

axe #3 with leg specialist will solve any kiting problem

Edit: there is alot of support with my build. Its pure offense aoe. My build is miles better than your build because your build is a liability. Low survivability and low damage. These two important points make your build weak to the point that any other warrior build is better. My build bring aoe condition removal and offense aoe. Do not underestimate stability res, axe crits, and aoe CC. These bring lots of support to any 2 vs 2 battle. People lack imagination
my build f1 axe crits around 4k-5k damage every 9 secs. Best pressure is not cc but insane damage and you can might stack with a shield which make a potential 7k crit

No player thief I ever fought spec for blind to counter this build. The hardest thief I fought was the NPC in the heart of the mist. That thief spam blind like crazy. Thieves are weak and I faceroll them. They are always surprised to realize that kick counters heartseeker

Necro or memser do not have enough blind to destroy this build.

Aganist a mesmer, there are other problems

Against a necro, this build can destroy necros

who said I need the endurance sigil to proc all the time?

I have near perma vigor with the warhorn

It does not only not proc all the time. It does not proc at all. The slot could be empty, and it would make zero difference.

ahh i started to test it. yea your right. Oh well, I dont really care right now, I trying to figure out the optimal off hand sigils.

Cool, my build is gonna get a buff. Weakness lowers crit damage, yey
