Hi!
I’m fairly new to Guild Wars 2, so please don’t be annoyed by having to say it for the 1000th time.
(New: just reached lvl 80, done a few world bosses, armorsmith 387)
I’ve read some on the internet and I see Warriors (what I am now) being at their best on condition or dps (I think that is pure damage?)…

What should I go for building my warrior?

.

I know ‘Berserker’ items are for pure damage.
And I think Greatsword would be best to fit it. (And swap weapon?)
Runes: Rune of the Ogre / Eagle / Golemancer?
Sigil: Sigil of Accuracy / Frailty / …?
Traits:
- (6)Strength: IX, XI, XIII?
- (4))Arms: X, V?
- (4)Discipline: XI, XII?

.

For Condition Warrior, should I then go for Carrion or Dire, or something else?
And for weaponry: I like double swords now, also because it does condition (bleed + torment). Is this the best choice though?
And as swap I have Rifle (also Bleeds)
So in fight I open with rifle for ranged attacks, when enemy comes i swap swords..
Runes: 6x Superior rune of the krait? (Would be awesome, because I craft armorsmith)
Sigil: Sigil of Corruption / Agony / Bursting / Malice?
Traits:
- Arms: III?
Rest I don’t know, not really condition (bleed) based…

.

Well, this is an entire load of info asked…
If someone could fill in the correct things or has hints of how to take it, I would be awesomely pleased!

(If there is a guild actively training people, please contact me too, I don’t have THE skills, I just can play a PvE environment now…)

Well, May I thank you very much for your input!
I’m gonna try the condition warrior for sure (I’ve heard there aren’t enough condition players around, so here I am )
And I might (if I find the inventory space and time and items to build and …) get that berserker warrior as a back-up for some other play

Thank you

Hey, there is a very good condition build that is capable of nearly the same damage output as the best berserker build in a solo setting. In group play it’s way way worse than direct damage, but if soloing it’s pretty close and depending on how much kiting the encounter involves, you may even be able to do faster with the condition build than the berserker. However if you are able to have a proper rotation with GS on the boss, berserker is still the best DPS.
