Guild Wars 2

Hey guys! So I’ve been messing around with the new specs and observing what other warriors are running and such, and here’s something that came together: http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AggBpAK4BLw~

A lot of people had commented on a discussion pre-patch relating to using Warhorn with a PS build for the condi cleanse. I tend to like it as well, and now we can bring Quickening Warhorn along with Empower Allies. You can use Sword along with it for utility or Axe for DPS (If you use Axe you may want to change to Deep Strike in Arms instead)

Utilities are Healsig, Banner of (x), Signet of Fury, Shake It Off!/Dolyak Signet, Signet of Rage.

This spec doesn’t have Fast Hands so keep that in mind. On the plus side, it does offer a nice contrast between offense and defense for pugging things, and getting the weapon swap rhythm down is key for efficiency. A tip on usage – if you feel comfortable you can pop Heal Sig+SoR before the engagement for 10 stacks of might.

So you took the meta build, added a bad trait instead of Empowered and are using a bad utility skill instead of the second banner. K.

Erm no offense to you but it’s rubbish and pointless considering even poorly coordinated groups are overpowered at the moment and will kill bosses before any cleansing is needed.

If you aren’t taking fast hands, you aren’t going to swap weapons. That’s a fairly obvious rule for warriors.

There’s only two real variants for PS builds now. If condi cleanses are ever needed for whatever reason leave it to another class that’s able to provide it without senseless DPS losses.

Also what’s with the dolyak signet? You don’t slot things like that in groups… >.>

I dont think quick breathing is so bad on PS in some pugs that aren’t carrying any cleanse. Like I could see it helpful on an arah path gone wrong lol. But I don’t see why we do sword/warhorn and not axe warhorn in some sticky situation.

Your build is situational at best and I would never run this build. If I needed to use cleanse I would hot swap my mace for a horn change the trait then undo those changes immediately after the situation.

ANET has now dumb down this game so much that I am not even sure why does this thread even exist.

No offense to the OP but this is not rocket science stuff anymore not that it ever was.

I am not sure NIKEs videos are necessary anymore other than reiteration the importance of basic game mechanics to new people and his followers.

You are basically taking the brain ded meta build that anyone can take 1 second look at and figure it out. And making it worst.

Builds have always been easy for experienced players to figure out. Do you think my guides exist to educate people who are in speed clear guilds? That is not the target audience.

I don’t understand why you must be so malicious Nike. I was simply putting this here for those who don’t care enough to dig into your well written guides and watch your videos. I also don’t go into your guides and bash them. This isn’t even a guide.. just food for thought for those who are interested.

Then don’t use it.

Edit: Also, which line are you guys dropping for Discipline? I assume it’s Arms. If that is the case is everything still meta with dual banners and FGJ slotted?

Not sugar-coating the truth has nothing to do with being malicious.

Zagerus.8675:

Because if you did, you’d have to lie in doing so whereas he didn’t lie herein.

Look I’m not going to bicker on the forums. Leaving helpful advice to improve is at least beneficial.

Yes and you are implying that I posted this to gain recognition or something along the lines there. Some of us throw ideas out looking for respectful discussion about how to improve. Not everyone has played the game for 3 years and has the plethora of knowledge that some of the more disrespectful members on this forum have. I do agree that pretty much anything can be at least somewhat effective now because of how much DPS everyone gained with this patch. Maybe we can all get together and have an intelligent, respectful discussion if and when things get balanced.
