PvE build for warrior.
It’s not even close to decent for PvE.
But, welcome to the warrior class!
In pve go full berserk.
Here an easy build to make, good for dungeon and open world.

When you get more resources you can get other gears.
^ Yeah, not really. Sorry dude, but you might as well start w/ meta. GS+Axe/mace 65003. Check out Purple Miku’s guide. It’ll carry you and others through every dungeon out there.
Anything else isn’t going to be helping yourself or your team. There are many options if you can’t afford stuff, plus a lot of armor/weapons/trinkets are free due to dungeon running and fractals/dailies.
Welcome to Warrior!
Thanks for the info guys, and thanks for the welcoming
And what would you guys say to this build(it’s originally a build from TapDatMouse, but it had the ascended gear which I don’t wanna mess with): http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJMQJARSjMd09ZlH2dwJagfAxcgBNOuajy3jB-TViFgA0KzWOCAqqHUr0A4SAKBNVx5SXz6+DHPAASBYmyI-w (this is the original build: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQJARSjMd09ZlH2dwJagfAxcgBNOuajy3jB-TliFABLcEAQSpxgq4UlSQAuEAGpM7MdBHqewK7PcwDAIAACwNvZ28mBG6QH6QH6Q7m3co3co3sUAmpMC-w)
I would say the same thing that I said in another post that wanted to use the Hammer for PvE:
you have to look at the skills of the hammer, and the traits needed to put them to most effective use:
Earthshaker: Good skill, but I’ll elaborate on this in a bit.
AA: Hammer Swing, Bash, and Smash. From what shoddy testing I did when I got Twilight last year, it’s the strongest AA available to warriors (2 handed weapons), but like I said, it was very shoddy testing, so if Guang’s here, I’m sure he’ll be able to tell you more concrete numbers than I.
Fierce Blow: 8 second weakness that cleaves. While weakness is indeed useful in high-end fractals, it can better be performed by warhorn 5, which also doubles as a blast finisher
Hammer Shock: Cone AoE and cripple. As previously stated, cripple isn’t exactly… the best skill desired in PvE. Worthless in Arah and most other dungeons as well.
Staggering Blow: This is the skill that makes hammer completely unwanted in higher end dungeons and fractals. Most of the players who are very good at PvE content want enemies close so melee attacks can have their highest value and boons can be upkept and yadda yadda yadda. (Look at one of Colsey, aka maha, explanations of stacking strategy. He explains it better than I) This knockback completely disrupts the flow of a good group. If you’re an anti-stacker, that’s a conversation to be had for another day.
Backbreaker: Knockdown. 30 sec cooldown. Mace 5 better by far. Sorry.
The kicker here is that you’d have to sacrifice 4 trait points to make a hammer build even remotely feasible. If you’re taking them out of the power line, you’re loosing 15% damage period. If you’re taking them out of arms, you’re loosing a great deal of crit chance and 15% damage every time you activate your very useful Earthshaker ability. Not worth it.
Those 4 points in defense aren’t needed at all once you learn the encounters better, so survivability isn’t something that you should be concerned about if you know what you’re doing.
All in all, other weapons do what hammer does, just better.
Check out the link that I put above. It’ll really help you in your dungeoneering. Also, check out this video. It’ll give you pretty much everything that you want to/need to/should know about warriors for dungeons and fractals.
I guess the 2nd build on this topic is a bit more for WvW… Oh well, thanks for the video, the build looks nice

Wellllll….. not really, but that’s a topic for another discussion. Read Miku’s thread about Warrior build for PvE/Dungeons/Fractals/Generally kicking the living crap out of anything that’s controlled by an AI. That’ll serve you well.

Strange builds… Pure 10% dps lose comparing to 65003.

Way more than 10% DPS loss, considering no banner of discipline, not full berserker, mango pie nourishment, using hammer, using hoelbrak runes, and using the most bizarre sigil choice I’ve ever seen on a greatsword.

Oh well, I never liked fondling with runes and sigils and stuff so I don’t understand it completely :P
I think I’m gonna use Nike!’s build it looks very good

It’s the meta for a reason
