Thanks for this post, Denied. I was just about to give up on my warrior in sPvP until checking out these videos.

No problem man, hope they help you find some inspiration!

Edit: Added the Worker Warrior (Shout s/w) to the list

This Skullcracker build…she looks familiar -_-.

JK, glad to see that it hasn’t been completely forgotten. I SHOULD remove Bull’s Charge but I just really like the skill even if it has such a high failure rate. I’ve messed around with Brawler’s Recovery but I felt like without both UF and FG your DPS drops a noticeable amount.

I only watched the first video (shout sw/wh build), and I am not sure what to think about this. You basically spend 20 minutes listing the components of the build, and talk about why it’s called worker build. Though I am confused, as wouldn’t this mean any other build with team support focus also is a worker build?

Anyway, the few tips you give are either very basic or … very odd. You say the intelligence sigil is for getting a critical on final thrust, yet you say it’s hard to land, so you recommend to cripple the enemy first. Your advice is therefore to autoattack cripple them before final thrust. I hope I am not the only one who see the logical flaw in this advice.

The question I asked myself after watching the video, is whether it was made to help people or to beg for donations.

1. The criple was just my bad as I was forgetting talking about sigil of inteligence. Hereby I announce I have put a text onto the Youtube video to use Sword 2 (3s cripple) in combination with Final Thurst.
2. Ppl donate if they want, I’m not here to force them. I’m here to help the community since many whether ignore the needed or even flame at those for being ‘noobs’.

It’s the same as your comment, really. You could’ve said it much more on a friendly note, yet you didn’t. It’s for the ppl who get flamed at being starters or w/e I make those guides.

PS: for the 20mins length vids it’s because I want to cover as much as possible basic stuff. Some irrelevant, yet important.

I am against giving a build without explanation.
Doesn’t mean you can start a car, you can drive it.

Lucky me, I don’t run any of those builds ;P

No, you cover irrelevant (this is the same thing as unimportant) things in your video, and the advice is often bad and/or incomplete. Just to go over sigil of intelligence again, everyone knows it will make the next 3 attacks crit, or at least they can read it from the tooltip or on the build template. It is useful information to mention that this sigil is strong when you use Final Thrust, but beyond that you didn’t really say anything that will help a beginner. You also failed to mention you can use the sigil to get a critical on Arcing Arrow.

So basically, this is a 20 minute video of you talking over something that could be learned from a gw2skill page, and there are so many things you didn’t even touch on, such as the role of the build. But hey, over 1k viewers and that text at the top begging for donations give you the gold you are after I guess. It is a bit shameless, though, considering the quality of the video.

Well, seems the likes and the pm’s/mails I get are against you, not to mention the donations (which I find not rly important, it just helps me).

I see no need talking about specific details (like launching Arcing Arrow and switch weps to let it crit with sigil) since new players won’t even understand this.
(since this is actually a higher level play with mechanics of the game)

This is what you don’t get: the channel is for both veterans AND beginners. Why would I explain a beginner driver on how to drift between two barrels, while he can’t even get the car going? You see my point?

Ppl know they can always contact me ingame for the details AND even for private training (as you said the intel proc on Arcing Blow for example).
I spend half of my time ingame learning/teaching ppl combo’s, mechanical aspects, shortcuts,tricks and more. That’s what ppl donate me for.

It’s fine you dislike my channel and hate the fact ppl are actually donating for it.
However, that is their will and thoughts.

You share your opinion and I understand yours, but you clearly don’t see the bigger picture. Donations? Hell, I don’t care if someone gives me 1bronze or 50gold or give nothing. What I care about are the mails/pm’s/comments of ppl who are now playing ALOT better than they were before and actually had SOMEONE to give them a steppingstone.
Nothing beats sweet mails/comments from people.

You can see me as the person u THINK I am, but I don’t really care tbh, you’re not the first hatin’ on me.

Anyway, appreciate the honest thoughts.

Cheers

PS: Irrelevant does NOT mean unimportant
PSII: I feel like this is going to be a never ending discussion, which I would rather avoid on this thread.
If you wish to carry on, please contact me ingame where we can discuss it in private.

Cheers

@Suns,Alot of stuff covered seems unimportant to some,but it can be important to newbies lerning basics of pvp,thats what denied is good in.His vids show alot of basic stuff to get the hang of pvp,how to rotate,how to use your skills properly etc.Most other channels are just promoting at how “Good” They are.

You get it, Tyr!

Thanks for posting these builds.

I’m trying Axe/Bow and I like the damage, each Eviscerate hits really hard, but I’m not completely confident I understood what the typical role of this kind of warrior is.
If you had to refer to this thread, would you say it’s Roamer/Far point assaulter?

The Axe/bow warrior is surely a Far Decapper. It’s has the DPS and the survivability against (most) builds. This ofcourse with celestial and hoelbrak runes!

Bumpity bump to bump!

One complaint.

Begging for paypal and in-game gold donations.

JoshuaRAWR.4653:

I understand your complaint, but I’m just going with the flow.
Many players, youtubers, streamers are asking for donations so I’m just getting on the same ship.

It’s not that I’m pushing ppl to do so, all is at their own will.

I did, however, removed the PayPal donation link on my youtube since some ppl couldn’t live with it.

This is really not that hard to explain, even to a newbie. You should try it.

Your worker warrior build is not exactly the most optimal version, but I wanted to make an in-depth video guide on it since I mained that build for years now.
Do you mind if I link it here if I finish or should I make a new thread?

I did, in my own Arena where I’m learning beginners.
That’s why I’m leaving the specifics out, out of experience

Pretty much. Also when runnin banner it provides some off node support due to banner buff an regen. Still trying to perfect it, but its neat for holdin one point while allies get help at another from buffs

Reminds me of the full banner regen warrior back in the days; unkillable 1v1 xD

You do not need discipline III trait when you’re perma speed with 4, and yeah you could’ve explain much more things even basics one but its a good introduction.

You mean on the shoutbow? Ya, that’s actually a mistake of mine on the website.

Could you share what kind of info I should consider sharing in my future videos?

Thanks for the feedback

Updated shoutbow build in video description.

I appreciate your videos, but I have a suggestion for your future uploads:

Avoid explaining mundane, basic things in every video, some of the builds you introduce you even say yourself that should only be attempted by players with experience, in that case there’s no need to explain what a trait does, what a sigil does, and what the ability does to an experienced player. It shortens your video, (which is a good thing) and compresses it into more useful information. It gives your viewers, that already know all these things, a more informative experience, (short & sweet so to speak).

Instead make a bunch of videos, explaining the very basics, covering abilities/stats/sigils/runes/traits and how these things work, and put a reminder in every consecutive video that in case a viewer is new, they should go look at those introductory videos instead, and save a LOT of -your- and viewer’s time, both new and veteran players.

Point being: I think you should separate your veteran and newbie content, a veteran player might just get bored, and just wants to hear the juicy parts, the potential of the build, and most importantly seeing it in action, (which I think you should do more montages for cuz I love seeing your gameplay ^^) while also covering some tips & tricks. A newbie might just get confused and overwhelmed, not going trough the necessary steps to understand it. GW2 PvP is not rocket science by any means, but let’s face it, it does require basic training first.

If you’re really passionate about helping people as you say you are, which is inspiring, then I suggest cutting your content into 2 sections, for beginners and for veterans. Maybe throw in some flavor like cheesy non-meta fun builds or some tricks or funny moments etc etc. In any case, increasing the number AND quality of your content will yield you way more viewers, that goes for everything else like art too.

Just my 2 cents, peace.
