Guild Wars 2

Just a for funsies build but also extremely powerful on point. Of course it severely lacks damage and can be easily kited but only if they can get away from all the CC’s.

You can go for a more offensive version by using Berserker amulet if you like but I’ve found that building more defensive works best since all of your attacks are so slow. It works great for holding points until backup arrives or keeping people locked down in AOE’s at mid.

If you’re familiar with profession animations this build is absurdly powerful especially against Engi’s, Necro’s and most Rangers. Anyone who gets on point with you is going to have a very hard time getting away.

Warrior used to be able to time enemy dodges and then nail em as soon as they come out from a dodge, now they got a few seconds of stability to negate it completely. I don’t understand how warrior only got more options inflicting BURN and at the same time every class got even more ways to remove conditions at more regular intervals rendering berserker elite traitline useless.

Just look at any of the elite traitlines, they’ll chock full defensive abilities.

I made similar build to this before, but it uses Crusader amulet + Banner plus Shout team heal + full lockdown stun build with Hammer/Mace-Shield to fully focus on team fight.

You can have some mobility from banner using sprint and swiftness plus hammer’s ES to run away from battle when having relatively small hp. and be sure to grant fury from banner for every 20sec something to fully keep yourself with fury. also I needed to always inflict enemy weakness to let incoming damage decreased by 50% and shorten their endurance not to dodge my stuns. Hoped pulverize works faster -_-;

The good thing is that the build is pretty tanky with shout and banner heal so you can continue inflicting stuns even though it fails. (the problem if you run this kinda build as zerker warrior is that you don’t have survivality to survive from their counterattack when you failed landing stuns)

Have tested a lot with famous premade team like Abjurd, Apex, Radioactive and personally verified that it is very useful build to run and introduce to other people as well. You can count on this build.

Very fun to play this kind of build, always lockdown stun stun…

I think this kind of build cannot be run without having banner, because without banner you have no mobility skill like Sprint plus swiftness from Banner.

Ah yes OP, this is a super tanky version of a build thats been floating around for a bit.

You actually dont have to go berserker ammy for a more offensive approach. There is a very comfortable middle ground with valkyrie ammy and the arms line, since arms can provide lots of crits.

Check it out you might enjoy it. Its a tad squishier but way more damage.
