Guild Wars 2

So I finally got tired of the standard soldier + soldier shout build for zerg busting and I saw videos of players like Liryc and Flamu (along with other warriors from other servers) using what seems to be GS + A/WH, H+S/WH, and A/M+S/W and I was wondering what the build is exactly for it? I’m assuming it’s something along the lines of Knights armor + Melandru runes and Cav trinkets? Or is it the other way around? Traits are also something I would like to compare with. Anyone willing to share builds with me?

I use Hammer+GS or Hammer+sword/shield, basically the same build.

I have 3 cavalier trinkets, rest is all zerker, Hoelbrak runes. If you feel like you need more toughness to get going, by all means use more cavalier. This build gives you high crit chance through Unsuspecting Foe. Along with 95% uptime on Fury from SoR and Furious Reaction, you need a minimum of 30% base crit to allow for 100% crit chance on stunned targets (even less for Earthshaker because it gets another 10% chance from Arms 15 minor trait). I run with 40% base crit chance, so my damage is higher when my opponent is not stunned. This helps if I have a hard time landing ES.

You use GS for survival, and Hammer for burst. A good rotation drops a lot of targets.

Have fun!

This build gives you high crit chance through Unsuspecting Foe.

Except that you didn’t trait UF. :P

This is an interesting build for roaming and it looks like I could tweak it for zerg busting! Thanks! I wouldn’t mind seeing other builds/suggestions though.
