Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

This is my first post here and I’m curious how the warrior stacks up for ranged DPS?

I have a lower lvl Engy and Thief but was looking for a more ranged class using guns for DPS. How does a DPS ranged warrior compare? Any comments are appreciated and thank you in advance.

DPS Ranged Warrior – RIFLE
Insane burst damage (20-30k).

Weapon Skills:
Volley
Kill Shot

Healing Skill:
Healing Surge

Utility Skills:
“For Great Justice”
Frenzy
Signet of Might
Signet of Rage

Traits:
Berserker’s Power
Crack Shot
Heightened Focus

Skill Combo:
1. Activate all your Utility Skills while aiming at the enemy.
2. Use Volley.
3. Use Kill Shot.
4. Use Healing Surge to replenish lost adrenaline to full.
5. Use Kill Shot again.

That’s around 30k of damage within 4 seconds.

Uh there’s a cooldown on Kill Shot.

Lol kitten it. But still, that should be enough to down other glass cannons.

Here’s a thread on insane rifle build.

Ohh , you’d be dissapointed whit Rifle Warrior if you already play a Thief.Thief’s range ‘DPS’ is better .Good about riffle Warrior is the 1200 range.Whit thief you’re required to be in closer range for better results.So now depends what you’re after.

You can do solid damage as full ranged dps; the skills themselves are fine, and you are using statistically the same weapons as the other ranged classes.

The downside is, the warrior trait trees are fairly limited when it comes to traiting for ranged weapons. I’m pretty sure ranger and engie for example get more traits for their bows/rifles than warrior does for the same weapons. This is part of the downside to warrior; we can use so many weapons so the trait trees are all spread out for weapon types (and probably half of them only get 1 trait effect)
