My attempt at theory crafting a build, can easily drop some mitigation for more offence:

I’d like to think the build works in all parts of PvP but the link above has food so WvW!

I’ve been messing around with it in game just now and it has something….

1) Rifle is for kiting and that is it….Rifle is for when you don’t want to get close just yet

2) Axe auto attack is crazy damage and shield block+stun is amazing control and the burst on axe hits like a truck!

Might move 5 points from Arms and max out the burst line and get 100% rally when you kill in vengeance…

Or ignore the Rifle trait and get 1 sec immobilise with snare?

Why the 25 in Discipline?

The minor trait isn’t really worth it and you get more power from going 25 into Strength, or 30 into Arms. The latter also comes with Furious, which is excellent for Adrenaline gain.

Also, I don’t quite see the point of going Knight’s on armor and Valkyrie in ornaments. If you want the crit damage, then you’re best off using Beryl Orbs, as those offer the best point-per-point return. Even more so since you cannot get Exotic Soldiers on the upgrade slots. So I would suggest exotic Soldier’s accessories with Beryl Orbs instead.

Here is improvement option 1 for some 4040 effective power, 38006 EHP and 40.79% damage reduction.

Here is improvement option 2 for some 3894 effective power, 38006 EHP and 40.79% damage reduction.

I like A/S. As asked earlier though, what type of WvW. You will need to be grouped with someone in WvW with this build.

Any response you get means zero if they give you advice without knowing exactly how you plan on playing.

I was looking for some solo and some small group play, I was aiming at being able to solo supply camps!

As much as I like all the weapons I don’t think you can pull off solo with it. You have almost zero mobility…..no weapon movement and swiftness only 50 % of the time (if you use SoR).You won’t be able to catch anyone or run away from zerg….which is why I support the theory that Warriors need a 3rd weapon set !

I can easily solo supply camps with Ranger. Haven’t been able to do it with Warrior yet without kite pulling. A bit of a glassy build you are going to use. Be interesting to see you pull it off soloing a camp.

Got it, so the build could be ok duelling wise but out in the open in WvW others will run away and run me down with ease :/

By the way what build would you use to solo camps (warrior and ranger)?

Seriously try this build. You can use a rifle with it if you want, Just change the GS trait to a Rifle trait. You only going to need a rifle 5% of the time probably.

I’m currently running a Rifle + Axe/Warhorn in PvP.

I think it’s an amazing build, cuz it has great ranged pressure and an amazing spike that hits for 7+ k.

It’s also very easy to hit it, because you have a immobilize on the rifle that is very easy to land.

I chose the Warhorn, because I don’t really need the Stun of the Shield, I’m not too glassy to need the Block as well, but the Teamsupport of the Warhorn is simply great and between the Spikes, I always have time to use the Warhorn-Skills.

For Ranger, regen build…either Power or condition depending how I feel. Either way I still pull out axe/torch for the fight plus 2 drakes. Torch aoe, axe aoe, drake aoe +entangle aoe kills the camp fairly fast.

Warrior ? Haven’t found a clean and efficient way to do it yet …and open to suggestions !
