S/W + GS still viable?

Hi all,

Just returned to the game after a few months and a lot has changed for warriors.

My warrior is in zerker gear and uses s/w + GS for solo/group roaming and mobility. Is this build effective as it used to be 5 months ago? Also, would you recommend a build that would work well for this weapon combo?

Thanks

Yes. Very good actually. From sword warhorn, you can have an alternate set of mace and shield and gs.

maybe but for me Berserker Stance is more than enough to handle conditions coupled with Lyssa runes.

if you dont know already Berserker Stance now make you immune to unmodified conditions for 8s , enough time to kill condi necros and blind spam thieves.

and i think you dont need leg spec because this build has a lot of cripples/immobilize + you have the best mobility you can get of a warrior almost nothing can run away from you and nothing can catch you.

GS slashing power > Sword blademaster , its 10% pure damage increase while blademaster is just critical chance increase which we already got enough and you will be using mostly GS for damage, Sword mostly for cripples/immobilize but also good for finishing enemies under 50% HP with final thrust .

In my opinion S\W -GS is way better than M\S because you
Have the same stun with flurry + dmg+bleeding and then you
Just final thrust and it will one shot your ennemy , mine crits
For 7-8k . And i always start with bullcharge+ 100b to get
Good damage and gain adrenaline. But however i dont
Suggest full zerk because you ll get one shotted by a GC
Thief . Knights are way better .

true way better than M/Sh with EXCELLENT mobility

thank god nobody complaining about it

Invested heavily in health regen/active condition removal + good HP
