Guild Wars 2

Hey!
I am new to this game and have my endless problem of picking profession. Lets get to the point I would want to play dual wield warrior but after a while of digging I saw that every one is playing with great sword/shield+something. My question is how do ss warrior do in wvw pvp and pve.
Thanks for wasting your time for me:)

Sword/Sword is a condition build, meaning it’s not a good build for PvE. As for WvW, Sword/Sword is good for roaming, but not so much if you run with a zerg.

Do note that just Sword/Sword isn’t really a build. Most people would pair that with a Longbow.

Actually, I think sword/sword is quite okay as a power spec as well. Impale hits pretty decent and so does Final Thrust and the conditions are gravy and help to cover immobilize from the burst skill, which is quite good for singling out targets in a group fight or chasing down people. You can also drop your burst immobilize, weapon swap to greatsword, and use hundred blades while they are stuck. Or combo it with longbow and keep your target rooted even more. Of course at the moment, hammer kind of overshadows this, but it still works.

hi. I don’t do pve or wvw,only spvp. dual sword + longbow condition dmg build very nice and powerfull. you told you are new,so maybe you don’t know what I mean by saying “condition dmg” its means you will do high bleeding/burning damage on target.

From power build perspective;

1 – Does lil low dmg, but its fast+has bleeds so its fine
2 – Is fine. Allowing to stay on top of target nearly all the time.
3 – Useless under 50% hp, and due to its slow animation its hurts when it wont crit.
F1 – Immo is cool, but overall this skill sux for dps in power builds. In general used to immo>swap

Offhand – in general doesnt work in power builds.

4 – is condition based skill but i have to say that even in power builds its does fine
4> – called Rip – for me personally that skill sux, i don’t think casttime is reasonable to it damage.
5. Cool blocking skill but purely condition based

If u want to play power build, i would go sword/shield as sword offhand is terrible

If u want to play condition build, sword/sword is the way to go

Also warrior condition build are very viable for solo PvE, I have loads of fun soloing champs in Or with my SS/LB build. If you take it in dungeons people are going to complain and give you a hard time cause they want a full zerk GS/Axe-Mace build for maximum DPS and quicker boss fight and faster runs.

Conditions are badly mostly due to condition cap and scaling issues for PVE.

Conditions only scaling off of two stats instead of 3 is what really kills them.
