Guild Wars 2

Alright, it’s been almost more than a year since I got into the game due to loss of hardware. I kept track of many of the changes but as of now, my heavy arms warrior (Dontain’s tanky DPS build) is completely busted.

All of the traits are moved about in a way that ruins any hope of putting the build together on my own so I figure I may as well try something else. Now, the only statics about this help I’m dictating are this.

• Greatsword as the main weapon
• No full Zerker spec

I don’t need to run PVT completely anymore, and as much as it pains me, I can ditch the soldier’s runes if I have to. But I don’t have the will to completely rebuild the guy from the ground up.

Any advice guys?

You can change the gear if you want to be more tanky though a warrior really doesn’t need to be tanky. You should be doing rotations of gs burst and axe auto to maximize damage.

I’m not the best player really, so yeah, -I- need to be at least a little tanky to not just die all the time. I don’t just stand there but I’m no keyboard gymnast. I’ll check this out though, thanks.

Still looking for more ideas though. I wanna grind out one of those new bladed pack pieces for this guy and I need a trait setup to do it with.

It’s not much of a grind for the back piece really. You’ll have enough stuff to make the exotic after about 4 runs thru LA.

As for the event, I’ve just been going with longbow and axe/warhorn for ranged tagging and constant swiftness.

The link above is the current warrior PvE meta. Use it as a framework and adjust as needed for survivability. Try it out with your PVT gear first and see how it goes.

Op is not asking for the meta build. Everything that he said contradicts what the meta build is about. He also probably doesn’t need banners on his bar. And he is not asking for a PVP build

Ya my advice to you if you just want to do PVE but want to keep the soldiers armor and you dont have money. Is just replace the soldiers runes with either Ruby Orbs, Scholar runes, Ogre runes, or Hoelbrak runes if you want to stack -20% condi with leek soup dogged march or something.

And then do Zerker weapons, and zerker trinkets. With sigil of force and accuracy.

For traits and defense 15 points in defense is all you need to feel tankyer Cuz that is adrinal healing then do healing sig as the healing skill the regen will make you tanky in PVE.

Then just pick up 15 in in dis for faster weapon swaps.

you have 40 points left now either put 30 in arms and 10 in str or put 25 in arms 10 in str and add the last 5 to dis or defense.

This sounds like pretty much what you want. So… best of luck

This is EXACTLY what I wanted, thank you so much. I’ll play around with the ideas here and see if anything gels.
