Guild Wars 2

So what’s the goto build?

I’d be interested too. I was running my power GS Mace/Shield build in unranked last few weeks and it does really well but im guessing that condi Sw/Torch Mace/Shield will be good too.

I get really bored with LB M/Sh condi.

well i don´t know but don´t play go to builds annyway :-).
I have a strenght/defence/berserker power warrior with GS / S/WH. surging + demolisher. Speedy and enough burst to kill fast. Plays well for me. No shield is a bit drawback in duels.
But i main ele annyways :-)

I’ve been using my condi warrior build, sword/torch and mace/shield with wanderers amulet and krait runes. It has been working pretty well so far against almost anything I’ve run in to.

Ive been struggling on power warrior this season. I was in a 2 vs 2 fight at mid and my Zerker F1 skill did 718 damage to the necro.

Ive seen alot of condi out of everyone so i assume mace/shield with longbow is probably the best way to go.

I find it tough to get used to the ragezerker build on metabattle. I cant get the handle of not having Fast Hands. It throws me off all my rotations.

I think based on the speed of rotating this season, this may actually be one of the better builds out there.

Every time I do bursts in berzerker, they seem so weak. Regular eviscerate still doing it for me though.

Mace+shield/longbow for any game where there’s only one enemy guardian. A second warrior tuning rifle+signet of might for multiple guardians.

I’m not playing this season, life is to crazy right now, but seing as there have been no major changes to warrior this season, i’d say Def, Disc, Ber is still going to be prety strong. maybe the new amulets will create a few new builds, but for the most paert i think we’ll see the standard Power, Condi, and Hybrid builds.

I’m going with GS/Mace + Sh with the usual def, disc, bers lines.

I’m just so tired of condi.

hahaha yeah, I gave up on power builds when i noticed the same thing. My core kill shots and eviscerate are doing 1-2k more damage then the zerker form one.

Like i took a screen print but i gave up because i was doing 1k damage with multiple F1 with greatsword on a necro. The zerker eviscerate did 3k and i was like screw it.

I was running beserker amulet with rune of strength and using call to arms to jump into team fights. I was also using sigil of force and im sitting here doing 1-3 damage.

While the condi mesmer, burn-trap guardian and necro 5X more damage. (lol im just throwing out a number)

To be honest the only power builds ive seen have been from thieves.

Most people in pvp have only base toughness. I fail to see why you’re hitting so low. I’ve rolled a warrior a few games this season when my main was a bad match. Gs f1 zerker hits hard af hitting 6k or higher once I properly stack might during the fight I’ve pulled 9k out of it. Not insanely high but that’s gonna hurt. Highest hit I’ve taken this season was a 17k Maul from a Druid pet.

My only guess is they are timing my bursts.

For instance a ele is casting shout can give frost aura and protection to a necro. The necro can then trait for dmg reduced if i have psn and/or chill. So thats my only guess. That right there is i think 60% damage reduced.

To be honest i cant tell you why but i could post kitten and my build when doing it. I mean the amount of healing from engys/druids and eles are out doing the dps i was putting out so i went back to condi.

I’ve been going condi warrior mace/shield and long bow, its been working very well for me, the sheer amount of damage is insane whilst offering a lot of cc

IDK if you remember a few months ago I had that thread where my eviscerate did like 17 damage in the pvp match. Ele damage mitigation is insane.

Wow i do remember that, that one was really good. I believe you were running vanilla which only hurts more.

Yeah vanilla it is even worse because you have all those flat bonuses from the strength line. I think when that eviscerate happened is when I lost faith in this game… the second time lol.
