Seriously, there not any other decent build right now ? Normally I play Thief and Engi , but I decide to give a shot to the warrior because is one of my favorites and I want to play a little more tanky(Shoutbow), so far is comfortable and reliable but a little repetitive. However, there is literally almost no other build out there, 95% of the time is Shoutbow and the other 5% Hambow. Besides this two build , there any other “viable” right now ?

Another thing that bother me is that you can play good or bad , but I find my efficiency fluctuating according to my team (obvious fact on pvp) but what i mean is that is sometimes hard to secure kills by myself, fight again a necro or another warrior is so long, the longest fights that I never had

yes, it’s not one of the classes which you can carry your team to victory like engi, thief mesmer. because warriors damage are all telegraphed and hard to land.
and you can’t catch people because no matter you run gs+sword, if people just blink on higher platforms you simply can’t do anything let alone leaving soft CCs like chill and cripple which heavily affect warriors mobility

Axebow
Mace condi
Axehorn

Axe’s still great just not as good as before the adrenaline nerf and you can still be successful with the Mace condi build, but stick to smaller fights with that. GS/Longbow is also workable but it’s significantly harder than other builds.

And GS/Rifle is still a joke.

Axebow is ok. Some people can’t dodge it at all, easy 1-shots vs thieves\mesmers. Some can dodge, so you gotta play smart and save the burst.

But the problem is that if you wanna do side fights you better go with thief\mesmer\engi. And if you wanna do teamfights – shoutbow is the way to go.

I am going to play AxeHorn for a while, is not superior to Shoutbow , but at least is more fun to play, and now I actually can kill some stuff with eviscerate, I throw axe 3 with leg specilist and sometimes that is enough to secure land evicerate, but I feel shouts more reliable than stances.

shoutheal is the only sustaining warrior build that works (i hear the banner warriors but but.. nope!)

i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015

I use Rifle/hammer build. I like the extra CC.
Generally use one banner and 2 stances or dolyak signet and 2 stances.

Axebow is good with Leg Specialist trait. Immobilize with #3 for a guaranteed eviscerate.

“if you wanna do teamfights – shoutbow is the way to go”

how would that be the case? shoutbow gets mostly ignored in teamfights, sure, it has a banner, but no pressure, inferior cc and no stability for stomps compared to the more traditional hambow.

shoutbow is 10x better as a side node fighter than a teamfighter.
