Guild Wars 2

Newbie questions incoming
I know you can do the shout support warrior and I’ve always liked the banners, but when I played a shout heal warrior in structured PvP it didn’t seem like the heals mattered. As much as I like damage I’ve always wanted to either play a support or have the option to switch to a support build in almost any game I play. Can you play a Warrior as a support? If so, how and what is Support Warrior? Should I reroll a guardian or another class if I want to play as a support type character?

I know there are a few other topics out there about this, but the ones I’ve found were posted quite some time ago and I don’t know how much this has changed.

I run a support modified shoutbow warrior that I have been meaning to get some constructive feedback on. Anyways, use the shoutbow traits, but instead of putting 4 points into the toughness tree, put 5 points into the condition/percision tree( yyou get the extra point from the burst mastery tree by putting only 3 points)

Anyways, the reason why i like shoutbow and modified shoutbow is the condition removal. The heal is just a small bonus. Being able to have 5 seperate condition removal is amazing for dungeons, fractals and pvp. Two condi removal from 4 &5 war horn and the 3 shouts ( with the trooper rune). In addition, if you know how to stack might with the longbow fire field with blast finishers, you keep your party/team might stacks up pretty well!

Hi nightclaw,

It is viable to build a team around a bunker warrior, as demonstrated in NA with Radioactives comp.

There are basically two options, as I see it, one is using some elements of healing, which this build on metabattle follows: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Banner_Bunker

This will be a fun build for you to try, and the personal sustain is pretty crazy.

If you want a bit more teamfight presence, try the sword/warhorn and hammer combo.
You can see the other version in this clip – it’s the build run by the warrior sir crysis: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wNZCZHDYurE

It exchanges the additional heals for the flexibility of fast hands, and some other things!
Basically your role with this build (or even the one above) is as a rez bot for your allies, and locking down targets (with stuns or sword adrenaline skill immobilise) for your teammates to burst.

I particularly recommend the second build – give it a shot!

Best support warrior in PVE is PS. PvP Shoutbow is the best support.
