Guild Wars 2

I wanna try the warrior and im really not interested in the 100b full berserk setup most warrior run (i dont really like the greatsword).

I do really like double longsword, shield, axe, bow, rifle, warhorn. I would love a build where i could help my whole group but without playing a guardian since my friend play one already.

Thank you in advance!

This build you can use with Sword/Shield+Rifle or Sword/Shield+Greatsword. I know you said you don’t like the GS, but in this build it’s only intended for mobility. I played with Rifle for the longest time because I hated the GS too. Now, the GS is a staple. I miss the ranged attack, but the mobility is just amazing. Sword & board are your main weapons either way. It’s essentially a shout heal build. It’s intended for WvW & sPvP. Maybe PvE if you adapted the gear/runes/sigils.

Here’s a more DPS focused build, but still offers some shout heals and warhorn benefits. The rifle is the main damage source. It’s good for anything.

In support builds, Axe isn’t very popular. I know there are bow builds, but i’m not sure how support/utilitarian they are. I’ve never had a bow build, so hopefully someone can link you to one. Sword/sword I think is also a nice condition DPS build, but not a support choice.

You bring to the group what no other class can..What’s that you say? CC

Hammer+ Sword/X

Hammer has the best AOE cc in the game

Sword has the best single target cc in the game

off hand should be either warhorn for condi conversion into boon, vigor. aoe weakness, aoe immob removal.

Or mace for an extra cone cc..kinda ok..

Or shield for block.

I find warhorn with quick breathing the best support

Forget about doing damage with that weapon seup once the new patch pops in.

DPs builds are another thing.

thanks both for the replies

those posts for both build are really interesting traitine! im gonna log right now and go try it out! it might really be what i was looking for!
