Guild Wars 2

In all builds i have done pre patch sword usually had a secondary role as a supporter set with shield or warhorn. As primary set priority was to axe(mace/shield), GS or hammer.

With the 25 patch I’m asking myself if the sword can fullfil the role of primary weapon set.

with the new traits the sinergies with sword are nice, for example:
I put 30 point into ARMS, taking:

-deep cuts: 50% on bleeds
-swordmaster: 10% crit chance sword
-Opportunist: gain 10 secs of fury when immobilize a target

After I took 10 points in the tactics tre and took leg specialist, so the sinergy with a SWORD/SWORD set is nice and also with soldier’s amulet my crit chance is really strong:

I have PERMANENT fury up all time with the sinergy between leg specialist and sword skill also with internals cds and so on.
Using soldiers amulet i had some RIP critting for 4k and FINAL TRUST for near8k.

now I ask to you what do you think on this build, where the core is Sword/sword and the sinergy is with leg specialist and opportunist. So mandatory is 30 arms and 10 tactics

Would you go for powr or condition damage on this build? where do you will put the remanent points around trees?

In my sperimental build “the dual wielder” this is what i tried so far:
10/30/0/10/20, its much more for damage but i need suggestions for more survivability,
With dual wielding on strenght and warrior’s sprint and vigorous focus on discipline.
amulet is soldier wich gives me some nice survivability and my crit chance and damage is still nice.
ofc this is a spvp build.

yes it’s decent

I actually run a dual sword/longbow build myself in sPvP with 0/30/0/20/20, it’s very decent in a power build now. took the extra 10 in tactics for “Shrug it off” because warriors are still extremely susceptible to conditions (even more so now with the new blind).

The fixed OH sword block is lovely for kiting and fighting ranged people.
