Hey there. After I got my Guardian (Berserk / Knight) and my Thief (Valkyrie / Berserk) all geared up I created a warrior. First I was thinking maybe make him full berserk geared once I get to lvl 80. But my thief and guardian are doing so much damage all ready so I didn’t want to have another ‘’glass cannon’’. So I want to make my warrior very tanky like.

This first link was a build that I wanted to be tanky dps like and I was concerned that maybe having too low crit chance would be a pain so I worked out this kind of a mess:

Was also thinking the ‘’you shall not pass’’ geared warrior:

I just want to build some kind of pure Tank or Support like warrior. I have 2 damage dealer characters, my 3rd character should be doing something else totally to keep the game fresh for me.

Would be doing mostly PvE and maybe some random world vs world stuff within big groups of course.

Thank you for reading this.

I can tank 2 people in spvp without taking noticeable damage.

7800 hours ingame, and counting.

well based on what you have provided I don’t think it could get any more supporty than this without looking silly…if not already >.>

I actually ended up building this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQRBJddG2InTLczjAETcAA94qq2SVwu0jwYbNA-jAyAocBa6ToJCBKnXEN2yWR0YV6ER16HMPeR0qBA-e

I’d be swaping between signet of rage and battle standard. Prolly signet of rage when alone and battle standard when in groups.

Pretty happy with that build. Plenty of toughness and vitality

EDIT: When swapping elite I would be swapping my dicipline major aswell. Reduction to signets would pointless if running battle standard instead of signet of rage. Cool thing about signet reduction would be the total up time of it, all most no CD.
Same with whatever banner I feel like running (mostly defense banner) it’s besically all the time up and gives regen to everyone to have steady HP regen for me and my group. Not to mention my own passive from Defense trait tree (minor: Adrenal Health) which buffs my own survival even more.

I’m pretty sure I will enjoy this build when I hit 80 (I’m lvl 50 at the moment with my warrior). A new playstyle which is very welcome.

Dire gear is pretty good for tanky dps. Something like this would have great survivability, especially in zergs like in WvW.

I hear it’s getting that nerf that everyone finally wanted so it’s not stupid OP anymore.
