Guild Wars 2

Which would make more more survivable in WvW?

I’m either going to go all toughness or a split of 50/50. Since toughness doesn’t help out with condition damage, I though some extra vitality might be beneficial. I tend to find myself in large skirmishes and usually hop in and out to deal pockets of good damage, but get downed to often.

Toughness.

Warriors have a really great Health pool to begin with.

Neither Vitality nor Toughness will help you when you get focused if you jump into an enemy zerg though. Just so you know.

PVT armor, Soldier runes, Zerker trinkets, get a hammer and run 10 0 30 30 0

If you want to live long enough to react to thief burst while roaming, you’ll need some vit to complement toughness. Other than that though, toughness > vit.

In a zerg… doesn’t matter tbh

I’ve been watching some of the videos put out by the top wvw guilds such as RG, HB, and another one that I can’t remember. Most of their warriors seem to be running 25k to 27k health. So they must be using a good amount of PVT, and knowing how important toughness is, I doubt they are running berserkers trinkets.

I’m running a mix of knights and PVT as a hammer warrior. 2300 toughness just under 26k health with food buffs.

Group dynamics make a big difference also. If you are running in a group that’s keeping fury up constantly, your need for extra crit from gear isn’t as great.

i run vitality on my main equipment, and toughness on my accessories, i think it makes for a decent balance.

PowerVitalityThougness Gear, all the way. You’ll enjoy WvWvW a lot with this. Just get ur zerker trinkets and Jewels and go with GS and Hammer smashing faces. It’s mega satisfying when u CC till death a Squishy thief.

I used to go with zerker gear, and believe me, despite the tankiness of this gear, you still do a decent dmg

I’d suggest just going Knights – Power, Precision, Toughness. Warriors already have a high base health pool already. A lack of Precision on gear means a really low Critical Chance, which in turn reduces your overall dps.

You could do the same with Knights, and gain a lot more damage in the process.

In every build? Mobility.

You want Toughness more though if you already know how to make Signet of Stamina and Warhorn + Warhorn trait work.
