Guild Wars 2

Preface: My warr is only lvl 43 at the moment and is my 4th alt. Most of my experience on my alts is based off of dungeon running, and a tiny bit of WvW.

I see all these threads about the warrior’s terrible survivability, and after looking at stuff on paper compared to the other classes I’ve taken to 80, does this trait (Building Momentum) : Not really help, or is it just not used? Because it seems AMAZING to me. Like sigil of energy good, and I hear people raving about that. Other classes endurance traits seem to get overwritten by vigor, but for warrior (and thief) if you happen to have vigor your endurance trait still benefits you. Please, educate this warrior to be.

In PVE with an Axe/Warhorn 20/0/0/20/30 Build I love the perma-Vigor and +50% endurance every 8sec. In WvW and also with other Weapons you won’t use your burst-skill that much.

Building momentum is awesome trait indeed. Sadly it doesn’t help much with warrior’s poor survivability.

I don’t get that much use out of it because I’m more one of those “sit on the adrenaline” type warriors, but it could be useful if you burst quite often.

It’s a very down played trait.

Like mentioned, there are traits that boost damage and heal you when you sit on your endurance so there will be a class of Warriors who don’t get much use out of a trait that requires you to use Burst skills.

On the other hand, if you use weapons that have good return on using burst skills like Hammer, Longbow, Axe and in certain circumstances Sword and Rifle, then you can shift your burst use around to accommodate refilling your Endurance if you need to.

I really like this trait. Getting something good out of it actually requires some decent play. Properly used it’s a life-saver.

It’s a good trait but unfortunatly, I play Rifle (M) / Sword&Shield (s), and my Flurry (F1) doesn’t benefit from this minor trait, and my Rifle Killshot is kinda slow, making this trait hard to use in many situations. :’(

yeah, one of the most underrated warrior traits

That’s the problem isn’t it? Both Berserker’s Power and Heightened Focus reward you more for NOT using your adren. If you’re using a GS as your primary you won’t use your burst and if you did want to get the most out of say a warhorn and constant http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNBHhFaE0J2tGSGiJOAYUUUQqHt5WcJFixGA-TsAg0CnIwRhjDHDOScs4MIY9x8DA

This still doesn’t increase survivability that much and with the current condition heavy meta in PvP…good luck.
