Guild Wars 2

Short 7 minute video, just your typical burst warrior. Has a nice 1v1 with Korosh.i (apprently his name gets censored? lol) at the end though.

All info needed in the description box

great video, i guess im into Axe/Sh , i use Sw/Sh but man the amount of damage you put is amazing plus good survivability basically forcing most of your enemies on the defensive.

also your omelet recipe is fantastic xD

Nice vid! I use same weps, slightly different build. Axe/Shield is a blast, no? I love the interrupts and judging when best to block…makes combat more fun for sure. Keep posting and I’ll keep watching.

Only time I’ve not liked the music in any of your videos. I wish I had 2 more more hands so I could give it 4 thumbs down.

Yup! Really enjoying axe. I’ve always played with hammer/gs but axe feels so refreshing cause of it’s dmg pressure.

I will try to post atleast 1 minitage a week.

Thanks for your support

Thats a shame, to receive thumbs down cause of the music. I was under the impression that people watch videos for their content and not th music which can be muted and replaced to whatever you want. Guess i’m ignorant lol.

Ill try use more mainstream music in the future. Thanks for taking the time to watch it though.

Bro obvious joke was obvious <3

I main a mesmer but have been making an effort to play my other classes in WvW more because a) I don’t want to be a one dimensional player and b) what was the point of getting all of them to 80 if I never play them? lol. I watched your video and was instantly inspired to bring my War into WvW for the first time. I’ve been having a blast with your build. I look forward to seeing more videos from you.

I had a question for you (and anyone else reading this who wants to answer). I noticed in your previous videos that you were using x/sh + hammer instead of GS. I’m trying to get a good idea of what the advantages/disadvantages are for picking one over the other (GS vs Hammer).

If I may chime in. Maybe Scarlet will agree, but Gs/Hammer make a great combi, lots of fluidity between the two, which is what I run. Axe/sh and GS just go together very well for the same reason, mobility+dmg, same reason Hammer is best paired with sw/sh, they compliment each other with immobs, stuns, stun combo ability and lockdown, however sw/sh and GS also works for immob stackinG + HB. Such as LB/GS pair very nicely too. Warr offers many many good weapon combinations. You literally can’t go wrong.

Anything in wvw that allows you as a roamer to have great dmg, CC and or the ability to have mobility, is a a great choice.

It seems like Axe/Sh is what all the hipster warriors are using now. Pretty soon itll become mainstream. Just like hammer.

Great Vid man, as always.

But I’m pretty sure you didn’t have ‘burst mastery’ trait for the whole vid, your adrenaline does not fill up after eviscerate.,unlike in the build you posted… is it on purpose?

I used to play hammer/gs alot, you can create a good deal of damaging combinations with the 2. I mainly took GS for the mobility though. Also before ArenaNet fixed sigil of paralyzation you could Earthshaker and land almost a full 100b chain. Unfortunately you can’t do that anymore. I decided to go for sword/shield because they changed the auto attack chain and, in my eyes, buffed final thrust. Still maintained good mobility through savage leap, an extra stun and a 3second block and not to forget our burst skill, flurry. I think sword/shield works best with hammer as it compliments your hard cc with soft cc when using your sword/shield.

Yup you’re right, thats my fault, did not realise that build editor wasnt updated. I replaced burst mastery with heightened focus as i believe the overall more crits is far more beneficial than an extra 7% dmg on my burst skill. As for the adrenaline. I gain so much adrenaline in a short time span through cleansing ire and axes’ fast auto attacks that i haven’t missed it

Thanks for your support!

Yeah I originally meant to ask why do you use burst mastery if you don’t burst so often.
So we agree on that, but IMO if you don’t need burst mastery just make another build:
30/0/25/0/15 (or 30/0/20/0/20) is a powerhouse for every GS build.
You will get much more damage than your current build – 300 power >> 15% crit dmg, 10% on GS, 3% always, 15% dmg >>> 15% cit chance, dodge rolls…
The only utility you will lose is ‘Defy Pain’ , which personally i find to be very meh, but you will get extra dodges form ‘building momentum’ so no real lose on survivability.
Strength line also give accesses to ‘Death from above’ which is very good for wvw roaming, or the trait for plain vitality boost.
Of course if you do not want to give up ‘Defy Pain’ a 20/0/30/0/20 build is also a good choice and still stronger then yours.

tl;dr:

Hmmm, i’ll give it a shot. My build doesn’t revolve around GS though, I mainly use it for the mobility and the occasional body cleave through 100b.

Destruction of the Empowered is also such a good trait as on average, people have around 3 boons which is a 9% dmg boost. I also think giving up 15% crit chance is HUGE, as i’ve noticed a clear dmg increase the moment I replaced Burst Mastery with it.

But i’ll give it a shot and i’ll tell you more about it later.

Kind of random but chest armor did you use throughout the video, with the cloak-like appendage? It looked really cool.

But ax/shield has always been mainstream since beta 2 o.o

Nonetheless, I enjoyed the 1v3 guild group that you did in the video twice. Nice interrupt on heals, shield block on guardian down state #2, eviscerating at low hp.

Ah I think you mean my helmet. It was a limited time skin on the Gem Store called “Grenth Hood”. So far it’s the closest thing to having a cape/cloak atm in GW2.

Kay I gave the 30/0/25/0/15 a try. And I will wholeheartedly agree that in almost every 1v1 situation this build wrecks. However as soon as a 2nd person added in, I found myself dying so much more that I went back to the original 0/0/30/10/30 build that I was running after a couple of hours.

The 2 endure pains combined with Desperate Power is just so amazing. Whilst it is a very situational trait, it can save my life and has great synergy with Defy Pain, and the cooldown on Defy Pain isn’t all that bad either.

Wow thnx for the info, you really did some homework. Yeah I guess I never thought about that synergy between ‘Defy Pain’ and ‘Desperate Power’.
Only ‘problem’ is heal sig might heal u more than u wanted going above 25% health when you didn’t wanted.
The best use I seen for this trait is from ‘T3hSanny’ , amazing warrior:

It’s kinda old before some nerfs (when the limit was 50%) but you can see he takes healing surge, and purposely NOT using it, just to get that dmg buff. Now that is some high risk / high reward…

?????????? i kill u np
