Guild Wars 2

I am still leveling my warrior, but looking towards the future. I play quite a bit of WvW and have been running with banners. Sometimes it is a small group, others it is the zerg. But anyways, I was enjoying banners because of the benifits to the group and I have perma swiftness. Any suggestions on the build or maybe another build that might be better for my style? Typically I use GS + S/WH

Unless something has changed to have high healing power to make banners work best, you have to sacrifice physical damage. Physical damage requires power, precision,critical damage. In the case of Condition damage it only requires condition damage. So the solution for high healing builds is go condition/healing power.

But even with condition/healing power type of build it is still not as much damage as a power based build. No way a healing build is going to be the ultimate Damage build becasue it makes too many sacrifices but it will still allow you to do damage. Where as clerics the power based healing build is very gimpy becasue it lacks precision and crit power. and only has power.

Apothecary specs in my opinion make the best healing builds. Because it enable you to have good healing power and still do enough damage to kill another player.

Well actually condi warrior works quite well in WvW. That beeing said, going for healing power still isn’t good, since the benefits are very small and wont fit into a condi build (apart from Healing signet of course). You wont deal as much damage or control as a hammer warrior, but you can play a lot more tanky and pretty much own 1v1 or more like you can with hammer.
