Guild Wars 2

Hi guys…. soon to be warrior here(just need to collect more tomes to get to 80 instantly)…
I’ve been playing the game for a long time now.. I’ve played with Ranger,Ele,Thief and I really wanted to play the warrior…

I have an idea on using GS + zerker gear..
although I got no knowledge of using the profession (only fighting against it)…

Can you guys give me opinions on what gear to use pvp/wvw/pve
what weapons should i swap into went I use GS as my first weapon..
sigils and runes to use??…. Thank you so much…

Not sure you re talking about wvw or pve or pvp.

If it is about pvp, the position of Warrior now is probably lowest position in fact. Only ShoutBow will work in spvp if you want to get higher winning rate. The reason is that if you run zerker warrior now you will get rekt by dd cele eles or blind spam thieves. Well, you might probably win blind spam thieves if you are god skilled, but never win dd cele eles even if you are god.

I literally do not recommend zerker stance warrior in pvp for now until warrior get some buffs for above reasons. At least settler warrior won’t get rekt nor can kill dd ele though.

You can get shoutbow build and its video at my twitch address below.

Thank you for the reply and info… be sure to check that out…
any info would do whether pvp, pve or wvw…
I literally got ZERO knowledge about warriors….(except when fighting against them)…

Not really. None of the classes are bottom tier, everything atm is really useful for the team. It’s just that D/D ele is just too powerful atm. On Warrior you just have to be good at simple rotations and you have to be good on stun lock builds which require high casting times.

People complaining about Warrior “sucking” was never good at any build that wasn’t hambow or shoutbow anyways. I wouldn’t find them credible at all.

Not sure of wvw, but i guess shinryukyu is a warrior who is well-known as famous wvw warrior streamer. Maybe you gotta go there and get build.

lol I literally have no idea for PvE. Sorry for that..

For pve you should use GS + Axe/Mace, if you wanna go full zerker. Some Banners for better team support
SPvP GS + Sw/Shield for great mobility and survivability or GS/LB or GS/H for more control.
For WvW GS + Sw/Shield or LB. Could be Rifle too for solo roaming. But there are so many combinations …

Thank you for the input… It would be surely helpful when I start playing warrior ..

PS.
Warrior’s Hundred Blades is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO kittenSSSSS combined with legendary!!

oh i am sorry i have to change my statement.

If you are god skilled, you can kill Blind spam thief and dd cele ele as zerker stance warrior. However, Zerker stance warrior is hardest build for warrior users in fact. If you look for noob-friendly build that is also known as very decent since you are just casual player, then use shoutbow.

is GS & LB viable for warrior in wvw and pve??
could anyone show me an example of your warrior’s build…
for comparison and basis.. TY

Yup. Str-Def-Tac and all zero works. You can also tank it up with cav and valk gear while using an an Intel sigil.

Not sure about other builds, but the all zerk one is on metabattle.

EDIT: Oops, I meant Disc not Tac

pretty sure that gs/lb is viable everywhere. however you need to be veey skilled to use that build though.

strength, defense, discipline
Berserker stance, frenzy, balanced stance, rampage, healing aignet.

Maybe like this.

The problem with LB now is that it’s almost purely a utility weapon. The changes made to it make it almost purely hybrid. Also, Pin Down is pretty meh now considering that unless you’re condi bombing most can cleanse the immob before you can capitalize on it.

You CAN do well with Greatbow, but honestly it feels like a shadow of its former self.

Also, please take anything BlackTruth says with a grain of salt. His builds are basically the definition of one trick pony which he considers “skill.” He also suggested some changes to signets that was totally laughable recently and would of have their CDs upped to like 120+ seconds.

I personally enjoy sword/shield as my main weaponset. I have lb on swap usually for wvw walls and such. I find that MH sword’s damage is not as bad as perceived when using the Arms line. The bleeding stacks, vuln stacking from rending strikes, the 5% damage to bleeding foes, and I like Deep Strike over Blademaster trait as BM is a bit much(and it synergized with LB swap); and its damage is not bad at all.

I take down the heavier golems in heart of the mists faster with a sword/shield traited than an axe shield with the overrated Strength line and I’m only 1 second or so behind a GS. The shield gives me a stun and a reflect the GS doesn’t.

The other lines—Defense (shield mastery, Endure Pain or Armored Attack and Cleansing Ire traits (synergize with LB))and Discipline (warrior sprint, Brawler’s Recovery, and Heightened Focus traits) are great as well. I find Heightened Focus to be a great GM trait on the Disc line for damage.

For heals I like healing signet—I have signets traited from the much maligned Arms line. I also like For Great Justice (works with Deep Strike trait from Arms), Dolyak signet—again traited, and Frenzy for dps ( this works well with the Heightened Focus trait). For Elite I usually do Rampage, Banner or Signet (traited and works with Deep Strike from Arms line).

For dungeons I may change to a cheese PS build but I don’t care for those. Anyway you won’t find this on metabattle (cookiecutter) but it works, and it’s original.

Oh, Sinister gear is good for this. You’ll be stacking bleeds and those big ticks give you better sustained damage overall and cause your target to condi cleanse. In pve your condis will just stack and melt the enemy.

PVE use GS Sword/Warhorn. Mobility is key, so get the blademaster trait to lower CD on sword 2, spam that to get around, spam swiftness. Full zerk, strength, discipline, arms.

I use this for roaming the open world, as well as silverwastes farming. I no longer dungeon as the profits are so low in comparison once I mastered the silverwastes. But if you’re bored and want to screw around, change discipline to tactics and go phalanx strength for dungeon runs.

There’s not much to say in terms of ‘tips’, mainly just play it, experience. But for something to keep in mind would be; unless with bow, don’t care about how many bars of adrenaline u have, it’s honestly not that important. 2 bar adrenaline is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from twice as good as 1 bar, in some cases irrelevant, for example using Earthshaker in or initiater of a cc chain, the duration doesn’t matter, Same with arcing slice, the dmg doesn’t vary with ammount of adrenaline.

The build I run:

Hoelbraek/Strength up to u, double endure pain if u wanna be lame :P

Do u run this as a WvW build (full berserk)?

I´m searching for a new build for roaming in WvW to test it, because i don´t play warrior very often.

WvWvW Backline Warrior:

The main idea is to give out 21 stacks of Might before engaging using utilities then providing support from behind using LB. Sword will give you some mobility and WH will cleanse off 2 conditions and cripple, slow, immobilize.

Blasts from LB and WH can be used in water fields for AoE heals or fire fields for additional Might. AoE Might from FGJ and fire blasts are twice as effective to your allies because they get blasted then they get another from your might sharing trait.

Ye, mainly for wvw, but, in spvp also, cuz I’m tired of going lame mode, I.e passive Endure pain and rampage – also, zerker 4 life =)

Instead of Insta 80 why don’t you just level your Warrior and learn the mechanics of the profession?
