So. I’ve seen ROM pkaying with a build like this

And it looked quite good after some try. I tried to get a personalized version and it seems a bit better. What do you think about it?

With the right timing of “sigil of intelligence” CD, GS F1 and LB 3# can really burst your damage quite good, taking much more damage then a zerker, close to an hambow.

Opinions?

It can be okay but not stronger than Axe/Mace when you’re good at Warrior.

ofc is greatsword stronger. there is a reason why rom and tarcis play sometimes with greatsword and never with axe mace.

and it doesn’t matter whether you are are good or not. if you play bad builds you will get outplayed easily. in EU even a 900+ random who is able to play at least a bit would outplay you.
It’s funny that you always claim, other people would fail at theorycrafting allthough you are playing kittenty builds on yourself. playing non meta builds doesn’t make you good, viable or anything.
ofc I don’t want to say you are a bad player but your builds defintely aren’t. you would be probably 10 times better if you wouldn’t play always selfmade builds

Axe/Mace vs Greatsword?
Axe/Mace:

  • № 1 -good damage
  • № 2 -4 % more damage
  • № 3- 4 s single target range cripple with low damage
  • № 4- 10% more damage, good damage
  • № 5- range knocdown for 2 s, good damage
  • Burst- single target heavy burst- leap, easy to land

Greatsword

  • № 1- decent damage, vulnerabilty
  • № 2- very good damage but somewhat hard to land
  • № 3- decent damage, only warrior evade from skill, mobilty and combo finsher
  • № 4- range aoe cripple that pierce and can hit twice for decent damage
  • № 5- 1200 range mobilty with good damage
  • Burst: easy to land, decent damage aoe (5 targets), better damage against targets below 50% hp

IN MY OPINION gratsword wins. Although axe damege is sometimes easier to land ( axe № 1 chain vs gs № 2) , it have more hard cc ( Mace № 5) and damage boost ( vulnerabilty from № 2 and № 4) GS have more mobilty, more aoe, you can stack might with it and gs № 3 is IMO one of the best and fun warrior skills- use it agains wall or when immobilize and spin to victory

it’s not simple like that. if you play a berserk warrior you have a certain role and task.
with axe / mace you have literally 0 mobility, neither you can engange important targets nor you can disengage fast enough. not to mention that a burst class has to roam between points, maybe on legacy it works but on kyhlo you are probably more walking than actually doing sth.
I give preference to every mesmer, thief, fresh air ele and power ranger than to an axe mace burst warrior. those classes are just 10 times better in a burst role than a warrior, who got no ports / blinks, no mobility an no opportunity to engange / disengage at all.

No no, obviously Defiant Stance, Bulls Charge, Rampage and Axe/Mace are the way to go. Those warriors know nothing.
