Warrior Knight Build.
i used to run mostly knights gear with omnomberry ghost. but since the nerf of omnomberry health stealing this doenst work so well anymore. it was good sustain from high armor and critical rate. for every critial hit you got like 300-400 health and high armor made you take low damage. but now its nerfed with internal cooldown and not viable anymore imho. glasscannon or full tank are all i play these days.. sometimes a bit of condition fun. my knight’s set is sitting in bank since this nerf.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
so tanky is the most recommended, if so what you think about this build:

This is what I am running
Its 2 knights pieces the Top and the bottom.
You can go all out knights if you want but there is a point where the investment in toughness doesn’t give as much returns.
Toughness is the main stat for Knights Gear.
Power and precision are secondary. Compared to Berserker where Power is the main stat. The amount of critical chance you get from knights is the same as you get from Berserkers gear.
If you want to read about toughness a bit more
Its really good.
Knights is like a bit less offensive while providing defense. We already have the highest base HP so this gear basically makes that HP more effective. It wont however do anything for you against conditions that where PVT is a bit better dealing with bleeds and poisons etc.
Depending on your build you can and will do great damage.

High Fractals with this build.
High damage, no roots to attack, a ton of invulnerability tanking for team.
Keep same armor and trinkets, but use Omnomberry Loaf instead of Pie for WvWvW.
Also trait 0/0/30/30/10 for WvWvW w/ Hammer + Sword/Warhorn (LB for defense).
I ran full knight armor once, and I wasn’t satisfied to be honest. I expected higher survivability or at least good damage. As someone said, it’s primary toughness , but seems like when you encounter so many foes, you start to feel that toughness doesn’t play it’s role .
I recommend zerk gear. yes, most of you will say glass cannon and such..But the idea behind it : kill before you get killed.
The high damage amount allows you to finish your foe quickly and leaving you with enough hp to take another one. Moreover, with good traits in defense you can actually feel tanky also.

Solo in WvW as a warrior? Well in the highly unlikely event that you only stumble across one other player, going zerker is the only way, get in and kill them quick (maintaining that PvE mentality) before you need to heal. Our best heal skill heals us for about half our health and you’ll be dead before you can use it again. Stumble across two or more other players? Who cares you’re dead anyway.
