Guild Wars 2

I see that most people are building:

~20k health
3k+ attack
~2.5k Armor
~50% crit
~30%-80% crit damage

The builds vary a lot. What are the minimum necessary stats? I noticed that most guards all build over 3k armor. Why do warriors only need 2k-2.5k? Also, why don’t people build over 20k-22k health?

Different role’s. Guardian’s run high armor because people use them as bunkers. Warrior’s don’t have viable bunker builds so they spec for damage.

Most of those Guards were damage though, they had 50% crit and 3k attack

Is this PvP or PvE or WvW?

I know PvE and WvW are different, but I’d like to know for each

Warrior’s don’t have a real viable form of sustain. The theory crafters are always attempting to find a solution for this. But by design warriors excel at either Lock a single target down with cc (mace, hammer shield type builds) Or kill him faster than he can kill you ie greatsword, axe, sword builds.

in wvw situation you could ever go sniper class and run FULL glass cannon and just f1 people into the downed state. playing a more backline warrior. The builds vary to some degree but warriors excel at hitting for high numbers, the builds capitalize on that. Warrior as it stands now it’s a very vestal class for builds.

These build are attempting to deal as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time as possible. Because of traits like endure pain and the shields long block time the warrior excels at breaking through the enemy lines wvw and destroying squishes while soaking up enough damage to down two-three people before going down yourself. Also because of the high hp pool going full damage doesn’t really have any draw backs.

So 40 stuns at the most for 2 seconds each if nobody stuns something that’s already stunned or has stability… that’s not exactly insta win. It sounds like you’re forgetting the aoe cap. Two seconds into the fight you now have 8 0 adrenaline warriors vs 50 people, 40 of them a little beat up. You also magic’ed yourself into earthshaker range.
