Warrior Sword/Shield + Rifle help!!!
Sw / Sh + GS? You’ll be very mobile, although majority of damage comes from GS though

Without knowing all your traits it’s kind of hard to help improve it. You should make it on buildcraft and share the link.
know some people using this build by CookMETEnder in higher lvl fracts and it seems to run rather well.
They use axe/shield longbow but it will probably work fairly well with sword and rifle.
Be careful what you wish for, Anet might just give it to you “HoT”

Here it is:
Theres a reason why you wrote your first line. Theres s/s builds im sure, but who are you believing when you say its “Good”. Yourself, or an entire community built on trial and error?

Well by “good” i mean that it works for them have a decent attack and still not be too weak in dungeons, fractals etc. And i wrote that beacuse where ever i look people say dont use that, use GS, use Axe, use Warhorn etc like it’s impossible to play with this combination.
I major problem with your build is the lack of DPS. You are all defense and no offense. If you want to keep the healing shout viable you will need add more attack power.
I would try something like this including the food that is listed.
I always carry a multiple weapons when running Fracts and Dungeons. GS/Axe/Sword/Shield/ L.Bow/and Rifle are always in my pack cause some fight are easier using certain weapons.

I personally run a tanky sword sword/sword shield build that works pretty well, but let’s be honest here the off hand sword is for style points. About the only use I get out of it is impaling a foe I can’t quite catch to keep them in combat, and reflecting projectiles with riposte and the reflect trait (reflecting with that and the shield is quite a good combo).
In PvP it works pretty well if you’re around allies who have range, but really falls off if the enemy can out range you. PvE however it’s great, there are plenty of consumable weapons you can use in those situations where you just cannot fight in melee. I suggest either the Hylek Blowgun (which can be used in WvW) or something like Jezza’s Flamethrower (can’t confirm if that one works in WvW or not).

Here’s a video by a player named DONTAIN that I found VERY useful for speccing into sword main hand.
All credit to him btw, he’s great.
But OP remember, sword/rifle is almost 100% of the time going to have to be bleed damage focused in order to do ANY amount of decent damage, and in s/tPvP that’s near to useless with all the AoE condition removal 50-60% of the classes have in this game, so if you do go through with this continue to stick to PvE and get a longbow for WvW (large scale fights) or even just have a decent amount of crit damage for the rifle (which is also a bad build for s/tPvP).
P.S. I hate GS as well, 90% of warriors are using it and it’s so boring to play in my opinion :P
