Go Norn or go home is my opinion. Charr in heavy Cultural are pretty sweet as well, though.

Personally I run a 20/0/30/20/0 build with Sword+Warhorn and Hammer.

Sword+Warhorn for giving your roaming party some Swiftness, Hammer for knocking your victims around.

I can do thirty Five-Dolyak Arm Curls.

Do you even lift, bro?

Well, you have two choices really.

You’ve got the more tanky Knight type of armour which gives you Power/Precision/Toughness and you’ve got the more suicidal Berserker type of armour which gives you Power/Precision/Critical Damage. Personally I use Knight armour/weapons and use Berserker accessories (they’re called Ruby rather than Berserker).

Also probably should’ve explained the Traits:

10 Strength: Restorative Strength – most of the time when you need to heal, you will be under fire and most likely afflicted by these Conditions. A solid PvP trait in general. If you plan on falling down cliffs, you can replace it with Death From Above for a reduction in fall damage.
20 Strength: Distracting Strikes – Hammer can really interrupt people, and when they see Confusion damage they either have to waste a Condition Removal ability or start to panic and use their abilities less.
10 Defense: Many options here. Sure-Footed is nice, and so is Embrace The Pain. Go with whatever you feel like.
20 Defense: Merciless Hammer. Obvious Choice.
30 Defense: Now here you can either go Spiked Armor or Defy Pain for automatic immortality. I generally use Spiked Armour and use the Endure Pain ability manually, which is a neat combo if you get a lot of people attacking you.
10 Tactics: Leg Specialist. Works wonders with Hammer’s 3 ability to stop everyone in front of you dead in their tracks. Also works with Sword’s 3.
20 Tactics: Quick Breathing: For almost permanent Swiftness with your Warhorn, as well as some extra Condition Removal.

Another option you may have is sword/warhorn axe/warhorn and riffle/greatsword.

10/25/20/0/15 or 10/25/20/15/0

Both are good depending if you’re more inclined in using one weapon or enjoy switching weapons.

10 – so you can choose between berserker/death from above (helpful when you have to jump from a cliff/or the one where you get away from disables if you use a healing skill)

25 – bleed/rending – helps with sword damage or adding vulnerability and crackshot/greatsword; so you can hit multiple targets with faster cooldown in either riffle/greatsword

20 – embrace pain; so your ultimate gets increases when you get hit and last stand; so you dont’ get knocked about. incidentally; you can use hammer too if you want faster hammer cooldown/more damage.

0 or 15 – more hp/leg cripling skills or none.

15/0- increase critical chance/faster signet cooldown depending on your preference and 15 so your switching will be faster. Or none if you choose to have more hp.

This is the basic build I use since I was a lowbie warrior till 80. Didn’t really have to reset that much unless I’m experimenting.

warhorn – so you can run faster/convert negative boons to positive ones and faster endurance; so you can roll around like a hamster.

sword – so you can decrease the distance between you and your enemy or stop them altogether when using your ultimate skill

axe – so you can bash em fast while rolling/dodging around them.

riffle – i haven’t experienced a more damaging ultimate than the kill shot.

greatsword; well hundred blades says it all.

hammer – controlling cc, keeps enemy at bay.


though i have a shield and mace – my current favorite wvw build.
