Hi all.

Ive recently begun to play as my warrior on a more frequent basis. Its a welcome change after playing as the same profession for ages.

Atm, I generally only use a Greatsword and sometimes reach for a Longbow.

What other weapons would you guys suggest to use on weapon swap?

Metabattle suggests an Axe/ Mace set for Fractals, etc… and a Mace/ Shield for raids?

On the other hand, is there any logic why I should not just stick to the Greatsword?

With Great sword, i highly recommend either Rifle, or Axe/shield. Just for fun i’d Also suggest Hammer, as it can be great fun, but i’d never run it as a main unless i was in WVW Front Line

From your post, i seem to gather you don’t take enough advantage of your weapon swaps, so whatever you choose i’d definatly suggest swapping weapon every 5 seconds or so.

It is for PvE, right? The GS is king indeed, every crit provides might which you share with your team mates, camping GS most of the time isn’t bad at all I think. Now, some encounters require more than damage (mostly CC, maybe a block here and there), which is why you’ll find yourself adjusting your offhand set depending on what situation you’re facing.

In WvW and PvP, it’s a bit different – fights are more unpredictable, you need more flexibility to manage. You don’t seek as much as maximizing damage, than securing hits and avoiding incoming damage. In that perspective, the offhand set becomes more than circumstantial, and your overall gameplay changes completely.

I usually use Mace/Warhorn on swap for condi clears (Quick Breathing) and additional CC / Block if required. Axe/Mace for fractal bosses that doesnt require extra condi cleansing, Rifle for when you just have to range.
