Guild Wars 2

As many of us who play warrior in SPvP atm know that our build choices are pretty limited if you want to as effective as possible in a PUG environment. Most commonly now we see healing shouts with full soldiers runes for it’s survivability. Unfortunately, this survivability also comes with much less damage. My version of the build focuses on gaining Might and keeping might to deal a bit more damage without having to spec out of Defense and Tactics. It’s not insane damage like glass cannon GS but with the 10 stacks of vulnerability and at LEAST 8 stacks of might at any one time. I still can’t decide if I like Mighty Defense or Inspiring Shouts more. Mighty Defense is AWESOME if you use it at the right time, in a brawl you could find yourself with a full stack of Might especially on thieves/100b wars. I use sword/shield set because I feel sword is a great distance closer so I can use 3 shouts and still be mobile and have a counter to burst.

So, what variants do you guys use? I’m looking for maybe a more damage oriented Hammer build because all the CC isn’t worth jack if NO ONE ON YOUR TEAM FOCUSES ON THE GUY YOU HAVE LAID OUT ON HIS BACK! deep breath. I like SPvP but hate it because of the people on it who think 1v1 performance is the most important thing. The need to reward much more glory for wins so much that people actually go for it.

^Shout Hammer Build (‘Avalanche Build’).

Also contains my DPS Variant.

I have seen yours before, I do like it. Is mine OK build wise? I’m honestly not as good at build making yet as I was in GW1, as even there Wars had more viable builds that could counter the meta.

I think its fine. I wouldnt trait so hard into blocking mechanics if you’re not taking the Shield trait in defense to reduce skill CD’s by 20%

I’d grab the 9% crit chance in tactics, and then embrace the pain instead of reflect missiles.

Yah, I considered that, it’s just so much fun reflecting Killshot or rangers attacks. I used to run the shield trait but I felt that the extra dmg when you stun them is a nice little burst.

this is my build http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIQQNAnZSncOEFcyDOPwEhAApwKuMFKSVAu0jyQLNA;TkAqsMZJyymlLLZWLLGYMJA (need to copy/paste)

using axe/mace and hammer with maximum shout synergie (remouve condition,heal,adrenaline)

im using full knight set/berserker accessory/power/vit/toughness weapon/full solider rune/sigil that give 30%chance on crit to steal hp(axe) 5% crit chance(mace) and aoe fire on crit (hammer).im always keeping a bow in my bag for WvW.

with that build i get decent dmg,perma fury and few stack of might,lot of remouve condition,decent def,lot of controle skill,hudge adrenaline regeneration and i can switch easily weapon by just swiching few trait without the need to reset them (longbow range/warhorn cd reduction/sheild trait/mace trait etc)

its a pve/dungeon/WvW build only.im not using this in spvp

p.s:i currently think about doing some modification to it but im not sure.was thinking droping defence to 10 and put 10 in stregth to get the trait that increase axe crit dmg by 10% but i would lose the hammer trait….

I still kinda dislike how the sword clashes a bit with the idea of the build but savage leap really makes up for it in terms of mobility, not to mention you have a lot of people bringing stun breaks and stability as a response to these builds so having a sword and some condi dmg isn’t terrible tho mace could be nice if you maybe replace a shout for Bulls. I suppose that you could also do something like this:

Less mobility but you have another CC with mace 3 AND another block to give you more Might. That lack or leap or any sort of gap closing skills means you probably won’t be chasing or escaping which is what my issue with it is. You could sub OMM with bulls but then you are removing some healing/cond removal. I’ll test and see if it works.
