Guild Wars 2

For awhile I’ve been running a Condition set on my Warrior to celebrate my Jormag’s Breath with a S/S combo.

But now I want to run a serious equipment set as I level up in Fractals. How should I gear up? Should I stay Condition and put a Sigil of Earth on my Greatsword, Rifle, and Longbow? Or should I go full Berserker?

How should I gear my Warrior for dungeons? Thanks!

I’ve seen a lot of posts here that have said (in general i.e. non build specific) start by running knights accessories with Ruby Jewels to get the best of both worlds until you get comfortable with the dungeons and the encounters.

I run GS/rifle for fractals – I put condition builds (S/WH) aside a while ago and concentrated on doing direct damage.As I got experience, I went full zerkers with the ascended pieces as I acquired them. I swap between 2 armor sets (Knights and Zerkers) depending on what encounter I am doing.

What you run is really your choice, if you stay conditions, I’m thinking rampagers gear would be a better fit. I’m sure other people will also have advice.

I am curious what other people recommend. Personally I’m leaning towards Glass Cannon, but still not sure.

Also, does shout warrior benefit much from Healing Power?

Yes Healing Power increase it’s effectiveness. About S/S condition build. Issue with it is conditions damage < direct damage. Not to mention that if there is another bleed stacker in group your dps will be even lower.

So if you want awesome damage, you’re better off with either GS or axe/axe or the now very popular axe/mace. Start with knight gear till you’re comfortable with it, then go to full berserk. Also get omnomberry pies, they are the means to become godlike in knight/berserker gear. Hope this helps.

Edit: I believe Anet will eventually balance condition damage so it will be on paar with direct damage but for now you’re better of with the latter.

I fully agree with soeki above me I run similar setup and i really dont die while holding very high dmg.

Swords were fun though but sadly they are not nearly as effective as an axe axe or GS

So I’m down to Healing Power and Critical sets. Any further advice?

Im also new to the Warrior, and i will run Full Berserk Armor and Jewels with Dolyak runes.
