Guild Wars 2

Let me start by saying my warrior is only level 22 and I am still learning the class so please forgive my ignorance.

I have seen it a few times posted on these forums and others that for PVE leveling any weapon is fine until level 30,then go GS and never look back.

I’d like to know why this is.

I found the GS boring and the HB skill misses a lot with mobs moving constantly.

After testing many weapons I am currently running dual axe/rifle and find it fun and am able to kill 3-4 mobs at a time with ease. If at level 30 or beyond GS is really that much better then I might have to consider switching.

personally iv found with the proper traits might stacking is easy with a gs, i can get easy 25 stacks for burst attacks, and try long bow , my not seem powerful at low levels but at high levels its very powerful

So if I go GS what type of build should I look at for PVE?

Don’t listen to ppl that tell you GS is the only thing to use past 30lv. You will never learn if you just take a build + wep from the net and stick with ti.

There are a lot of options for a war – GS axe/axe axe/mace sword/mace mace/shield

I think when I hit 30 or 40 I’ll give GS another shot as well as some other options and see what I like best.

GS only becomes really good if you put 20 points in Arms to get Forceful Greatsword trait. Without the trait, Axe/Axe is better than GS. But, the most important is: Try all the weapons combination, and pick up the one you like the most. GS is great? Yes, but dual Axe is great as well. It basically depends on how you make your build, and how you adapt yourself to the weapon.
