WvW Pain Train Sniper
I chose hammer as the alternate weapon for the defensive ability. It is not a mobile build! The hammer shuts down the enemy so they can’t fight back while you finish them off….if they have stability And mobility the build is not going to do well. Stick to the zerg as a hammer warrior but pick off people when you get the chance or just stay back as a ranged sniper. Axe/shield or Sw/Sh or GS of course all have their place.
Just wanted to throw this build out there for anyone that cares. I was just farting around with a making Star Wars “Storm Trooper” when I put this build together. It is a sustainable Front line build that can withstand being in the front line hammer train, pick off annoying back liners, snipe commanders, snipe low health enemies and has proven successful many times in 1v1 today. The build revolves around the idea of how thieves build tanky but maintain high dmg with the 100% Crit dmg from stealth. Warrior uses the 100% Crit Chance for burst skills. So I just put together a build with mostly power and added in ferocity as much as felt was necessary. Add in the bloodlust stacks and guard stacks and you a tanky build with very high burst potential.
Of course there are an endless variations of this build to either further max out dps or further increase condition cleansing but this is the general idea. Running in WvW, I can Killshot people for 8k-15.6k yet I maintain large amounts of defense and CC. The build is of course highly vulnerable to certain types of enemies but it is still tons of fun to play!
Just wanted to be a Storm Trooper for a day!
Unless they fixed the 100% crit chance on the one trait, the last time i tested it, it did not work. You should be using intelligence sigils. Only 1 source of vulnerability thru rifle 4. Too much toughness. You should be keeping your distance and or being in the middle of your zerg so you should not really worry about toughness or vitality. also air or fire sigil for the crits with intelligence will be more dps.
while healing sig is standard. If you are maximizing your killshots you may want to be using healing surge and sig of fury.
Currently a few friends and i have been playing 65003 rifle/gs with might on gs maximizing our dmg and the vulnerability on our targets.
Ill also post my StarCraft Ghost build later when i get home for you to take a look at.
