Guild Wars 2

I’m back to GW2 but I think I remain a rather crap build maker. I’m trying to play an hybrid build that mixes condition and normal damage.

I came out with 2 options:

1. more defensive one with healing shouts

2. less HPs but overall more offensive

Can someone help me tweak the 2 builds I posted? Do I have to ditch them or is there something I can use,

I assume these will be used for roaming, not zerging? If you’re zerging, I’d just go with the shouts warrior build here: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Shouts_Frontliner. A hybrid build won’t do well in zerg vs zerg because your physical damage won’t be as high as it could be and your subpar condition damage will just be cleansed.

For solo roaming, you can pretty much run with anything as long as you know the strengths and limitations of the build. I’d probably go with the second one and add some toughness in, because once you burn Dolyak Signet and drop below 90% health, you’ll only have 2.3k – 2.4k toughness, about the same as a zerker warrior. Make sure you have a Sigil of Battle for might.

If you want to roam in a small group, consider a more traditional build like Hammer/GS or even a full condi shouts warrior. Imo a hybrid build doesn’t pack enough damage to be a threat in small group fights.

sorry to be a pain: how would that build look like?

something like this?

Ah, I mistyped. I meant a condi warrior, not a condi shouts warrior. You can run shouts if you want, but you’d be forced into the Tactics line and lose out on a lot of other great traits for a condi warrior. I imagine a shouts condi warrior would be something like 0/2/6/6/0 with apothecary gear, but keep in mind that healing power doesn’t scale well with Healing Signet or Adrenal Health and you’ll be losing out on movement speed, Fast Hands, and a lot of condi damage compared to a 0/6/4/0/4 condi warrior in full dire.

thank Tien: crystal clear!!!
