Champion Phantom – Legionnaire – Genius – Magus
Wvw build without greatsword
CONS :
-Poor condition removal
you cannot counter an P/D thief or an necro with condition removal once at 40 seconds
- Lack of CC
except your sword burst skill , you mis CC
-low mobility
one gap closer and no ranged weapon
I belive your build is good in zerg vs zerg but vs roamers you got low chance with this build
greatsword I think is probably the best weapon if you want to roam. you may be hard pressed to escape in certain situations if you only have your sword as mobility. Mobility is king when it comes to roaming IMO.
You do have nice toughness but a lack if endurance regeneration will hurt you a lot. I don’t know about you but I cannot live without any source of enhanced endurance regen, it really helps alot. Probably switching FGJ for Signet of Stamina will help you alot, and it gives you an extra source of condition wipe so you are somewhat taking care of two problems right there. I’d probably spec into restorative strength if you are going 20 into str, and perhaps getting vit somewhere else. Perhaps maybe switching your food to omnom loaf bread to make up for your vit (quite pricey but worth it I think).
Like Rayya said, having only one gap closer with no ranged weapon, plus a lack of reliable condition removal may result in you getting kited to death by certain classes. Especially classes that can apply chill. And probably struggling against competent necros. You do have OK CC with your build, a few cripples, one immobilize, KD and a stun.
Obviously the biggest determinant is how well you play with your said build, I can’t really knock it if you are successful with it, I am just giving some of my experiences. Aside from the d/d eles, condition thieves and mesmers that give any type of warrior a run for their money, A bunker/retaliation/greatsword Guardian and condition necros might give you some trouble, but like I said, it is mostly how you play that is a determinant.
