Guild Wars 2

I need to get out of bronze league…yeah i know..
any viable carrybuilds for warriors in PvP
shouthealing seems really weak

Berserker GS-A/Sh or GS-M/Sh work very well. Mobility and quick kills carry better in low divisions than trying to support a team that won’t play as a team anyway.

If your team doesn’t cooperate or gets wrecked by an engineer attacking him 3v1 there is really not much you can do. You cannot carry 1v5, if you want to try that play thief and keep on recaping empty points. To carry you need at least 3 people with brain on your team.

Try to duoqueue with a friend playing professions/builds that complement each other. BTW Ranked would be so much better if they would allow to join as premade of 3 and of 5.

If you want to solo carry entire game go guardian, but even guard is weak if your opponents have a tiny idea of what to do, so in most cases it will still depend on your luck.

Just focus on one build, play the best you can and hope for the best, eventually you will get out of bronze. If you think some particular build will help you with that it won’t because you are still susceptible to skilled enemies.

The current system is completely broken, it’s not like in lol where everyone has a particular role to fulfill and if you excel at yours you significantly increase chances for win. In gw this is more like a roulette or tossing a coin.

so the conclusion is that warrior have 0 viable supportbuilds/carry builds?
and warriors should just stick to what we do best, kill kitten?

Yep. If you want to play support go ele or druid.

Support warrior is thing of the past.

warrior is actually one of the good professions to carry in low tiers … You need to be mobile and you need to learn how to make points.

Vove, it’s just not true that you get only useless team members while the enemy team has competency all over the place. It happens, sure, but it also happens the other way around. If you are more competent than the players in your division you will win more than you lose, period.

Yes, I know, I haven’t said that you do. Maybe try to read and understand next time. I slowly carry myself up the rating playing warrior and I have no problem with that, even though in my opinion system is still horrible.

This is what I run pretty solid all around

I play a vanilla physical warrior – good damage with decent mobility, this allows me to be decisive in group fights, and mobile enough to +1 fights or decap nodes. This is enough to win games at the level I currently play at (low gold).

I’m sure it won’t work at higher divisions though. I’ve just started the season and am just going on with the flow, playing a build I enjoy rather than the macebow I abhor.

Some thoughts about the gameplay:

• As a Strength power warrior, dodge into your opponents, and dodge a lot. Your damage output is significantly increased that way.
• Burst as often as you can, even level 1 adrenaline. You’ll build Adrenal Health stacks progressively, and will always have between 10%/20% additional damage with Berserker’s power.
• Hard CC your opponents when they have no aegis/stability/block, then either use Hundred Blades or the Axe AA. You’ll have quickness with the Rage sigil and Heightened Focus (50% HP, which can you sometimes anticipate).
• Call and focus targets in group fights. Identify quickly squishy opponents, and focus them through the game.
• Never hesitate to use Rampage, but wait a bit until the opponents’ defensive CDs have been used. If possible, use it when you have 3 bars of adrenaline, getting resistance before (Berserker’s Stance or Healing Signet activation).
• Good damage combo: start on axe/shield, dodge into your opponent (triggers Reckless Dodge), swap to GS (triggers Hydromancy and Leeching), GS#3 to go through him out of his camera angle, GS #5 to come back and hit from behind, then F1.
• Use mobility (GS#3, GS#5 and Bull’s Charge, with auto-targeting disabled in your options) to outnumber enemies, or to quickly decap nodes. Do not engage equal fights, or fights where you’re outnumbered yourself – play like a wolf.

GS + Mace/Shield with zerk amulet and pack runes with Signet of Might. Stay mobile, focus on +1ing fights. Don’t waste time in outnumbered fights or stalemates.

You’ll still have a rough time in some games, and thieves (fotm) do your job significantly better than you can, but it’s your best chance to actually carry.

Warrior has no support builds and well you are correct.

If you are serious about moving its 2 stances, head butt, with mace-shield and greatsword.

Its defense-discipline-beserker and rmember this is your only option since build diversity is a dead atm.

this is what im using atm.

I kind of hate GS and dont want to ride the bandwagon ( metabattle)
Advise about my build is apriciated :-)

You should only plan to carry up to low gold, and support builds aren’t for carrying.

Condi warrior build that I carry with: http://xtremetheory.com/pvp-condi-warrior/ – also game play video on there and on my twitch stream from PvP and WvW.

It looks like a dueling spec. I think it’s fine in that regard, but I don’t think you can carry with it – not enough mobility. You’d stick on an area, and wouldn’t be able to decap or +1 fast enough. Plus you would not be able to disengage when focused (in PvP, dying means you’ve messed up big time in the game, good sacrifices are not easy to setup).

To carry, I believe that the (current) warrior firstly needs damage and mobility, then to a lesser extent cleave and hard CC. At first I hated playing GS in PvP, because I didn’t understand it. Let’s go through a quick overview, in a PvP perspective:

• #1 is bad,
• #2 is average, highly circumstantial,
• #3 is the best skill in the game,
• #4 is average to good,
• #5 is good to excellent,
• F1 is okay in vanilla, excellent in Berserker.

If this is what you had in mind, then you truly don’t like the GS. If not, then give it some more chance, you may find out new things that could change your mind

GS is verystrong. Arch divider is a game breaker on point and GS3 just good with GS5 and heavy burst follower to instant down someone.
I play demolisher + surging rune burst build defence, strength,zerker. It does it´s job well.
