Guild Wars 2

what is the best gear & runes for greatsword WvWvW

You don’t yet understand the game if you ask that question. Come up with a build for WvW first, once that’s done choosing the appropiate gear will be easy.

There is 3 options of gear that are the most common, they are:

Knight: Power, precision, thougness. Half survival, half damage.

Soldiers: Power, thougness, vitality. Survival.

Berserker: Power, precision, crit damage. Damage.

You choose anyone of them and depending what you want, they all work. Rune, depends abit on the build, direction of damage or survival.

Start with Knights until you are confident in your ability to avoid damage, then start transitioning to full Berserker.

There is no room for weakness as a Warrior! Go burst or go home!

… or banner regen. That’s nice, too.

Normally I advise against it, but hell, if you want to use a GS you may as well use berserker’s gear because all its traits are 20pts into two separate offensive lines, and both pretty beneficial. Carry a sword and warhorn in your off set for catching up to people or fleeing from them (along with GS’s skills), and a rifle and/or bow in your bags for shooting off walls. If you’re willing to lose some damage you could get leg specialist (or just empowered) and trait your warhorn for condition removal – it gets pretty good at this.

Throw some ruby orbs in your stuff. They’re cheap and when you’ve died a lot you can replace them with something you know you’ll get decent use out of.

GS+mace/shield with bulls charge/endure pain. Dunno whats the 3rd trait. Boring watching an exploitive class-thief- in action.

You might want to check out the warrior forums on guru. I remember someone posting a spvp build for those weapons. F1 mace to setup for a 100b. But as you can see, it works on classes with little to no stun breakers.
Sword thieves have an instant stun breaker on zero cooldown on their sword.

go nuts and start figuring your warrior build out. but as a general rule you don’t want your armor to go below 2700, unless you are really confident in your ability to avoid damage.
