Guild Wars 2

Hey there! i’m a new player trying to figure out what my secondary weapon should be.
i’m level 13 atm and i will soon be able do that weapon swap thing. so far after trying out all the weapons i’ve found i prefer sword/axe so that will be my main weapons but what should i pick as secondary?

A ranged weapon / a 2 hander great Sword or Hammer. Depends on your sword / Axe spec and what may over lap with another weapon well. I anticipate you are Arms, so Forceful Greatsword may be of some use…

You need to be more specific;

Is this for just fun and leveling?

is this for PvP?

Is this for PvE content exclusively?

i’m totally new so i have no clue but i guess this is for leveling and fun

Wouldn’t mind a “fun and leveling” build either. Tanks!

Typo. Leaving it.

As Shieldbash pointed out, Greatsword would probably be a wonderful addition to your sword/axe. As a rule of thumb you should try to keep at least one of each weapon in your inventory so you can get used to adjusting specs and having the weapons there when you need them. Sword/axe is actually what I used to level up as well – awesome choice. :P

alright thanks i’ll try out the greatsword

any tips on what i should start fights with? and when to i switch weapon? it feels a bit clunky and confusing right now =/

If you want to learn warrior in pvp whisper me I can give you the secret op specs! No really I can give you lots of warrior specs that need nerfed especially if you base it off of thief which people complain is op

Leave the person be, you pvp junkies. xD
Try out every weapon available, but I’d recommend Axe/axe or Greatsword + Rifle or Longbow, quite comfortable for pve. Also, buy a “Minor Sigil of Bloodlust and Minor Sigil of Fire” for your weapons, they will help with killing stuff more easily.

If you are using sword/axe + greatsword you could for example:

1. Start with GS 5 “Rush”.
2. Do GS 2 “100b”.
3. Do GS 3 “WW”
4. Do GS 4 “Toss GS”
5. Swap weapons.
6. Do Sword 2 “leap”
7. Do Axe 4 “Fury Axe”
8. Do Axe 5 “Spin FTW”
9. Do Sword 3 “Final thrust”
10. Do 3x sword 1.
11. Swap.
12. 100b
13. WW
14. Toss GS
15. Rush

Main idea is to make sure that you use every awesome skill as often as possible. It is so much faster to kill a dude with skills like 100b than it is with Basic attack.

This is a good question.

Best place to get anything in this game is the Trading Post (TP). You open the TP with default “O” key or icon on your top left screen.

From there you can browse weapons, sigils, armor, food, anything. You can retrieve the items you bought from any Black Lion Trading company outpost.

Make sure to update your weapons every 5 lvls or so. Don’t buy anything that is too expensive. With 5 silvers you should be able to get a nice green sword every 5 levels or so.

oh ok i will check that out.. thank you
