Guild Wars 2

I seen the limitation of zerk warrior in tpvp a long time ago. many builds able to negate power attacks just too well, examples: mediation guard, pu mesmer, decap engi.
In wvw, it’s different because of power and crit dmg scaling and being able to stack it much higher, plus the -condi duration makes it much more viable.

The limitation of full condi warrior is known from even longer, nothing really changed about this build only hambow became less strong so ppl moved to that.
With current meta almost all viable builds pile on many condi removals, so again there will be some builds you just cannot kill: hambow warrior, necros, decap engi again…

With hybrid you can stack cond to force a heal and cleanse and then burst, where in full cond you would just have to wait for condi CD again.
You can apply constut pressure with direct dmg but your conditions still burn while the enemy kites making him lose 1 way or the other.
If your enemy direct damage is higher then you are the kiter, if he kites and applying conds the you chase him with burst dmg.

The way I see it, hybrid has the same risk reward as full zerk and that’s y i find it fun. Full condi just stack cond damage and rest is defense, PVT or semi zerk still stacks a lot of armor and only the rest in power and crits. Hybrid need 4 damage attributes (3 cirt power + condi), so not much room to invest in defense but the reward is sweet

I like knowing that there is no counter build for me, some builds will be easy fight, many others will be harder compared to full cond or full zerk, but it’s up too my skill if I win it and not just up to my build.

This is what i run. It has too much vitally coz of stupid amulet system, in WvW you can build it much better, but this build is strong.
The condi dmg is strong as any rabid warrior (and way better then all those cowardly settlers shouts builds), but you still land: ~4K final trust and arcing arrow with 1K auto attacks.

I played almost the Same a few weeks ago. Different utils, lyssa Rune. Very strong.
Atm i try to rebuilt/max it for wvw (started as Dire yesterday). Today i mixed in some soldier armor and swapped out Dire trinkets for cond/Power/vit ones.
Thinking about swapping condi Stacks to bloodlust Or Even more soldier gear.

Having the same problem, mixing in condi with power is hard. Again mostly of the dumb sets system the only set which does that is carrion which gives us wasted vitally points.
Best I came up with so far is something like this:

A little Bit too much precision for my taste as you have more than 75% uptime on fury. But i think your built is in a better state than Mine

This is the current Hybrid, ‘go to’ build for warriors. Really fun to play and can kill almost anything.
