Guild Wars 2

hey guys, i want my warrior to be a tank, but i dont know wich weapons are the best…
for now i am using a greatsword.
thanks.

sorry guys, i found what suits me best. axe-due to its high damage and stability and a shield-due to its defense and stun. plus i craft armor with +vitality

Mace due to its perma-Weakness and block.

wait but what about aoe? its kind off important for tanks…and what about off hand?

All Warrior melee weapons have their own type of AoE; cleave.

You’ll always hit multiple targets.

I’d go Shield in off-hand. The three seconds immortality is amazing, and the leap/stun is not too shabby either.

If you want to “tank” use a sword.
Flurry gives 4sec++ immobilize to mobs in a 180 degree cone, so they are forced to fight you instead of your team.

if you don’t intend to have ranged in your alternate set.

tanking weapons are mace/shield in one hand and sword/horn in the other.

mace/shield give you 3 interrupts, 2 blocks and weakness
sword/war-horn gives you gap closer+ immobilization and vigor to your party+weakness to the enemies. if traited also two condition removal on 16 sec CD.

the problem with warhorn is that it collides with shouts its either shouts or warhorn and banner

So you’re not looking for all tank, you’re looking for balance? In that case just face roll with a greatsword relying on your stats to keep you up. Change to mace/shield to start mitigating hits when things get hairy.

It doesn’t really collide with shouts that badly at all. All you are losing is the 20% reduced shout cooldown. Shouts are on such a short cooldown already (aside from “Fear Me!”) that this doesn’t really matter.
