Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the advice. I’ll swap out rifle for a LB.
I don’t really have requirements per se, I was just hoping to have a cool looking warrior that could 1v1 in WvW. BTW, my armor is Knights and my trinkets are split into half knights half berserkers.

Im always open to suggestions on getting all new gear, the only thing I really care to keep is the Bolt in my main hand.

For WvW, I usually go to JP for the laughs and attempt* to torture whoever hits me first and starts a fight.

Occasionally I will run with the guild and do takeovers, and my favorite is getting behind a big zerg and taking out a couple of guys that are lagging behind.

I forgot to add my armor/items.
I currently run all Knights Armor, Knights earrings, Ascender Berserker Frac Back, Ascended zerk ammy, Ascended zerker rings.

My thought process was the condition behind the sword auto attack was an added bonus, and the raw damage I hit with is what counts the most. Given sword’s mobility, I would get a few hits that I could not with a GS/axe/ ect. Auto attacks range from 800-3000 damage.

Recently just made a Bolt because of it’s shiny allure.
Now I’ve been experimenting like crazy lately trying to figure out a WvW build to go along with it and I’m stuck in mediocre limbo.

Without shout/heals I noticed that Warrior is pretty much useless. Having all 3 of your utilities as Endure pain, kick, charge ect does not help when you get feared, immobilized ect. I noticed it’s essential to have at least Great Justice and Condition removing shouts/soldier runes. That’s an automatic 30 traits into Tactics. It’s almost mandatory to have at least 20 points into Arms. I believe 10 is required into Strength for reduced fall damage. There really isn’t a whole lot of leeway here.

For off hand I experimented with mace/shield/axe and sword. Axe lacks mobility which makes those 1v1 fights impossible. Shield’s cooldowns take too long and is not worth it when a offhand sword gives a block as well as a ranged DoT. Mace is decent as well and I have settled for Mace. Switch is rifle.

Regardless of seemingly figured it all out—I’m still struggling. Any decent stealth thief or guardian beats the kittens out of me.

Any tips?
