Guild Wars 2

While I was unemployed for the last two years, standing in town and spamming channels for a group was an acceptable use of my time. Now that I have found work, my free time is too precious to waste sitting at my computer hoping for serendipity.

Dungeon Finder / Group Tools are industry standard at this point.

Tara had one on launch; SWTOR added one; Hell, the remake of FFXIV is going to have a dungeon finder on (re)launch.

Yeah, that’s right. Square-Enix is a terrible company, and they even realize what a huge mistake it was to not include one with their initial launch.

I enjoy your game, but it’s mistakes like this that make me question how it is possible you were even this successful. For now, I cannot rationalize committing any more time to your product. Hopefully you will eventually fix this obvious problem.

I’m interested in hearing more about the Vitality/Healing/Condition build.

What does the condition damage actually effect?

What weapon type(s) do you use with this build?

Thanks again.

Yeah – I was curious about the build using shout heals, etc.

How should my traits look?

I picked up the build from one of the three posted above:

But it feels flawed with having only 15 points in defense..? I mean, 20 points minimum to get the shield skill… so shouldn’t I get 20? Probably subtract from the 5 points in discipline..

Also, is healing skill on gear at all important for a tanky-ish warrior? I mean, it seems to be close to a 1:1 ratio when I put on some crap blues just to see how it changes. Probably not worth it, but thought i’d ask.

Otherwise, going to just keep going POW/VIT/TOUGH.

Really great info, guys. Thank you.

There are probably more threads on this, but they are lengthy/buried deep in here.

I’m probably stuck in an archaic mindset about shield use being synonymous with tank. I thought a warrior would be off tank / DPS, so I bought a few yellows accordingly: a 1h sword, a shield, and i’m currently using a longbow for aoe trash.

I am specced into Vitality for the banner bonuses, power, and 10 points in precision for crit effects.

To the point: What stats should I be prioritizing as a warrior?
I see some people saying: Power/Toughness/Vitality – Is that wrong? I feel like hunter pets do the majority of tanking when I’m in groups. Do I just not have enough toughness? I get clobbered pretty hard.

If anyone could give me an idea, or link me to a useful thread, that would help me determine how I should be specced as a fresh 80.. and what stats I should be prioritizing.. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.
