Guild Wars 2

People really, really overlook warhorn. It is true you need to really build around it to get the most out of it, but man it shines when you do. If you build for support though, you defintiely won’t be killing really as fast, so it might not be your optimal farming spec, though I farm fine with it using healing or explorer’s gear.

People under estimate how great vigor is, how useful the condition conversion is, and how havng near 100% swiftness is. Warhorn simply fits nicely in with any support warrior. Personally I use it with a sword for extra mobility, a leap finisher, and a snare. I adjusted my spec to pick up deep cuts to take advantage of the bleeds, using a 10/10/20/30/0 build. It works great in WvW and is really good 1v1 as well. I obliterated some poor thief that thought to go toe to toe with me. Less up front damage than axe, but the damage builds quite nicely, which works to my favor since my build and gear is survival/support oriented.

I kept going back to warhorn, because I solo WvW a lot right now, and the only way I feel one can melee effectively in the zerg, is witht he warhorn. It allows you to flow around easily, and I even jump in and out of the other zerg knowing I can most likely escape.
