Guild Wars 2

Zsymon.8457:

As to the OP, you can make a 100B build using knight armor, but you will not do a lot of damage then, so no it isn’t really possible to make a survivable 100B build as a warrior. If you have trouble killing a 100B warrior, then you either need a lot of practice still, because they die at a sneeze without posing any threat to you if you can dodge, they are basically free kills, or they had a lot of buffs from their team mates, such as protection and regeneration, and maybe were being healed by shouts or wells on top.

The typical 100b/BC/Frenzy warriors aren’t a problem, I’ve just run into a few GS users that soak up damage while still dishing it out fairly well. Not all GS warriors rush in, use 100b then collapse.

Going with what others have said, it just takes balancing stats enough to find that middle ground. I wish I would of asked them their build, but by the time I think about it, they’ve left after dominating for a few games.

Usually ranked in the high 30-40s so I’m assuming they’ve had a bit of practice, but it’s still surprising to land a Kill Shot, do the “instant kill combo” as a thief, or whatever and barely scratch someone and then have them turn around and melt not only me, but a few others as well and make it out fine. The times I’ve died were most likely from confusion because I assumed they would simply fall over like most berserker/100b spammers =)

Thanks for all the tips everyone.

I keep bouncing around trying to figure out what I want to play in pve/wvw and warrior seems to fit best. I’ve tried many builds and have had some success and failure.

In spvp, I’ve run across a few GS warriors that are very hard to deal with. Some seem to run the typical 100b glassy build but still have a lot of defense or at least don’t take damage like the typical glass cannon. I can’t figure out what traits or gear they have going that allows them to eat their own cake.

What’s the secret sauce that allows GS builds to run over people and still survive being beat on for a while (not just ignore pain)? Seems hard to do with the little gear/stat choices in spvp, but some have figured it out.

Maybe it’s just skill but it seems like they have another ace up their sleeve.

Not sure about those areas but Metrica Province nodes seem to be about 75% vanilla 25% peppercorn. Price has dropped 30% on TP within the last day or two so seems people are finding them more or needing them less.

How much vanilla is needed to go from 1-400 with the popular guides that all seem to use it? I found 5 in metrica and am debating farming and doing cooking myself or just having someone else make me food with what I find.
