I’ve played a condition warrior since beta because i didn’t like the 0815 Moldran build.
First i started with the ‘There will be Blood’ Build sword/shield and rilfe and later switched to bow and sword/axe. I was very happy with it and had a lot of fun because usually my opponents expect the 100b one trick pony and got downed by 120er ticks blood….till the patch. THE patch.
Currently this game is more ‘condition wars 2’ and for me i see only two viable builds. That is the the one from Defektive and Matale’s build.
I’ve experimented on my own but through the trait mixing can’t recommend a pure condition build right now.
It’s sad but in my opinion the latest patch killed the diversity in warrior builds.
But back to your concerns…..right now i’am running Matales stunlock build (yeah finally i’am back at square one aka 100b one trick pony) in tpvp pugs and have a lot of fun.
Every Necro, Mesmer and even engis expect you to die fast and without any efforts. And most of them die in surprise because the stunlock/100b combo can turn the tide.
When your opponents whisper you after a match and give you kudos than you know you doing very well.
I don’t say that i beat every player….but every class is no problem. The stunlock build was founded in wvw for roaming alone and looking for 1vs1…i switched a few utility skills around but thats fine.
So all i wanna say is after a short time of disappointments (expensive re-equipping, l2p) i’am having a blast right now. And you should too. 
kind regards

I came to this thread after making this PvP based thread:

It sounds like we’re running a similar build, although I’m guessing he’s tougher than mine is considering that’s more important in WvW. I used GS with Mace/ Shield for a while and I’m happy it got buffed amidst all the nerfs we indirectly received last patch. I posted my build as kind of an update because it is a totally different beast post patch. Still wouldn’t call it as amazing in TPvP when you see what builds Rangers and Engis can run but warriors are slowly creeping towards viability. That being said I don’t like WvW dueling because Food can heavily make up for warrior’s shortcomings.
Which kind of food do you prefer in wvw?
How about linking your build in here? Would help a lot i guess.
So Defektive with which Sigil are you going on shield now?
GW2, outside of top tier play, is a lot about doing a strategy or role (in this case, conditions) using a style you enjoy (one of the eight classes). It’s not supposed to be all about min maxing, which was also one of the original goals of the game.
GW2 is currently a lot about conditions. You might call this game condition wars 2.
I’ve tried to beat a guildmember the last hour with his engi and necro and cannot think of any warr build that is able to beat his condition engi. Maybe one of these 100b clone warriors….maybe.
How about a link to your build. Seems more comfortable to me than a textwall.
