Hi for everyone. I tested all the runes but I carry on with difficult in choose one for my warrior Support Banner and I am here to see some opinions of Rune. I like to play with banners so don’t tell me to go with shouts please. My build is focused in WVW and the idea is to support huge zergs against huge zergs.
Thank you guys for the opinions. I am using S/D and P/P and I am really loving this combination for 1vs1, I know that WvW is not 1vs1 so when I run with my zerg guildies I swap to S/D Shortbow, simple and effective.
I saw that the rune of mesmer gives 33% daze duration and with para sigil my daze will be 4seconds but it worth lose alot of critical dmg for 1second more of daze ( ruby / beryl ) ?
I’m not a fan of the X/P weapon sets. I can’t really say why, other than the fact I don’t feel like a thief without a dagger in my offhand.
Lmao. I noticed this too and I will try S/D D/D. My build is a mix between PTV/BERSEK and my runes are ruby, with this style of build there are some rune better than my ruby ? Mesmer rune gives 33% daze duration..
In the sigils I can use this ?
Sword : Paraly
Dagger : Air
Dagger: Hydromancy
Dagger: Force
I carry S/D as main and D/D as backup… S/D gives you great control thru daze…make sure to equip a para sigil…and D/D great bust…switch between them to confuse your opponents…depending what class you are fighting…against tankier builds and 1Vs many fights I like S/D…as it hits multiple opponents…
D/P is a one trick poney that has been over used abused…
I totally agree. Para sigil is one thing that I really don’t know why to use .. 15% stun duration ( daze is not a stun) and the stun is 1.5seconds + 15% = 1,7225 … worth ?
It rounds up to 2 seconds. Which is only 1 second before you can CnD again. Meaning the enemy can barely hit you in a 1v1
Hm.. sounds good, I will test this later. What do you guys prefer S/D and D/D , DD and S/P or S/D and S/P ?

Maybe I can try do it and when I go to zergs change one of the weapons to shortbow because of the AoE damage. S/D and D/D sounds great but I really don’t know how to use one or the other at the combat.
I want to try S/D and S/P , D/D and S/P , S/D and D/D.
I didn’t understand what do you said. What do you prefer for 1vs1 at WvW ?
D/D have the heartseeker but S/D give you a shadowstep that you can run for 15 seconds and back.
I am in a doubt between S/D or D/D and I want to see some comments about this weapons, I am focused at Solo WvW ( x1 1vs2 ) even solo.
My build is not glass cannon and at the moment my stats are really balanced.
Dagger;Dagger :
- More Damage
- Less mobility
Sword;Dagger
- Blind/Daze
- Great gap close with break stun/ condition removal
- Good boon removal
So for 1vs1 what do you prefer guys ? Thank you for the opinion!
The topic is going to another matter. Here is the best for support at WvW in HUGE ZERGS.
Actually I am a PTV/Cleric Guardian focus in SUPPORT my squad , we fight against zergs that have 2x more people than us so in your opinion what is better just for support not damage.. mace shield mace focus or hammer ? thank u
Hi guys, first I want to do this topic because I saw a lot of people questioning about this so leave your opinion and explication please. For the best of SUPPORT/SURVIVAL to the group at WVW which one do you prefer ? Hammer , Mace / Shield or Mace/Focus.
Of course the secondary weapon is staff . In my opinion I prefer Mace/Shield than Hammer because you can heal really more and keep a good protection, as I play with other guardians I don’t need give perma protection.
Ok so we have a conclusion , Retreat and Stand your Ground are the shouts that the trait works , Hold the line 50% chance to trigger and Save Yourselves never trigger.
Really bad , now I am forced to put 10 points in another thing and lose 100 healing and 1000 HP, this will change my gear build ):
With Rune of Soldier the shouts remove conditions from me and from the allies or just ME ? Just allies ?
Anet shout fix this trait really fast…
I was running with 0/0/30/30/10 but the trait is bugged so I will change to 0/30/20/20 and take Elite focus or Absolute Resolution.
I currently run with a shout Guardian and I can confirm that the trait isn’t bugged (or at least for me or anyone I have played with) and I just so happen to use Soldier runes as well. It all seems to work without bugs or glitches.
I hope so. I was reading and the most of the forums told me that the trait is bugged, for now I am waiting for more answers. Thank you
As the most of the guardians knows the build of Shout is really nice at WvW/Pve/PvP.
I am a guardian since the beta’s but I have changed to a warrior and now I want to do a guardian, after get 80 I was looking for a good build and I am a bit curious about Pure of Voice trait. The trait still bugged ? How it works with Soldier rune ? Just answer if you are sure. Thank you
First of all I am a member of a guild that do WvW everyday and we have something like a Elite Squad, a group of 15~20 and the focus is wipe zergs with 30 + .
I am a Guardian Support of my team and I was trying to understand what is better for support, my gear is Full Power Toughness Vitality with some exquisite sapphire jewel and I am in a doubt between to weapons: greatsword / staff or hammer / staff.
Hi for everyone, first of all sorry for my english. I was doing my daily to get my laurel and I concluded really fast so I didn’t see the chest in my screen. After some hours I noticed this and the chest was not at my screen so I have tried logout but it is not working. I lost my laurel or I can get it again Anet ?
Everyone that plays WVW knows that the population of itself fell around 90% in recent months, a lot of guilds were tired from WVW and went to pve while the other guilds left the game. .
Really having a hard time finding these surveys and statistics you’re bring up. Want to elaborate how everyone knows this?
I really don’t need answer players like you but one of the best guilds of WvW is War machine and the leader of WM wrote that they lost 950 players.. I am tier 1 and I can’t find anyone in the maps in some moments of the day
Never heard of War Machine, but if losing that many people was so devastating, how is it your server is still T1? More imporantly, this is already 2 degrees of heresay and for all I know they left to join new better guilds. The point is, what you think “everybody knows” is really just what you and your circle of friends percieve. That doesn’t make your perception less valid than truth, but it does make it an opinion and not a fact.
You don’t understand that tier 1 is really boring ? Is really difficult see good fights, actually Jade Quarry and SBI are like : kitten this we will carry on in tier 1 while SoS think: kitten this we will carry on the firs. Today what is the difference between tier 1 or 8 ? Fail system ..

Also: Lower tiers have not had 90% of their players leave. For the past month, we’ve seemed to experience light population growth each week, we may hold even but we’re definitely not getting smaller. And this is coming from a “dead server” as far as the rest of you all are concerned.
I’ve noticed either people are leaving for low tier servers or they are bandwagonning in the T1 servers…
I’d believe it completely. If you look at when the lower tiers get unbalanced, it’s usually when large WvW guilds transfer down all at once. Every couple weeks, one server gets a wave of transfers and rockets up the rankings from bandwagoning. If upper tiers are constantly losing players to this I’d see how it would seem populations are dropping for them and growing for us.
ANet is obviously having a LOT of trouble due to the way they’ve configured their systems.
I doubt the orbs will ever return. If they do, hackers will find new ways to grab them. The orbs weren’t worth it anyway as they would make an already powerful server even more powerful and harder to kill.
If you are bored, go check out other servers on lower tiers. There’s still time to return to your server for free . . . for now.
I didn’t go to other sever , I am tier 1 since the game start.
Hello. For now thank you for entering at this topic, maybe you still interested in WvW.
Everyone that plays WVW knows that the population of itself fell around 90% in recent months, a lot of guilds were tired from WVW and went to pve while the other guilds left the game. The WwW was to be epic but everyone are tired of spend money and don’t get rewards.
Further we can now realize the total disregard of ArenaNet that only strives to make events ( Halloween, Wintersday ) and don’t try to animate the WvW again with good
mechanisms that make sense. Where is the orb ?
I just wanted to hear from others because my sever always been tier 1 and the scenery is really boring around here. For now I guess we can only hope that the February update mentioned by arena net re create a new WVW in Guild wars 2 or will be the end.
Hi everyone I am with a doubt, at the moment what is the best option to be a good DPS durable guardian ( not full dps but not full tank , the hybrid ) meditation with heal or shouts with protection and AH ? Thank u !
Arena net forgot the warrior guys .. look at the other topics in this forum yeah.. all the topics with answers from arena net officers and we don’t have ONE explanation about what we are made to do. We have bad survival bad remove condition and bad remove boon and now they told that we need a guy to remove our condition or we will not be affective. Hideous anet, hideous
I think equal to you man. Actually we are the worst class in 1 vs 1 and the best weapon to 1vs1 is axe. The axe just have a good autto attack because the rest of the skills are pretty ugly ( Criple 900 range, Vulnerability for 8s LOL it is joke … )
Whatever, nowadays I don’t know what the Anet need to do to fix the warrior but this way its impossible to play with one class that is the worst in 1vs1 and when you try to go straight in a zerg you must use Endure pain or you will not back for the house.
The warrior condition builds are bad too, first we can’t focus in other condition like poison, confusion, etc. Our condition is just bleeding.
Most likely the Closest things to DPS durable currently and is considered most viable is Gs with Sword/Horn and aiming to get Knight armor and Berserker Trinkets to get a best of both worlds and not be a Glass Cannon. Warriors have the highest base health (Necro’s too) and Use heavy armor but a few hundred points into toughness adds a lot of dmg reduction to a high health pool. Warriors generally need more toughness than vitality to increase their effective health pool compared to gaurdians (your example). Gs and Sword/Horn offer many escape’s increase movements skills and anti snare + vigor.
That balance of Damage and Defense along with some trait modifications can allow warriors to be much more durable and only lose a slight decrease in dmg. The trade off though i argue is definitely more favorable than being a straight glass cannon as a warrior since the truth is (we got no stealth/aegis/long duration invul or protection)
our only invulns are short and their cd’s are enormous.
Depending on your traits, it is possible to properly adjust damage with tankiness.
Opinion: I rather dislike the Sheild for many reasons that i feel Horn offers more to a team and the individual using it. The fact that the game doesnt really have a designated healer (A true healer/support class) and usually demands an individual to be self reliant means that we must be able to kite even as a melee class to avoid damage as well. Lets face it, i much rather have someone who knows how to kite and do dmg than someone spending too much time trying to soak damage and potentially die in a bad spot where no one can rez them.
Yeah man I am playing with Set Power/Tough/Vit and the rest berzeker with a hundred blades build but it is hideous use 3 utiltiy to kill 1 guy ( Endure Pain + Frenzy + Bulls Charge ) . Actually this build is very easy to avoid but is the one that works so-so because the rest is condition ( sword ) or Slow attacs with controll effects ( hammer ) or a Huge damage focus in projectiles that can be reflected.
Im waiting for a answer about anet because this way it is impossible play with warrior. I play every day WvW and it is very difficult hit the zerg and after run out of the zerg for many reasons..
Hey guys I am here to talk about one thing that I saw alot in this forum being discussed in a bunch of topics : Warrior DPS Durable.
Firstly to make a DPS Durable you need the best things to survive:
1 – Protection
2 – Invulnerable
3- Stealth
As we can see Warrior don’t have one second of protection, if you can put protection in the warrior, so you should go to the doctor because you might be crazy.
We have some invulnerable against brutal damage ( no conditions like Guardian has );
Endure pain 90seconds of colldown – description = 5seconds of invulnerable but in the fight is just 3 seconds.
Defy pain – Trait of line Defense that gives u endure pain at 25% health and has a internal colldown between 70 ~ 90 seconds
Shield Stance – Skill 5 of Shield blocks 5 seconds colldown of 30 seconds.
As we can see again the utility is bad, 90seconds of colldown is alot the description is wrong and it does’nt work against condition like the trait defy pain.
Shield stance is one nice but at the moment the warrior are not using shield in DPS builds, mostly of the warriors are using Greatsword/Rifle or Hammer.
Stealth – I don’t need talk about this, warrior don’t have stealth.
Now this is for the guys that tell me everyday that Warrior have HIGH HP and High Armor so you can do a Durable DPS as Guardian can do – Armor and Vitality every profession can have from GEAR but Stealth/Protection/Invulnerable and the other survival things are IMPOSSIBLE to get from GEAR.
Im here to get more information from other Warriors about this.
With the warrior of nowadays, its possible get a DPS durable ?
Conditions builds are exceptions , most of the condition builds are connected with toughness/vitality because the gear will not give u condition damage plus critical damage or something like this so you might be a good durable dps with condition build.
If you know a good durable build please tell us ^^
Ok thank u for the feedback.. now I need now if it is good use Greatsword/Hammer in WvW or if I really need use scepter + torch.. what is your opinion guys ?
Hey guys I am trying to do a guardian DPS with full protection but evebody told me that is impossible because my HP will be 12k or my attack will be low so I am here to ask u .. it is impossible do a Guardian DPS with perma protection ? If its possible tell me the gear please. Thank u
Warrior at the moment is very weak and its impossible to do one Durable DPS WARRIOR as you can with the guardian. Warrior don’t have the best things to survive: stealth, protection, blocks, when I talk about survive, I am not talking about ARMOR or Defense or HP because it is easy to get with the correct build.
The build that makes a good damage everyone can dodge, be invulnerable get a break stun or another options ( hundred blades ). Actually the one option that we have to make decent damage is RIFLE but it can be dodge veeeery ease when u see the burst animation or the voley like hundred blades.
Finally Warrior has axe off hand that is useless and some condition builds that just put bleeds while Necromancers/Elementalists/Mesmers can put a bunch of different conditions. One condition is not a good idea.
I am waiting for the god help us because nowadays warrior is just one more.
Hi guys I am warrior since the first Beta Event and at the first axe in the off hand was really OP you could put 7~15k of damage in PvP with the Whirling Axe and Arena Net saw it and changed the damage to less than before after it the skill is okay but it was nerfedagain and it makes the skill useless for the warriors that decided to use greatsword… arena net saw it again and try to put reflect projectiles in the skill but it was fail and they took away the reflect projectil. Atm the warriors that use axe axe use this because they love the style altough the whirling axe do 3~7k of damage and it is ridiculous now, I am here to suggest a remake in the Whriling Axe.
Some suggestions:
First put the reflect projectiles in the skill that will make it very good in WvW, PvP and PvE if arena put it I think that will be not OP because you can dodge the skill you can cripple the guy apply CC or just run..
Second idea is up the damage of the skill because atm is ridiculous I think that do 50~100% damage is a good idea and can be balanced because at the moment the spin of greatsword have 10 seconds of colldown without the trait and makes 3x more damage than the spin of axe that is 20 seconds of colldown.
The last idea and I think that many people will disagree because can be overpowered is put stability when you spin like the thieves( don’t put bleed/stability/damage/cripple like thieves because it is very OPP).
Thank you guys waiting for new ideas and waiting for the attention of Arena.
Actually, you can use dodge during the skill to avoid control, without cancelling the attack. So in that respect it’s no worse than anything else.
Oh of course that we can dodge but I think that this is not sooo good because in the zerg for example you will receive alot of attacks doesn’t matter the dodge I think that actually this skill just works in pve and in my opinion the focus os this skill need be in a group of monters or in the zergs or to broke balistas etc so if arena up the damage or put projectile reflect will be a good option to use ( double axe ) if arena will not do it our choose will go to greatswords that can do a huge damage with hundred and the spin do more damage than the axe..
I think that skill 5 of axe need a bonus of 50~100% in damage right now because when you use this you are vulnerable to Control Effects and you will hit 5 guys because have a cap of players or reflect projectiles.. another skill that need remake is 4 of axe. Lets go guys I am happy about alot of opinions
