That’s what I run, just because Smash Brawler and CI are life.

I seem to notice i get the stuck bug more often after i get Ancient seeds procced on me, and yeah, human warrior seems to get this kitten all the time

Do you guys think we should be able to move during the duration of this skill? I don’t even mind if the Retal was removed, standing still kinda sucks. I still love the OH Axe for my power build but….

Agreed with Emkelly, IF I duo which is rare it’s with my Ranger/Warrior friend. 2 Warriors is really scary, my friend is GS/Hammer zerk and rocks it.

Lolz. I never get tired of seeing these vids. not because they are awesome, but because it blows my mind at how lucky Vaans gets every time. There were so many times when she should have died, but his opponents never take advantage of either their numbers or their skills. it’s very obvious that his opponents were not very skilled players. great video as always.

Supernatural Dawn.3194:

With the new 4 stat ascended armor you could in theory get 100% boon duration or at least 50% with another 50 from a paragon friend.

Using Superior Rune of the Revenant it gives you 2 seconds of resistance using a healing skill. If you chose Healing Signet as your healing skill that adds 6 seconds of resistance for a total of 8 seconds. With Signet Mastery it reduces the recharge to 16 seconds. 100% boon duration will give you 16 seconds of resistance. Close to permanent.

Would such a build be even viable or even worth it?

Not worth it when you just equip strength and kill everyone

Stand The Wall.6987:

Thats an interesting choice, defense over discipline. I would love to try it out. Thanks!

Defense for Adrenal Health is pretty much mandatory now.

ZErk zerk zerk zerk zerk

Great vid as usual, did you end up liking Smash Brawler and CI over RR/SI?

Cerby.1069:

twisted fighter was the name given.

Pretty sure he’s the one that posted his build a month ago….here. The endurance regen one. Just 90% passive regen and 100% on stance proc. I played the build for a good period and it was quite fun, just I found it rather ridiculous how long it took to fight players using blocks…..and the longer you fight the less of an advantage the warrior has….and the more likely the enemy will have friends that show up. Given I like to end fights as quickly as possible and move on….its not a build for me. It is quite fun as I said, and I’m sure with a partner you won’t run into the problems I do when running stuff like this solo. So if you run solo and ur fine getting bogged down by enemies that die respawn and die and respawn in such a manner where you are stuck fighting until they giveup…..then sure you really can’t go wrong with this build. Don’t expect to be solo’ing very many contested objectives though when there’s a wp nearby. Against more competent opponents though ur at a disadvantage due to only having 1 stability that you can’t control when it procs. There are better builds for burst and there are better builds for sustain. This one is a good middle ground and has alot of fun and control to it though. I prefer full burst though.

What would you call a full burst build? Im just curious.

Thats what I run

I run mace/sh and GS with RR, defender runes, mango pie, draining sigil etc, its really fun with zerker

d/p with draining and pulm impact

or

sw/d with more condi clears, vigor etc

Hes not using zerk, He has Strength, Defense, and Disc, so I know hes not running arms for unsuspecting foe…

Ok, I don’t understand,

Whats he running? My berserker power war doesn’t hit that hard without stacks,

Can someone enlighten me lol, I mean hes not even running food in some clips.

So is it condition based or hybrid?

At least grow a beard!

No self respecting Warrior plays condi though =) Be a man

Ran into a Sw/sh +lb warrior the other day, 12k burn ticks. I got ded

Been wanting to make an SB hybrid ranger build for wvw forever, it’s just so kitten weak

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

Full melee ftw. Dont need a rifle to make war viable. I prefer longbow over rifle when go longrange.
@ khainpride
Why do you want to nerf war sustain. Whut? Didnt war had enough nerfs in the past?
Why 33% movement speed. You want to turn war into a brainless kite bot?

Because Druids with swoop/staff 3, stealth, and perma swiftness aren’t these things already?

You neckbeards need to cool it.

What kind of build do u think it is? this looks highly cancerous

Anyone having an issue with Swoop like I am? It’s almost as bad as Rush.

Example, fighting a DH on a bridge, target him, swoop, I fly nowhere near him off the bridge and die.

Fun stuff, it just literally either bypasses the person I have targeted or doesn’t hit at all.

Spartacus.3192:

drcraig.9403:

You are correct OP. If you trait shield master you do not get the regen when blocking / reflecting ranged attacks, instead you get the “reflect” only. You do get regen when blocking melee attacks even with shield master trait. I use dogged march as you stated. Doing that you get the regen from all blocked attacks. Ranged and melee.

+1. Exactly as he said.

I know you run a similar build to me, do you take dogged march over shield master?

Bc we are teh bestest

wvw/spvp sorrrrrrry

XerMeLL.6042:

Furajir.3815:

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but it seems when I use Shield Master trait, and I reflect something, the healing bonus doesnt work, is that meant to happen?

If thats the case I may go with dogged march or soemthing

If its not a bug then its lame, Reflect should be consider as Block too, because before you can reflect missile it should be block first by the shield.

Exactly, hope i can get some more feedback on this.

For d/p specifically, what utilities aside from shadow step do you guys really enjoy or find useful, or consider “must haves” heal/elite as well!

I’m currently running Berserker with Mace/sh and GS

-Mango pie
-Defender runes
-Draining sigil
-RR
-Leeching
etc

It’s pretty kittened

LughLongArm.5460:

Hi, dont take hydormancy with celectrial shadow, it will break you stealth unintentionally lots of times.

You go with a might stacking theme, so on staff go with air/ concentration and on GS go with battle and agility/energy/cleansing(whatever you think you lack).

Reasons:
on staff you needd air to keep the damage pressure, staff fast and consistent attacks will make sure the get the mostt out of it. concentration is jsut tons of vlaue with your boons synegie its just boost everything in your build.

ON gs, – battle for extra might stacking and agility of fast combos like swoop or hitbash+maul.

On swap sigils are realy good on druid as going in and out of CA will activate them making you able to use the sigils without swaping weapons. so with staff you have extra duration on stability with CA 5 and with GS you have quick lunar impact. Nice extra utility.

I didnt even know that ty

I said I don’t have issues killing people, thanks for replies guys.

Steelo.4597:

expect the new wvw warrior power meta build to hit the scene any day now – working on the last details / min max. pro scrapper / dh already got rekt repeatedly against someone running it first day, looks very promising. will let this forum know when it’s out.

wut

It’s so easy to avoid them like how is this still a topic of discussion?

Hey lads, just wanna bounce some ideas around and see what people think.

Currently roam with this build and don’t have trouble killing most people, albeit really well played warriors/thieves which is rare.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJARWnUqA1Ci9CCOsActglOBDelGT3pPtgQ1CzpvFAKcA-TVRWwASUCCY/hBK/IpLgo6PkCIwpWA-w

Just seeing what people thought about which sigils.

Was looking at:

-frailty/strength for extra dmg and more might stacking
-generosity/cleansing for even more cndition management
-Doom for the more sustain heavy classes

Any tips are greatly appreciated

I personally love defender runes with mace/sh Draining sigil and zerker, thats a very tough build

Where do I obtain the exotic/ascended versions?

Pyriall.1683:

Hanza.6872:

Tbh, the debate about condition damage vs power damage is rather old. What most posts neglect is the actual amount of damage one attack does.

There are a whole range of attacks that add several conditions and do 5-12k (probably a lot higher) of damage if you don’t cleanse them. This could sort of be okay, if the cooldown of cleanses was similar to that of these skills.

But they are not. And cleanses aren’t focused either. So I just removed blind and torment, but kept the 12 stacks of bleed on me…

The whole problem with conditions is that it takes away control from a lot of players. And yes, (melee) power is a lot harder than condition damage to apply and keep at it..

But sure, keep on being an ostrich..

Three button presses that does 10-12k damage. Condition or power?

You keep making this argument. It’s moot.

For example, on a condi Mesmer vs a warrior.

Warrior has to get close, on a Mesmer I can simply sit back from range and spam clones and shatters. The skill ceiling is ridiculously low.

So, many know me from back in the day with Faux and the RRR videos we used to put out, along with my daoc buddy Xsourus, old video links below. So Ive been a solo roamer since gw2 came out.

Im at a crossroads with my build and need some insight. I’m wondering if Fortifying bond is really worth it for the extra boons and boon sharing, 25 stacks of might sounds sexy, but I dont think the rest of the line is worth it, and I think Protective Ward may be a tad over hyped idk.

I usually use staff/gs. but sometimes Staff/lb so I guess im at a crossroads between WS, Marksmanship, and NM.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Nobody cares what you play breh.

I play Warrior and Druid exclusively since GW2 came out.

Last week I geared a Mesmer in condi/perplex gear. I was steamrolling everyone I encountered with ease, simply by mashing buttons, even most 2v1’s were easy. I have to actually pay attention and try on my mains.

Condi application is cheesemode as kitten.

Perplex is only in WvW though, and I will also guess you were in Dire gear. These two gear components are over the top and are not allowed in PvP (and imo should be removed from WvW as well).

Doesn’t matter. pvp is a joke. So is wvw. They removed an amulet. Now it sucks in spvp.

Curunen.8729:

The thief and mesmer builds that require these utilities do so because neither are capable of facetanking damage in teamfights.

The only mesmer build that can facetank (what remains of bunker/support) doesn’t use these escape skills anyway, so the point is moot.

Pleaseeeeeee.

Thief has so many get out of jail free cards it isn’t funny.

Abracadabra.3296:

@ Furajir,

Thanks for the link! I’ll give that a try this evening and see how it goes. Looks like a good bit of fun to play. Any suggestions on some good combos or setups to use?

For sure man, mostly just rotating your fields, I mostly play power. Theres about 10 diff ways to setup combos with that build.

1) Flames of War on Torch 5, Savage leap
2) Combo field for LB/might stacking and huge burst is F1 and LB 3

Pretty much rinse and repeat, LB will be your major condi cleansing tool since the primal bursts always lands. Between might stacking, corruption sigil etc, youre looking at well over 2.1k condi dmg here. The damage potential is there.

Changed some stuff up for you, give it a shot.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAsfTnMdAdhglkCWhAElilqADZx1ACAK9gYXO4d0uajtA-TViAQBb4IAcK1f4whAIMK/Gk+gAu/A3eAAsRJIAOBAkCIwpRA-w

1) Swapped To disc for the move speed since youll be solo roaming, the condi clear on wep swap, and burst mastery, which doesn’t matter that much but with CI youll have a lot of bursts which is the name of the game now for AH stacks.

2) Torch OH, bc lol burning and fire fields

3) rune of the Zerker, more condi damage and more raw damage

4) Smash Brawler over Last Blaze, just bc I think shattering blow is trash, and SB allows for so many burst skills before zerker goes on CD it’s not even funny, especially with CI+Burst mastery.

5) Swapped out food for some Dumplings for more might+condi dmg on might stacking

You could always toss a corruption sigil in there to to try and hit a lol 2k condi dmg

Hope this helps, enjoy!

Thought you guys quit. Welcome back.

Rushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Time for attempt #4! I made some slight adjustments (anim speed, attack radius, increased travel velocity for the small leap at the end) to the skill that should (hopefully) make it land more consistently.

TRIGGEREDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

When is this supposed fix supposed to take place?

I personally think bow is trash unless youre playing vanilla and might stacking, for zerk rifle is far superior, unless youre going condi.

Nope.

Not even a little bit.

I usually main Warrior/Druid. Just happened to throw together my condi Mesmer last week for a change of pace, it’s so easy mode in wvw solo roam it isn’t even funny, I barely have to try.
