Guild Wars 2

My GS+S/S roamer build has 27k health and 3k armor while still putting out 10-14k DMG 100blades and 4-6k DMG whirlwinds and 3-4k DMG rushes. This is assuming you don’t factor the sigil of fire. If I find that I’m taking too much damage I can easily swap to my sword/shield and go into survival mode with the block, stuns, mobility, and the sigil of blood for some solid self healing on top of the 9k burst heal from Surge.

In PvE or Wv3 the build has 24k health and 3.2k armor, but everything else is the same.

You don’t have to be glass to do good damage.

That’s when all the hits crit with your 12% crit chance.

To be accurate: I have a base 40% crit chance. Add Banner of Discipline, Fury, and Heightened Focus and I’m looking at a solid 74% crit chance with +30% crit damage.

Word to the wise: Rampager/Coral and Knight/Emerald gear give more precision than Berserker gear, and thus a higher crit chance.

Berserker gear is EXTREMELY overrated. You get better crit chance from rampaged/knight, better crit damage from Valkyrie, and better power from Soldier. All of these options bring survivability stats to the table as well.

say what now? Valkyrie and berserker both have the same crit damage. If anything, berserker gives more due to higher precision. You’re discounting berserker gear too much. But I guess if you suck at dodging, you would.

Thinly veiled personal attacks and logical fallacies asside, I stand corrected. Valkyrie has the exact same crit damage as Berserker, but also provides Vit which is hard to get.

Thought you went carry build >_>

Nvm. Works on WvW better than in sPvP though.

Works the same in s/tPvP…

PvP stats:
27k health
3k armor
48% crit chance
3.4k attack

Same 20/20/0/10/20 build. Also leg specialist makes my carry/roamer very hard to get away from.

^
Not bad at all just that 10 points in tactics..

Leg Specialist + Opportunist can give 100% uptime on fury for 20% extra crit chance bringing me to 60%.

Inspiring Banners can give me and my entire team 100% uptime on 5% crit chance and 10% crit damage. As well as 90% uptime on swiftness while repositioning.

That and the 1k bonus health and 10% duration increase on boons like might, fury, and swiftness is nothing to laugh at.

My PvE stats are as follows:

24k health
3.2k armor
40% crit chance
3.3k attack

Armor: All “Soldier” type (Power + Vit + Toughness) with crests of the soldier.
Weapons: All Knight (Prec + Power + Toughness) with various sigils.
Trinkets: All Emerald with Emerald Jewels (Prec + Power +Toughness)
Spec: 20/20/0/10/20

Berserker gear is EXTREMELY overrated. You get better crit chance from rampaged/knight, better crit damage from Valkyrie, and better power from Soldier. All of these options bring survivability stats to the table as well.

Your link is broken.

Yes, you should be just fine for Arah. Especially path 3 which is easy-mode.

For the record there is a HUGE difference between glass and tanky specs in dungeons. Even Lupicus can’t 1-shot a tanky build warrior. It’s actually closer to 6-8 shots to drop you. Don’t listen to the hype from the glass cannon idiots.

My ele poops all over your banners and doesn’t have to spec for it in order to do that job, I can just give it to people because I feel like it at any given time. Yeah, go banner war! lol

So your ele can give everyone on a point the following stats any time you want?

175 power
175 condition damage
900 health
90 armor
10% boon duration
10% crit damage
25% crit chance
210 health per second
33% increased movement speed

For 95 seconds every 100 seconds with the following having 100% uptime:

900 health
90 armor
10% boon duration
10% crit damage
25% crit chance
210 health per second

I’d love to see that ele build!

banner warrior

HAHAH! omg

Wow, thanks for that. Always good to start the morning off with a good laugh.

I especially enjoyed how you finished by saying that warriors are good because they make guardians even better! Yay! That’s what every warrior wants to do, play second fiddle sidekick to the paladins that are already like improved warriors 2.0.

If you really want to be a guardian that badly, roll a guardian. While you’re there: enjoy having 60% of the health and 60% of the damage compared to a non-idiotically built warrior in exchange for more active defenses.

If you don’t see the benefit of banners you need to look again. If you still don’t see it you may want to try a different class. I hear thieves are in vogue right now.

Don’t listen to the nay-sayers in this thread. Warriors are very powerful in PvP.

There is more than just a single burst combo. Frenzy+BC+100B is actually pretty bad as you will have a hard time killing anyone but glass cannons with it.

Warriors as roamers are very powerful, and you aren’t restricted to sword/horn. Killing stragglers and other roamers is our forte. With a good build there isn’t a single class we can’t beat 1vs1.

Can we bunker like an engi or guardian? No, but a well built banner warrior can turn that bunker-built engi or guardian into a shiny golden god.

One final tip: don’t build glass cannon and expect to do well.
