Good shield PvE builds?

in Warrior

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

My current build is 0/10/30/30/0. With half Knight’s armor (chest, legs and gloves) and the other half Vaklyrie’s. I use a Hammer with a Mace and Shield secondary. I do decent damage and am hard to kill in PvE, I act as the tank in my guild’s dungeon runs.

The Major Traits I have are: Deep Strike, Missile Deflection, Merciless Hammer, Shield Master, Empower Allies, Lung Capacity, and Vigorous Shouts. Unlike the person above me I find Missile Deflection very useful, granted I’ve only done story mode dungeons so far, but against bosses like Eir, I hit for 20K in one block by blocking her spreadshot attack. It can also let you do good damage against ranged Silver mobs

I plan to get Sapphire Jewelery eventually to make my healing shouts better. My utilities are: Healing Signet (unless alot of condition removal is needed, which I use Mending), For Great Justice, Shake it Off, Endure Pain (can be switched with On My Mark), and Signet of Rage.

Hope that helps

Highest single target crit in a level 80 dungeon?

Those are some really high numbers…though I bet I’d see numbers like them more often if I wasn’t set up defensively, since I act like the tank of our group on my Warrior

I don’t mind Signet of Rage on my Warrior. But in Dungeons I’d like to Replace it with another utility skill so I can have 3 healing shouts and Endure Pain

You can really spike something with an Axe/Sword combo. If your adrenaline is full you can throw your axe, throw your sword, leap in with Eviscerate, then use Rip and do alot of damage

Ritualist, Paragon, and Dervish would make sense. Also let Warrior’s use Scythe’s if you add Dervish.

Only problem is with the Ritualist, if they wanted to keep it similar to the original Guild Wars, engineer kind of covers it already with the bundles and turrets. Guardian with the Spirit Weapons.

I don’t think Monk would work, Guardian has taken that role.

Druid would be cool

Who else thinks there should be defensive sigils added?

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

I would love to see a Sigil similar to the one of Bloodlust and Perception. Gain +10 toughness for everyone kill up to 25 stacks. Or +7 Vitality up to 25 stacks

So i'm aiming for a Sword/shield support build...

in Warrior

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

I’m a Support player in my guild’s main dungeon team. I have a Vaklyrie Helmet, Shoulders, and Boots. Knight’s Chest, Legs, and Gloves. Knight’s Hammer, and Knight’s Mace/Valkyrie Shield.

I use 5 superior runes of the Dolyak and 1 Superior rune of Svanir. Mace has a Superior Sigil of Air because it was cheap, and Shield has a Superior Rune of Water. Hammer has a Superior Rune of Perception but will probably change to accuracy

Trait points are 0/10/30/30/0. Major traits are Deep Strikes, Missle Deflection, Merciless Hammer, Shield Master, Empower Allies, Lung Capacity, Vigorous Shouts

Utilities are: Healing Signet (unless in a place that needs condition removal then I use mending), For Great Justice, Shake It Off, either Endure Pain or On My Mark. I like Endure Pain so I have a total of 8 seconds of invulnerability with my Shield. Signet of Rage is my usual Elite.

I will have all Beryl Jewelery eventually for added Vitality and Crit Damage.

My usual job in the dungeon is to keep 1-2 silver mobs out of the fight with stun chains. I also pump out decent damage

Best way to decide which profession is the best for me?

My suggestion is to make a character. Go to the heart of the mists, tests out different weapons, traits, utilities, etc. Then do another, and another, etc, etc. You get a good max level feeling and what combos and synergy you can/want to do

I don’t know how good it is in wvwvw. But I’m pretty tough in PvE, using 0, 10, 30, 30, 0. Hammer and Mace and Shield (could be Mace and Axe if you wanted). Half Knight’s and Vaklyrie gear, hoping to get Beryl jewlery eventually. Superior Perception on the Hammer for extra crit chance

Magic Find Doesn't Work

Grok Krog.9581

To Silverghost. It’s not impossible to get gold in this game. Get a rare suit of armor or whatever, 5 runes of the pirate, 1 rune of the traveler (if possible have magic find on your weapon and built into your armor). Get an omnomberry bar, and go farm level 5 fine materials. Get 50 then convert them into the grade 6 materials, sell, ???, profit.

I can make 1-3 gold a day depending on how much I want to farm and how stuff drops.

Do you use the Karma Temple/God Exotic Armor set? what is your gear stat build?

in Warrior

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

Actually, it takes about 1 million karma for a legendary weapon. 525K for a gift of mastery, plus another 500 thousand depending on luck for the clovers

Why do warriors suck so much?

in Warrior

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

I run 0, 20, 20, 30, 0. I use a Hammer and Mace/Axe. Half Knight’s armor, other half Vaklyrie, jewlery will be all Beryl. I do good damage, have great control, and challenging to kill with my 3 healing shouts. Warrior is in a great spot right now, maybe an exception on the ranged weapons. Really we just need a better 3rd downed skill, like Elementalists

I use a Hammer and a Mace/Axe, specced with healing shouts. With my stuns, extra toughness and vitality. I’m pretty tough to kill. I do good damage and give great support in dungeons. I know I’m not a tank but I can take alot more than most people

The problem of the elementalist:

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

I think the main problems with the Elementalist is alot of their skills take way too long to cast, and their damage isn’t high enough for their low survivability.

Best weapons?

in Warrior

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

I love my Hammer and Mace/Axe combo. Alot of control and good damage. I do carry around a Greatsword for farming, and a Bow and Rifle when ranged is needed. But really, all weapons are good if you build for them. Really depends on what you want to do

I don’t got a build calculator thing, but right now I’m running:
0
20
20
30
0.
I use a Hammer and Mace/Axe as my off-set. Switching to a Bow or Rifle when ranged is needed. My utility skills are Healing Signet, FGJ, SIO, OMM, and Signet of Rage. I have alot of defense and put out good damage. As for equipment, I got 3 pieces of Knight’s armor, and 3 pieces of Vaklyrie. When I get my jewelery it’ll probably set up for pure damage since I get plenty of defense already.

Plan to get a Knight’s Exotic Hammer, Knight’s Exotic Mace, and Vaklyrie’s Exotic Axe one of these days

Don’t ask if it’s good for PvP because I pretty much only PvE

I use Hammer and Mace/Axe. I find the traits that work best for me are 30 Arms, 20 Defense, and 20 Discipline. Using half Knight’s half Vaklyrie armor. Good damage and defense

I used to use a Greatsword for the really high damage. Now I use a Hammer. The Hammer damage is awesome, and with a Mace/Axe secondary set, I got tons of stunning power which I use in dungeons to hold off one foe by myself while the group handles the others. It’s not about RAWR DPS all the time, it’s the strategy behind it
