longbow/longbow….? is this a troll ranger build?
s/d feels useless against condi engi’s not gonna lie
You probably need to go S/F because the /D will get you killed if you get close to the engi.
:( but if i’m defending a point and engi comes to take it, how do i not get close to him? (apart from not defending a point in the first place)

Did anything else apart from water trident get a buff? because before patch, I remember ppl saying that elem falls short in tourneys.
Is S/D now obsolete in sPVP after the dagger buff? Thanks.
berserker. you get plenty of survivability from healing, shield, GS 3, the stances.

made it on the spot but solid
there seems to be around 0.5sec ~0.7sec delay between mouth movement n actual voice
hambow is definitely the go to build in a group setting, not so much for a roamer/dueling
tru that

go GS/LB build, i’d say. it was by far the best dueling build and since it has great mobility, you can force 1v1’s often with easy escapes. with the longbow nerfs, obviously not as op as before.
i mained warrior before patch and after, i can’t bring myself to play the class again. longbow has been nerfed far too hard and i felt that it was one of the best weapon choices against bunkers/thieves.
did all these fools ignore what you wrote about mobility and survivability? guardians have the least mobility in the game apart from access to swiftness. I’d say warrior with a greatsword / longbow stance build but if you prefer a ‘squishier’ but more evasive class, thief has highest mobility in game.
warriors ARE exceptionally good at orb carrying
but why the hell would they need to balance the game around orb carrying? some classes are just better at some things. what a pointless thread.
what hammer is that btw?
thanks for sharing logi. I loved the intro. I also play warrior but I don’t belong in a team so i found it super interesting how the team dynamics completely changes the feel of the game
0/20/20/0/30 is probably the most standard
i edited the build a bit (a lot) based on my PERSONAL opinion. I’d recommend using berserker for an all in but ofc that’d leave you quite squishy. But IMO it’s pointless to go axe builds without berserker since knight axe does no dmg

agreed! thanks for bringing this up
As the above says. This build will give you great mobility and an amazing 1v1 skill set even against the toughest mesmers/engi’s, etc. I did find that it can be a little bit weaker against OTHER WARRIORS with builds specifically aimed against warriors (e.g. axe/s + LB builds) but will absolutely destroy condition warriors + others.
This build was proven to be consistent not only by me but by other GS lovers in duel rooms as well as a very strong 1v1 build. The key is that you’re using GS, which allows you great mobility in sPVP (so you’re always able to force 1v1’s or force far).
Here’s the build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJATRjkOxupQyQMxBEkCNsKMKOCgQ9APqj4A-ToAg0CnIKSVkrITRyisFN+YZB
Most of the traits are no brainer (cleansing ire + burst mastery + slashing power + vigorous focus)
Here’s some that might raise a brow:
Short Temper: 3 might stacks is actually invaluable considering you get it EVERY TIME you’re blocked.
Against engineers, other warriors, and guardians especially who block you all the time, you’re looking at 10-12 stacks of might build up almost instantly. They last a whooping 5 seconds so you’re able to have a lot of fun with it.
Mobile Strikes : Again, helps greatly with your mobility. Against mesmers and engis who love those immo’s, this is invaluable. Remember that GS 3, GS 5, and bullcharge are all move speed skills.
Signet of Fire on GS: Helps greatly against pet builds + mesmers. Rolling in + spin with GS 3 + fire proc WILL oneshot all phantasms regardless of their build.
If you’re feeling extra adventurous (like vassangel) try substituting out the Berserker Stance for Frenzy
vassangel dominates in duels
He lost to Anas Tarcis.
you realize that great players lose sometimes, too
vassangel dominates in duels
biggest problem with this build is that you’ll literally melt to any good mesmer/thief in 2 seconds if they’re not condi spec
well are you looking for an spvp build or a pve build and maybe the community can give you some suggestions
reckless dodge is amazing. not only does it do decent damage, it has a chance to crit/proc things NOT TO MENTION it’s an AOE (amazing against mesmers). it is in no way ‘counter-intuitive’ since many a times you want to close gap and rolling in is a great way to add burst.
other points i agree to an extent.
engi’s nades shouldn’t really be considered ‘burst’ seeing how it’s so consistent in its ridiculous damage.
toughness is the way to go. i don’t know why anyone would ever pick vitality over toughness, especially if you’re running HoS build.
i’d try suggesting duels + spvp hot joins.
if you can pvp, you can pve. not the way around.
thanks rallad!

Is the set bugged? It seems like it can’t be crafted and it’s extremely rare in deer chests (if they drop at all). I can’t imagine this would have been intended since this isn’t the case for rabbit sets nor is it for wolf sets
can anyone confirm this?
not s ure if gasmic even looked at your build.
condition builds WILL give you hell with that build. I’d suggest either putting in at least 20 into water or drop the fresh air altogether if you want a good fight against condition heavy builds.
Not sure if Jae knows Elementalist at all:
Ether Renewal = -8 Conditions on 12 second timer
Cleansing Fire = – 3 Conditions on a 40 second timer < Waste
Cleansing Wave = -1 Condition on a 40 second timer
Water Attunement Evasive Arcana = – 1 Condition on a 10 second timer
Phoenix = – 1 Condition on a 20 second timerYou DO NOT need to spec into water for Condition Removal; there are MUCH better ways to access it than to waste points into the Water tree.
There is lots of Condition removal in this build especially in Ether Renewal. I use Ether Renewal even when I’m close to full health to keep myself free of conditions because I know it’ll be up again next time I need it. It also keeps me at full health which keeps my Scholar runes proccing.
i like how you list some skills out as if you can’t get them without going your build (i.e. phoenix and ether renewal)
but nice try.
btw cleansing wave trait has 0 sec cd so it actually procs every time u go into water, without the 40sec cd
it’s just sad that you even have to pick up ether renewal just for the sake of surviving against condition builds lol.

Thanks Guyz !!
BTW : Whats Ur Opinion About Asura.. About Their Animations As Warrior?
asura has pretty nice animation and it seems to me like they put much more effort into it. being small also has an advantage in pvp.
that being said, some people feel that they don’t feel ‘powerful’ enough when playing asura. up to your personal preference i guess
i do suggest sword or greatsword for leveling because they give you a lot of mobility (hence speed up the leveling process)
race won’t matter period. the weapon and such is really situational so i’d suggest playing around with’em all to unlock the skills, and use whichever you want. the only time the weapon matters will be in PVP and in late game contents.
definitely agreed.
:( where it be?
plz
Elementalists do fine in duels right now but they’re really lackluster in tournament pvp. you’ll do okay in spvp if you’re really good at the class.
warrior is pretty fine where it is.
HoS is only op if the warrior goes tanky (e.g. banner regen build).
your proposed nerfs suggest that you have a shallow understanding of both the class and the overall state of the class balance right now.
reading some of these posts gave me cancer. i really think anet is better off attending to players who have actually proven themselves through tournaments and ‘well known’ players rather than random jibjabs on the forum.
nope! use them to stack glory and buy stuff
why’s there no option to report for griefing and exploiting?
i agree. the combat system in this game was always fluid – the most fluid in its genre, EVER. the game will only get better with such a solid foundation.
Could you please implement an in-game consumable (like a candy) that makes your character’s head 5 times bigger?
Please!
the second picture just looks like your character is having a mental breakdown
mesmers are the king of duel. i suggest you try harder next time you troll.
condition, hambow, they’re all viable
i’d suggest going into pvp locker in heart of the mist and do some mix n matching
