A four signet warrior, wow…..shakeshead

signets are for solo play. other utilities, or most of them are for teamplay.

I don’t use Rifle as it is such a sucky weapon atm. Its purpose is to snipe with f1 skill all the upscaled blue geared players in WvW and then film it + post in forums how good it is with their 20k+ dmg crits.

I don’t know what you are doing wrong but when I leveled my warrior over a year ago it wasn’t as buffed as it is now and it wasn’t hard. I always went full berserker/dps longbow and dual axe. In orr I did have a bit harder time. Those undead were a bit strong cuz you couldn’t get exotics so easily as you could now. So I basicly roamed orr with greens and yellows.

Maybe the enemies are few levels higher? Maybe you don’t dodge power attacks(usually have long noticeable animations)? Maybe your enemies are more than just normal monsters?

Warrior has good defensive stat base. So basicly it shouldn’t be hard.

Could be good in zerg roaming except the dual axe. Could replace those with sword/warhorn so u would have mobility, could give swiftness to allies, 5th skill would be blast finisher.

I find your stats overall a bit low, and no condition cleananse. Your stats are low because trinkets are exotics, so nothing to worry about there. Means it’s cheap build and if it works it works.

Also if you personaly like it and it fits your play style and is what you want to do then go ahead, use it, it’s not away from anyone else thus not a negative thing.

Good luck with it.

Oh I’m sorry for giving counter argument for argument… Didn’t know only he could speak anything of it.

There is this thing we do also in EB JP, 2vs2, 3vs3. I also like to use the same build while runing on zergs. It’s WvW overall and can perform well everywhere. What it does in zergs is supports with shouts and uses longbow to attack enemy zerg + as someone blasts my f1 skill they get might.

Gee, Flaunt, I guess I can not speak of my build and correct the false information other people gives about it without making it flaunting. The other guy seems to think I go semi shout build instead of real shout build. Like I would take only shouts in my utility bar and wouldn’t go soldier runes and correct traits.

Yeah, Flaunt, because you make a thread specifically asking for “a build which isn’t a shout warrior,” then you go on to argue against a post with merits of a shouts build, which I have already explained. I’m trying to focus on the topic at hand (which you made btw), which is Warrior vs. Necro, IE a duel. Shout builds have no place in duels because they aren’t made for 1 vs 1 fights, they are passive benefits to groups, especially if you trait for them and take soldier runes, think about how much of a waste it is to be able to heal and remove conditions in an area, but instead you only have those benefits to yourself in a 1 vs 1, where the total effect would be diminished by 80%.

Again, shout builds are inferior for dueling, I thought you had recognized this since you asked for a non shout build. If you wish to use the same build for all forms of WvW then that’s fine, I can’t and won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to. But just know you’ll never win a 1 vs 1 against a decent Necro with a shout build, it’s just not built for that.

Ah so you mean it’s only acceptable to argue as long as it is/supports your opinion. Gotcha!

Edit: Mace/shield/hammer totaly destroyed the necro. Rather too easily. Gotta avoid that weapon set.

in PvP regen works as players can’t deal same ammounts of dmg as bosses do.

I want to find a good class that can easily dish out high damage and hopefully survive against a pack of mobs in PVE and WvW. So basically right now I’m torn between Warrior or Elementalists. Any suggestions?

Go with a warrior. They are desirable in any aspect of the game, with a fairly straightforward playstyle. Elementalists on the other hand I feel are very gimmicky, and the effort required to play optimally is much more than what is required of a warrior, especially so in PvE.

This is pretty much true. Elementalist is an advanced class. If you dont understand the attunements or how to maximize your build your going to suffer. Warrior is far more straight forward and able to provide pretty much the same utility and much more damage with far less work.

Personally prefer ele just because its more challenging to play effectively.

Nuorus.8415:

if elementalist is underpowered then why it took me 30min to defeat a bunker ele? we were in sPvP, map changed twice, we fought in three different maps and when the 15min line passed I became bored thinking I never ever get him down nor does he get me down. How I won him? I really didn’t, he wanted go to a gym.

I was bunkerish condition warrior.

Im assuming if your running conditions and you couldnt kill him he was using ether renewal. which removes 8 conditions over its ~4 second channel while healing him. fairly short cooldown. animation is painfully easy to spot. interrupt it with a stun and you’ll win.

But then again if your also bunkerish he’ll probably just shrug off your damage with water attunement anyways. Bunker vs bunker can be pretty boring.

You are correct. But it’s not really fair to switch utilities after map changes. I like fair and hard matches not faceroll omg I pwned u all builds(like dagger/pistol thieves ).

Because you are either a bad player, playing a bad build, or both.

Unfortunately for you, you are not the single metric which ArenaNet uses for class balance.

In my opinion you are a bit simple minded and negative way. There are multiple options and you choose the two most negative ones.

What if bouth are bunkers and good players? mmm? Ever thought about that?

Try some positivity in your life once in a while. Negativity gets u Grumpy.

only class I got problem with is a necro. and what kind of necro? Terror Necro. On what kind of player? Experienced player. Other than that mesmer and engineer are next hardests. I got win/loose rate towards those two 1/1 or 50% rate. Terror Necro is Counter to my playstyles and my guildie likes to use it because he beats almost everyone he meets easily with it. I don’t go popular pvp builds because I want challenge and work for the win so I wont go mace/shield/gs. I did try it and it was pretty even with him.

roamzero.9486:

Id also like to see poison buffed as an indirect counter to excessive healing/bunkering. Maybe raise the healing reduction to -50% or make poison stack in intensity (but instead if increasing damage, each stack takes off extra healing %, or maybe have condition removals only remove one stack at a time to make it a more difficult condition to cleanse).

Then give poison to every class instead of invisible thieves and durable necro. Specially when it’s on auto attack. Even Engineer has poison. Now give it to Guardian, Mesmer and Warrior too. I don’t want to waste a sigil for low duration poison (sigil of doom).

Actually that’s a great idea. If every profession had access to poison, then they could do whatever with healing because every profession would have at least one way to counter it.

I wish we could pick what skills were put on our weapons. In say a 1 slot for one slot system.

So if I was a warrior with a sword I could pick from the warrior aa, guardian aa, ranger aa, or mesmer aa. Then for the 2 slot it’s the same either the warriors 2 etc. Would allow me to customize much more. I could run with say the warrior AA, guardian 2, ranger 3 for poison.

I know that sounds strange, but I hate the system GW2 went with. I wish it had gone with something more like gw1.

edit
Poison doesn’t really need the buff, they just need to change the coefficients in passive healing. Take healing signet for example.

392 with .05. So at 100 healing power it’s 397. They could lower the base to say 200, then increase the coefficient on it to something like .30. So with 100 healing power you would get 230, 500 you would be back at 350, and at 1k you would have 500 hps.

Under the old setup it would take around 2k healing power to bring you to the 500 mark. It would reward people for actually putting points into healing power.

also cc is a counter for healing but it requires good timing and the enemy can’t have stability or some other stuff to prevent it. Like block or something.

That’s not really dueling, now is it.. The answer to your original question is easy.

Nuorus.8415:

I would like to ask how to defeat Terror Necro? Is the Hammer builds onlyones able to do this? I have hard time with the chill necro casts so easily.

Don’t play a shout warrior. Your condition removal is only potent in a group setting, in a 1v1 you will get condi-spammed way faster then you can cleanse.

And Hammer is not the only viable. I play mace/shield+GS in WvW and rarely have trouble facing any necro.

I do alot of things and one thing is dueling, the build just seems to work in alot of things.

Yea the GS/mace/shield was rediculously easy and rewarding.

MiLkZz.4789:

They should make a warrior questionniary before you could post here to avoid threads like this. First do your research than make a thread before making a fool out of yourself.

If anything, they should make a range decrease on the Rush.

I agree that the warrior might be strong, but I can’t really give my honest opinion on them. I played 2000+ hours on my warrior and got over 1.5k hours in WvW with him. So yea, I know my warrior better than anything else and I am really skilled with him. So it is normal I win 95%+ of my solo fights and many of my 2vs1 aswel.

Friend of mine stopped playing mesmer because he never lost a fight, other friend owns everything and everyone on a thief, he kitten his own build to give him more of a challange. They both have 1500-2000+ hours on those. So yea, warrior is strong, but don’t ask me if they are OP.

What are your thoughts about thief? You got one? I just made one and for some reason it dagger/pistol was so freaking easy. Blind destroys melee opponents, Poison on auto attack(deals also heavy dmg) destroys healers, so many cap closers, stealth, can go 22+k hp without loosing too much dmg, don’t need weapon swapping thanks to ini system, can spam freaking strong skills. I mean, thief is so freaking easy and so good in 1vs1. I still think mastering it takes weeks or so.

If you’re dueling, use a mace instead of a hammer. Hammer’s for multiple targets, and mace skull crack dominates a single opponent. You can use skull crack to set up your other weapon (a lot of warriors love to skull crack into 100b).

Also, shouts? Why shouts? Run a stability utility of your choice (balanced or dolyak), zerk stance to nullify conditions, and then whatever you feel you need for the last utility (stomp, bolas, fear, adrenaline signet, cure conditions signet).

Shouts with soldier runes and certain traits: 2x Shake it off(4 condis removed), Fear Me, For Great Justice, 6 condis removed and also heals 1000-2000 per shout. The shouts doesn’t only affect myself but also teamates near me. That’s why shouts.

I tried berserker stance but the necro just waited it to wear off, I had balance stance, wore off before I got the Necro killed, and third was bull rush (opponent had lyssa runes like me and blocked my knock downs and if I succeed to knock him down he just does something else (mainly fears me). When I get him low he chills me and heals. Sometimes I’m supriced how fast their healing cooldowns goes down.

My weapons were first sword shield longbow, but then I changed to axe shield longbow. Works so good on every other class than Necro. I wonder if the GS is really so good in PvP?

On my Condition build he mainly transfered my condition back to me Condition transfer ruins my condition build. Or rather counters.

I could make dueling videos with that Necro, he is a guildie and we dueled this time in sPvP.

Also he had quite often Protection boon ruining my evis with axe :/ Chill was the worst though.

Shake It Off is absolutely terrible. 1 condition every 25 seconds. The trait is 20 in a useless trait line, for 1 condition every 30 seconds. With soldier runes and 3 shouts, you sacrifice all offensive potential, all self-utility, and the majority of your defense for a gimmicky healing shout build that can kill nothing.

There’s a reason shout builds haven’t been a thing since BWE1.

You would end a fight with a condition necromancer at 90-100% health using the GS+M/S builds. Cleansing Ire + Signet of Stamina + Berserker Stance is much more condition removal than what you’re going to get from a shout build, and you end fights much quicker and put on much more pressure to the necro.

Cleansing Ire is 3-6 conditions every 7 seconds, Signet of Stamina is a full condition cleanse every 45 seconds (which is 15 seconds less than Signet of Spite), and Berserker Stance is invulnerability from conditions for 8/10 seconds every 45 seconds. What do you mean the necro just waited for Berserker Stance to wear off? Did you twiddle your thumbs for the duration? He literally can do nothing to stop you. Again, warriors hard counter necromancers.

Ehm… 2x 2condition removals + 3000ish healing with 2 Shake It Off. +1500ish healing and cc from Fear me(also a panic escape skill). For great justice, 1500ish healing, dps incrace(I also proc from power as I crit with 47% crit rate). 20-60s cd on those shouts. I would like to duel with u using this build of mine. I just want to show it. PM Leo Frost in game.

Other than that, tried gs mace shield, almost got him. It was so nice. I kept him so pressured he went fully defensive. He was too tanky for my combo and when balance stance wore off his trait feared me always when I stunned him. I bet if I would have succeeded better with combos I would have won. For now he still stays as kitten beater (that sounds bad, anet)

I thought you made the thread for suggestions on how to win a duel with a Terror Necro, not flaunt your shouts build.

The reason you never use a shout build in a duel is that shout builds are support builds, if you have no one to support (since it’s a duel) you are essentially doing nothing. Balanced Stance/Dolyak Signet, Berserker’s Stance, and a utility of choice, dueling build get.

Oh I’m sorry for giving counter argument for argument… Didn’t know only he could speak anything of it.

Hello!

I like to duel a lot and mainly in WvW EB JP.

I would like to ask how to defeat Terror Necro? Is the Hammer builds onlyones able to do this? I have hard time with the chill necro casts so easily.

My leaps and dashes wont reach far from the starting point thanks to the chill so I can not reach the necro too often. So far my best success has been with dual sword condi warrior but I would like to find a power build. Should I go shout warrior (almost all my builds are shout builds)? Would like to find a build which isn’t a shout warrior.

My idea:
Warrior should have Healing signet changed a bit.

What to change:
Make it so if warrior has high hp the regen ticks low. The lower hp gets the stronger the healing gets. (this allows to use the trait well which gives 20% extra power at less than 50% hp)
Changes:
At over than 75% hp it would tick for half of the current hps
At less than 25% hp it would tick twice as much as the current hps
(or if someone suggests it with better values)
Why this change?

Warrior is ment to get stronger as it fights. Like u start gaining adrenaline and getting more powerful (also if mini trait is picked there is a good healing tick per 3s) so first warrior’s healing would be kinda sucky but the more lower it goes the stronger it gets. You could stay alive even if you are low life and proc from certain traits.

Going full berserker in WvW is worst possible idea but hey on the bright side u learn why it is worst possible idea. By learning that you will start understand how WvW works and which things are bad there. I also went full berserker about a year ago and then started to add defensive abilities little by little. Then I went full defensive and found it a bit boring. Couldn’t be killed, can’t kill.

If you go full berserker u will have bad time but meanwhile you will learn and after you learn u will be able to build yourself. Just open your mind and be creative. GW2 allows to be like that. You don’t have to be full dps or immortal tank. You can be a mix!

I’m full berserker and I’m pretty successful in wvw
Just because you have berserker stats on your gear doesn’t mean u have to go dps oriented in everything else

Good for you

But overall it’s more optional to go a bit defensive. Something being optional for certain thing doesn’t mean you have to do it so enjoy your build :P

T/C/H build allows u to duel 30min straight with some other sustain builded class and it gets boring. They can’t kill u and u can’t kill them. This build is good in groups though.

For solo roaming take C/P/T. You get extra bleeds from crits. If u are going for this go dual swords. auto attack adds nice bleed, leap, final thrust can be ignored specially when enemy has more than 50% hp. Agony skill…. so good… kitten good… people usually tries to remove agony right away but as long as your sword is stuck on enemy it will stack the 3 extra stacks. Sword block is kinda offensive block, short cooldown, stacks bleed… really nice. Take also longbow, 5th skill root + 6 nice bleeds, use f1 on rooted enemy, walk near, use 3rd skill and blast some might to you for extra dmg.

If u go condition remember there is classes which can put your conditions from them to you, in other words, transfer conditions. It might hurt. Some transfers can’t be even blocked.

I love sword/sword + longbow soldier rune (shout build). 2k+ heals each shout and it effects teamates too. removes nicely conditions but ofc there is other fun builds out there.

Anyways I prefer Condition, percision and toughness and some items with vitality instead of toughness. Remember nothing says u can only use one type of stats. Mix a bit. 2800armor, 25000hp and condi 2000 with mixed gear is easy to get.

On wvw as warrior u want atleast semi good armor aka 2700armor.
For 1vs1 fighting go condition dmg.
For group vs group I would recommend tanky hammer builds. U can go condition or power with hammer. If you don’t want to be melee fighter u can go condi or power longbow fella.
On group fights u don’t need so much dmg but u need to survive the hits u take. 20 people zerg will have enough AoE dmg to get enemy players down.

If u want to be medicore on bouth group and 1vs1 fights I think u should atleast try condi hammer(confusion stacking) and longbow.

Why condition? Welp condition dmg ignores armor. Allows build tanky without loosing too much dmg.

We should take all the regen warrior has and all the damage while nerfing the armor to the 1000 with best defensive items. Warriors should have perma 25 confusion stack on them while having 1hp total all the time.

Warriors shouldn’t be able to wear weapons or use any attack skills. Only emotes like /dance /laugh /shrug and such.
Warriors shouldn’t be able to use siege weapons.

All these facts of the truth should be nerfed cuz these are totaly legit things. Make warriors free kills plox.

because mesmer was good once upon a time, took a ****load of nerfs, and is now but a shadow of its former glory.

warrior is a rising superstar on the other hand with unmitigated potential for growth.

And yet Mesmers are good on right hands. Just because they aren’t OP doesn’t mean they don’t have potential or any glory.

nicknamenick.2437:

i run lyssa so my signet is also defensive :-)
block next attack (Aegis for 5 sec)
after that -33% damage (protection 5sec)
+ tiny bit healing (regen 5sec)
+ stability.. always nice :-)
and + 5 sec fury/swiftness on your already 30sec from signet.

And ofc a FULL condition wipe

Love it! :-P

But yeah if you run stances or shout it would be nice to get an elite.
Also the elite have to be on long cooldown.. if the shout is on a 25sec cooldown + lyssa = OP… (dunno i think lyssa got a internal cooldown at 35sec i think.. not sure)

Get some boon duration and u will love it even more

Rune of Lyssa FTW!

Philosophy raptor: If all classes are Over Powered

insert imaginary green raptor wondering

Are those Balanced?

Sorry I find it not kewl to nerf ranger.

for PvE: if u want cheap way and deal dmg u take Ruby orbs. If u got gold and want something else than just dmg take runes of divinity. Those are for zerkers. U said almost nothing about ur warrior so I expect u to be glass cannon and so I gave insturctions for glass cannon.

WvW: U do not want to be glass cannon. U want to be tanky, have some utility and deal low-medium dmg. Lyssa runes are awesome everywhere. Those are my personal favorites. If u take Lyssa runes remember to get some boon duration. Lyssa runes makes signet of rage specially good elite.
Rune of Soldier is also good. Better than lyssa if u go shout build.

Also u can do ur own mixes/builds. Just remember nothing forces u to use only one set like knight, berserker, valkyrie, cleric etc. U can mix armors and trinkets.

I can’t take WvW vids seriously when it comes to roamers. Especially heavily edited ones. No idea if the opponents are level 2-80 and what they are specced as.

Of course you cannot, but since your obviously a sPvP expert, come to WvW and do the samething regardless of your “No idea if the opponents are level 2-80 and what they are specced as” garbage.

I have done it with my old out dated build and it went well. I linked the youtube channel here on the warrior forums multiple times to show others. My videos are unedited but as I use free program those can be only 10minutes long. So usually when one episode stops the other will start from where the last one ended.

If u want the opponents with the gear and so on go to EB JP, party with ur enemy and have the duels like rest of us WvW duellers.

Why to duel in WvW? PvE gear.

I have played since 3 days headstart mainly with Warrior and I never understood the hate towards Rangers. The Ranger can do so amazing things, pet is actually useful and ranger brings alot in party so I love to have it in my groups. Also I have found very skilled Rangers in PvP and they makes Rangers shine.

Here is what I don’t really like in certain dungeons:
Thief in arah is a bit horrible. Lacks range. I think their pistols needs atleast a trait to make the range longer. U need range on lupi and some bosses if u ain’t with pro team. I enjoy taking new guys trough arah and if u got low range u get hard time.

Condi Mesmer, in any dungeon, feels kinda … waste of space. Necro can do condis better. Thanks to max condi stacks condi builds overall in dungeons are kinda not so good. I usually take 1-2 condi dealers max to my group because of the max stacks.

Full zerker guardian who doesn’t know anything about the class itself – any dungeon.

any class with mf gear.

I’m lvl52 fracs, I got 500 frac runs and I have dungeon master. 1700hours played. I’m an officer of biggest guild of Aurora Glade(like that matters :P) and I find Rangers USEFUL and always WELCOME to my groups.

Wait, what?
“As a Warrior I can’t understand the hate towards Rangers…pet is actually useful…”
As a Warrior…

I appreciate you having the nice words for the profession but there are obvious and very serious issues with many core designs of the Ranger profession that cannot be denied and are becoming even more apparent with each update. As someone who doesn’t play one and only sees Rangers during casual play or PvP skirmishes those flaws will be much less noticeable. A lot of the general hate is indeed overblown but it isn’t entirely baseless. Again, thank you for your words as an outside perspective.

I do have a ranger too but it’s an alt and not lvl80. I use it mainly on PvP. Why? Because I’m Warrior spirit and love the class. I have tried to play other classes but I always start missing my warrior and go back :d

No problemos amigo

Sniper ones. 2500 range.

Sry but warriors cry after this, so they will get it -.-

Warrior isn’t only class with rifle.

On topic: Yes the pugs I play with aren’t the best. Anet has stated that the game is ment for everyone. From casual to hardcore gamers. Some people can’t play the game much and arah will be hard to those people and that makes them have one dungeon less. Or one dungeon more that they can not do.

I’m just asking an option to those arah newbies or thief newbies to get something a bit easier allowing them to be a bit more useful and feel they are useful. Every other class has long range option.

Weak long range is better than dead short range newbie.

Other option: Put modified charr rifles on a barrel near bosses like lupicus? Every class would get the range and when u get out of the dungeon u would loose it.

Hello!

I’m not a thief but a warrior and I would like to reguest a buff for thieves.

I run arah alot and find thieves not so good in it because of the short range of their skills. If u don’t melee lupicus and other hard bosses u need to range it obviously. Thieves got no option to go really ranged. They will be always be at close distance from the target. It doesn’t matter if the dmg ain’t that good but the distance from bosses like Lupi is important specially when u aren’t so experienced with it.

Make some trait or something like that to upgrade pistols’ range or even shortbow. Just to make thief more useful on dungeons. If u think “Thieves are useful because of their stealth” well mesmer can also do that. Not so well but if u do things right Mesmer is enough and that class actually has range(and dmg AND utility).

Please Anet: Pimp their Thieves!

PS: I don’t like thieves overall :P

You’re lucky. When a necromancer uses spectral walk wearing radiant armor he can see his eyeless character textures.

I still have trouble sleeping at night after playing my necro.

Necro’s are ment to be scary

Sil.4560:

Hm, yeah, I don’t know that I’d want to lose the cripple. I’ve often wished I had poison though, to the point of using a Doom sigil.

I also used Doom sigil to the point I noteced the enemy healed from 30% hp to 90%+ even if poisoned. I don’t know how but I think they have condi removal on their healing. I thought the guardians doesn’t have something like that but their heal is strong with poison or not.

My Warrior is easily destroyed ele using doom sigil while it procs from autument switching.

I also thought about warrior having poison. I was thinking it should be on third skill cuz it isn’t really that useful for condi warrior. Also the aa chain wouldn’t be copy of scepter necro but more like dagger thief. What’s the difference with dagger thief and scepter necro? Scepter necro is ranged. Freaking fast attacks and ranged. Poison destroying sustain build. That is strooooong.

Upgraded the build. It’s now tanky condi dealer with less mobility and High sustain.

If u DC u can rejoin the tournament. We had premade team and one DCed so we played half the match as 4 and at the end he rejoined and we won And then we lived happy ever after!

I find thief as not the most feared opponent but the most coward hiding in the looooong duration stealth. I beated even two thieves with my warrior. My warrior is high sustain warrior with condi dmg while the thieves stabbed me and ran which isn’t enough to kill me because of my regeneration and while they were on stealth my conditions ticket over them.

The only real counter to my build is condition transfer necromancer. I cannot kill it and it surely can burst my 27-28k hp warrior in matter of seconds -_- It’s because I was stupid enough to add all my conditions on him because I thought I could block the condition transfer which I couldn’t do thanks to the necro trait which I think is a bit OP.

Well anyways I find thieves as trash

Feel free to challenge me in a duel. Try to whisper ingame to Leo Frost. I play as warrior.

WTF man I just thought about the same thing last night I was going to make the same suggestion but u were faster

Also I find it as good balanced skill. Except maybe in 5vs5 when enemies have no stability they would all be lured towards u x)

Just leaving this trash out here. I got better build atm but the old broken build did that good and I’m a rookie on dueling.

1-3 videos upcoming during night. If u Want to contact me on the game I mostly play with my warrior and the name is Leo Frost. I’m from Europe and wont play during night.

Bad news. Not only scepter a necro is counter to us but also an ele with doom sigil. Each time ele switches the element she will proc the poison so perma poison even with condi removals -.-

OMG, how can people die to the stun+hb gimmick, really??, did you people know what stun breakers are?, teleports anyone?… my god this really is a l2p issue, warriors suck man.

Sword dosent stun by the way, probably you are talking about the inmovilisation of the sword burst skill but that isnt a stun.

Edit: tell us the name of the warrior and the server and we can check him to confirm that is a typicall skull crack gimmick build.

It just might be that he talks about the F1 skill of the sword… it’s root not stun… about 7-8s cd and got nice root duration.

It was probably MACE + shield, not sword. The stun is melee range so just don’t let him get close.

lol they can just use a gap closer then use the stun. besides most of them pack a long range weapon too.

It’s impossible for a warrior to 4 sec stun you, 100b you, and have a ranged weapon. After he closes with his GS, the mace will come out. Dodge away, CC him, use stability… whatever it is that you do and enjoy kiting him for the next 5 seconds. When he switches back to GS to close again, and the mace comes out, rinse and repeat.

either he is making it up or he met a hacker.

and why is sigil of generosity so expensive ._. My sigils seem to sux as

Can u help with choosing sigils?

doc phil.8015:

Nice vids. It is an uncommon weapon choice so it’s nice to see someone make it work.
Do you really think condition damage is worth it though? I guess you don’t want to change your hard earned armor and weapons but with full berserker gear (well 2 ascended knights I think) and weapons and melandru runes my bleeds are almost the same and my burning and overall damage is actually higher. But I guess you’ve probably tried it out and found what suits you. I liked how you kept a cool head against the thief for example. I love the sword block with low cd, I should really try it again but I so love the mace/shield right now.
So thanks for the videos and keep up the good work.

I got multiple armors with different stats. In my inventory u can see my zerker armor. It’s for PvE. This armor is for WvW roaming and also works on zerging. It really wasn’t hard earned armor :P 80-90silver each pieace. Condition dmg is better in PvP while Power is better in PvE. Why? Condition ignores armor. Also u don’t have to hit more than the few skills to apply ur conditions and u can watch from distance while those deals damage. Thief stealths with ur conditions on? No problem, will find him downed after stealth wears off. He tries to run? No problem Torment takes care of that.

The condition damage allows u build a bit tankier in my experience. Also it is good to take defensive and utility traits instead of offensive as those can’t be found on armor stats like “+ dmg” can be found. On 1vs2 u can apply conditions on one of the foes and kite them while ur regen ticks health back to u. The other foes is dying and u might be able to finish him, and u now can deal with the other foe too even if u got half hp.

If u don’t belive that 1vs2 ask Thescrappydog (commenter on one of the youtube vids). We did 1vs2 (power warrior, tanky guardian) vs me. I won 1 out of 3 and on those 2 losses I died while tried to finish off one of them :P

The build itself is semi tanky, semi good dmg and good mobility with awesome regen.

“Remember, you saw it here first.” – Just lol…

Instead of making us go through some screenshots you could put your build up on intothemists. com. Looking at your vids the build seems pretty interesting even tho I’m not a huge fan of dual swords. Btw its not showing good sportsmanship to call your opponents boring on a video imo :p

I don’t put it there again as the outdated build is there and the site itself wont show exactly the right ones.

And did I call them boring? I said I need to find better opponents and that is because I think viewers doesn’t approve not fully geared opponents, 2+vs1 fights (unfair) or upscaled opponents.

Even if NPC helps me, it ruins the whole fight.

You’re right I did miss read that you said “boring” ^^

Also have you tried putting the build up on a freshpage and not just over your old build? The site tends to bug a little.

No sorry I haven’t tried to put it again there because the first time I did I started to dislike that page. It shows only somewhat near the real build and not actually the real build which resulted to a request of taking screenshots of my build and so I did

Ok lets say this way: I do it again if u want to.

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-s;4NKFP0;360;9;59T-T;12;0478;1259JoX6;2ytbUytbUE0kzsED7;3qVw0-Y3ZB4G5910J7-1;9;9;8F;0FF;9;9;7V6s5L

Tell me if I missed something.
Why sigil of doom? 5second weapon swap, nice poison which prevents enemy from healing so nicely as u can see from videos the enemy heals are strong. Specially the upcoming videos will show that the enemies are very low hp and will heal themselves to almost full hp.

There’s also 4 videos now. Will be 11 in the end but it takes 5-8 hours to upload one and I want to play during day so I upload during night. 1-2 vids each night.
