Guild Wars 2

No, never celestial. Celestial is not worth the time to make, nor is it beneficial in any way. Avoid it. If berserker isn’t working for you try practicing evades, know what to watch out for.

No, so much no to this its inexplicable.

My meta is high DPS high survive. Click the link in my SIG. 3k armor 50+% crit 91% crit DMG 20k hp. 30/0/25/0/15. Tried and tested. It has survived 4 skill patches with zero impact to it whatsoever.

I finished my celestial armor recently and so I’ve modified the trinkets. But in 5v10+ I’m outliving my guardian buddy who is built to survive, while I down one and move to the next while everyone else stomps.

this is a WvW build. However it functions the same in PvE and spvp obviously minus the food.

That build is trash in pve and hardly meta in wvw. Who are you trying to fool?

I said my meta not the meta. I crit for 40k in PvE in 100b so tell me how that’s trash in PvE? Learn to read.

40k is fairly week, assuming that is your highest crit. With the current zerker meta a 40k Hundred Blades is nothing to me anymore. I would also like to mention the waste of stats going to 3k armor which should be rendered useless if you can use the Evade properly.

An eviscerate build will not be optimal for PvE purposes. Some of the best warrior traits revolve around having full adrenaline, not to mention if your eviscerate fails to critical hit then your damage will plummet significantly.

If you have 2 other warrior in the party or an engineer the Vuln stacking should be covered, this is where sword offhand will thrive since overstacking the vuln that high is completely worthless. Also, Rip hits significantly higher than tremor (which shouldn’t be used for DPS, but for utility such as interrupting the Arah path 2 abominations.)

Trice.4598:

People usually avoid the 20 in Zeal with Sw/Fc – GS. the 5 % damage with greatsword isn’t worth it and you only have 1 symbol so the symbolic exposure is kinda useless.

If I were you I’d go with the 10/30/0/5/25 with the 25 in virtue you get 1% damage per boon (so the 5% you lost with GS is no longer a problem) you also get boon removal when using virtue of resolve, which is an instant cast 1200 radius 3 boons removal for the party (very nice) and if you don’t need boon removal (in alot of dungeon it’s useless) you can put unscated contender which give 20% extra damage when having aegis.

10 in honor is only good for shout and you probably won’t have alot of shout in your utilities.

You want to run Wall of reflection, Purging flame, Something shield of the avenger, Retreat.

It’s a hard build at first, but with the reflect/aegis you can pretty much do every boss without getting hit in dungeon (if your party is killing fast enough)

Basically what Trice here says. Also, 20 in Virtues for Indomitable courage (being situational) and Virtue of resolve condition cleanse are quite nice to have access to.

I got a sword skin two days ago, although it did not come in a box (Q_Q) it was actually a skin. That does not really justify Anet kittening up.

Great in WvW too.

As someone stated the staff is a support weapon. I’ve been plying this way since BWE. It’s extremely effective support. I don’t care how much damage I do – that’s not my role. Honestly the fact that I do any damage at all is just a bonus. Let the other 4 people damage while I keep them cleansed, rez them, buff them and use whatever I can to make the fight easier be it a projectile reflect or stability.

All my symbols heal and they are all huge so when I drop Symbol of Swiftness I’m giving you swiftness to get out of the way of attacks, healing you with 5 pulses and giving you a Light combo field for cleansing or retaliation – so you do more damage and receive less. Meanwhile Orb of light heals whoever it passes by and I can detonate it for more healing. Empower gives Might and a heal at the end. And if you creatively use Line of Warding you can not only stop following enemies during runs but assist kiters or protect the range camp from attacks. I heal you when I dodge, you all have my Virtue of Resolve passive heal – which is stronger and stacks with Regen as it’s a separate buff. My Mega support Elite lasts 10 seconds longer, which is a lot when you can spam Heal Area. And I have 3 group cleanses not including cleases that happen with Light Field.

Why Toughness and Boon duration? Well.. I need to be alive to heal and rez you don’t I? I already have plenty to cleanse, so Vitality is moot. With Boon Duration I get longer regen and protection. And yes I am lacking on damage, so the longer I can keep my might or fury or whatever boons are flying around the better off I am. Granted, it may take me a year to kill something, but I’ll still be standing.

As I stated, I was a healer for 6 years, this is the role I am comfortable in, it’s a role I enjoy.

So when you see a Guardian with a Staff… assume this is why.

Begins to chant We play how we want. We play how we want…

I, personally can solo path 2 of arah. I do it for fun and to hone my skill level. So when I complete the path I could just finish the last boss and be on with my life, or I could provide a public service by selling the spots to the “less fortunate” who may not be able to complete the dungeon, even with a group. Is that so wrong of me?

Greatsword is an excellent weapong for 100b, vuln on auto chain, mobility, and the extra evade+damage. Axe however is more reliable damage on the auto chain a mace or sword offhand are proven to be the best, speaking in DPS terms. Rip (sword 4) can do very high damage and is more beneficial than mace ONLY when the party is maxed out on vuln stacks, otherwise mace is the better option for the 4 skill and tremor is very nice to have for trash mobs.

Hey guys,
I´m using a 30/25/0/0/15 zerker warrior atm.
My weapons are GS/dAxe:)
So what are the stats I should use for my exotic or ascended trinkets?
Berserker or something different?
And what sigils and runes should I use on my equipment?
I´ve no idea about runes and sigils:)
The last question is which traits should I choose?
Would be nice if you could help me out with that stuff quickly.
ty:)

For sigils I use an axe/warhorn for stacking purposes (perception is best for warrior). Then I have an axe with force and a mace with battle. My greatsword is also force, as for ranged weapons it doesnt really matter unless you range often then force/night would be the best option. Also, if you run certain dungeons often such as CoF you can use a Night sigil and a Specific dungeon 10% sigil the damage bonuses WILL stack, however this does not apply to using 2 sigils of force.
As for traits with the 30/25/0/0/15 They should look something like this:
Strength:V(dual weilding), IX(Slashing power), XI(Berserker’s Power).
Arms:V(Rending Strikes), X(Forceful Greatsword)
Discipline: VI(Signet mastery)***This trait is based on use preference, Warrior’s sprint is also acceptable. Hope this answered your questions.

I’ve tried many many times to buy gems for the awesome new stuff that’s coming out lately, but i keep getting the failed message. I’ve tried with both my personal card as well as a pre-paid debit card i had recently gotten as a gift and both have the same outcome. Please help, i did also submit a ticket in game.
