as a rule of thumb, is it fair to say that a non bunker/tank warrior needs:
1. at least between 40 and 50+ crit chance?
2. at least between 40 and 50 + crit damage?
3. around 2000 power?
4. 20k HP…at least?
5. How much toughness??
does it make sense?
thanks for the reply! I like the cooldown on our main heal too much…makes me feel safer! GS is definitely my main but I also keep a hammer and switch between weapons
Once you hit a 40-50% crit chance thresh hold you generally want to focus power/crit dmg for increased damage, hence why Cavaliers is a better bet than Knights.
I really like this thread. I was wondering if you could make a couple of bullet points with some main suggestions (like the one above) with regards to warriors in WvW. that’d be great
First of all I must say that I’m enjoying playing a guardian: even with subpar gear I feel I’m much more solid than my warrior and ranger. I may not do as much damage but my theory is that a dead char cannot do any damage at all lol
Plus the group utility of the guardian is simply amazing!
I pinched several builds on the forum and I can say that I’m not too keen on meditation builds (too little for the group) and AH builds….they both make perfect sense but they don’t suit my play stile. For some reasons I settled with a shouts build which I hope could be a good compromise…kind of jack of all trades
what do you think? what should I change?
many thanks in advance for any help

Any help/hints with this build?
or this one (I like signet mastery!):

I like the idea of long-er lasting boons and I tried to create something balanced with enough HPs without loosing any kind of chance of making a kill. I’ve just reached lv 80 some i’m still a ’youngish player when it comes to WvW.
What do you think?

What do you think, oh mighty Titan, about this build?
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQRAne8XjgO9uxO6OMxBE0DNML2ijClIAVKsj2A-jEyAYrQjuCUCsIaslxioxqWwUnCpa4I7xFSlBgZCA-w
I tried to stay balanced and keep hp to at least 20k whilst having 50+ crit chance. Runes and food to deal with conditions.
Weapon wise my idea is to face large groups with Sword/Axe (jump in and whirl) and Axe/Shield (eviscerate/defensive stuff). Option B is to keep a rifle with me to use with whilst roaming (hence skill VII in arms.) . I’m not sure why but I never fund myself at ease with 2handers…feeling kinda clunky
A small doubt with the runes………. I was tempted to go for the boon duration combo (posted by someone before) to keep the boons from Sig of Rage up permanently
Many thanks!!!!

Ok, I’ve looked around and I’m in between a meditation or AH build? mmmmm what do you think?
any suggestions for a non cleric build?
Guardian.
GS + Sw/Focus + full Clerics + healing/boon duration rune set (3x Monk, 3x Water) 0/0/10/30/30 3x Shout + Virtues Healway build. Google/Youtube it.
That build also works well in ZvZ, just swap in Staff + Hammer and now you’re a zerg frontliner.
That said, a tanky 10/0/30/0/30 hammer train warrior in a zerg is the most fun I’ve had in WvW yet. But it’s quite a challenge 1v1’ing good players with it.
I like the sound of this build but I fear that I’d end up incapable of killing anything! I may be 100% wrong though!
how about melandru runes for conditions?
I’m aware that other classes may do a lot better but I’m fixated on guardians and warriors.
I’m looking for opinions from more expert players to help me choose the best class for me. Any suggestions or hints? Any specific build?
many thanks
I think an AH build could be the way forward: any specific suggestion?
and gear wise: I went Zerk before but it felt way too squishy. Cleric or Valks…am I actually gonna kill anything?
How about knight gear?
thanks Aeolus.3615: any specific build/gear you have in mind?
Well….how do I put it… I really struggle in WvW as I cannot find a right build or play style to suit my needs.
If I go for survivability I can live longer but I find it near to impossible to kill anyone else unless an ally pops up for the extra dps that I lack.
On the other hand if I go dps (less surviv. & healing) I’m the classic glass cannon that will drop as a fly as soon as the pressure comes towards me.
Is there any balanced enough build that would allow decent survivability without zeroing my chances to kill other? Are hybrids build actually worth it?
I like the idea of running with GS and AXE/SH
what do you think about this build?

thanks
what do you think about this build?

I thought about dual axe but I feel I’d be losing too much mobility
(edited by Rhaegar.5120)
still getting ‘bad link’
anyone speccing into Radiance for more crit chance? is it worth it?
thanks for the really interesting points. One question I have in mind is: will we get enough badges with a defensive build?
Before you deem my request as foolsih let me add that I play on the Rp server and I really really really struggle to see my heavy armour character using a scepter or staff in a battle.
Given the above I have to say that I’m finding it hard to discover a decent build & weapon combo that is suitable in WvW and hence, here I am asking for some hints (one of them may even be…go and play a warrior lol).
I’m thinking sword + shield & GS (I’d be happy to keep a staff or scepter in the bag for ‘situational’ needs).
Any suggestions in regards to traits, weapons, utilities & play style? Or should I simply give up lol
many thanks
hey Screenager, thanks for your post. I’m not entirely sure I’d fit the guild playstyle: it seems you are looking for players more on the hardcore side
Hey there! Check out MF! We are big into the WvW and have all hands nights all week so we can organize and plan to get some epic fights in! I’ll PM you with some information about our guild!
Hi Nixx and thanks for your post! I checked your guild out and it sounds great…unfortunately I’m looking for a ‘home’ on a European server. Thanks again!
Hello all,
I’m a relatively new player on GW2 (lv 55 warrior so far) and I’m looking for a guild.
Ideally I’d love to find one that could be defined as mature and WvW focused.
I’m in my mid 30s and the idea of mature, by all means, is not just an age (although it would be hard for me to play in a guild where the average age is 18 lol!!!) concept but also a way of playing. MY idea of a mature guild is a group of pople who are able to laugh and joke whitout being exposed to incessant crap and BS. Mature is also related to being able to have a minimal level of organization whilst not getting over the top in regards to stuff like “if you don’t play 17 hours a day you’re out!” lol
The other point, WvW, is pretty quick: WvW is the part of GW2 I play the most. Having said that I’m quite happy to take part in PvE too!
In regards to myself I can say that I’ve been a mmorpg player from the era of UO. After UO I played pretty much all the mmorpgs with special love for Lineage II (I had sooooo much more time back then) and AOC. Due to the fact that I work full time and I have a family I can already tell you: I’m no hardcore player!!! Nevertheless I feel I can be a good team player!
At the moment I’m playing on Seafarer’s rest but I’ve no problems to move to a different EU server as long as it is decently populated (like the guild lol).
Thanks

what strategy would you reccomend at low level when superior runes are not available?
Hello,
I’ve just started a new war and I’m not really sure about using a GS in WvW. Our main damage skill is HB but I feel that there won’t be many players who will be stupid enough to sit in front of me for 3 seconds (without any anti cc) waiting to get killed by HB……I certainly didn’t with my guardian and I generally managed to avoid HB or at least big part of it.
I’m thinking about a non-GS build for WvW and I had Axe/Warhorn & Sword/axe (with a rifle as 3rd ‘situational weapon’) in mind using Eviscerate and Whirling Axe as my main attacks.
A lot more mobility than HB but also, I’m aware, potentially less damage.
What do you guys think?
