Spent 300 Gold on Exotic Greatswords and threw them in the Mystic Toilet.
Got Dawn though
I run Sigil of Air and Sigil of Fire on my Greatsword
He’s finished.
Play 04406 gs longbow with cele amu and geomancy /doom sigill. Its the only gs build which is viable in pvp atm
What rune do you use?
intel on GS ?!!
Yes, combined with Impact it makes 100B or Whirlwind deal massive damage on weopon swap to a stunned opponent.
I think you guys are seriously underestimating the damage on this build. Give it a try for yourself if you enjoy Hammer/GS. I use Signet of Might because the build is already tanky and i prefer the extra power. You can bunker down on a capture point and still dish out some sick damage later on in the fight when they no longer have stability.
I’m just not a fan of the Longbow in sPvP. I love it in WvWvW though.

The damage of the skills hasn’t been reduced by… 5%?
And don’t you obtained a new F1 skills that deal more damage than before?
Expecially in sPvP, there’s not a damage reduction.
There’s a littel bug on rush, I think, but the other skills works.100B is one of the most powerfull skill of the Warrior and you can use it every 8 seconds, increasing you Adrenaline and dealing a large amount of damage.
I’ve find a warrior using Bolas utility skill. He immobilized me for 4 sec and hit me easy with 100B every 16/20 sec.
Add a Hammer that stun your enemy easy, immunity to direct and condition damage and you don’t need nothing more to kill all the enemy you want.If you can use a stunbreak you can remove stun, or clean immobilize with a skill, and save for a X% of 100B damage, but you always take damabe befor you move out. Then the next bolas hit you and you take all the damage of the 100B, if you’ve not skills to remove immobilize.
I used a warrior and I’ll never be able to kill thatkitten** warrior
So much immobilize, so much stun, so much damageGS grant you high mobility and you can obtain some skills to stun/immobilize your enemy. Then, use that F*** skills and don’t say that 100B is a bad skill in spvp.
100B is bad in PvP. If you are lucky it gets 3 hits in.
After many weeks of playing around with different builds I think I have found what seems to work best for Greatsword lovers like myself. Pretty tanky build, and great damage when your opponents are stunned or knocked down.
Must be timely with your stuns/knockdowns because that is when most of your damage is going to come into play. If you can pull off a successful Hammer rotation ending with Earthshaker and following up with 100B’s you will destroy your opponent. The Sigil of Intel and Sigil of Impact on the Greatsword stacks some massive damage on 100B’s or Whirlwind on weopon swap if our opponent is stunned.

If you want to be even more tanky then swap for Rune of the Dolyak. You will be suprised at how much damage you can still do with this setup, but almost be unkillable 1v1 with Dolyak rune.
Let me know what you guys think.

I’m even fine with the adrenaline decay, but we are a MELEE class. Stop nerfing our weopon damage!
The GS is a mobility weapon and no dmg weapon. If you need dmg than use an axe
My point exactly. Some of us like to use GS in PvP, but it’s just weak. If your targets don’t stand still its a useless weopon.
Starting using Hambow last night and it makes me sad.
Still don’t get it. I would like to hear from a Moderator or Admin on the explanation of why they would do something so stupid.
The only time I would use it is if you cannot get away from the fight and you are 2 hits from dying.
That is the only time you should ever pop healing signets active.
To this day I still cannot understand why the damage got nerfed on Greatsword. First of all its a movement weopon and second, if someone gets caught in 100B then they are noob anyway.
Gives us our damage back on the Greatsword please. It’s my favorite weopon and have used it for 1300 hours of gameplay, but I’m about to give it up because it does crap for damage in PvP.
I have all the mats collected for making my Ascended Armor Heavy Set and I can only craft one Spool of Silk Weaving Thread per day, which means I can only make one Bolt of Damask per day?
Please explain why the **** they would put a time gate on crafting? I’m forced to wait 25 days to make my full set. I can’t understand this at all.
Dunno it didn’t seem very profitable to me, I opened 2 stacks of those coin purses and wasn’t really satisfied it’s RNG based and to be honest for gold purposes Cursed shore lootbag farming and Dungeons are more reliable
Considering I made about 120 gold today I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with you.
I fail to see how. I’ve gotten a lot of dragonite ore but I’m not really getting anything sellable, just salvage junk but not even enough silk to really make a difference.
Opening exactly 500 Exotic Coin Purses again today netted me 94 gold today. So one day opening 500 I got 120 gold and today opening 500 got me 94 gold. Pretty big difference, but prices are also dropping and I’m a fire seller so I just sell instantly on the TP.
The main money maker is selling the t6 mats and you get about a stack of silk from salvaging all the blues and greens. Gotten about 3 exotics each time opening 500 bags and several rares that I salvage for ectos.
In 1000 bags so far I have also gotten 4 charged lodestones that sell for 3 gold each. If you are salvaging and selling everything you should make probably a minimum of 80 gold per 500 Exotic Coin Purses in my opinion.
It is by far the best farm in the game considering you can get about 80 Purses/HR so 12.5 hrs for 1000 Exotic Bags. 214 Gold in 12.5 hrs is 17.12 gold per hr.
17.12 Gold Per Hour is a kitten good farm in this game.

I got a Celestial Ascended Weopon chest yesteday, so I’m just fine with what’s coming out of the bags.
+10000000
I’m so sick of spam clicking stacks of 250.
The skill tends to interrupt itself giving a short cool down but not actually firing. This can be rather annoying given is the most important skill when fighting in PvP or wanting to put out some serious mob damage in PvE.
Please look into this one quickly.

I look at it as a gift from ANET, no matter how long it lasts before getting nerfed it has been a nice way to finally make some gold.
I think your computer and/or internet isn’t good enough.
Don’t think this is a bug, more like a gift from ANET for once so we can make some gold.
We need more use of this city. This may be one of the most epic, well constructed cities I have every seen in an MMO and it is of no use.
Why Lions Arch? Why not Divinity’s Reach?
4 Rare Greatswords = Dawn
About a month after release, and I was only trying to make an Exotic so I could have a better weopon lol.
Thank you. I was leaning towards Knights, but I think you have all changed my mind.
I switch it up on the roaming and zerging. I have an Exotic Set of PTV with Dolyak signet that i use for zerging which is plenty of survivability. I guess I’m looking for more roaming gear.
So you say go zerk for roam instead of knights.
I don’t use Sword and War Horn. I would say 90% of the time I’m running GS/LB or GS/Hammer.
Always have Greatsword, it is my favorite weapon.
I’m about to craft my Ascended Armor set and I can’t decide to go with Berserker’s or Knights.
I run mostly GS/Hammer and GS/LB or Hammer/LB, but I prefer keeping the GS for mobility. I’m a World vs World player at heart so that is where I will spend most of my time. I know Berserkers is a no brainer for PvE, but what about for WvWvW?
I’m leaning towards Knights, but going Zerk and Speccing 0/0/6/6/2 is tempting.
Need help… I’m stumped and don’t want to regret my decision.
The class is so weak now it made me come to the forums to see what in the kitten was going on.
I only play Warrior and this killed the game for me. Time to find a new MMO, at least until they fix it.
Warrior is just a little kitten punching bag now.
LOL… I haven’t played in about a month. I had no idea about any nerfs. I was so weak in PvP that it made me come to the forum to see wtf was going on.
This game is so stupid. Warrior is supposed to be an in your face high damage dealing class and now I can’t even get close enough to hit all these invisible, dissapearing classes. Can’t stun them long enough to hit them with 100B because I can’t get my adrenaline full.
Class has become the worst class in the game.
I haven’t run a fractal in over a week now because the loot started to suck. Something was changed and there is no doubt about that. Mainly lodestones like one guy above said. I used to get at least 1 every day in 2 or 3 fractal runs. I haven’t gotten a lodestone in a month.
Don’t really have another use for the gold since I don’t roll alts in MMO’s. Time to start helping guildies get to that Legendary
Seriously, just save your gold and buy one. It really isn’t that hard. I just farmed 60 gold in a week. It’s an MMO. Take your time and if you want it then work for it and stop complaining. You can farm 500 gold in Orr in 2 months with ease.
I would like to make Eternity, and I don’t have any mats or Dusk yet you don’t see me on here complaining about it. It comes with time. You guys are making this legendary thing like a job. Who cares? Really.

What you are saying is exactly why I did Vital Infusions. I figured that damage is so random that +15 Power or +15 Precision wouldn’t make much of a difference. Like you said the +15 Precision would give you about 1% which is almost useless. +15 Power wouldn’t make much difference since I’m already a Crit/Prec build mostly.
Figured the best thing for my character would be to get a little more HP. I know 150 isn’t much, but the next time I escape a situation with 150 or less HP I will know that it was all worth it.
I would also assume that you can infuse the amulet. Guess we will find out in 7 days like the other guy said.
So I crafted vital infusions for all three of my ascended pieces of gear, and, for those of you who don’t know, that is a lot of gold for a very MINIMAL boost. Each infusion costs around 20 Gold and you get a +50 to your total HP.
Basically 60 Gold spent for +150 HP. Pretty good gold sink in these vital infusions.
I had every Ascended piece available in 3 weeks. I’m not even a hardcore player. You people need to get a grip. Its not much a grind.
I think they are to easy to get.
Such a waste. The mystic forge is a terrible game mechanic. Devs should be ashamed.
It was their quick solution to regulating the economy—have items magically disappear for very little in return. Otherwise T5/T6 mats, etc. would be so inexpensive and worthless.
…Then that backfired. Would be an awesome game mechanic if there were set recipes for everything… not just everything but the Precursors. But then again there were set recipes for them a while ago that were nerfed. If they hadn’t nerfed them, how much different would the economy be?!
As for what I’ve lost, I’m standing in the range of 250g with no end in sight. Let’s see how much more I can gamble away! (I hate gambling. But they literally leave me no option…)
All you people gambling for a precursor are either stupid or full of it. If you have wasted 500g trying to make a precursor I feel sorry for your intelligence.
Just buy one.
As for this guy, no I will not buy your controlled market Precursor.
I don’t sell precursors. I just bought mine when I was ready for it. You people are so dumb to sit there and throw 300g away into the Mystic Forge. Hell at the rate you made 300g you would have your legendary in just a couple more months if you would just buy it.
All you people gambling for a precursor are either stupid or full of it. If you have wasted 500g trying to make a precursor I feel sorry for your intelligence.
Just buy one.
Run dungeons or farm Karka. Both will wield you at minimum 1.5 gold per hour and at maximum about 3.5 gold per hour.
How about if you have such a huge problem with it, you just don’t get a legendary? Sounds to me like we have a bunch of sissy’s in here who just want the greatest achievement in the entire game to be given to them.
I didn’t use RNG on my precursor. I bought it for 400 gold. It is seriously not that hard to farm gold in this game. If you don’t wanna farm, you don’t wanna play the TP, you don’t wanna do anything for the weapon is what it sounds like to me.
If you are crying about any part of the Legendary process, then you do not deserve to wield a Legendary weapon. Period.
Precursors are not a problem. Legendary is supposed to take some time to get. Unless you a genius with the TP, like me it should take some time.
Not to mention on my off day I made over 30 gold just from running fractals, so 10 gold a day aint’ kitten.
600/10=60 days
60 days = 2 months not that big a deal to get a precursor. I mean kitten, what do you want ANET to just give it to you? What fun is that? The whole point is to reach the goal and have fun.
Same for me. Now it is showing as Legendary in my inventory, but still exotic when I ping it.
At least they fixed it in my inventory i guess.
This means you can now transmute your Legendary and it will still be Legendary instead of Exotic.
Now I’m just hoping when I log on my Legendary when back to Legendary since I transmuted before this patch.
Just throwing this data in for you guys. I saw this thread so decided to buy a BLSK. Out of 25 BLSK’s I recieved 48 Globs of Ectoplasm.
I salvaged 22 Rares and 3 Exotics.
I’d say that is pretty decent luck. This was all done in the past week or so.
I send a couple tickets in on this and they responded that it is a bug and will be fixed.
Greatsword/Longbow is a good combo. I play PvE and WvWvW and I trait up 20/30/0/10/10
I put 10 in tactics to get the 1200 longbow range in WvW.
In PvE I use 3 signets + for great justice shout
In WvW I use the same thing when defending a keep or tower and if I’m on the ground I use 2 Signets + Throw Bolas + Bulls Charge
Very simple and I use Karma gear from Arah Dungeon and Berzerkers Accessories.
For WvWvW I would go 30/30/0/10/0 and use a Longbow.
