I have a fun and affectice 1h sworsd build ill post when i can. I absolutly love it. Its all i play in spvp atm

on on the remark to the guy above me on sword skills.

1. damage is fine second hit need to cast faster to be able to stack bleeds.
2. is fine. doesn’t need weakness
3. wtf with all the evade lol. its fine as is maybe less cast time but idk I hit 5k Crits(light armor classes, 2.5k-3k on heavy) and im not even a power build.
4. yes its fine as is
5. . maby add a sec or two of weakness on foes
   f1 DO NOT!! make this skill give torment also. the bleeds on it are fine. I do so much damage off the bleeds with this one. and another spin attack…no… it would be nice if the immobile was longer but that might make it op.

Compare warrior’s sword #5 with Mesmer’s sword #5…
- Warrior need be hited by melee skill to inflict 4 bleed, or cansel to gain 5 stack adrenaline.
- Mesmer summon a phantasm that deal huge dmg (aditionaly to mesmer’s dmg), and unlock the 4 shatter skills.

What are the better?
:)

Yes but mesmers cannot negate damage with there skill can they?? On top if that a stealthed thiefs hits me when using this skill get hit with attack and bleeds. Time correctly this can counter skull crack or any other hard hitters

1- yes I could go cleaning ire but I don’t have an issue with conditions thanks to berserker stance. when my target is just about dead I will hit them with Final thrust doing between 2.5-5k crit hit damage. 5% off hand damage is a mistake it need to be “III” great fortitude.
2- head, shoulders, chest, gloves, pants boots, and water filter (this one surprised me to) that’s a total of 7. I only took afflicted because the other condition runes didn’t hlp me much. as for Dwayna that to keep my healing above 400hp a sec plus regen has saved me countless times. you could use monk or water. if u wanted to push out more damage u could even go nightmare. but I like better survivability.
3- first set
Sword-Force Shield-Battle
second set
sword-force sword-battle
Paralyzation will make my stunn 1.15 secs meh.
and yes I do swap weapons often. sword/sword is best to counter thief’s after I counter and they un-stealth I switch to shield. kick-stack bleeds- bash- stack bleeds – bulls rush ( if I haven’t already used it) ext. now for classes with a lot of cleanse I switch to sword/sword torment the back to shield and start controlling and stacking bleeds. so I am constantly switching weapon sets. its all about being aware or what set to use and when.

almost 100 views and now comments??

I never even played one but I know it. .

haha you’re serious?? lol

Bud.5617:

How do you guys beat them (sPvP)?

They got stun, and then stun, and then stun again. Did I say stun?

Meanwhile catching even 1 of those 100 blades on the face pretty much seals the fight. Even a regular swing of the axe/gs hurts pretty badly.

Their health on the other hand is fairly high. High enough to take about 8 full dose of back stabs. Okay may be not 8, but definitely around 6.1 ish… if all of them hit from the back. Not to mention great mobility, block and innate regeneration.

Thoughts?

I use a stun build on my war, but not power build. most thief’s that kill me usually use pistol and just keep range. a lot of running around and stealth.

ok a lot of ppl saying g that you cant do a warrior condition build, and others saying that ya you can get a long bow. well I got a alternative. and yes as a condition build I kill pretty much every class. necros, guards, eng, eles, bunker builds take time but I still can do it.

this build is all about controlling you enemy while stacking on bleeds and torment.

Weapons are going to be- Sword/Shield, Sword/Sword

so we will start with traits, and before I begin this build is very flexible so some stuff can change depending on the situation.

20 Strength- III/VIII
25 Arms- III/IX
15 Defense- II
10 Tactics- I
0 Discipline-

so here’s what cannot change because this is the bread and butter of the build
20 in strength, 25 in arms, and 10 in tactics.

Healing:
Healing signet

Elite:
Signet of rage

Utilities:
Bulls Charge
Kick
Balanced stance/berserker stance (either of these can be change out for any other utility

Runes:
5x Dwayna Runes this puts my healing sig at 400 sec along with the regen on hit.
2x Afflicted for bleed damage

Sigel:
2x Force
2x Battle

Over all status:
Attack: 2760 :
Crit%: 16 : Crit Damage: 0 :
Armor: 2377 :
Health: 26692 :
Condition damage: 1201 : Condition Duration: 20% :
Healing Power: 315 :

now a side not the build takes a little skill so if you are new to warrior don’t rage quit, you will learn rotations soon enough.

any constructive criticism is welcome.

So ppl who want to learn war or lets say some one who is good but doesnt play war that much at all. Oh oh or ppl like me who are decent pvpers ( thats the main reason i play anyy mmo.) but dont have alot of time to play games can post anything. Im rank 17 in spvp witch some ppl laugh at but i still do better then more ( usualy in the top 4. )

I have a fun and affectice 1h sworsd build ill post when i can. I absolutly love it. Its all i play in spvp atm

on on the remark to the guy above me on sword skills.

I was explaining my sword/sheild build to a theif the other day cause he swore i was hacking. Heres exactly wat he said. " you kitten hacken nub. No warrior no matter how skilled they are can beat my build. You peice of ****."
All i said was " i kitten the fool who dont dial collect"

Fenrir.5493:

Warriors are the worst pvp class at the moment, if you are new to this game you will need to learn a lot of things before you really know why is this, for now you should trust people, warrior for pvp right now is not a good option, you can be carried by another profession, and learn game mechanics.

But if you like so much the warriors then play it, but expect the worse when you enter pvp, first the class, and second your inexperience at playing and building.

Also one thing is pvp and another is WvW, in pvp everyone gets fair equips and lvl, no one has better anything than anyone, its like when you play a private server of WoW for example.

WvW is another area where gear matters and you should get better gear and foods etc to gain advantages, so this is not a balanced fair game, in this area warriors are a bit better because of the acces to a lot more equips, so they can stack more stats and compensate with that.

Listen to this guy.

Ya i disagree. I play a warrior just for spvp and i do dam good. Im also not the best player my reaction time is slow and i make mistakes. But the majority of the time im on top of BOTH teams score wise. I also play a necro and mesmer spvp to. They are easy…boring…predictable…
My only issue on spvp is when i run into a zerg. 1v1 i either win or they run away( witch i count as a win) 1v2 some i win. Most i eventualy lose but i can usualy take one down with me or lower both their healt so my team can finish them off. Wat i usualy do when i run into multiple foes its drag the fight on till back up comes.

So id recomend playing war see if it fits your style. If you just wanna sit back and not do alot of multi tasking the a war is not for you. You will need to stay on you toes.

So i only have like one to two days a week to play ( life stuff )
and i play for about 2-4 hours on those days. Thank you for trying to kill gw2 for me.

I got tired if reading all the replies. This build is strong but as is its easy to counter.
I run a s/sh and s/s (warrior) build with a couple stinns and i usualy win vs this build. When they dont kill me with there first combo its usualy game over for them.

Id rather them not get passives. Make them more of a toggle on and have them spike like every 3 attack or so. Limit it to 2 venoms togled at a time. And when u un togle one( yake it off as a active bonus) let it have ur next x amount attacks cause something

Why dont we have any??
For any one who has made a norn. When you fighting the cages beast you will notice a norn warrior with an axe and sheild wearing nice simple clothing. And a hood.

Heavy armor needs a hood.

I wouldnt want it to be protection from everything just more situational. Right now its meh

Idk about stability it doesnt need that

I know this is ganna sound crazy but ima throw ot out there any ways.
Sheild block is nice but it has its downside.
I pop sheild and all my foes do is just sit there till right when it drops and burst me down. Now its verry situational and most times it ends up killing thebperson who used it in the first place.

So my i was thinkong a nice simple little fix.
Make sheild block a stunn breaker giving it more utility.
This would make it much more useful.
What your thoughts on it.

I run a s/sh and longbow.
One of ma fav things to do is longbow f1 switch to sheild and sheild bash.
Put a fire sheild around u. Fun to see some ppls reation is to back off not knowing wat to do lol.

If your representing you are gaining points for that guild. So hiding that your reping it to me seem well stupid.
Now on the guild chat i do agree guild needs a toggle so if i toggle guild chat on for a diffrent guild then the one im reping i should be able to talk to them in another chat box.

But alltogether guilds in gw2 are a broken mechanic. I can join a tine of diffrent guilds.
I can see makeing it so a player can join 2 and deciding whitch to rep bit any more no i dont like the idea and never will. Its ganna be so hard if they every decide to to avualy have guilds compete against each other.

Test servers r nice but they also have there downsides.

Example: condi warriors after this new patch are acualy playable whitch means that the price of condi gear will rise.
Now if a test server was here alot of ppl woulda have went bac on the normal server baught up all the condi gear and charge a fortune to the unsespecting playerbase. Drasticly raising the price and naking those players much more wealthyer. Now alot of people say there us nothing wrong with that but not all players like to play test servers. They tend to have.more.bugs. So this now give those other players a huge advantage. On also on that remark some one with enough gold ( trust me ppl have enough) can practly buy up all of one item they know is ganna be saught after and because they have alot more gold then others can do so sit on the items till they drasticly rise then sell then off at a alarming rate crushing the market in that item.

Now you ganna say thatll never happen. Wrong play eve online and see for yourself. I personaly made alot of money in that game by doing this verry thing. ( me and a couple freinds)

Test servers are nice but they affect alot of thing good and bad.
Edit: and do bare with me on any typos my phone has an issue with these froums.

Yes…no…
Well yes and no. Power builds can pull out decent damage.
Condi build take time to build up candi on you target but once you get going the r just as leathal.

The my opinion

Yes after this new patch we are decent now.

The only thing that the hylek dont have is a a well organized capital. With a quik little story can easy fix that. Much like how the 3 char legions have banded together. ( even if they dont get along)
the hylek can for a simular union amongst themselfs.
And before any ine says all red and orange hylek are bad and evil that will attack any one on sight… Thats wrong they are less freindly meaning it takes alot more to gain there trust. I cant remember were but there is a red tribe that after hlping them out become verry freindly.
Storylines easy most ( not all) the hylek tribes have bannded together in a uneasy alliance in order to keep there species alive and thriving. Reds grenns blues yellows and oranges amass in their newly forge kindom in the swamp and prepair then selves…
That it for now sooo hard to type on ma phone.
but ya any one who says hylek cannot be playable psh you sir r a closed minded fool.

If bleeds that the warrior aplied were harder to get rid of would be nice cause atm my bleeds on my war r acualy stronger then my necro bleeds on septer.

One thing i still wanna see is sword auto attack the second hit should be instacast. Then we can properly stack bleeds.

You know wat makes me like warriors even better.
The warriors that are actualy good in pvp are skilled players. Most other classes you can just start playing and figure them out easyly. With wars its diffrent. Our class all around has more weaknesses then strengths. So you you have to know exactly wat you r doing or your ganna fail.
Ive noticed this in just about everything to do with wars in pvp. You click on wrong button or click it a secnd late. Your dead. This is nice. I dont have to deal with ppl who cant pvp. Thats why i go after other warriors i wanna see if they know wat theyr doing.

GreenNekoHaunt.8527:

Hylek, Grawls and Skritt as playable characters is too confusing as you have to fight your own race.

I would just quickly like to point out that this is true for every single player race already.

Humans – bandits
Charr – flame legion
Asura – inquest
Sylvari – nightmare court and
Norn – sons of Svanir

Is anybody overly confused by any of this?

Hylek are already fighting them selfs.
The blues greens and cooler colers(not as deadly poisin)
Fight reds oranges browns( warmer colors)
The coolers colors are currently allied with the asurans selling them poisins and remidies and cures. The asurans even prais and aknowledge how ipressive they are of the hylek alchemist.
Not to mentionvthat if the hylekblive in more of a city enviroment they would reproduce verry fast.

Hylek would be verry easy to impliment into gw2.
As for armors id be easy to do since there is already heavy armor that you can see some hylek wearing.

Vigor?? We have alot of options to get vigor.

Sword auto attack second hit should be 1/4 cast time not 1/2. And final thrust is a joke damage is only good if they r below half hp.
and the axe auto second hit is two instant hits.
With the sword auto attack secong hit at 1/4 cast time ud be able to acualy stack bleed. I know crazy right.

Idk axe auto by far out damages sword auto sword #3 cooldown is to long to rely on and the auto#3 attack hardly hits from my experiance.

Sword auto #2 should be shorter.

I currently use it in spvp the one thing that i think need to change is that sword auto attack is way to slow.
It needs to be increased. As it is right now its attack is to slow to actualy stack bleeds and the damage is to weak compared to axe…
So thats about it. Its got great control. But that is sadly it.

So anet if your reading this plz boost attack speed. And make us sword and sheild warriors well decent

Bulls charge into a zerg then stomp sooo fun.

I like to use kick with my rifle.

I got sick of beimg killd by mesmers and theifs so i rolled both classes.
Theifs are a bish to play bit once you get it down u can oracticly kill any one.
Mesmers the second i started playing one i realized why they r sooo strong
Now on that remark i dont use stealth at all with my mesmer i dint need it. I can practicly never get lockd down. And i deal pretty good damage from range. Sure my health is low but good luck hitting me.
Now on that remark. After playing mesmer my warrior(sword/sheild condi build) has yet to lose to a mesmer in a long time. Thiefs still kill me but i can usualy make the fites drag out forever until an ally or even foe arives to change the fite.
Now on that remarks countering stealth is well non existent. That the only problem. A good example is sheild block when a rouge hits u while blocking with a sheild nothing happens they dont unstealth or anything. Iv had theifs laugh when i pop it and tell me all there doing is spaming skills till it pops.
Now i wouldnt say theifs or mesmers r op but stealth has issues. Theifs do take some skill to play and r easy ro burst dont when caught.

Edit: sry bout all the typos. When using the forum in my phone it wont let me see anything i type lol so its a bish.

If you have the skill try running a stance vigor build.
Its bizarly fun and effective. But yes verry situational. Reduce cd would be nice

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/weapons-what-is-gw2-missing/first

This is a tread i made a long time ago asking players what weapons they want to see in game

Great axe was number 1 fallowed by spears crossbows gauntlets and whips.

The holy trinity is a relic if the past. All it does is restric class builds and makes games simple. Make players predictable. All aroind borning
O look a rouge glass cannon
Here come a cleric healer.
Ect… There is no thinking there.

In gw2 ypu can have one class play mutiple rules. Support .tank .dps.

Mostpeople that still insist that the holy trininty is still ‘gawd’ are avid WoW players who prefear simple and basic games. And they will nvr change there minds abput how WoW is still gawd of all mmos

Bean Muncher.5197:

Blood Red Arachnid.2493:

The thing I’m wondering about is why it is everyone is focused on the axes auto-attack when that is the least used weapon skill whenever I run a power necro.

Using Axe/Focus and Dagger/Warhorn, whenever I’m at range the only time I ever use Axe #1 is when everything else is on cooldown. That isn’t very often, since Ghastly Claws is on a 6.4 second cooldown with Axe Mastery. What I’ll do is use Focus #4, then focus #5, then ghastly claws, then I pop over to Dagger/Warhorn and use Dagger #3 then Dagger #2, then I’ll pop into vr for awhile, then swap back to use Ghastly Claws and focus skills again.

Only when I have to keep at range does the axe ever have to use the auto attack, and that is mostly in PVE. The vulnerability stacking and damage are alright, but in the end my main source of damage comes from DS and firing off Ghastly Claws every 6 seconds. My rotation commonly involves Ghastly Claws – DS – Ghastly Claws – Other things – repeat.

That’s the spirit! If your whole weapon’s great except for the autoattack, don’t autoattack. The necro has very good options for the downtime on the axe (swap to dagger or death shroud). Or, from a pve perspective, just take well of suffering and /laugh while everything melts before your eyes.
Power necros are great now. Don’t overbuff things that are in a good spot.

Hmm interesting. Then by your.knowledge remove axe auto attack since its useless.

I use to think range was a problem but 600 makes sinces.
Give axe #1 cripple or chill also and that eill fix you problem. As some one said axe is a chasing weapon right now dagger does a better chance of catching some one. with chill orcriple ur target will move slow increasing your damage before they r upon you ( with will happen)
Thats an easy and simple fix

Shhhh dont tell ppl.

Euthymia.4807:

Commanders and leaders of the sort should have specific channels for that sort of thing.

Kind of like how in EVE Fleet leaders have a channel where they can chat with everyone in that fleet regardless of what wing or squad people are in.

Are you talken about team speak or the acual eve voice.
But yes there should me a cammader chat so they can do this

I never liked the idea or race or sex change.

Omfg norn males can have all the human bishes and not worry about kids!!!

You just mad my norn verry happy
…wait can norns get human stds??

Not sure why but i like the current way. Just makes sense to me.

Ngeluz.4860:

alamore.1974:

Dont warriors already have stances.
Im not sure if i already said this lol

Well its a concept idea, you could call it Focus if you wish since the Profession is all about mastery and control of the battle field.

Technique i like the concept but id change stuf. Maby ill sit down one of these days and strat scibbling.

idontnoso.9850:

Ok, seriously, thieves really need a buff and all but they DO NOT need a nerf when it comes to stealth. Here’s a little tip….THIEVES ARE NOT MAGICALLY INVULNERABLE WHILE IN STEALTH!

When a thief enters stealth conditions still effect them and they can still be hit from attacks. Oh and there is actually a way to take thieves out from a stealth under certain circumstances. Yet, there’s no point in explaining to people who don’t understand the thief.

I can fight thieves 1v1 and have no issues, because i know the class and I can anticipate certain things. Also, because I understand the thief I have had time where I down them from full health while they are completely in stealth.

If you want to nerf stealth, why don’t we also nerf things that completely make up a class, like a guardian’s barriers or a mesmer’s clones and phantoms, or maybe the necro’s minion and conditions?

What i’m trying to say is that stealth is what makes the thief a thief, nerf that and we are sitting ducks.

Ah man i <3 you you think necros r op. Just made my night.
I wish i felt like that

This one mad me laugh hard when i saw the guy with it
Freekill wlcn

My necros name is one i have every game

Watermarks

For spvp try a crit daggaer, focus(for freeze)build.
I use zerker crits r 50%ish and ma crit damage is high to ( on my phone so i cant check exacts)
Comsume condi.
Spectral grasp.( for freeze and as there doewn i get behind them.
Blood pact.( this can be changes out for anything else i jist like mite)
And that one that changes enimies bons into conditions with can change the game againt any builds that rely on boons( gaurdian and eng)
This build is insanly fun you r always moving.

Oh and instead of blood pact you can go with the well that blinds this can ruin a theifs backstab.

Dont warriors already have stances.
Im not sure if i already said this lol
