Hey guys i have been playing GW for just under two years now primarily as a warrior/monk I consider myself a fairly good player and specialize in ruinating dervishes, assasins and warriors. My skill line up is Berserker Stance, Gash, Sun and Moon slash, Hundred Blades, power attack, purge conditions, Healing sig, and Endure Pain. My skill levels are 13 sword, 11 stength, 9 tactics, 2 healing or something along those lines i have 589 health and 20 energy with max elite armor and max fortitude shield and sword.

That being said i have been having loads of trouble with elementalists what can i do to better my character in general all comments are welcome

thanks
Caleb

Actually, he has the right to troll this post imo. If you've been playing GW for 2 years and still have a bad wammo bar using power attack and endure pain, um yeah....and you wonder why some PvP players look down on PvE players.

So I'm not even a primary warrior or anything, but for PvP, that bar has pretty much no synergy whatsoever. Most glaringly, you have Gash on your bar but no way of causing bleeding, which is the prerequisite for the deep wound that Gash provides. So Gash on your bar is basically dead weight. In addition, you have Berserker Stance, which will build you a fair amount of adrenaline. But the only adrenaline skills you have are Gash (which is already useless) and Sun and Moon Slash. Being unable to use any skills because of Berserker Stance just to charge Sun and Moon Slash is ridiculous.

You also have way too many spammable energy skills i.e. Hundred Blades and Power Attack. As a warrior, you only have 2 energy regen and 20 base energy. If you are constantly spamming 5 energy attacks, you will be out of energy very soon. Also, both Hundred Blades and Power Attack are pretty bad. Hundred Blades wastes an elite spot to do pretty much what Sun and Moon Slash does, and Power Attack is horrible without a high spec in Strength.

In terms of healing and condition removal, in PvP, heal sig should be all you need. You should have a dedicated healer on your team that will keep you alive and clean. Even if you were in RA or AB or somewhere without a monk or a rit, purge conditions would be useless as conditions are so spammable (think blinding surge/flash) that as soon as you get them off with purge, you'll get them put right back on and all you would have done is waste 5 energy.

Lastly, if you're in PvP (other than AB), you need a res sig. Period. Endure pain, no. Res sig yes. And use it as soon as someone dies.

So basically as a warrior, here are the things you need:

1) IAS (increased attack speed). The choices for this are either Frenzy (for sword and axe warriors) or Flail (for hammer warriors).

2) Speed Boost/Cancel Stance. The choices for this are Rush or Sprint (for splitting), and/or Enraging Charge (usually for hammer warriors).

3) Knockdown. The choices for this are Bull's Strike (for Sword and Axe Warriors) and Bull's Strike/Devastating Hammer/Earthshaker/Backbreaker for Hammer Warriors.

4) Deep Wound. The choices for this are Sever Artery/Crippling Slash + Gash for Sword Warriors, Eviscerate or Dismember for Axe Warriors, and Crushing Blow for Hammer Warriors.

5) Spike Skill. The choices for this are Sun and Moon Slash + Conjure for Sword Warriors, Executioner's Strike for Axe Warriors, and Mighty Blow/Fierce Blow/Protector's Strike for Hammer Warriors.

6) Utility Skill. Choices are Shock, Rending Touch, Disrupting Blow, Healing Sig, Grasping Earth, Conjure Flame/Lightning/Frost etc.

7) Utility Skill. (See Above)

8) Res Sig

Look on PvX Wiki for a few of the basic Warrior Builds.
