Gale. It's a great snare, great shutdown when chained, decent for interrupting long casts. And you can abuse exhaustion being broken to spam it.

Why would you wan't a W/Mo? You do not tank in PvP. Warriors are damage dealers, infact at the moment the highest sustainable DPS characters in the game.

A W/Mo has very little going for him in GvG. W/E is definately the better choice.

W/Mos are only really useful in PvE, for PvP, W/E (gale or kd/as), W/N(the touch that transfers conditions, cant remember what its called), W/Mes (blackout) and W/R (TF or iway(mush as i dislike it)) are best, all depends on the build being used really

I just want to state that W/Me with Blackout is a terrible build.

I agree, for the reasons in this thread...

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=127297

I agree that the most common GvG warriors you see are now Gale W/E's and Plague Touch W/N's, but are there any good warrior builds for W/Mo for GvG?

Possibilities:

---A hammer warrior with Holy Strike has been suggested;
---The CA Strength of Honor and Condition/Hex Removal warrior;
---A support Succor warrior? Not sure if this feasible when teams split...

Any other thoughts to use the Monk secondary (i.e. I know that EvIL had a W/Mo, but I believe he used no monk skills)?

Having a W|Mo with maintained enchantments gimps his own damage output because he can't use energy skills, so he gets no attack speed boost stance. You would have to rely only on dps to kill, and its not really dps that makes a warrior kill - its a fast adrenal spike to a knocked down target most of the time.

Wheel is right, do not use a W/mes with blackout. This blacks out your skills too and you loose too much adreniline because of it.

well succor is the only skill i could see a reason for using a w/mo, but gale is just to good a skill to give up. Same with plague touch.

Well the update pretty much nerfed gale on warriors with the increase in energy cost to 10 and fix to the exhaustion bug. I have seen a lot of bulls strike warriors lately now though.

I feel it should be said that Bull's Strike, unlike Gale, is a perfect setup for Holy Strike. You're already in melee range and BS has accomplished its goal. Only way it could get better is a pre-charged adrenal spike. And even there, with Holy Strike you don't need quite as much in the way of adrenal bashing.

Might be seeing more Whammos worth a damn given the update.

Just because you're in melee range, it doesn't mean that Bull's Charge is a good complement to Holy Strike. The energy cost really takes its toll on your average Warrior. Adrenaline spikes are usually the best way to go.
