Anything else, would be uncivilized. THat's the problem. Your too worried about what's expected. Boring builds for boring players.

Please please please explain to me how haveing a free attack, a powerful spammable attack, or and unblockable attack are bad things??

I'm not sure how much actual playing you've done, but being blocked is the worse thing that can happen to a warrior, even more so one that uses as many adr. skills as warriors have. I love how you pretend that no one ever brings self def. skills in PvP and you expect to never be blocked.

They're bad skills because warrior bars are already packed with much stronger skills.
They're bad skills because warriors need their limited energy for better things - Shock, Bull's, Frenzy etc.

Look at the standard Shockaxe - Evis / Exe (BB) / DChop / Bull's / Shock / Frenzy / Rush / Ressig - and tell me what you'd drop for one of them trashy energy attacks. Please, I need some lulz.

I'd like to know what you would do against a heavy block team? Or if you get caught 1v1 with any build that denies adr./ blocks/ doesn't suck?

Not attacking guys camping a Ward helps too. Having the mes shatter/mirror Aegis and Guardian on a spike iz gud too.

Playing well, in a team > taking shit skills

Cookie cutter shockaxes and godmode DSlashers are so widely used for a reason.
They've been developed, tested, tweaked and practised over time, and have been found to be the best.

That's the biggest flaw of those follow the leader builds you love so much, everyone already knows what your about to try. THere is no surprise. Your easily picked off and laughed at.

A shockaxe doesn't go 1v1. It's a team player. Depending on others to do your work < being prepared. Didn't boyscouts teach you anything?

If you haven't been forcefed a build, you're to blind to see anything else. In a few months you'll change you list of "the only builds that don't suck" to fit along with the new flavor of the months. You only think that each class can only run 1 or 2 builds effectively. I really don't think Guild Wars is the right game for you. You'd be better off playing WoW or FFXI Online, where each class always preforms the same tasks every time all the time. No such thing as "builds". i.e. Boring.

Diversity = Win.

Please, come back in a few months when you're no longer bad at the game, kthx.

2.) You have no idea how I am at the game. Although, I'd love to meet you in PvP sometime...

3.) Come back in a few years once you've hit puberty.

Those are your opinions and are in no way facts. In fact, your opinions seem less valid then others, contrary to how you feel, because they aren't even yours. They're recycled.

Frenzy is ok, not as good as you pretend it is. There are builds that work well with it, but it's not the saving grace of warrior that you like to believe it is.

How about this. You bring your famed build that you stand behind so much, and lets 1v1. I'm not sure what build I will bring, I like to mix it up. It's not the build, it's the player. But you shouldn't be worred. According to you, all the skills except the ones you are going to bring, suck, so...yea. Lets do this. I'll come as any class you want (that I have- Necro, Ranger, Warrior, Monk, Derv, and I have an Ele I've almost got to 20. I'm not even experienced with it and I can take you on).

If I get this right... you're challenging me to a 1v1?

... do you have any idea how retarded that is?

Diversity = Win. Most of the frequent posters here create their own builds. PvXwiki is that---> way.

There are several different builds a warrior can play. All of them involve beating stuff into a bloody pulp. If your build cannot beat stuff into a bloody pulp, it's probably bad. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. Disregarding "cookie cutters" is ignoring the collected knowlege of thousands of players over 2 years just so you can stroke your ego.

This anti-common knowledge stuff doesn't seem to apply elsewhere. In soccer, there aren't any teams who play 11 left strikers with no other positions. It would certainly be unique and more diverse than the current system, but it would also be really, really dumb.

You're wrong, you don't want to accept you're wrong, so you're gonna try to beat a team build 1v1 to save your precious ego.

Wow. That's epic.

So, under this logic....how are new builds ever created? Please indulge.

Also, cookie cutter builds are easiest to counter. Everyone already knows what your going to run, just like 95% of every other meat head warrior.

Wow. That's epic. How is it my ego we are talking about, again? You and your blind statements. Your the one claiming that any build you use is God's gift to GW and I'm saying that almost any build can take on any other build according to who is playing which one. The entire conversation is about how your ego is getting in the way of progression. The only thing that I have claimed here regarding me, as a player, is that I honestly think I could 1v1 you. Aside from that it's you claiming your opinions count for something and you relying on your team to do the work for you.

Frenzy works great sometimes in some builds, and horrible in others. I, personally, hate taking double dmg. It doesn't matter if I have infinite adr. if I'm dead. Now, combined with an adequate def. skill, it can be useful.

And all a 1v1 would prove is that you're silly enough to actually think it means something.

Or you could take Flail if we're talking about PvE.
