I use a build consisting of

atts.

healing prayers: 9 + 0 = 9
Tactics: 5 + 1 = 6
Swordsmanship: 12 + 2 = 14
Strength: 10 + 1 +1 = 12

Armour:
15k luxon healm (dreadnaught)
15k luxon body (Berserker)
15k luxon gauntlets (berserker)
15k luxon boots (berserker)
15k luxon legs (berserker)

Weapon:

Furious dadao sword of fortitude (perfect) also sskai's sword would work...

Shield:

Exalted Aegis req 9 strength recieved dmg - 5 Health +30

Skills:
1.Sever Artery
2. Gash
3. Silverwing slash/Galrath slash
4. Dragon slash
5. Final Thrust
6. Defensive stance/Healing signet
7. Healing Breeze
8. Ressurect

This build can cause major damage by using the first 4 skills in a row then using 3 if opponents health is not below 50% when it is use final thrust.. and finish with normal attacks also keep healing breeze on you at all times and when on low health use 6 and rez allies with 8

This build has won me a couple of 1 v 1 battles as well as allowing me to complete GW:Factions =D

You want damage?

12 Tactics + Superior
12 Sword + Superior

Standing Slash
Galrath
Silverwing Slash
Sun and Moon Slash
Dragon Slash
Glads Defense
Riposte
Deadly Riposte

I use a similar build to farm spiders in FOW and I can drop one in less than 30 seconds. I can even power through Healing Spring with it.

If you want 'super' damage, then pump your weapon mastery to 16. That's the first step to 'super' damage.

I use same build but with mending and still i die all the time, can it be because my armor is droknars? I'll buy luxon 15k, what color is best for higher defense?

Mending is bad in PvE especially in higher-end areas due to more mesmers/necromancers that can strip/shatter enchantments so it does more harm than good.

Droknar's Forge armor has the same defense as any other higher-end armor, i.e. 15k and Fissure of Woe. And color has nothing to do with defense.

Only use Strength if you actually have Str skills. Place spare atribute points in it otherwise.

I'd ditch the Str, and get 16 swordsmanship. Use a +1 Sword helm with a sup sword rune. Use Tactics for healing, not healing prayers. If you're going to use Dragonslash, you might as well grab "For Great Justice" and Sun and Moon Slash as well.

Make sure you have one peice of knight's gear. Damage reduction is nifty.

When doing solo PvE, I think Cyclone Axe, Glads Defense, Bonettis, Watch Yourself, Healing Breeze, Balthazars Spirit. Live Vicariously, and Vig Spirit is a fine combo.

In group PvE, I don't think Glads Defense is worthwhile.

Really. I can't stand when Warriors use Mending in high-end PvE... I tend to scoff when I see it. A lot of warriors complain when they have their Mending stripped. Warriors have 2 pips of energy regen. Use Mending and you have one. Personally, I like to use my energy as a Warrior. That's why ppl mention Glad's when it comes to armor. As a warrior, you have the Tactics attribute. Use it!

And when did color decide your AL..?

@War Vet
You pump your Healing to 9 to use 1 Healing Spell, Healing Breeze.. Why don't you completely get rid of the points in Healing and pump your Sword or even Tactics. Use Healing Sig instead of breeze. Strength isn't always necessary, but a majority of warriors believe so. You have it at 12. This means you get 12% armor pen. I don't use Wammos; I prefer a pure warrior with maybe 1 or 2 skills from my 2ndary. For me, this is usually Plague Touch. 16 Axe, 11 Tactics, 9 Strength(but I use Strength skills)

But, like red cars, black armour makes you dodge faster!

The Str attribute is a little silly because the AP only triggers for attack skills, not on regular attacks. And since most of the damage from attack skills ignores armour anyway, all that Strength does is gives a little boost to your regular damage when using skills - which can be nice for builds that rely on skills giving multiple attacks (Hundred Blades, Sun and Moon, Cyclone Axe, Triple Chop, Crude Swing) or that expect to be using a particular skill nearly constantly (Whirling Axe, Enraged Smash). Otherwise, if you're not using Strength skills... well, it's better than not spending points at all, but you're probably better off on the whole putting them in the attributes your skills are based off and using Strength to dump the excess.

Ok there seems to be some confusion about what damage is, you want a damage pve build? Here you go:

Tiger Stance
Galrath/Silverwing Slash
Sun and Moon Slash
Dragon Slash {E}
For Great Justice!

Anything else is your choice, for x seconds (governed by your strength level) you will have unlimited adrenaline to use Dragon Slash and S&M repeatedly with absolutely no stop (unless you miss or something). Hit FGJ! when Dragon and S&M are charged, attack with Dragon Slash FIRST (important) and then follow up with S&M. Dragon Slash is now recharged. Rinse wash, repeat, this build has a hard time finding anything that lives long enough to stand up to it.

Also, if you are a monk secondary, make use of it and bring a good ressurection skill. A good tank may outlast the rest of the party or be able to break off and get away from a bad tactical situation. I strongly recommend rebirth as you can res people from just outside aggro range and save the entire party. (Do NOT try to use it in combat, it takes 8 seconds and drains your energy)

Mending is great at level 8 healing (thats 3 regen) anywhere that there are no enchantment strippers. You might try totally dropping healing and use watchful spirit as you get 2 regen at zero attribute. These are best paired with a -2 damage while enchanted shield (knights boots + sup rune + shield = 7 points damage reduction). And DO pay attention to your enchantment being stripped. If it is stripped often, stop using it in that area and next time bring a different build (and shield). Also if you do bring your own enchantment, take a couple of cheap adrenal skills to spam as you will not have energy to spare for many attacks.

I also agree that Glads is almost a requirement for Solo, and almost useless in a PUG (especially with assassins in the group). If you are the only warrior and your party will stay outside aggro until you are being attacked, then Glads Defense is good. Anything that attacks hand to hand, like grasps, stone summit knights, trolls, ettins will kill itself on glads if there are no other targets for them to attack. Since you cant keep Glads up all the time, Bonettis makes a good complimentary stance (it is adrenal charged).

Sorrow's Furnace higher level? That made me laugh right there. I'm pretty sure you meant the first area where people can go use their cookie-cutter builds. There is no justification for using mending unless you're going troll farming. Even then if you need any healing above Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit needs to learn how to play Guild Wars. Six health per second doesn't justify burning one of your pips of energy. Healing Signet>Healing Prayers without divine favor. Stance Tank>Mending using wammo.

Hmmm these builds all have a lil promise atleast...

Just have one comment if ya have mo as ya secoundary and have acess ta factions Res chant is the best choice fora wammo res

lets look at it you res fallen ally to your current health meaning ost other classes than war ta full health and with a percentage of energy, good for geting ya party up and running at full health quicker after a fight.. (bein as I never res duringa fight I leave that ta monks with Reb) Though I have never seen the point of a high damage war (ish a tank geek) i liked reading this thread and decided ta chime in.

Super Damage W/Mo build is an oxymoron. Want damage, go TF and 7 axe adrenal attacks.

here you go, this is just offensive side

11 Smite
16 Sword

Frenzy
Final Thrust
Strength Of Honor

I use sword mostly, but if your talking about damage wammo, make sure you have those 3 skills in there somewhere when you use sword, i didn post a whole build, but i posted the attributes and 3 skills to get started, the rest can variate depending on enemies being fought, if your doing it alone or whatever

That quote makes me cringe every time I hear it. I'm confused what makes people think that, maybe they like getting on the anti-mending band wagon and don't understand why it's so sucky.

Blind makes warrior useless, oh noes, don't ever run a warrior in your build, Interupts > casters, Shutdown > Monks. Let's just not play at all huh?

Mending sucks because it's healing per energy is 1/4 of most other skills, it's ability to spike heal is non-existant and for Warrior's 1 pip of energy isn't enough to run IAS with.
