Are you talking about the youtuber Nike! or some old warrior build?

No idea, but I've heard the term "Nike warrior" before. Whats that? Some build that runs really fast?

I do not recall the specifics of the build. Have you checked the Metabattle archive? I can only assume it was Greatsword plus sword/X to take advantage of the combined mobility of those two weapons, which people still use in WvW.

"Nike warrior" is a meta PvE build for raiding designed by Nike (the youtuber Lan Deathrider mentionned). You can check his channel for more info, but it is slightly different than the Snow Crows' one they recommend (but as effective as it can be).

Nike warrior is a greatsword/sword WvW mobility build that can outrun anything while being completely immune to slow/immo CC skills.

The times of outrunning everything with sword gs are long gone.

Im playing lots of sword/shield gs warri with bullscharge and i frequently get chased or outrunned by multiple classes.For example thiefs, mirages, assasin revs, ranger.

It's litteraly berserker gear + dps traitlines. It's like the default build for everybody in open worl, I don't get why someone should appropriate it.

Well Nike! has several builds that are just tweaks to other builds. Some are better for some people rather than the strict meta builds. For instance one such build he posted dropped PP for SoM for a more simple rotation, which may be better from some people than trying to upkeep PP.

@"Joshewwah.2956" Here is the build on Metabattle that you might have heard referenced (it has another name there): https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Gotta_Go_Fast

You can swap out Arms from something else obviously. Also, with a mount this build is only useful while the mount is denied.

Also known in wvw as warriors that fail to kill targets and have a build to escape to from low mobility classes/builds to a out of combat state and then they proudly do /laugh.

...nike warrior is the warrior build with high marathon mobility for wvw...aka gs/sword/warhorn...anything else, only old players know.

An old "Kill Me Or I Tag Your Keep" warrior comes to mind.
