Warrior with high suvivability?

Hi guys i need your help. Ive played all the other classes and now im trying warrior but im finding surviving hard. My ability is not great but i enjoy open world PvE.Could you guide me on a build that has increase survivability at the expence of the insane damage? Id rather survive longer since my skill is lacking

All three Shouts utility slots with Vigorous Shouts from Tactic.You can boost/fine tune Healing Power via gear to find desirable level of tankyness.

perfect this was a great help. thank you for helping ashimmu. I now have multiple panic buttons! :)

Str Def Tact for max survival.

Str for Forceful Greatsword and Might Makes Right (self might will heal you, FG gives Might on a crit)Def for might on block, Defy Pain, and your choice of grandmaster elite. Rousing Resilience will pair well with Shake it Off. Adrenal Health will give you lots of healing over time when you use a burst.Tactics for Soldier's Comfort, Shrug it Off, and either Vigorous Shouts or Phalanx Strength. Mender's Might will heal you for every time you give might to an ally, and Phalanx Strength will give might you give yourself to your allies.

so the shout that gives might. heres a trick with it.

theres a trait that heals you when you grant might. PER MIGHT. add that to this shout, plus the shout trait that heals on use. if your solo. its a nice 3k ish heal. if your in a group, 6-7k heal (cause your applying might to up to 5 people)

Even better! thanks for helping me guys :) Im having lots of fun with the warrior class now!

No problem. Just remember to play around with all the survivability options, and start to replace them with more offensive options until you find the sweet spot that works for you.

This is what i use.

I use this build and i can tank champions.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PKwAEl7lNwsYhMF2JOWP5vcA-zxQYhom6rdHSIpTpJFQfigAFCtKB04A-e

I've been having a lot of fun with this axe/axe + hammer core warrior. Hammer is quite amazing - it's CC allows for taking down champs pretty readily albeit somewhat slowly. Cull the Weak trait is also amazing for its huge incoming damage reduction.When I'm mostly using hammer (e.g., champs or group content) I'll use the grandmaster Mercilous Hammer, but if I'm mostly doing axe DPS then I'll use Might Make Right or Berserker's Power instead.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PKwAceJlJwwYbMFWJO0PrJTA-zRZYBBHGmR0BlRipQEVgJzyomRA-e

Why not something like this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PKwAceJlJwwYbMFWJOsLmpSA-zRRYBBLGdsTpPFQiSgwFCtMCMxsExZE-e ?

The life steal on interrupt with Hammer is pretty tanky, the adrenaline gain on crit will help get more bursts off, and Body Blow over Forceful Greatsword will cover all your weakness needs, particularly if you love hammer so much.

I love hammer, but I also love playing a Berserker and I hate hammer primal burst...

Cull the Weak

trait is also amazing for its huge incoming damage reduction.When I'm mostly using hammer (e.g., champs or group content) I'll use the grandmaster

Mercilous Hammer

, but if I'm mostly doing axe DPS then I'll use

Might Make Right

or

Berserker's Power

instead.

Since I have Cull the Weak, additional weakness from Body Blow wasn't really necessary, and Forceful Greatsword offered a nice might/power boost instead. I gotta say that Unsuspecting Foe looks mighty tasty, but not sure I'm willing to swap out a trait line for it.

I'm not a fan of zero toughness for this type of character (and my casual playstyle), so that's why I chose Crusader/Knight instead of Marauder.

I just got my Spellbreaker elite this weekend (I have Berserker on another warrior and it just didn't suit me), so I'm going to be playing around with that, but it's going to be hard choosing what trait line to give up!

Well, you'd get more weakness uptime out of Body Blow than Cull the Weak, and signet mastery would make up for swapping out Forceful Greatsword. Unsuspecting Foe capitalizes on Merciless Hammer and mitigates the need for extra precision. The choice between toughness and vitality if up to you, but Marauders offers more power than Knights which also makes up for not taking FG.

Arms is certainly a more offensive line, if you need the sustain from Defense then by all means take it.

Honestly the Defense line is all you need. The insane healing from Adrenal Health in addition with Healing signet is amazing. You'll get quite a bit of regen even in full zerk gear.

how is Sun and Moon off hand dagger Spell breaker tho? interms of sustain. with marauder set it can have almost 100% crit chance 7% of dps sounds like alot of sustain no? or its not good enough to make you tanky?

Pair it with an axe MH and axe mastery. You'll get some good heals that way.

so axe on main hand and dagger off hand? can get good heal? and is it worth runing marauder? it seems to have more crit chance opinions and help please? or the HP we get from marauder as warrior is too small?

Str: Bottom Mid MidDisc: Mid Mid TopSpB: Top Bottom Bottom.

Axe/dagger with your second set up to you based on the content.

About 10%. With any game mode take as much vitality, toughness, or sustain that you need but no more.

i see 10% doesnt sound too much considering the extra crit chance which make damage stable and also healing stable..but is the vitality on marauder set really means anything for warrior? since we got good life pool

Warrior has great base health and armor, we have what other professions consider tanky, except we have fewer of the ways they do to avoid damage (Things like stealth, shadow steps, and CC built into a DPS weapon) unless we sacrifice a trait line and 2 of 3 utility slots.

so your advice stick to full zeker + assasin?

@noiwk.2760 said:so your advice stick to full zeker + assasin?

Well, if you are fine with less health then full zerker gear with enough crit chance from somewhere to hit 100%.
