Overview

Warrior can provide permanent Quickness and strong healing output with an extremely flexible build based around Doubled Standards and Vigorous Shouts. The on-demand revives of Battle Standard make this an ideal build for commanders training new players in strikes and raids. Variants can provide 25 Might, additional healing, or additional CC as needed.

Utility

Skill Variants

Weapons

• Axe can proc Lush Forest and provide a couple combo finishers for condition removal in Light fields. If you don't have a preference, bring Axe.
• Mace and/or Shield can provide blocks to hand kite Deimos in Bastion of the Penitent.
• Maces can be brought in either or both slots if you want to focus on CC output. Mace's burst skill Skull Crack does extremely high breakbar damage when paired with Sigil of Superior Sigil of Paralyzation and Sundering Mace.

Utility skills

• "For Great Justice!" if bringing Bladesworn to drop one banner.
• Signet of Rage if you don't need revives.

Specializations

Variants

• Roaring Reveille and Empower Allies if bringing Bladesworn (see variant below)
• Shield Master if bringing a shield. This can be helpful if you're hand kiting Deimos in Bastion of the Penitent.
• Sundering Mace if bringing mace/s and focusing on CC output.

Specialization Variants

Bladesworn over Defense to make use of Lush Forest's cooldown reduction, allowing you to bring only one banner (Banner of Tactics) and add "For Great Justice!" to provide 25 stacks of Might and additional burst healing. You will give up substantial barrier and Regeneration by dropping Banner of Defense, however.

Berserker over Defense if you're having difficulty getting enough adrenaline to proc Marching Orders every ten seconds. Berserker also makes you much harder to kill by preventing lethal blows while in Berserk mode.

Spellbreaker over Defense for encounters where boonstripping is helpful. This mainly applies to Dhuum, where Spellbreaker can bring Winds of Disenchantment to prevent Dhuum from benefiting from his timed boonstealing mechanic. Vale Guardian, Xera, The Broken King, Slothasor, and Matthias can see limited benefit.

Equipment Variants

Zealot if you are bringing more than one banner and not worried about Might, you can reduce Concentration to provide slightly more DPS.

Sigils

• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Renewal for a small burst heal on demand.
• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Paralyzation if bringing Mace to focus on CC output.

Consumables

Food

• if you are running Bladesworn and your gear is not getting you to 100% Boon Duration. Only necessary if you are taking only one banner.

Utility

• if you are running Bladesworn and your gear is not getting you to 100% Boon Duration. Only necessary if you are taking only one banner.

Usage

• Using your banners off cooldown will provide perma quickness for your subgroup.
• Shouts and Warhorn skills will provide healing, condition cleanse, and barrier.
• Battle Standard can be dropped on downed teammates to revive, providing a budget version of Heal Scourge's Transfusion.
• If you are taking Bladesworn, you want to use the first round of every ammo skill as often as possible, including Triggerguard, Flicker Step, and your Gunsaber ammo skills to reduce the cooldown of your one banner.
