Best to have melee with a range weapon for swap. Rifle warrior is good for 1 on 1, can do high burst damage, longbow is crowd control and do burning damage.

Greatsword probably has higher damage, but their skill is pure damage dealing,no condition and no defence, got 1 skill to run away though haha

Sword/Sword is flashy, do good damage, does bleeding, have 1 counter skill

Sword/Axe is pretty much the same as sword/sword, only difference is no more counter, but you get an AOE skill, extremely nice to tag crowded mob for loots

Hammer and mace I didn't use much, but hammer got interrupt, should do good damage also, mace totally no idea haha

IMO best to do pure damage with bleeding rather than a condition build because bleeding have a limit of 25 stack. Signet is good if you take deep strike trait, which is what I run my warrior on, but it's purely PVE solo stuff though.

My warrior will be pure PvE. And Pure DPS, I'm not going to tank, I have a guardian that can trait to tank better imo so warrior = kill fast or die trying.

I like sword axe maybe because of AOE, but warrior doesnt have a pulling crowd control skill makes that harder. Sword main hand mainly i fancy the cripple and leap. closing distance as a melee is important imo. But then again, I might go for a range then swap when something come close, so maybe GS is better?

To close distance, savage leap, that will bring you quite close to the mob, once in the fight begin. For greatsword the skill you use for closing is either charge or whirlwind, though I don't like whirlwind much since you can overshoot easily.

This is what I do, especially at Orr where there are so many people killing mob that they might all die before you get close. So I savage leap right into the mob and use whirling axe, if mob haven't die, do a flurry. You get XP and loots

Usually I just use range for champions, since sometimes it's quite hard to fight champion close up, so I go range and use rifle, brutal shot and volley right after give nice burst damage and once your kill shot is ready, brutal shot then kill shot, for awesome damage.

Range for savage leap is 600, so from what I can see is half of guardian. But then you don't really want to get too far ahead, because you would want the timing to be just right where you can do high damage and the rest of the players reach in time to finish the job.

But sometimes for melee you do find that mobs die before you can get close though, that's where a bow will comes in really handy.

I should just concentrate on level up first then go for crafting?

Right now building up survival trait so i can solo level up.

Weapon and armor normally just dropped from mob.

Also, may I know where can easily get Jute Scrap ? Wanna smith bronze first XD

Bandits from queensdale drop bags that can contain jute scrap.

Gosh, need to back there and collect

Which weapon is recommended for warriors?

Using Sword + sword & Long bow right now.

i use

long bow (general pve and WvW) / rifle (dragon)
and
sword (escape) / axe + war horn (escape, speed up, etc)

aye i gotta find me a sword to use in WvW and turn off auto targeting.

i wonder how good the sword 2nd skill would be in escaping in WvW?

Yea, i also using Sword skill 2 for escaping or travelling, haha ..

Gosh, need to back there and collect

Which weapon is recommended for warriors?

Using Sword + sword & Long bow right now.

well its a shouts healing tanky build but with long bow + rifle i tested it abit in spvp for a short while. doing good in 1 vs 1 until they rage and went 3, 4 on 1 against me trololol.

but err lets discuss this further in warrior or spvp topic then hahah.

this is Pwnstars guild tered.
edit:
i also haz this strange idea after something happened in wvw.

me and kite facebasher (cctv charr guardian) were going into some supply camp that we are gonna help attack.
the rest of the zerg already finishing up in there i guess.

then kite some some invader trying to escape and gave chase.
i proceed to chase also. the 2 of us, vs that lone escaping invader.

then suddenly that invader unleashed all attacks on me.

i was like dafuq? why he no attack kite facebasher?

me warrior, he guardian wor.

maybe he thought i glass cannon warrior since i wearing long bow.
but my traits are speced for survival. but my gear is not optimzied yet. still farming though.
so i got this weird idea.

what if i fooled them into thinking i am glass cannon build then they waste all their attacks on me and i survive through it?

Ok let's continue here haha.

Ok so it's shout tanky build with rifle and bow. Like a ranged support more than a glass cannon, like it.
facebasher is guardian? Lol. And is he tank build? If 2 ppl chasing me, one warrior one guardian, how tank they are spec-ed I'll still go for warrior first.

hahah err ya kite facebasher [cctv] is guardian err i dun think he is tank build though. not sure. i think dps perhaps?
hmmm but yeah. guardian and warrior, i think general perception is that guardian harder to kill than warrior.

well the build i tried for a short while in spvp (and gotten 50 glory points before i alt-f4 rage quit to avoid +1 death count) was rifle + long bow.

traits points goes like

strength / arms / defense / tactics / discipline
0 / 10 / 15 / 30 / 15

traits be
- / deep strike / turtle's defense / strong bowstrings, lung capacity, vigorous shouts / inspiring shouts

this is the spvp build that i tested.
spvp sigils for long bow + rifle i used both superior sigil of leeching. heal per attack on weapon switch.

err my pve build is the same, i switch out inspiring shouts with warrior's sprint instead.
weapons in pve / wvw i carry

long bow + axe & war horn

skills be

6 healing signet
7 for great justice!
8 shake it off!
9 dolyak signet
0 signet of rage

Gotta love warrior's sprint.
