• Twitch: Drazeh
• Twitch: Iza

• Defensive Condizerker Roamer - WvW Roaming version of the build.

Skill Variants

Weapons

• Sword/Torch over Longbow - sustain and range in trade for better mobility and higher burst potential, aggressive setup.

Utility

• 威能纹章 over 裂岩怒击 - if you're expecting to face opponents who rely on blocking skills to survive, you could pick SoM as a tech option. Works especially well when paired with CC skills like 碾颅 that can cancel the block if they land.

Elite

• 头槌重击 - strong CC and arenaline refill on low CD, also breaks stuns.

Variants

• 盾牌大师 allows you to reflect projectiles while blocking which is quite useful against many specs including most Rangers, Mesmers and even mirror matchups.

Variants

• 碎裂射击 offers CD reduction and improved autos on Longbow but gives up better mobility and the ability to break out of 定身 using movement skills like or .

Equipment Variants

Relics

• - high re-sustain alternative, best option for sidenoding.

Runes

Sigils

• over - increases your burst damage and adds another condition to your first after weapon swapping, but decreases uptime which could allow enemies to recover faster.

Elite specialization basics

• Berserker grants Warriors access to (F2), a mode during which they gain new burst skills.

• To enter Berserker mode you must have full adrenaline (30/30). The Berserking burst skill (Mace) and (Longbow) become available during this time frame, these cost 10 adrenaline (which amounts to 1 regular adrenaline bar, 1/3 of the cost of what it took to enter Berserker mode).

• and are both important adrenaline management tools. They're especially useful for getting back to full adrenaline just before recharges so you don't have to waste time building adrenaline while Berserker is available. Even in Berserker mode they are useful, allowing you to quickly fill up the adrenaline bar for back-to-back burst combos.

General

• Stay on Mace/Shield while moving between capture points when you don't have . This will give you a 25% movement speed boost from .

  • Don't let your adrenaline go to waste when you're leaving a fight! Using burst skills even without a target will give you , making it easier to get around the map.

• Both the initial cast and the landing strike of restore adrenaline, so try to land on top of enemies. The skill also applies useful cover conditions for burst combos and could act as a gapcloser.

• restores 5 adrenaline on weapon-swap. This is quite useful when you're just a little short of having enough adrenaline to use burst skills, especially if you're having difficulty building adrenaline (like getting outranged or spammed).

• Much of the pressure comes from spamming and in Berserker mode as much as possible.

• Use to root people into other important skills like or AoE fields from Longbow F1.
