Im looking for a good pvp build for my warrior but i cant pic a good secoundary so Im hear to ask for help

I was thinking W/N for the blood magic to steal health

And the W/Mes for illusionary weapon, but does it do well in pvp with all the magic damage reducers?

or finnaly W/R for the pet

I cant really think of a good way to use a W/E with all the high cost skills

And face it, there are way to many W/Mo and im not going to be one

There's a good reason there's so many w/mo's...

Anyways, I always like the w/me. Tossing a backfire on your favorite spellcaster is quite useful, and then you can go about being a warrior. Anything should work though.

The preset "Abominable Snowman" is a good example of a W/E build.

My PVE W/E feels a bit weak, though I'm sure there are some nice PVP builds. Whirlwind is an awesome quick-casting 10-energy spell for knocking down all attacking enemies in an AOE (best of all, it does that knockdown even with zero points into Air Magic). Glyph of Lesser Energy is awesome for using pretty much any Elementalist spell you want. For a while my W/E used Eruption, which does nice AOE damage and blinds players around you. I was also able to use Armor of Earth with that build, if I wanted to be even more armored.

The easiest W/N builds capitalize on Necromancer life regain skills. Siphon Life on two targets as you run into the fight makes you really hard to get damage on. Blood Renewal is probably even better since it's cheaper on the energy (but requires you to sacrifice 33% health at the start of the spell). Or you could go Strip Enchantment to remove Healing Wind from whichever target you're hitting on - and gain health in the process. ...and that's without getting into the Curses you could potentially use. Weaken Armor reduces enemy armor by -20 against Physical attacks.

With any W/? build, you have to account for poor Warrior energy regen and the availability of Warrior Adrenaline abilities. Don't take many high energy abilities without a method of getting them cast - or at least be very situational about when you use such abilities (one W/Me I used had two 15-energy spells, Imagined Burden and Backfire; I would have to be very strategic with where I used each ability, since it would take a long time to get that 15 energy back.)

It'd probably be worth looking into the Warrior skills to see if there are any that would be extra powerful if you had more energy to work with - and either be a E/W with energy storage to spam those abilities or be a W/Me with energy-stealing abilities.

I have a W/N. She was sword/blood magic at first and I didn't do well with it personally in pvp. I switched to sword/curses last night and it seems to be working better for me. That health degeneration really hurts opponents in pvp.

I haven't tried W/Me or W/R. I could see how W/R might be nice for the pet. W/Me might work well too with the health degeneration spells that you can get in the illusion line.

Like anything else in GW, I think it all comes down to what you like to do is the best one for you. That's why I love this game!

My brother loves his W/Me. It is not only anit-caster but it is great support for your casters. Cast epidemic and watch what happens as your Mes, Nec cast a debuff.
