Warrior PvE | Dungeon Greatsword, Axe/Warhorn | Damage DPS dungeon build for new lvl 80 warriors. [Training wheel guide before you go full zerker]
Table of Contents
Summary
LAST UPDATE: 7 JULY 2014
If you are dying too much wearing a full zerker armor and following the meta build, take a look here.
This guide is a "training wheel" guide for those new level 80 players who haven't done all dungeons yet and are unaware of the dodges to do in dungeons.
This guide is also for experienced players who wish to go a casual approach to the dungeons/ PUG while maintaining good DPS.
I have included Exotic accessory that's the reason the stat looks lower with respect to the meta builds because this guide is noob friendly.
