Warrior sPvP | Tournament Greatsword, Hammer | Team fighter Insanity Warrior [GS/Hammer]
Table of Contents
Summary
Hey Guys,
There is just one thing I want to start with. This build has one simple function: Killing people...very very quickly...
I am calling it the 'Insanity Warrior' because its damage is so high. I kill people so quickly with this build. Since the new patch I have been experimenting with a few build setups but this one is just through the roof! You practically play the role of the thief as a warrior in PvP. Note that to have succes with this build, you are going to need skill. You must have mastered the profession warrior. You must have very high reacting time. If your skills are not good I would suggest to switch to some sort of longbow build first.
I hope you guys are going to enjoy this build as much as I do. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask!

Weapon and Skill Details
As you can see, for this build we use GS/hammer as our weapons. Many people say a warrior without a bow is weak in PvP. Those people are right, when you do not have enough skill this build will not bring you succes. But if you have mastered warrior, you are going to wipe the floor with literally everyone.
Why did I choose GS/hammer. It's simple... the damage and mobility. You are moving so fast across the map and also in combat. You can get away from sticky situations if you want to. Also people can't catch you in combat. You move so fast. And the hammer provides stuns and knockdowns for days! You can have 2k health left, then lock someone down with the hammer, do the rotation and almost kill them without them doing damage to you!
UTILITY SKILLS:
6: healing signet. Still the best choice because of regen. It also brings resistance to condition damage. If you have too many conditions on you just pop healing signet.
7: Since a lot of people are using condition builds we are going to need condi clear and condi prevention. So berserker stance is our condi prevention. Some sort of condition endure pain variant 
. It also gives us adrenaline which is very useful because we use our adrenaline stills quite a lot.
8: balanced stance: If you get locked down you will be dead in seconds. You will need the stability.
9: 5 seconds of no damage is huge. Even after the patch everyone is squishier. These 5 seconds are going to make a hell of a difference.
0: RAMPAGE: No explanation needed I suppose 
. This skill is mad. Killing people in seconds. Even 1v3 people sometimes.

Trait Details
Strength:
Peak performance: Best choice out of three. 20% recharge reduction and 10% more damage of physical skills. A nice buff isn't it 
.
Forcefull greatsword: Another damage buff for our GS love it.
Berserker's power: We are a damage dealer, let arcing slice crit for 8k damage. This trait will make that come true.
Defence: I looooove this line
Dogged march: We cannot be locked down because then we are dead. Therefore the reduction of 'lock down' is reduced. The regen is also nice
Armored attack: 10% of our toughness will be converted to power. Isn't that insane? That'll give us like +130 power 
. LOL
Cleansing ire: Adrenaline, I love it.... And it also clears conditions when you use your adrenaline. Every bar is one condition removed 
. I like the sound of that!
Discipline:
Warrior's sprint:
All the movement skills reach further and you run faster. Mobility is key to this build and so is this trait.
Brawler's recovery:
Let us add some more condi clear! You can also use destruction of the empowered if you'd like. That's no problem.
Merciless hammer:
I wanna marry this trait. 20% damage increase and recharge reduction of hammer attacks! Insane!
