tobixnew

I don't know what is better in pvp now. sentinel or destroyer ?
I've tried a lot of thing on my gwf but still not the build I'm searching for...
It would be interesting to hear what other gwfs do with the nerf.

The ones used are pretty much

Destro with heroic focused on attack, high power and crit, high con, mostly offensive boons and focus on high burst damage, then monster hp with vital blue pvp rings, black ice, plated belt of con and so on, plus high regen. Very effective if you have a maxed out toon and can slot a lot of hps. Rotation is usually fls/takedown/ibs. You survive with your hp pool and re gen while your DPS kill the enemy fast. Build not mine but from another gwf. Didn't post details cause well, it's his build so his decision to share it or not.

Many gwf in the 40k hp range instead go for double pvp ring for tenacity and may be some more defensive feats from heroic and boons. I keep using unstoppable recovery but it could be a better choice only if you reach monster 55-60k hp cause there you go unstoppable more and heal more.

Armor is full purified BI.

One thing you've to keep in mind is that imho now DPS burst>survivability to some degree. You must burn the enemy fast as a gwf usually, and just survive enough to do so. No more point holding with all the glyphs and insane DPS around.

IV > Destroyer always

Perma Runner Style: 5/5 CD in Takedown (td,ibs,bf) - this is slightly better
Executioner Style : 5/5 in Executioner (td,ibs,fls) - this is what I prefer

If P.Vorpal 1 Point in Deep Gash 4/5 in Great Weapon Focus to stack on Focused Destroyer otherwise if GPF 5/5 in Great Weapon Focus

29 CON -> some focus on DEX some STR, I prefer DEX
