Umm … what other change – that is actually used in common builds – got a serious buff?!? Hint: Rampage buff doesn’t count. Maybe the GS nerf/buff is a net gain, but that’s about it. And the Signet of Rage nerf is pretty harsh, too.

You realize that you don’t get things into “common builds” by nerfing or not-buffing them?

What would you buff? Things already constantly taken?

I was just commenting that you made it sound like we got some useful “serious buffs.”
We didn’t.
I’m all for build diversity. And buffing less used /weaker skills/traits is the way to do that (nerfing more powerful ones does, too, but is less popular obviously). But if you just make token buffs to fringe skills that still don’t make them worth playing (hello Rampage, Axe OH, Mace MH), it doesn’t really help.
What have they done to change the Fast Hands/Cleansing Ire/Healing Signet always passive meta??
Everyone remarks how powerful the longbow is. And it’s that way out-of-the-box. Maybe nerf the base abilities some more BUT give a major trait (maybe in Arms?) that gets it back and perhaps a bit more. Hambow needs CI, MH, and BM so that build couldn’t climb up and get it. Voila! more build diversity. Where else? Let’s buff Mending so it’s at least a consideration. Let’s give a decent incentive for pressing the active on HS. Either of these 2 would also make the Restorative Strength trait relevant and worthy of consideration. With the Adrenaline nerfs, Healing Surge (already a dog to HS) should have been reworked to help compensate. Let’s rework at least some of the stupid “while reviving” minor traits in Tactics. That sort of thing.

does the warrior’s GS f1 burst damage depends on level of adrenaline? for example 1st bar adrenaline does 700 damage. 2nd bar 1,400 damage 3rd bar is 2.1k ?

Surprised Combustive Shot was not heavily nerfed. That thing ruins much of pvp.

combustive shot has already gone through a few heavily unreasonable nerfs.

combustive shot is a well balance burst skill, and it is in a very fine spot at the moment.
no further adjustments are necessary.

would you kindly please stop making unreasonable claims?
thank you.

Dat warrior defender. If only pvp wasn’t a majority of warrior builds you would have a point.

Let me fix that for you:
combustive shot has already gone through a few changes that I (Deimos) did not agree with.

I (Deimos) think that combustive shot is a well balance burst skill, and you better not kitten change it.

no further adjustments are necessary, unless it is reverting the previous changes.

would you kindly please stop disagreeing with me (Deimos)?
thank you.

There have been many changes through out all the profession that at least one player of the profession did not like, thought was over the top, or was “unreasonable” however the without reasons to back up your claims other than opinion (bias opinion at that) how do you expect to sway anyone else to share that opinion, besides your passion for warrior.

Bran,
it is impossibru to sway the opinions of others, this, i know.
even if we present hard facts with solid numbers, haters will be haters.
hence, what can i do, is to be more vocal than them.

in the mean time, i am silently asking for buffs in other professions that i play besides warrior. as a casual gw2 player, i play warrior normally, in PvE, WvW and sPvP.
however, in sPvP, sometimes i play other professions as well.

during launch, warrior was very weak, i found myself kissing the floor often so in the end i started to explore mesmer instead, and found myself kissing the floor very much less often.

it was until they introduced cleansing ire that i started to play warrior again, with the healing signet buff, it completely sealed the deal and got me back playing warrior for good.

other professions that i play casually would be necromancer and thief.
also, i do not complain about warrior when i am not playing warrior myself.

Hey everybody,

Once again, the Skill Bar will air on Ready Up tomorrow at noon PDT (1900 UTC).

Tomorrow’s segment will cover the thief and warrior professions. For your feedback, please feel free to open a new thread (for each profession previewed) in the profession balance subforum after the preview and I’ll make sure the balance team knows where to find it.

The Skill Bar segment is a prerecorded balance preview. Each segment will cover 2 professions and Karl will talk about the changes as they are demonstrated. We decided to prerecord these segments because it allows us to cut down each profession from over 15 minutes to about 5 while still allowing us to show off the changes without making you wait for Karl to make build changes on the fly.

Dulfy gw2 + google ftw……
