Guild Wars 2

Currently, there is absolutely no reason to use Berserker Stance. Signet of Fury has a passive, instantly fills your bar when used, and recharges faster wen traited. So what would make this skill worthwhile? At first I considered something like this:

Berserker Stance(8 sec): Gain adrenaline and lose a condition every second.

This seemed like a good way to make the skill more appealing, but then I had a better idea. Currently, there are 2-3 popular builds that use a large amount of blinds. I decided was warriors really need was their own version of Utility Goggles:

Berserker Stance(8 sec) : Gain adrenaline every second. You are immune to blind.

This skill would differ itself from Goggles by not being a stun breaker and lasting 2 seconds less. Although with this effect I would even consider bringing the Sure-Footed trait. This would give warriors a way to combat the current meta, because currently thieves can apply blind almost every 3 seconds, sometimes less, and guardians can have 3 skills, 2 on fairly low cooldown. The duration may need to be modified or the skill may need a longer cooldown but overall immunity to blind is something warrior desperately need.

Personally as a warrior player when I face someone with a blind I’ll just spam my autoattack as it does decent damage. After I see 3 or so blinds I go for a kill combo. While I think warriors need some free condition removal like the other classes have I think that Blind Immunity would be too powerful.

Engineers need to set up their damage alot and they dont do that much upfront damage. But imagine a warrior who does asstons of direct damage in a short peroid of time being immune to blinds.

What warriors are missing are Crowd Control and more worthwhile Conditions on their weapon skills and a less buggy Bola hitframe. I throw it at someone at 600 range and it says out of range or obstructed on a flat surface. Beautiful.

Also having to charge Adrealine seems silly… Since Warriors Burst Skills are worth less or the same amount as another classes F1 and are grossly overshadowed by most classes F1-4

Crowd control is one of the few things warrior has is great supply. Simply bringing a Mace/Shield with bulls charge allows you to punish someone who’s stability is on cooldown. That being said going full CC isn’t the best decision because like I said as soon as someone pops stability you become worthless for that period of time. As for spamming auto to remove blind, sounds great and all except that because many of them are applied so fast it’s easy to make you miss the setup for your damage, not to mention thieves can use blinding powder almost constantly and will not leave it or will use it to apply stealth. Guardian (One of my alts) also has aegis and other tricks to survive while not being a full bunker (Which tends to be the burn/blinding build).

I don’t see how it’s not too strong for a RANGED class like Engi (My other alt) to have blind immunity while a melee class like warrior would make it too strong. It doesn’t mean that we’ll suddenly become OP, it’ll just mean that builds with blinds AND blocks/stealth won’t have such an easy time.
