Guild Wars 2

The recent patch changes to Berserker’s Power do not match the preamble:

“One important trait that changed in this process was Berserker’s Power, which is an important trait for warriors who rely on Power damage. This trait previously granted a damage bonus based on the tier of adrenaline you were at when you used a burst skill. We’ve updated this trait to better scale with the amount of adrenaline you use so that warriors can feel good about using lower-level bursts consecutively rather than always waiting for the level 3.”

What they failed to implement was having each new application of Berserker’s Power refresh the duration of the previous stacks. With the change, warriors cannot feel good about using lower-level bursts consecutively because it is impossible to maintain 3 stacks of Berserker’s Power without using a level 3 burst.

In addition, the change to Primal Bursts prevents Power Berserkers from maintaining 3 stacks of Berserker’s Power unless they use a regular level 3 burst, which is antithetical to the design of the elite specialization.

This change also reduces the value of Adrenal Health. This is an effective nerf to Power warriors and goes against ArenaNet’s stated intent for the change.

Suggested Fix: Each new application of Berserker’s Power and Adrenal Health refresh the duration of all previous stacks. This would allow warriors to build up in power and regeneration, while coinciding with the design intent.

Sure to berserkers power, hell no to adrenal health. You should have to make a conscious decision to save up for a T3 burst outside of berserker mode in order to get that T3 adrenal health. It shouldn’t be given away literally for free just for playing berserker, like it has been since HoT dropped

It wouldn’t be given away for free. You would have to land 3 Primal Bursts.

I thought this was how it now worked. I noticed every time I used Primal Burst, it would increase the tier of adrenal health?
