Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, so gw 2 has been out for awhile and since then many skills have suffered some changes, either nerfs or buffs.

Recently i started using my warrior main again since long time and i noticed the new awsome arcing slice for greatsword and how much i like it. So i was wondering what weapon skills are peoples favourites.

Post below your favourite weapon skill. I’ll go first,

Arcing Slice( if burst skills dont count then Whirlwind Attack)

Healing Signet ftw.
I see signets as weapons.

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

Healing Signet ftw.
I never use it but it saved my life for many many times

Yeah healing signet is awsome and everything but i asked for weapon skills :P

WARRIOR GREATSWORD 3

Torch 4 as guardian.

Killing people with that firebolt is godly.

And the one engineers have where they pull you towards them.

Banish. Most entertaining skill in game.

Rapid fire hands down~~
It’s not because it’s OP or something, just that this machine gun type of shooting is really fun XD.

Favorite skills I use in forum PvP?

Banish, against forum trolls.
Arcane Brilliance, when I answer a hard question.
Cry of Frustration, when dealing with people with illogical arguments.
Phase Retreat, when the other side is winning

Ranger Greatsword – Swoop

1, no cooldown.

flamethrower : Flame Jet

Feel so nice burning things :d

Locust Swarm (Necro warhorn 5). Probably the best designed Necro weapon skill, since it does basically everything a Necro wants: sustain, preventing escape, and decent damage.

Meteor Shower + Tornado (swapping attunements in cast)
Ah, … can you hear it? The sound of destruction?
Nice, right?
(Yeah, I’m fine, don’t look at me like I’m a … :P )

Death Blossom and Cloak and Dagger.

Tornado doesn’t boost Power anymore, though.

Point blank shot

Shocking aura

Shield block on warrior. Mostly because it is doing exactly what a shield should be doing….blocking!

It amuses me to see Karka kill themselves from this when traited to reflect projectiles

Mesmer portals and reflect, what I would give to have these skills on my warrior…

Cleansing Flame — Guardian Torch 5

While I hardly use it, sadly, I still love the animation. My charr breathes blue fire.

Banish in pvp
pommel bash or skull crack in pve for maximum face-smashing without annoying knockback

Banish.

Mighty Blow is close second. Simple, good sound, cool particle effect, great damage, blast finisher… great.

lets try something else here.

Lets name 1 weapon, 1 healing, 1 utility and 1 elite skill (can also be combined with traits and runes for additional effects )

Weapon: Guardian staff 3, Symbol of swiftness
Healing: Engineers Healing turret
Utility: Thiefs Shadow refuge
Elite: Engineers Supply crate

Ranger’s Torch #5: Bonfire.

Guardian Ring of Warding.

I like using Engi pistol 3-Static Shock. I love how it bounces from enemy to enemy and its conditions are cool.

I love any skill that increases my run speed.

And Hundred Blades is really nice.

Lava Font from Ele
Meteor from Ele
Tornado from Ele
Fiery Greatsword from Ele
Portals from Mesmer
Flamethrower #1 skill from Engi
Focus #4 pulling skill From Mesmer (so much fun pulling people off towers etc.)
Fear from Necro
Spectral Wall from Necro
Healing Signet from Warrior
Hammer #5 skill from Guardian (that knockback distance is sweet – shame about the small range to use the skill though)
Ranger longbow #2 skill (quick damage)
Ranger quickening zephyr skill (for attacking faster)
All the stealth skills from thief
Guardian staff #1 skill (great for tagging multiple enemies for loot)
All the signets that give +25% movement speed. Saves me from having to buy 6 superior runes of speed – like for my guardian and Mesmer, in particular >_< I think all professions should have this skill.

Right there with you. The Warhorn for the Warrior, Retreat with the Guardian. Anything that makes it feel like I’m not running so kitten ed slow.

Now only if there were a skill to remove “Combat Speed”….

Rapid fire hands down~~
It’s not because it’s OP or something, just that this machine gun type of shooting is really fun XD.

Rapid fire reminds me of my favorite, though least-used, Hunter skill in WoW: barrage. Barrage in WoW fired a rapid stream of arrows at ALL targets in front of the player. It was great for interrupting people claiming control points in BGs. It was horrible for use in any dungeon, as it could easily pull EVERYTHING in front of the hunter.

I will admit, though, that I once deliberately cast barrage while turning in a circle, thereby pulling the whole room of trash and the boss, then cast Feign Death to break combat and watched as the rest of the party wiped.

Guardian – Hammer – Skill 4
Watch them fly, MUHAHA!!!

Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath Wave of Wrath……..

Revenant Axe #3. I win.

That skill is kittening amazing.

I think it depends on the class:

Guardian: Banish always loved this skill for obvious reasons.

Warrior: RUSH

Thief: Honestly, It’s pretty hard for thief, visually it would be death blossom.

Ranger: Dunno only class i don’t have

Engineer: It has to be Grenade Barrage when wielding a predator, the Sci-fi sounds with that particular skill are more obvious then an SAB warhorn

Mesmer: Pistol dualists are fun

Elementalist: I’ve always loved the swirling winds animation

Necromancer: It has to be Locust swarm, it’s a very cool well animated skin, still hope for a weapon that can change the locust in a blue chilly ice wind type of thing frost/necro works so well

Point Blank Shot for me on my Ranger. Especially when I’m in a World Boss Zerg. Love listening to all the Warriors cry when the Boss is pushed away(too bad Champ World Boss are immune to pushbacks. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Unshakable)

I really don’t remember the names of weapon skills haha.

Thief: Backstab
Guard: GS #5
Ele: Ride the lightning (before the cooldown nerf)
Mesmer: Sword #2
Engineer: Rifle #5
Necro: Dagger #3
Ranger: Maul
Warrior: GS #4
Revenant: That skill in the cinematic trailer where Rytlock teleports from enemy to enemy, stabbing them. It reminds me of flicker strike from Path of Exile. Do want!

Doggie.3184:

Banish. Most entertaining skill in game.

skyhammer in a nutshell xD

if engi kits count then elixir gun 4…if not then rifle 5 on engi

Staff Elementalist Fire 2 or 5

As soon as you drop it down, someone in the mob will take great offense, and use their corresponding griefing skill to bounce the mob out of it.

Because how dare I?

+America #1!

Thief – D/P Shadow Shot. Lets you move through a mob quickly.
