Guild Wars 2

So, after reading the stuff on the new berserk mode for warriors, this sounds godlike.

Traits:

Smash Brawler: Reduce the recharge skill of your primal burst skills by 5s when you kill a foe. This basically means after a certain point in a fight, which can be very short, you’ll be able to just spam your berserk skill. No CD

Dead or Alive: If you take fatal damage while Berserking, you will prevent the death and heal you for a flat amount + amount of adrenaline you have left. This will end the Berserk mode early. Minimum heal: 2600. No CD

Eternal Champion: Get pulsing stability in Berserk mode. Gain stability also when you break a stun. Basically permanent Stability. With Cleansing Ire and other adrenal traits, you’ll just re-enter berserk mode in a few seconds.

Combine those above traits with Cleansing Ire for near instant adrenaline refill as well as other adrenaline traits, and you’ll just be able to spam F1 with something op, like the new hammer skill which does an aoe knockback, insane dps, and a blast finisher.

Do you guys think about this stuff at all for WvW?

I’ll admit, this does sound grossly overpower in PvP and WvW. But I bet it gets nerfed to the ground before release . . . hopefully. But I’d like to see some testing in beta beforehand.

Headbutt is insane, I dunno the whole class was already strong now it’s even stronger. Wish I liked the playstyle more so I could pwn. But I’ll stick to Rev and guardian

At the other end of the spectrum you have Tempest:
Doesn’t give you stab and puts a squishy class in melee range with abilities that barely do damage or mitigate any while asking you to camp an attunement for 8-10 seconds with an elite that does nothing at all…

It’s so unfair and unbalanced: like the two elite professions aren’t made for the same game.

They weren’t made by the same people. Maybe that’s a hint.

I wouldn’t use it over Def/Tac/Disc.

I wouldn’t put it past them to put an ICD on some of them since they seem really freaking strong especially in group situations where it at a glance hard to put a warrior now more than ever.

It actually seems pretty OP everywhere. This one will definitely get adjusted before release.

working as intended boys

Don’t mind xil, he’s extremely upset about the tempest. Mind yoy, I agree with just about everything he says, but I’m remaining positive so I don’t cry

However im truly thinking about making war my main

“Smash Brawler” even with no ICD, you are only Berzerking for 15 seconds. In reality, I think you will still be hard pressed to get off more than 4 primal bursts in that 15 secs. That aside, since when doesn’t ANet stick ICDs on everything. Im guessing there will be something like a 5 sec ICD on this.

“Dead or Alive” only works during that 15 sec Berzerk mode. Obviously, you aren’t going to be immune to death, so course there is an ICD. It is likely, you will only get this once per zerker state.

“Eternal Champion” only gives 1 stack of 3 sec stab every 3 seconds for 15 secs. The most you will ever have at any one time from this is 1 stack which in WvW is ripped off of you faster than it is applied. Breaking a stun only gives one stack of stab. Doesn’t really seem OP for a GM trait.

"

The trait kicks you out of berserker mode, so yeah, only once per berserker state.

Yes, but with traits like Cleansing Ire, Versitile Rage, Vigorous Shouts, (all pretty standard for WvW) or the other new elite shouts introduced, you’ll be able to build up full adrenaline after a few seconds, so you can then be immune from death again.

I agree. This Is gonna be OP for pvp and WvW.

;) Nah its ok, I just want Anet to get Tempest right. And I’m not upset at all, I’m just critical. I have a 80 of every class anyway.
