Guild Wars 2

… that they know nothing about warrior apparently.
This patch buff is a total troll, not even starting from the so called “buff to heals”, cuz ye signet buff is a troll, mending is still useless, blood reckoning is actualy probably the worst healing in the game, defiant stance is still the sad version of the revenant healing (and considering revenant has access to 4 heal skills if using shield, this is even more ridicoulous), and to the limit would be a thing if it was 25 sec cd instead of increased heal.
To be fair, the only available heal is still… guess what… healing signet!!! Wich is still embarassing compared to other classes, since it can just heal 8k in 20 seconds.
Actualy, anet developers are just saying us “you have to dake defence line, discipline and berserker”, tactics is for pve and has the most saddest minor traits of gw2 history, most of the others classes have one single minor trait that summarize the entire tactics line, strenght would be nice but it force you with a GS (still the adepts traits are kitten), and ye arms good for trolling.
And dont let me start to talk about warriors skills, warhorn? 2 skills that togher do less than a single skill 4 of revenant staff, decapitate??! okay now i want to hear a single reason from developers, gimmi the reason to use this skill, except for draining my adrenaline as a result of 1 triple chop autoattack. Rlly why decapitate is so bad? if it has to have a so ridicoulous dmg output, at least give it a leap 600 range, something that a melee oriented class should have, but rlly every time i go to berserker and i look to decapitate skill rdy, i immediately swap cuz it would be a waste to use.

And now we have to come to this: brutal shot…. okay now i want a name from anet developers… the name of the genius giving an autododge to a skill that immobilize for 1 second. Rlly the genius who elaborated this skill, what was he thinking? lets give the warrior an extra evade to catch up with revenant and other classes? So, the genius, first of all made an evade that is not immediate, this means warriors need to predict the future, i’m gonna be burst in 1/2 second so i should use skill 4 (pfff), but okay warrior doesnt need skill i heard i can live with this, but furthermore…. the same skill that evade after 1/2 second of the cast gives 1s immobilize!!!!!! TROLOLOLORLORLRORLROL warrior TROLOLOLOL. Cuz ye you can now immobilize for 1 second, and guess what? you wont be able to land any attack aniway if that immobilize hit, cuz you are evading meanwhile!! GHAHGAHGHAGHAHGH TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Is like, mesmer from now your sword skill 3 will immobilize for 1 second, but you wont be able to use any burst skill in that second, F1 will be disable for the entire duration of the immobilize, same goes for sword skill 2!!!
Was it too hard to make the evasion BEFORE the immobilize hit? Need a Nobel to get that? Was too OVERPOWERED?? While ele is evading during the entire duration of rapid fire, and revenant the same with sword skill 3 and staff skill 5???
And to end this…the ultimate troll… berserker stance, the almost only counter for a melee class, lets even say the most susceptible class to condition spam, became countered by… conditions! Cuz now resistance can be corrupted or removed, so now we dont have anymore even those 10 seconds to try to land our attacks (i wrote “try” on purpouse, cuz opponents could just kite us for the entire duration of the berserker stance), but now you are removing also the only 10 seconds to be able to play as a warrior.

I have got to diamond with warrior only soloQ last season, almost legend (2 pips), and i can tell that was one of the most frustrating experience i had in a videogames, getting flamed by teammates before match even start, getting flamed if lost and getting flamed if win (cuz people start even to think they won 4v5 when they have a warrior in team), but the most frustrating thing was loosing from nobrain players playing overwhelming classes. I never got outplayed, i got outclassed. I challenge any anet developer to get diamond with warrior next season and then come back here to tell everyone their experience.
Sorry for beeing rude, but i had rlly to give my feedback for your work, cuz i think you have to understand when you are doing a terrible job, and what you have done from HOT release was in fact a TERRIBLE JOB. I also suggest to take any idea for the future changes you are gonna do directly from the warrior forum, there’s plenty of better ideas than the ones you came up with this patch troll buff. Players have better experience than you, use them.

Whoever work on the game balancing must be new to GW2 PvP :P.

they know nothing about PvP* at all…

getting flamed if win (cuz people start even to think they won 4v5 when they have a warrior in team)

Thanks for the laughs xD

Yeah tbh… this patch killed my envy to play the game, I almost deleted the game, for sure gonna do it soon enough anyway. Guys why are you even try hard-ing this hard?
It’s time for you to understand that they have any idea of how the class works and any major changes will not come for the next years, because they dare to change nothing. Just play with little numbers … how lazy work they’ve done. Nice rework we’ve been asking.
The Berserker spec…. omfg the laziest and most stupid spec they could have imagined.
The specialization itself goes against the warrior mechanics. We got already only one F1 (class special) … and they added a F2 ! COOL but it remplaces the old F1 … xD wtf

If you want to have with a melee warrior type class…. just go play revenant ! It’s more dynamic and more alive !

And tbh, the most frustrating part of all this… that yeah Anet can’t handle themselves being wrong ! It’s like they’re the geniuses and we have to try to figure out their mind and make it work for us. They’re perfect, they’re never wrong… and we have to just understand them.. one day.

This.

Let’s not forget that this is the same company that created wildstar. You’d think they would’ve learned from their mistakes after killing off an entire game.

Was the balance team diamond atleast. I know that isnt a measure of skill. But do they even rank high in their own fake measure of skill. The dev team should have a deep understanding of the profession they are balancing.

They should be at the lvl of pro but still cant compete because of conflicts with work. Or atleast have constant contact with top pros who understand better than they do.

This balance in a vacuum strat they are using with no test map isnt a good one.

Am i correct in saying that they just consult with eachother and not outside of thier teams in order to balance? Can Karl beat an average player in game?

This is how i see the balance team… “uhh i get beat all the time by condi… we should maybe do a passive plague signet at a certian percent so that dosent happen”

Shala, you have just summarized my entire pvp experience with my warrior, the last season.
I feel you, bro.
Applause.
Anet lied to us when talking about “improved sustain”. They added 5% to HS – LOL – and nerfed Berserker Stance.
That’s a nerf, not a boost.
On top of that, warriors still have ZERO synergy with the party. No group support and heal, almost no fields, worst stomping ability.
