Guild Wars 2

First off this is not a qq post this is what I use in game that I feel needs to be looked into.

I’m making this topic after playing some spvp hotjoin today.

Some builds need to be looked into here is my build for warrior I use

http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.2.12.4.0.15.0.0.0.0.28.35.49.32.50.2.2.24.80.84.86.95.100.102.0.0.0.126.0.0.0.0.0.30.30.0.10.0

Now I will tell you how I use it and the fact the it can 1-2 shot people makes it feel like to me needs to be looked into .

Now people will say it’s hotjoin I still think even in hotjoin you should not be able to do this it’s not fun for the person and the person doing it.

Now the how to do it, works 75% of the time I would say.

You start out using Signet of Fury when you get into the match before it starts is the best time.

This will give you full adrenaline + 12% more dmg from your trait Berseker’s Power.

Then when you see a target use Signet of Rage this plus the trait Empowered will give you more dmg.

Now when in range of Bull’s Charge, use Frezny first into Bull Charge into Hundred Blades.

If the target is not down from that then after Hundred Blades is done swap weapons fast and use Whirling Axe if done right haste will still be on for Whirling Axe then after that use Eviscerate and the target will be down.

This needs to be look at also with some thief builds I use but since I play warrior more then I do thief I’ll but this build up first in hopes people can use it or learn why they just where downed in 1-2 hits.

Again not a qq post I play a warrior 27% of the time next to my thief at 21%.

Yes I could use something else but thats another topic.

I hope the devs will look into this

Thanks for reading

TL:DR Some builds need to be looked into

Concerns with Frenzy > Hundred Blades are as old as the forums themselves. They’re a time honored tradition, and I’m not sure what we’d discuss without them.

Joking aside, the build can dish out incredible damage, but experienced players are largely able to predict and easily avoid this combo. In short, it’s really not much of a problem in competitive play.

That said, there’s something to be said for addressing the concerns of less experienced players. Getting one shotted by Hundred Blades when you’re just learning the game can be incredibly frustrating.

I think it’s likely that ANet will address this issue in a future patch. I just hope they find a way to do it that won’t impact competitive play too much, because Warriors really aren’t overpowered in tPvP, imo.

there’s really nothing to look into
you’ve built whole spec to max damage, and you’re surprised you can kill noobs in hotjoin?

This is what JonPeters mean by Warrior being “Master Yi”

This build is legit pub-stomper and has VERY little thought process. In short, its a garbage build in the long run because it has ZERO stun breaks and no mobile strikes.

You don’t want Master Yi, you want Irelia + release Xin in one package.

It’s more about downing people then anything else I don’t think any build should be able to do it this fast and yes in tpvp this would be a bad build.

then you’re having a moment of realization i guess. gw has always had emphasis on fast combat and potential for insta-kills from focus fire.

Frenzy + chop / double chop / tripple chop = better then frenzy + whirling axe unless fighting a group, then your are probably dead before your frenzy ends.

With a build like that you likely die at least as much as you kill. Atrocious survivability. I love warrior Greatsword/Axe but I roll defensively with 20, 0, 30, 0, 20 and often have 300+ points hot join games with no death. I could never pull that off when I played glass canon.

I’m tending towards that said 100b warrior is fine. It definitely was frustrating for me at first, but I think it’s a learning curve that anyone is capable of overcoming if only they are willing.

With the current hotjoin system perversed on various levels, such high burst damage builds do indeed yield easy kills. But, and hopefully, once the system is fixed, and the majority of players see the game as a proper team game, these builds will be viewed with the proper perspective, which is already present in tPvP plays

1 stun break and your warrior just died.
Most non-glass cannon builds have at least 1 stun break built into their build.

I expected backstab thief, shatter mesmer or bunker ele but no a squishy DPS warrior without endure pain and shieldblock >_>
