I’d like to organize a dedicated ceremony to the death of power berserker.

If someone would like to recommend a location (personally I was thinking outside of ArenaNet’s headquarters) we can look to find a peaceful spot to celebrate this already underpowered PvP spec getting nerfed into oblivion by cash grabs. Please bring Pizza.

We can include any other specs that were thoroughly destroyed by wild incompetence as well.

That sounds lovely. And they say PvP players have no class.

Ok, so I have read the patch notes and I personally don’t see anything major to warrant a vigil. What am I not seeing in the notes?

Profession:
Primal Burst: These skills now count as level-1 bursts for the purposes of traits that scale on adrenaline level.

Just in case that isn’t clear, when you take all these slow, telegraphed moves that you need to hit for condi clear and sustain, and to ramp up damage…

And you nerf all of them by 66%…. Power Berserker was already struggling against anyone with half a brain to dodge roll.

So the primal burst damage is treated as T1 instead of 3?

Its “power” level now goes accordingly to its ease of use, this was actually a decent patch.

Yes, its nerfed into oblivion and considering that Warrior was already the least used class in high level play, anyone who says this was warranted or a “decent patch” is delusional.

Decent patch. I remember when I mained my war/berserker, watching my class being Anet’s favorite child, all “balances” were very easy on us compared to the other classes.

I got bored of how easy I had it (I was not pro by any standards) so I switched. Granted soem balances were not warranted (like the shield bash for instance), however overall it is what I wish we got when I played it. Very recently I started to pick it back up again. Very rocky start (rusty af) but now actual skill is required to beat some classes. Most fun I have had on it in a while.

Yeah after getting nerfed in the last patch, warrior was already in the less used and desirable classes. But I guess some people still tougher it out and played it. So hopefully with this nerf, they will completely destroy the utility of the class and prevent more people from playing it.

While I understand that maybe the mechanics of berserker are fairly easy to grasp, it is absolutely ridiculous that they took this approach. Berserker doesn’t feel like a bloodlusting berserker, it feels stupid. It gets nuked by condis, it doesnt get jack kitten for landing telegraphed burst, and it’s only been changed because of spellbreaker.

If you can tell yourself that Berserker needed a 66% nerf to these capacities with the amount of condi stacking and power creep that is currently in the game, I don’t think you’re actually assessing balance logically.

Your nostalgia doesn’t tie into the current state of the game, and while I appreciate higher skill ceilings, they need to have repercussions for people getting hit by skills that have enormous tells.

Once again, this class could not be properly used at high level play before this nerf. Now? Blatant catering to spellbreaker reliance for power builds.

The only positive thing about this is that I have no problem choosing core warrior now. I don’t think it should be such an easy decision for Power Builds just because Anet wants money.

Take heart. Mirage will be nerfed into the ground after release. Warrior will be up again soon enough. This a well established pattern.

WvW “balance” should never be a concern in any decisions. It is impossible to balance a game mode like that and they really shouldn’t try.

I played war in season 5 and they got pooped on by a good dh, doesn’t matter what your build is or how good you are. They then nerfed war way too hard and gave dh a slap on the wrist, all while silver scrubs where complaining about warriors “stunlock kills”.

Anet needs to include a minimum MMR in the pvp forums if you ever want warriors to be good.

Yeah so

I’m actually pretty concerned about the direction of the game after seeing this change to primal burst adrenaline use. This is pretty similar to if you were to walk into a Walmart and just see employees lighting things on fire and blowing up products for absolutely no reason other than to watch them burn. All the while, scaring the kitten out of customers so they leave and never return.

I use the name Barbie on all of my characters.

Alot of people have asked for ranks showing in the forums.

For instance the bronze/silver/gold players complaining about X class is completely different from what plat/legendary players are asking for in the case of balance.

For me Anet had a chance S5 to do this but they couldnt even get Leader Boards back into the Leader Board forum.

As someone who mained warrior and ele in PvP. Warrior has been the worst class since HOT.

Season 1 and 2 it was the class that if you were a average player running a meta build you could beat any warrior build.

Season 3 they got some love and it was usable till S6. I dont know about S7 since i didnt really play.

But this thread can go to any build that isnt a new POF spec line. Seriously get ready boys because PvP is about to get Fooked. ( if you are still playing )
