Guild Wars 2

Some classes have horrible secondary stat displacement while others have amazing ones, why can’t we pick and choose which tree has what for secondary stats?

Warriors themselves waste a lot of points trying to get what they want, what does it matter if I have 700+ Vitality if I waste 250 points in the precision tree and 20 points in discipline tree to get stats I don’t even use? Greatsword warriors get no benefit from condition damage. Brawn does absolutely nothing. That is 450 points alone wasted that could of been to something USEFUL.

Yes I have a lot more starting health, but when i’m wasting stats why not just go Guardian and grab the toughness tree? Or Elementalist and get the Attunement tree?

Greatsword warriors get their bleed damage increased, they apply the bleeds on critical hits.

If anything it’s a tree that makes “sense.”
Other professions are not so lucky and have condition damage trees without applications of conditions within them. So the stat is completely wasted. That isn’t the case for warriors. Since precise strikes causes 3 stacks of bleeding at minimum that trait is always giving you some extra damage. 1.5x from critical hits landing an additional from bleeds being caused. Since the condi damage fuels the bleed trait you’ll find your damage increasing more as you go into the trait even if you deal only power damage.
Hardly an example of “horrible” stat displacement.

Greatsword Warriors don’t use bleeds. They probably have 2-3 of them at a time and barely use them at all, they mostly use them for the 10% damage buff.

a 40-43 bleed isn’t worth 250 stats.

Greatsword mostly does direct damage and uses bleeds just to buff that, so it doesn’t matter if you have condition damage, it makes almost less then 1% of a difference.
