I would like to collect a more neutral opinion from all classes, that according to your opinion, do you agree with the proposed buff in the threads I link to? Do you find it reasonable? Do you think they’re asking too much? Please provide feed-backs.

The idea for baseline Fast Hands and warriors sprint is just silly and selfish. Warriors don’t need it, for one, and classes don’t have hidden passives baseline like that. It would be a very unintuitive design change.

Fast Hands can be baseline if they make every on swap effect a Warrior can access have a 20+ icd. That includes sigils. Otherwise I’m against it.

Warrior Sprint baseline would be silly.

As for Cleansing Ire, I’ve seen suggestions to split the effect and make just the “Adrenaline on getting hit” baseline. And I think that would be a good change. The condi cleanse however should not under any circumstances ever come for free.

Warrior is my most played alt class and if anything the class needs to have its support shaved. Mainly an increase to Warbanner cast to make it 3s, cooldown set to 180 seconds and it’s radius reduced to 180 to bring it in line with other Revive skills. As well as having have shouts changed to get increased cooldowns with stronger effects. Physical skills need to be buffed though.

Cleansing Ire should be a minor. The other two major traits in the same line cannot compete against Cleansing Ire because CI is necessary for warriors to be viable. With CI being a minor, the master major traits will be equally good and warriors have some choice over what they want in the defense line. I can then actually see a choice in picking between Last Stand, Cull the weak, and Spiked armor. I can’t see CI being baseline, but as a minor trait would do it.

FH should be baseline. It’d make warrior feel a little bit more distinct and then they could balance EVERY warrior trait and skill around the warrior having it. Discipline won’t be a require traitline anymore. Instead of Defense/Disc/x, it’ll just be Defense/x/x. Which will open up more diversity choice for warriors.

Warrior sprint shouldn’t be baseline.

And they can only equip 2 sigils and sacrifice utility slot. Not to mention post patch you guys can take Brawler defense and cleanse every 5 seconds. (You’re going to take full discp, 3 traits, and also Brawler is just major trait)

Yeah, and while that’s not the argument to have with me because I hate engineer, as said, like Ele, they can’t abuse sigils with their fast swaps because they only get one set.

Also kits aren’t weapon swaps, they’re kit toggles. That’s a unique function that isn’t shared across classes that would require it to be streamlined, like weapon swapping.

I main warrior and I think that having CI as a minor would be overpowered I’ll prefer having just the adrenaline part instead of thick skin as minor and CI only affecting conditions.

Warrior sprint must NOT become baseline, that would be crazy OP!

As for fast hands, having it baseline would also be OP.
If they made it baseline, I would like to see it interact with adrenaline in some way.
For example, you can swap anytime, but if you swap under CD, you get penalized. You could lose some adrenaline or not being able to gain adrenaline for some time and it could be proportional to the remaining CD.

All in all, I am against buffs to things already massively used (for any profession) and I would love to see adrenaline becoming more nuanced in it’s usage instead of just buffs.

What warriors need is more complex than simply ‘buffs or nerfs’. Shoutbow could be toned down, yes, but they are in need of other changes so that this isn’t the only competitive build they have.

However, I think that they will be fine after the trait changes that are coming down the line.

Please do not give the OP any more attention than he needs, aside from the extreme profession bias towards Warriors and Elementalists (He’s been over there too) the threads listed are simple Warrior balance discussions among us of the profession.

While many people cry for a nerf to thief and ranger, Warrior actually go the other way round of asking for more buffs than ever. They misunderstand the reason of why Anet makes things baseline. Anet makes things baseline because some skills are TOO WEAK without the trait, but Warrior is actually pushing the best traits to be baseline because “every warrior uses it, it’s too good not to use it! It’s killing our diversity!” The funny thing is every professions have the same problem if they want to be top tier efficient in PVP. So does that mean every professions should get everything that’s too good not to pick as baseline? Is that what you guys want?

If a warrior isn’t running Shoutbow nowadays (s)he doesn’t stand a chance. The way that I’ve built my ele… I don’t have to kite to win against them (unless they do a knockdown chain build). The whole class needs to be retooled, a few buffs aren’t going to help.

This Aomine kid seems like one of those people who still get hit by random Moa’s tbh. Probably thinks Warrior is OP because he can’t dodge long casting times.

Interesting how people defend Warrior, the top and must-have class in any competitive team, while constantly QQing and asking for nerf about ranger, the worst class of PVP currently, evident by TOL3. Guess people really are THAT BAD. It also show that the Warrior’s community base is much larger than Ranger ever could have been, and so many people are using Warrior right now.

Also, Warrior’s Elite spec hasn’t even been shown, yet people are already using Chrono and DH as comparison. What a joke. Oh, also don’t pretend that Warrior doesn’t get buffed. The rework of Power line, Defense line, and Discpline line, with lots of good merges and better placement. Some classes are actually getting a nerf, like Engineer and Necromancer. Mesmers and Guardians need to make extremely tough decision for their common build too thanks to the new specialization system that only allows 3 trait lines to be picked.

Warrior sprint should not be base line because it’s not a necessity to perform, it’s more of an option.

I like the defense line suggestion, partly because of cleansing ire as minor, partly because moving spiked armor out of minor means less of that annoying boon around.

Not so fond of the fast hands suggestion, that’s forcing a playstyle on every warrior that should be an optional thing.

Cleansing Ire should be a minor.

The condi cleanse part of CI is too strong to be a minor as is. And I’m reasonably sure no one wants to see it get shaved.

However, if I look at mesmers and what traits they’re getting as a baseline

Mesmer’s IP and CI are quite different in the amount of strength they add to the class as far as I’m concerned. That doesn’t mean I condone the amount of stuff Mesmer is getting for free either. Illusionary Elasticity being baselined is ridiculous.

I think all other classes should be getting way more traits as baseline

Power Creep is bad. Real bad. Better to rework the mechanics that make people feel forced to take a certain trait than simply try to give everyone more strengths to counter weaknesses. Because that doesn’t work well, ever.

Agreed on CI, Defense is primarily orientated towards taking hits (which leads us to why its abundant in PvP/WvW).

FH not being used in your argument implies that 0-2 points would be put into Disc for a build. Too bad it’s extremely critical in many a PvE Warrior build which says to me you are blowing hot air.

Right now, before the trait revamp, Warriors are forced into Discipline in all viable builds, ALL of them. This is where it gets really funny, because this means Discipline as a whole is better than any other line we have out of sheer utility, it has a use everywhere unlike our soon to be revamped Arms line. That’s scary in a lot of ways, because it means we won’t see too many changes once the revamp hits, unless we do something about this tree alone Warriors are going to get stale fast.

Yeah trait revamp will be coming in a week or two. I’m totally going to drop Disp and go for the new Strength, Arm, and Tactic. (20% dps after using burst skill? count me in please! ) Add that with the classic Arm, Tactic Phanlanx Strength, I can expect many people give-up fast-hand for that. It’s nice to finally have a high dps Phanlanx Strength build. People are exaggerating the 9 sec CD swap because all the other classes (except maybe engi?) have to adapt to this. Currently Warrior use FH to trigger 4 sigils, switch weapon to blast for mights, and gain free Adrenaline through swapping, and relying on adrenaline to cleanse too. That’s why it’s most used in PVP. But in PVE this feature is not really needed.

Just make them move slower and give them more skills to knockback, cripple etc… They should NOT be able to outrun everyone like little fairies…

Here’s my take on the situation:

Thick Skin should gain the “Adrenaline-on-Hit” portion of Cleansing Ire and either have it’s Threshold reduced to 75%, or the Base Toughness gain upped to 150 Toughness while over 90%.

Cleansing Ire should instead grant Increased Resistance to all Damage dependant on Adrenaline Level (3/5/7%) and Cleanse 1-3 Conditions when you hit with a Burst Attack. This will make this skill more of a Tactical Choice for the Warrior than an Insta-cleanse key. This might prompt it to change place with Sundering Mace and become a Grandmaster trait, but considering noone’s gonna pick Sundering Mace anyway that isn’t much of a deal.

Fast Hands is fine where it is, and should definitely not be made baseline considering the current state of the Game with too many Instant-Reward “On Swap” Sigils. If ANet takes a look at these “On Swap” (Primarily Earth/Hydromancy) and change them to function like say Leeching or Intelligence (Charges added to your next attacks when swapping weapons) and allow for these to be Consumed if an attack is Blocked or Misses, THEN Fast Hands can be made Baseline imo.

Thief – Duelist | Ranger – Strider | Engineer – Technician |
Elementalist – Spellweaver | Necromancer – Warlock | Mesmer – Trickster |

now, now, please be reasonable would you?

if you made them any slower, they would never catch up with anyone to deal any melee damage.

Yeah trait revamp will be coming in a week or two. I’m totally going to drop Disp and go for the new Strength, Arm, and Tactic. (20% dps after using burst skill? count me in please! ) Add that with the classic Arm, Tactic Phanlanx Strength, I can expect many people give-up fast-hand for that. It’s nice to finally have a high dps Phanlanx Strength build. People are exaggerating the 9 sec CD swap because all the other classes (except maybe engi?) have to adapt to this. Currently Warrior use FH to trigger 4 sigils, switch weapon to blast for mights, and gain free Adrenaline through swapping, and relying on adrenaline to cleanse too. That’s why it’s most used in PVP. But in PVE this feature is not really needed.

It’s…possible after the revamp that Arms might be taken up as the Phalanx Build if it can beat out Str, Tac, Disc. Precise Strikes / Attacks of Opportunity, Berserker’s Fury, Rending Strikes, and the Arms Grandmaster (would it be Burst Precision or the new Furious? I can see Furious for the Adrenaline Gain to max out for a full 3 bar synergy with Berserker’s Power in Strength.) would end up competing with All three of the Discipline Minors (Which have synergy with Strength and Tactics on their own), and the Discipline Grandmaster (Burst Mastery is probably the correct choice to keep up the Adrenaline to compete.)

It can’t be crunched right now, but just from the Weapon-swapping Versatile Power in Discipline will probably take the might-stacking crown away from what you suggested. What the damage between the two specs will come down to testing which I HOPE is in 2 weeks, but I could see it being the end of this month going into July.

Right… I have some other great suggestions. While we’re at it let’s make incendiary powder baseline on engi, persisting flames baseline on ele and terror baseline on necro.

Every class have silly treads like that.
Its another tread that will be declined by warriors.

No absolutely not.

These are just for the convenience of some people’s builds. People who don’t really want to invest deeply into Discipline beyond getting Fast Hands and Warrior Sprint. Two very good traits.
If these could just be baseline they can skip this traitline entirely, but still get the main attraction from it.

Cleansing Ire they want to be a minor trait because now Warriors have to choose! Cleansing Ire or Last Stand (which also has the 25% stance duration worked in) as these traits compete for the same Master slot.
And they simply want both, they don’t want to make that choice.

This has nothing to do with balance, neither are these buffs justified. It’s just some people who are trying to get their ideal build going, and they just can’t make it happen as it currently stands.

That’s actually not it. The Warrior Sprint suggestions have been dismissed by most of the warriors on the threads, practically no one has supported making CI baseline but there has been some acceptance of moving the adren on hit component baseline and/or rearranging the trait line a bit, and the Fast Hands as baseline has had the most support of them all.

Once the new trait system is in, it seems generally accepted that warriors will sink 1/3 traits into Discipline like they sink at least 3 points into Discipline now. Given that all meta builds for a long time (certainly in competitive arenas) trait FH anyway, there’d be no power creep from the trait itself if made baseline (because everyone already runs it), but it should open up more build diversity.

If the freedom to not choose Discipline leads to any unbalanced OP warrior builds, they could be addressed directly through changes that address those builds instead of the class as a whole.
