Guild Wars 2

Warrior
We’ve taken a look at the warrior’s baseline abilities, adjusting cooldowns, damage, and in some cases even functionality. Our goal for this iteration is to give you a bit more to play with in a single weapon set so that the cooldowns feel more active and fun to play around with. Rifle has also seen a bit of a rework, gaining a more defensive nature while retaining its overall purpose of kill-shotting every enemy of Tyria. We’ll also be taking another pass at improving the berserker elite specialization, focusing on increasing its usability in various game modes and promoting more active skill use in trait design. Lastly, we’ll improve the warrior’s ability to sustain themselves in combat

Does this mean that warrior skills generally and overally will have reduced cd time on most of skills or equivalent way to let us play with one weapon set longggggger, which means they want to rather reduces the need of fast-hand trait? (which is 100% opposite way to what people asked to have fasthand baseline)

Does it mean dev want warrior more passively play with one weapon set longer rather than being away from more actively play by using 3 weapon swap that everybody wanted in warrior forum..??

Easier mode approved…
(I actually rather wanted cs:go mode where you can swap many guns)

the ability to swap both mainhand and offhand weapons on the fly would be very, very nice as well.

I think they’re changing skills entirely. The rifle knock was meh at best, leaving you with a DPS cannon and only one lack luster way to defend yourself.

When I heard of this new rifle change I instantly thought of my own post:

Oh please, please be true!
‘Rifle has also seen a bit of a rework, gaining a more defensive nature…’ A shotgun is more of a defensive weapon. By the six be this true!

It’s their way of not saying anything with many words:
TLDR: “There may be some things wrong with warrior that needs adjustment and it may be related to survivability, so we may adress this, but then again, we’re not sure how, and we really can’t see the point in telling you anything, so we’ll just write some text and let you guess.”
