Guild Wars 2

When is something going to be done to balance these oh-so-OP Warriors in PvP?

I just ALT+F4 out of a game because I am fed up of these rediculously OP Warriors with their 1million yard AOE circle and endless snare, blind, bleeds, fire and mobility.

You have two simple choices in PvP when you counter this…

A) You stand there and lose the fight because they have 50k hp, take no damage, and 100% retalliation uptime. So you not only kill yourself trying to cut through their 50k hp, but then have to stand on this MASSIVE fire aoe that burns you. So you may as well just stand there, bend over and take it like a ….nevermind.

B) You run away and try capture something else. Oh wait nevermind you CAN’T run because they snare you, cripple you and follow you with endless greatsword rushes. So you’re forced back to option ‘A’.

Sigh….

O.O seems grossly exaggerated. They might be a LITTLE strong, but not that bad…

Also, GS? I fully expected this to be about shoutbow…

To OP can i ask what is the class/build your playing? so i can understand where your coming from a bit better

C) You kite him away from point and then juke around, come back to point and decap it.

I mean if a war is stupid enough to go chasing after someone for no reason, you can outsmart him easily.

I hate to tell you but GS-Warrior is by far not the best PvP-Build for Warrior and for sure not OP. If you have problems with that build or warrior in general you should calm down, analyze your battles realistic (without exaggerations) and adjust you playstyle.

Warrior in general is easy to play, which makes it a very strong profession in low tiers. Keep practicing, maybe play one yourself, and you’ll realize in time that they are not so dreadful, especially if you know what to dodge/avoid.

50k HP? I wanna know what voodoo magic these warriors are using to get that much HP, let alone do as much damage as you claim while having so much HP.

Also, what warrior is using GS/Bow? That is not a build I am familiar with, nor would it be as OP as you claim it is; Bow and GS don’t synergize well enough to be very OP

I’m not trying to be insulting OP, but it’s hard to take your point seriously when it’s filled with gross exaggeration.

You may get there with a full Sentinel ascended set, max points in the Vitality trait line, vitality food, 5 guard stacks and near the NPC commander in a WvW Borderland (don’t know his name in english). Someone should try that.

Not likely to happen in pvp though.

AFAIK, 32.5k is the highest you can get in tPvP, but that would be pretty much nothing but a sponge with no sustain.

Edit: I lied, I can get a warrior to 33,852.

The thing with GS/LB is that now it is quite common due to all the ROM fanboys who think they can utilise it as well as he does. But thing is you can kill it if you don’t waste skills and dodges and it is actually easier to kill than a meta shoutbow which is a pain to kill due to the massice sustain it gets from it’s shouts which GS/LB warrior doesn’t.

Shoutbow is a lot stronger overall than GS/LB. As a new player I’ve been winning more than 65% of my unranked queues with it, making sure I res teammates and fight where all the action is.

Shoutbow isint that OP its just super easy to play like turret engi. In 1v1 they seem to be OP because of the fire field that covers the entire PvP point.

If you do this in ranked, you should get a temp ban. Your alt + F4 cost anyone in your team or worse, your party, a lot of points.

The build actually isn’t that great against ranged opponents. Most of the dmg comes from weapon swaps and if they kite you, your pressure drops considerably. In a 1v1 at least, but a support build like this shouldn’t be 1v1ing very much.

Obviously people who use melee builds are gonna eat the damage if they are hit consistently by the conditions and Final Strike. Standing in the AoE also builds up adrenaline so people don’t seem to realize how it works and let the Warrior dictate to them.

Thats why I said its only strong on point cuz of the firefield. If it wasent for conquest this build wouldnt be good 1v1.

50k hp? maybe the OP means when they go into rampage.
