Guild Wars 2

I really wanted to play my warrior again as my main. Back to Ranger!

Also didn’t help matchmaking kept putting me against legendary players vs new players almost every match.

I mean I had fun with trying out my warrior again. But doesn’t seem viable atm.

warrior stil trash.
Rev too strong
Druid too strong
Scrapper too strong
necro too strong

You get the gist.

ANet apparently doesn’t…

Most people haven’t played unranked for so long. MMR decay put almost everyone in the same bucket now.

Warrior Buff is a Lie

its actually a Nerf

Update.

1 win 20+ losses

I’m pretty sure MMR does not exist. I keep fighting the same legendary players over and over again.

Even at my worst in Leagues was 3 wins per 10 losses…

What’s the most common cause of your deaths?

Step 1: New build

Step 2: New playstyle

Step 3: Bring friends

As for me, using a tweaked post patch build from Season 1, playing the same playstyle, and not running any friends. Took a screenie for you.

XD

What’s the most common cause of your deaths?

Scrapper, Occasionally Necro. Most of the time getting singled out right away in team fights. (basically any opponent with sustained stability as I’m running Hammer/Rifle)

99% of the time the team I get is all over the place. Either triple capping. Not stomping. Fighting off point. etc. Basically all the stuff you see in amber.

ie. I had a engie once run from mid to home. Ignoring the 1 v 2 at home which he could’ve assisted, then running the long way around to far.

I rarely see the other team make such catastrophic plays.

The pattern I see in matches, is that it’s fairly close to around 150 points. Then everybody forgets how to play.

does MMR even work in unranked?

I think so. When I queue with guildmates who are new, matches tend to be easy

Alright, if it’s Scrapper and Reaper then I can’t help haha. I usually only snipe the Reaper and avoid any fight that has a good Scrapper on my warrior. They are both the top class at the moment.

The berserker heal resets your berserk ability, if you wanted to try cheese. To test and prove, grab rifle. Auto something, precision signet, berserk, gunflame, heal, gunflame (or use something to gain adrenaline, but I am always capped. struggles). I pulled off two quickness 12k gunflames and scared people mid. My build is mega glassy, but it is funny to do that kinda stuff and make em cry.

And once targeted 1..2..3…….. dead

Warrior damage despite being in a good place is average compared to any other class with a damage spec amulet.

Any other class has more abilities and stronger abilities to negate damage and sustain in PVP.

Warrior has endure pain and not significantly more HP than other classes because every other amulet also provides Vitality.

Endure pain for 4 secs with a 60 sec CD is not enough damage mitigation to be viable when every other class has mechanics that are better than endure pain in multitudes and can hit just as hard as you and in most cases have free damage because its easy to land their attacks compared to warrior attacks..

I did tell you :P. I’m gonna look into making it duelist oriented (minus the mercenary one that uses this bug) but I thought it worth mentioning.

Update

I’m now around 1 win/1 loss with my warrior today. Swapped 2 ability’s seemed to help. I would’be stopped playing my warrior, but gun flame it too addicting…

Stun lock, stun lock, stun lock, Gun Flame! Which is a nice change from my trapper run Ranger.

Annnnnddd back to 0/10 games… matchmaking makes no sense at all.

Gunflaming into a stun lock is a waste of a stun, since the daze from gunflame breaks the stun.

There’s better ways to take a berserker gunflame into pvp than full dps.

1. New class
→ fixed it for you

No offense but we don’t have any information about your mmr,about your opponents etc.
I doubt that this guy faces better opponents than you do… but for those people who do, these builds will basically lead in a 4v5 just like every other warrior build atm.

If I win and they lose, that’s all that matters.

If something goes wrong with that formula, review the problem, make appropriate changes. Which yes, might include a class change.

The drama packed behind the whole “basically 4v5” bit is hilarious.

Then I really don’t know which kind of players you face in your games but watching your screens allows me to take a guess…
Last season I won with randoms serveral times against well known premades, simply because of the fact one of them had to run warrior just for fun.

I’ve come to the conclusion that matchmaking is incredibly broken at 4 am, despite being having a populated lobby.

I wish I had a gold every time somebody 3 or even 4 cap home at the start.

Seems like the more I improve playing warrior, I get even dumbfounded teammates.

Reading the patch notes were it partially based on the number of games played (which is 600 unranked) leaves me speechless.
