Guild Wars 2

I’ve com back and played some solo’s with my favourite class, warrior (don’t worry, when i play with it i always ask for forgiveness from the rest of the team).

In the first tourny, i waited a lot more for the tourney than i remember, maybe 5 or 6 minutes. My team got destroyed, hard, by a premade with 2 necros, i couldnt do anything more than die from massive condi aoe’s. One of the players from the enemy team even said sorry for this game.
I respecced into a lot more condi cleansing, hoping to overcome the condi’s, but the next tourny, guess what, 2 necros again, this time i survived a bit more, and we lost too by a great margin.
Finally i played one last tourny against, yeah, 2 necros and a engy, nice.

I’ve never felt this useless with my warrior.
Can u show me any warrior builds that works with this new extreme condi meta ? And please, not a condi warrior build xD. Thanks in advance.

By the way, matchmaking system seems to be broken, maybe i got bad luck, it’s just 3 tournies.

Blame ANet for adding a new condition to the game only for the Necro first. It’s made Necro FotM and are now seeing a lot more use.

What you are saying, however, is the potential of the Necro long before last patch. Necro’s just never saw a lot of use (if any) in tournaments because they are horrible for tournaments. But, a pair of Necro’s mean that one person should not be able to cleanse all the conditions alone. If you’re suggesting that a Warrior should be able to cleanse all the conditions from 2 Necro’s then you need to learn how balancing works.

I think your case was that the other team was a lot more coordinated – a premade. You can also blame ANet for horrible matchmaking.

I wouldn’t make a build solely around condition removal. Just have some and join a team that you can coordinate with to help remove conditions (also because coordinating is key for everything.)

You should play a lot more tournament games until the system figures out where your skill level is. You need about 20 tournament games to start getting proper matches. Once you’re at your skill level, you’ll win 50% of the time.

Note that 50% win doesn’t mean winning every other game, it means you have a 50% chance of winning: You might lose 2 then win 3 in a row then lose 1, etc.

Also, if you want to help your team out, consider the usual 100b build but take berserker’s stance instead of endure pain and focus the necros. Necros have very limited access to stability and are easy targets. To do the big condition damage they are complete glass cannons.

Also, don’t be the first one in the fight. Find your target, then engage + spike. I’ve been seeing a lot of warriors running mace + shield as offhand weapon for the 3 second stun. You can get a full 100b off during that stun. The daze on mace is nice too since necro has very long cast times.

The thing, is prepatch, that was my skill level. I solo play, mostly, it’s not that i have not played enough, so the system doesn’t know where i belong, i’m rank 38, be sure, i played enough.
And it’s not that i don’t know the basics, in every tourny i focused the necro, it’s just that i couldn’t cleanse my condis fast enough to do much.

Mesmers and thieves also got Torment. The problem is torment+burning+fear+10-12 bleed.

If you take away fear dmg or buring or bleedings, nec is balanced.
