Guild Wars 2

Basic thought:
For stances that makes you immune to damage, reduces your output dmg by 50%, and for stances that increase dmg, increase the dmg that enemy do to you.

Reason:
Well, if you put all the effort on attacking (the stance that gives more dmg) you cant have same defense, so extra attacking force must come at a price of defense. Similar to defensive stances. And if stances are to stay, as they are, than giving them that downside would rise the skill cap of warriors and they would have to care more when to use them. Plus, this would give other spells/builds a chance to compete with (in my opinion) atm “op” stances.
Before the stance buff, i ran a dps-shout support build and at that time i did quite good (in tourneys), when everyone were saying how bad wars were. Now, there is no point in pvp to run anything other than stances, beeing tank, power dps or condi dps. And, in my opinion, because of stances and passive highest armour/health the warriors have chance to be jack of all trades, master of all.

Any other thoughts?

Necros can’t stack spectral skills, warriors can stack stances.

what stance are you talking about that makes you do more damage? You mean Frenzy where you attack faster? That skill already increases incoming damage taken. Have you used stances on warrior before? No idea what you are trying to say. You think 4 seconds of invulnerability is what makes warriors strong?

Yes i know that stance to attack faster already has increased dmg to user … was just speaking more generaly. Thats why i didnt say any spell name. And usualy if ppl use stances .. they also trait stances + some last also 8 sec + add the traits to increase durration…)

Warriors are balanced now IMHO. The nerf to LB, impale, Hammer and HS were perfect.
