Ross Biddle, the legend, the creator of valkserker, the one and only,the meta-shifter and slayer of chronomancers, proofed again how strong he is in pvp, how great he is in theorey crafting and how warrior has to be played. His genius ideas will change the meta again ! Be aware!

He defeated a chronomancer…. a random chronomancer….in an unranked match…. with warrior…. OMG!

you killed a random chrono with warrior in an unranked match – I think everyone is impressed now and agrees with you that warrior is the counter to chronomancer

Great job on that 3 v 2. Between this and your screen shot of a stomp against a single chrono, I think you’ve just about wiped away all my first hand experience playing as and playing against a chrono!

I mean, if a class ever loses a 1 v 1 under any circumstance, it must be balanced, right?

The logic in this thread is most definitely infallible. I think ANet could learn from this. Any time someone wants to critique class balance, just show a screen shot of the criticized class losing a 1 v 1. We can’t possibly argue against that!

While you can argue that chrono is currently too strong, that does not mean it does not have its counter. Look at the AG of last week and you will see how a team shut down the enemy chronomancer by bringing a DH.

I have not been playing the meta chrono for a long time, so I don’t know about matchup with a berserker. But it could very well be a counter (or at least a tough matchup).

So you killed the same person twice. Are you looking for a congrats? Is it your first two kills ever and are proud? Are you trying to make a point?

Ok, but no one is saying that. Sure, there may be some zerk builds out there that can generally win a 1 v 1 against a chrono, but that doesn’t mean kitten.

Chrono needs heavy nerfs not because it’s they can nearly guarantee a kill in any team fight with moa, drop solid dps from condis, survive like a bunker with evades/blocks, and rotate like a glass roamer with blink and portal.

Even if Chronos could never win a 1 v 1, they’d be strong just because of all the utility that they bring.

that warrior build does put a dent in the chrono meta build and so does other unpopular picks like s/d teef if you want to build to counter

He’s right if the other team has a mesmer you can be sure as crap that I’m going to assert dominance. Unless the enemy has a thief. I have a personal vendetta against all thieves >:D

Yea, just because you can win a duel against an OP spec doesn’t mean your build is suddenly strong in a Conquest match.

Stickers is a passionate guy, it’s in his blood

And while Stickers isnt wrong that I haven’t spent a lot of time dueling the 3-4 Torney Mesmers in this game, it’s also disengenious to assume they’re elevated beyond the level many other mesmers have reached who’ve never entered a Torny. That said, I can say that these mesmers experience working within a 5 man team comp, on comms, to succeed in a conquest game mode while playing other teams with a similar setup attempting to do the same thing does exceed my experience. I mean, I wish I could have 4 other guys there to prop me and my builds up all the time, but I don’t

If you look at the right hand defeat log, it seems the dragon hunter is more responsible for the mesmer defeat. They have been credited with dispatching the rev and mesmer. That display only lasts for a 10 seconds after a stomp/or cleave out. So it seems in image 2 all you have shown us is you stomping a mesmer clone as the drgaonhunter finished off the rev and chrono in a single go.

a good warrior with +20 sec resistance can shut down condi mesmer . even if not killed the mesmer will lose the point cap
i main memser (and thief) and i duel as warrior versus friend mesmer

I love how the basis of your argument is that, from a still frame, you can’t really tell what happened. Then from the exact same still frame you create a story about what happened (only in the light you want it to be told) XD

If I remember rightly, after defeating the chrono (its a hundred blades finish, not a stomp btw in the first image), I’d 2v1’d thier war/ele and the chrono had come back to point to which I was waiting solo. The guard did come in and tbh I can’t recall what he was doing in the grand scheme. The Chrono had kited around, avoiding direct engagement, then jumped on the point. At which point I pressured with some heavy CC/burst youknowthedrill countering whatever blocks/blaa/blaa etc and the rest is history.

Oh and I’ve been using the Valkserker build setup but changed over to the Demolisher ammy currently.

Anyway, fun thread XD

Your valkserker build seems to be a very specialized anti-mesmer build can’t deny that I had fun.

It was designed in S1 during the bunker meta to be a bunker buster. With the new regen and sustain on war you can forgo the extra HP from valk for a harder hitting ammy. I like to run double might Sig, especially with the changes to rifle.
