Guild Wars 2

Why are we so abundantly oppressed?

Why cant we just play on par with the other boys and girls?

Why cant we just get some of that TLC weve been asking for these past few months?

Ill tell you why, cause no love for the warrior

This is cristoff jericho and all of you already know im recruiting an all warrior guild and team here to fight this oppression by kicking our way to the top
Join the cause and fight this threat, otherwise we may lose this class in spvp forever

Bro, banners. New FOTM meta.

Bannerway.
Take a team of 5 Warriors.
3 of them run 4 banners.
1 of them runes 3 banners + kick.
1 of them runs Kick, Rampage, Frenzy and Fear me. His role is to kick people into your banner range.

Then throw an Ele in there for good luck.

My team will not accept any rock throwing dress wearers

HAIL THE WARRIOR, NO LOVE FOR THE WARRIOR

banner bonuses don’t stack, right?

Who cares, anyone who stacks flags deserves to lose thats not how WARRRRIORS play

You have to cover the whole map in banners.
So there is no escape.

Gotta pull off the training wheels before they can ride with the big boys.

Gotta fix the class around that ‘redonculous haste’ crutch, with Anets slow/silly balancing techniques it is going to suck worse than ever for a time, you know instead of throwing all the major haste balancing in one patch, but yeah ideally this will turn the game into something better in the end.

Not anymore now that they buffed kick to give it a slight lunge.

Gonna take some time to fix the class over that haste crutch, with Anets slow balancing it is going to suck balls for a bit of time, but ideally it will turn into something far better in the end.

Theres no potential for it to turn into anything better the way warriors are, we cant bunker because shout heals take away from stability and without shout heals/condi remove we die, we cant support cause we only give off a few boons at a time with huge CD on banners, we cant burst anymore cause of the frenzy nerf and what are we supposed to do?

Were supposed to be MEN

NO LOVE FOR THE WARRIOR JOIN THE SHOUTING MEN

You seem to think what i said is ‘warriors are in a better place now’.
I think you should reread the post

It is an MMO, incase that is what you forgot, everything you listed can be rebalanced, seemingly, with a few numeric/placement tweaks.

Weve been needing those tweaks for months, but look what we got instead?

NO
LOVE

THE
WARRIOR

Do you really feel that warriors are alone in that sentiment?

Other classes have viable builds.

That is all.

Larynx.2453:

That is all.

Yes.

It sucks.

The point was though that, there is oodles of other balancing still needed and has been called for for months on end. That doesn’t mean this fix wasn’t in the right direction though (if seemingly half done so in the immediate take, much worse off).

Just hope the class keeps the devs attention, I mean if you want to do something, draw attention to general problems with other warrior builds and pray that these issues get worked out in weeks instead of months.

Every single class has imbalances. Warriors are the only class that just flat out doesn’t have a viable build.

ArenaNet is completely incompetent on how to balance this game and manage the PvP side. Their philosophy of taking the slow and steady approach to balance by taking months to even nudge a class in the right direction is terrible.

It’ll probably take 2 or 3 months before ArenaNet even talks about addressing the issues created with this patch at their rate. No other classes share this “sentiment” to the degree warriors do.

Campaign to reduce frenzy debuff to 25%.

Frenzy debuff should get looked at obviously reducing haste to 50%
AND increasing duration is a mega-Nerf
Same with thief Haste..

The only haste fairly nerfed was Timewarp really… everything else got doubled…
Maybe a fairer amount say 33.3% for Debuffs..

Warriors got their wish though taking frenzy off your bar makes you more defensible.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

Frenzy is a second more of double damage which is not cool. In a game where you cannot Cancel Frenzy like you could GW1 (time for a chain skill!).
Haste is fine.
