Guild Wars 2

The two prevalent warrior builds in “meta-history” have been hambow and as of late shoutbow.

Both of these builds have something in common.

The rotation with your weapon sets is STUPID EASY.

Can we get a warrior build that doesn’t make you feel brain-dead please?

choucs.4507:

rotation is not everything, both builds are easy to pick up, hard to master

Also warrior’s fun factor has always been determined by the enemy skill level.
because warrior itself doesnt have any cool trick, only reacting to enemy cool tricks make warrior fun.

I can’t even emphasize this enough.

The thing about warriors is that while facing them they do in fact have a lot of power right out there, you know exactly what every warrior will be like essentially at any skill level.

Playing the Warrior is a different story, you are given a set of powerful skills, and you have to somehow make them work against just about anything. And there are times where there is feasibly no way you can work around it. That’s why there’s a huge disconnect with the community sadly enough.

With the livestream a bit ago talking about how ‘Physical Skills effectiveness is affected by endurance’ we might start seeing an actual change in how Warriors play, in terms of depth and tricks.

I am hopeful.

warriors are fine.

the problem lies with your opponents.

try facing against good opponents in their good team.

It depends the point of view of the player. Sometimes i do run a modded version of the old 100b build. Positive point is that i have huge damage and several sources of spikes, negative is that i have exactly 0 defense..

Everytime my bull’s charge or mace kd does hit the opponent, but meta builds have so many evades/block/stabilitys that the opponent always have the panic button to evade from the spike.

What i mean is that we could argue about a lot of things in the actual meta that aren’t requiring any form of skill, but that’s part of the game you gotta accept that some builds are easy, some others are harder( although sometimes not rewarding enough..)

Warrior would require skill if they played a Zerker build. But zerk warr has crap CC skills compared to engineer Insta cast 4 secs+ CCs like overcharged shot and slick shoes.

They either need to nerf engineer CC or buff warrior CCs to make them insta cast. It would make zerk warr stronger and wont buff shoutbow since they have no CC anyway outside of fear me which is already insta cast.

Warrior was specifically designed to be easy to play so no. If people want a high complexity high difficulty character to play they can roll mesmer.

As per the official blog post “mesmer was meant to be a high skill ceiling class in Gw1, we are trying to return to that.”

Define skill? And please, do not list it as needing to button mash faster. Which most of these request end up being.

If any build needs to be looked at next, it’s pew pew Rangers. Being able to camp LB from an advantage point most of the match shouldn’t be a thing. At least Warriors are getting on point.

Easy to play? Okay try to land 1/2 second casting time through evades then, then call it easy. Don’t know why have an opinion when its just unintelligent and ignorant much like the guy stating his low IQ.

Just because “Mesmer” isn’t effective atm, that doesn’t mean Warrior is braindead easy as a whole.

@OP

Once again, try landing 1/2 casting time stuns through evades or stun lock DPS people by baiting cool downs by yourself on zerker Warrior. The build is Axe/Hammer or Axe/Mace Mace/Shield with Frenzy. You’ll come crying back to your instant cast fear > immob > well combo 1 spam Necro, I guarantee it.

Warrior is easy to play in comparison to a few classes. Hitting people with skullcrack isn’t hard. And if someone is spamming evades hitting them with instacast CC is in the same boat as instacast one.
