Guild Wars 2

We have officially shifted from Conditon meta to Warriors Meta, they are everywhere nowadays. They are basically Guardians with Thief’s damage and mobility.

This is not a QQs post just wondering if anyone figures out away to counter Warriors yet? I’m considering a Burst Phantasm Mesmer or a Retal Guardian, are those good counters?

Poison up-time, they are regen based if they use healing signet so if you keep poison on them with decent sustained damage gg.

Thank god any decent mesmer can beat their ass=meamer back in meta?

That’s not what “Meta” means.

Pin Down, Throw Balas. 10 seconds of immobilize, switch and wack with sword.

A non-mobile Mesmer is a dead one.

I swear ArenaNet wants to kill Mesmers like they did Elementalists.

At least warriors are varied in terms of builds and play styles – unlike classes like Necros and other classes who are just clones of each other. Every Necro, Guardian, Mesmer, etc is the same in every match. This goes with many classes other than warriors.

With warriors, you never know how they’re going to play until you actually see them in action. They could be condition damage-heavy. They can be bursty. They can be stunlockers. Or tanky sustained damagers. They can be team support-heavy with shouts and banners.

Instead of complaining about warriors, shouldn’t this be the golden standard that all other classes should be brought up to, in terms of variability?

Actually, necros have power, condition and minion specs, as well as bunker specs sometimes. All of which work.

Wanna know what all warrior builds have in common? Cleansing ire, healsig

Don’t talk about mesmers or ill get mad we are getting there now people choose trqits differently people choose 2 different traits in domination like 4 in the second one and 3 in the last one but we can’t change the numbers of points we put into a traitline because shatter has to have those

that´s why we need a different trait system if we ever want to see diversity/balance

the current system pigeonholes every class, they need to determine the role you want to play first and then give you specific trait choices, this way you dont affect different build types of the same class.

Ostricheggs played yesterday 5 warrior tpvp matches. Was fun to watch. 13k hits included.

Funny when you talk about build diversity nobody mentions thief and thier 2 builds they can choose from, 1 being stronger than the other. Mesmers have it bad? Just ask any thief who doesn’t play s/d.

i play dodgy troll thief with stun breakers vs wars :s

Things I have accidentally found to work: Power ranger, ele with high chill up time, condi thief.

Things that should theoretically work: DPS guardian, Mesmer

This is only because they are so strong that it doesn’t really matter what they play. Most classes can compete against warriors only if they run their most powerful spec.

Mesmer Meta incoming, you know, seeing as how they prey on warriors like a falcon does a rabbit lol, then we’ll probably shift to an AoE meta, which will then get countered by a direct damage burst meta, which will get countered by condi meta again…

Thieves have 3 cruuk caeds or jumper build Cruuk can play mid role too not only far and dont forget condi bruh
