Id like to share my frustration before this patch with the builds before. For maybe a week i changed my warrior build from hambow to gs shield and axe. I ran a 4-6-2-0-2 build and i ran rune of the pack with the cele ammy. heres my frustration before.
I would be fighting a thief or mesmer for a point and im 90% dps and there some goofy condi bunker build. We would be fighting and then i would catch them with a shield bash switch weapons for the crit and go for a big hit. Or use the gs to slow them siwtch weapons and eviscerate. I have out played them by timing my dodges better catching them with a stun and laying down my biggest punch. I would take this mesmer down to 5-10% of there life. The would then use some escape ability run away for 10 sec heal and come back. I now have all my utility skills resetting they come back kill me in 15 – 25 sec.
Today and yesterday guess what if im using a zerk build and your using a vit condi build. Its about you avoiding my big hit and you constantly applying condi. If your zerk and im zerk its about who timed there dodge/stun breaker/heal better and landed the 2-3 big hits in a row. People who say there is no bunker builds obviously arent trying hard and for the first time in a long time cele is for a certain type of class instead of for every class.
I like this patch most cause seeing everyone on the forum squirm simply because they dont have meta battle site to tell them what build to use to be better then other builds for no reason. To me this have been the most diverse and realistic pvp has been ever.
