Guild Wars 2

What annoys me the most is that most of these new skills are created with the zerg in mind. Or am I getting paraniod here.

I’ve been saying this for the last year, ANET wants you to zerg. All the MMO companies do… it is working as intended. Every game that comes out has zergs, a small niche of people cry & complain about it, game company does nothing. Rinse and repeat… game after game, the last 13 years.

If that tooltip’s correct I don’t see a reason why it would be op. I think healing signet will always be way better and btw I tested and you barely get hit by more than 15 attacks in 3 seconds in WvW or zerg v zerg. The max I could get was by stupidly triggering a wall of marks and was only 10 hits / sec. Can’t imagine it being even viable tbh.

Now realize that the numbers given are for a level 1 with 0 healing power.

Yeah…

Excalibur.9748:

it’s hard to beat healing signet but this could be it guys! a heal that’s stronger than healing signet.

wait what, a wvw thief complaining about wvw warrior? how cute.

I don’t see the problem.
Just stop hitting him, it’s pretty kittening simple. There will only be a problem if the skill is telegraphed badly.
Oh and zerg-fights have never been anything but people spamming their skill while lagging, surely such a heal won’t make zerg-fights more unbalanced than they already are.

Rozbuska.5263:

This will make Warrior far superior in zerg fights. With all that damage, survability and utility whar it already have is no point start queueing with another class into Borderlands.. Now we know why they will make WXP account bound.

Warriors Vs Warriors Vs Warrios

Look at the WvW loading screen what do you see… I tried to find any other class in there. It’s always been part of the plan.

I think it’s the warbanner concept art…

Haralin.1473:

The balancing is totally broken in this game.

Engis get nerfed in every patch and Warriors buffed all time.

Imo it is cause it is the most played class so anet need to make money and classes which are less played get no love like engis.

I am glad my warrior is now 80 so i can switch to easy mode.

this… i got so frustrated with my mes in wvw, because after the glamour nerf we got no new aoe and we are light armor. commanders keeps asking for mes for portals and veil, but sometimes we cant even find 1.
wvw is hurting bad because of terrible class balance. rangers and mes have very little to contribute in a zerg compared to other classes. warriors rule and everything else is support for warriors.
veilbot is not fun at all! and if anet wants to keep making money then then yes they will need to bring balance back.

UnrepentantProcrastinator.7420:

I really need to finish levelling my Warrior.

Considering your name and your post… That’s funny!

i play hard mode thief w/o stealth. i don’t think a clicker like you would understand.

My thief still won’t have any problems with warriors. As a thief, our class has no right to complain about wvw.

If you look carefully, you can see one heavy at the background who is holding a staff, so there is at least one guardian. Then you can see the ele firestorm going on, so there has to be an ele or two. Conclusion: WvW working as intented.

What change in GW2 over the last several months HASN’T promoted zerg activity?? Even in PvE, just about everything that passes for new content rewards, or even requires, large team behavior.

Fluffball.8307:

Oh man, I didn’t think about that in a zerg context. There HAS to be a damage cap, surely Anet wouldn’t be so shortsighted as to give a zerg of 20, 30 warriors 30k heals.

LOL. Because ANet has so thoroughly thought out the effects of other recent changes before implementing them?

Isn’t every class getting a new healing skill?

It would be OP if it was immune to conditions.

Steel and heals. Everything else is fluff!

Gotta love Warriors!

The new Warrior heal works with~

Defense III: Sure-Footed – Increases stance durations.
Discipline V: Vigorous Focus – Gain vigor when using a Stance.

That puts both supporting traits very low in their respective lines. You can max out the effectiveness of the new heal and still have a ton of points left over to fill out your concept/spec.

Dang, saw the title of this thread and was hopeful of a real buff coming so I can finally kill those annoying mesmers, but it’s just a cry thief who probably hasn’t figured the stealth thing out yet.

He called it “hard mode”. Next stage will be “ultrahard mode” – naked and in 0-0-0-0-0 build, with lvl 1 daggers. With such build you automatically get a privilege to QQ without restrictions and claim everyone and everything as mega-OP.

Sorry but warriors dont need any buffs, and the new heal with traits is a buff if you dont see it you have whirl to much.

As a thief, I find a thief complaining about warriors to be quite humorous.

i think everybody will try it but change back after a day.

I honestly don’t see many people actually taking it over healing signet.

Warrior never had any trouble dealing with burst-damage (which is what this heal counters). The problem warriors have always faced is sustain (which healing signet covers pretty well), and this new heal looks useless for sustain.

Remember the hysteria when they introduced Destruction of the Empowered for warriors, about how it was gonna be stupidly OP? Yeah, nobody uses that either.
