Guild Wars 2

Its still going to be the most powerful. Its still going to be the most widely used. The devs have made a decision, live with it and move on.

Err what game are you playing roaming wise most player are going condi bunker which is currently stronger than full zerker.

Condi bunker have little bit over 1k power so it’s not even close more powerful than berserker.

Your take the word ‘powerful’ a bit to literally within the context of the game mechanics. He said strong and I think this was intended to be read as effective or capable.

Um what does power have do with a tanky condition build? Condi build get there dps from condi damage not power. Going condi tank build is currently more effective and more rewarding than running a squishy direct damage build. The nerf to crit dmg just makes things worse.

The problem of Berserker dominance was never one of stats. It was one of game design.

When 90% of PvE damage is avoidable and instant-gibs, then it’s no surprise that players opt for the only edge that matters in such a scenario. And that’s damage.

In what scenario is zerker the most powerful? Zerker builds are niche roamers like thieves and for other players skilled enough to navigate WvW without getting ganked. PVT and condibunkers are much more meta sets in WvW than zerker.

Pretty much this. WvW players took a hit because of PVE balance. I personally think it shows how there needs to be at least some separation of design between PVE and WvW, as sPvP already gets it’s own balance. Important to note that zerker was not changed in sPvP, so the complaint is valid from a WvW perspective.

Stop crying over people crying over zerker ? If people dont like changes being made to the current system,are they not entitled to let anet hear this ? Your post is useless in all its uselessness,let people cry ,live with it and move on….

Exactly, but ArenaNet never sees the root problem. Instead it seems like they do a mind map and take everything that is just remotely related to the problem and nerf it while totally ignoring the root problem.

All hail the condition bunkers. If you can’t beat them, join them!

Watch the stream dude, this is a small part of a larger incoming solution. They know what they’re doing.

In terms of damage, berzerker is still fine.

Ranged berserker > condition bunker > powerbunker > rest
