Guild Wars 2

So.. remember when we only knew necro’s would get a new skill in DS? We all said it was probably a new condition, but warriors would get it aswell, alot stronger than necros will? It happend.

I just logged on my warrior to check out some changes and i saw Impale… A sword OH skill. They changed the bleeding it gives to torment. It gives 5 stacks wit ha duration of 12 seconds… On a skill with 15 second cooldown. I tested some stuff, and got a little bit of condition duration. The results was shocking.

with 30% condition duration i managed to get 15,5 seconds of torment on a skill with 15 sec CD.

So warriors can now deal 5 stacks of perma torment. I love Anets balancing! Said noone ever

in the calcularor it says x2 stacks 5 seconds 15 cooldown…

Aren’t warriors considered one of the weakest classes in the game in pvp? And aren’t condi warriors even bad at pvp by warrior standards? I mean if both of those are true, then why is it important if they got buffs or not?

It is 2 stacks on the initial impale then it goes up in stacks capping at 5 then decreases the same way back down to 2 stacks and then goes away.

I have a mesmer, thief, and warrior tbh the easiest application of torment is the necro. Thief has it on p/d skill but its 2 stacks that require you to be in melee range kind of meh.

Mesmer block is pretty good but pets can set it off and you miss the application.

the warrior one is pretty good but it is single target while the necro one is aoe then you can epi it. Warrior condi builds needed a new condition before it was just bleeds and burns if you ran bow with sword. Most people run builds now that can wipe 1 condition pretty easily.

Dont get me wrong but in my eyes condition warrior is as a healing thief… they are not supposed to exist XD

I really don’t think the Necro has anything to fear from condi Warriors. When they can apply Bleeding, Poison, Burning, Torment, Cripple, Chill, Blind, Immobilize, and Fear that deals damage all within a few seconds, then we might have to re-evaluate how big a deal it is for them to get slightly better single-target Torment than us if they run one specific off-hand weapon

This just shouldn’t be a thread.

obviously none of you have fought the new condi warrior… not only did they give them superior condi application of certain condis, but they also gave them the ability to become pretty much immune to most of your condi burst as a necro but also gave them more passive regen than a guardian has…
that being said this game isnt balanced for 1v1 or even in any way that I can see… so, dont worry about it. they will fix it eventually, too bad everyone will be gone by then….

I’ve turned my warrior into a condition warrior with rampagers armor and weapons and rabid accesories with rampager jewels. I’m using the rune of the mad king and I must say she does a lot of work. She’s no necromancer, but I can actually be focused it’s a nice feeling.

I do have to agree that necromancer’s torment is anemic in comparison, but they have access to it on every build they have with an entirely different set of conditions they can add to it

Dont get me wrong, changed Refuge did kitten up thief healers, but condi warriors are about as strong as condi eles (as in they melt single targets).
