Guild Wars 2

So, I don’t know if this has been nerfed or not, since I’ll been out of town for a couple of weeks, and im not sure if i really want it to be nerfed since I main thief, but thanks to the grandmaster trait ‘No Quarter’ as long as I occasionally crit, I get fury every 2 seconds or so (I might be wrong) and I get increased ferocity when I have fury on. Since this procs very frequently, the duration of the fury is longer than the cool down of the ability, allowing me to permanently boost it if I am always attacking. This makes it a very strong trait in pve, and to some extent in PvP/wvw. In WvW you could just kill a couple of trash mobs then you have perma fury.

I feel like this could introduce builds that build less into precision and maybe something else, so that berserkers might not be meta any longer.

What are your thoughts on this? I’m positive I’m going to be yelled at someone for telling them about the trait.

I am positive this trait isn’t game-breaking because unlike a lot of overpowered traits, this one isn’t really noticeable, and it is very easy to counter.

I have been having a lot of fun with No Quarter and actually have messing with builds that relies less on full zerk, and even a bit less ferocity too since i took the master trait that gives you some ferocity based on precision as well. The thing that does keep it from being OP is the 2 sec CD though so you’re not triggering it every crit, just like you’re not getting crits ever hit. But yeah, Unrelenting strikes, NQ, and thrill of the crime can keep fury up throughout fights pretty easily but you won’t be getting hour long fury’s unfortunately.

The trait originally increased the duration of a Fury stack by 2s, but ANet changed it to avoid what you describe. Now it gives you a new 2s stack of Fury.

And since Fury has a cap on the number of stacks you can have, like every boon/condition/other you’ll not get 1h of fury (unless the cap is at 1800 stacks which it probably isn’t)

This is why we can’t have nice things.

spec for less crit? kitten that after i saw the crit strikes tree i went half assassins half zerk from full zerk.

with fury and full wvw + food buffs im at 95% crit, 3k power, 242% crit dmg. the dps is insane.
