Guild Wars 2

First of all I know the topic of buffing wars has been brought up multiple times and that some of you think that nothing will ever change. Too bad! I still want to add a few of my own ideas to all the ones floating around in this forums. Now, I haven’t played warrior long, so my ideas may not be the best and it won’t cover everything warrior has since I don’t have a deep knowledge on all weapons, but here are somethings I feel would help.

Greatsword
GS#2: Base range increased by 50, number of targets increased to 5, cast time decreased to 3 seconds, gains protection for skill duration.

GS#3: Range increased to 500, hits spread out over the range (currently the hits only apply for what feels like half the range), targets hit are pulled with the attack.

GS#4: Throwing animation decreased to 1/2 a second, projectile tracks enemies and has animation sped up by about 30% (currently this is the only target locked projectile I know that can miss from someone walking away from it), targets hit by return strike are inflicted with vulnerability.

GS#5: The hit animation is sped up by around 30%

Stances
Defiant Stance: Breaks stun and has no cast time.

Beserker stance: Conditions already applied grant increased damage per condition (3%)

The Last Stand trait decreases stance cooldown by 20%

Greatsword is already by far the most widely used warrior weapon. And main reason for this is forceful greatsword trait, which is by far the best weapon related trait. So overpowered that it is limiting warrior build diversity.

I would recommend first looking at underused weapon combinations and traits. I really don’t want to turn warriors into GS or nothing profession.

GS is just really easy to fix weapon-wise, since it’s pretty much our only weapon that isn’t hamstrung by terrible traits.

Its just that I feel the base skills for GS could work much better. I’m just looking at the weapon alone, not the traits.

Here are some ideas for sword if you want

Sword
S#1: Hamstring cripple lasts 2s
S#3: Animation speed decreased to .5 seconds
S#5: Riposte animation speed decreased to 0.25 seconds, blocking a projectile causes the warrior to leap towards the attacker extremely quickly and preform the riposte (Shield master will still reflect the projectile)
