Guild Wars 2

The concept behind the new version of Berserker Stance is exactly what the warrior class needs to stay on target. When combined with stability the warrior becomes basically unkiteable, you can’t CC them and you can’t slow them with cripple, chill, or immobilize. You also can’t blind them which is the main draw of this skill.

The Stance needs to either have increased duration (preferred), or a reduced cooldown. It also needs to remove the conditions you are currently affected by.

i might be the only one who misses the original berserkers stance. this latest patch brought a lot of new changes that for the most part i really like.

but being able to lay down massive fire fields almost effortlessly in small man groups in WvW was incredibly nice. now i have to be a lot more discriminatory about my gift of flame.

all in all though i feel like i got a lot more then i lost.

SoR passive + burst mastery + 30 points in disc. (+ berseker’s might potentially) can pretty much let you do this every 7 secs, its still very possible imo especially with 5 strikes of adrenaline on weapon swap.

They need to make Sure Footed increase the stance duration by 50% or reduce the cd of stances as well as the current 25% duration increase, it just isn’t attractive as it is.

even if the sure footed trait simply reduced cooldowns by 20% instead of a 25% bonus it’d be an improvement I think… especially considering:

1) there are some stances you don’t want to last longer (yes, I’m looking at you frenzy).
2) it doesn’t effect balanced stance (unless they changed this in the last patch, not sure as I haven’t even looked at this trait in ages).

That would be a nice change, because yah no one wants frenzy to last as long as it does and currently it hardly manages to get you more than a second more, not exactly overwhelming.
