Guild Wars 2

Is it worth spending adrenaline with greatsword and the BP trait?

Yes I know you get 20% fury but that seems pretty worthless to me as I seem to crit everything all the time anyway.

You talking PvE? Then no, not until you are sure your burst skill will finish off whatever boss you are fighting. When fighting trash mobs, don’t use it at all probably.

Outside of PvE, GS burst is definitely worth using if the situation asks for it. And that situation is either finishing somebody off, or condi cleansing yourself with Cleansing Ire.

As far as I know the Berserker’s Power trait is still bugged and does not work with burst skills since september 2014. I will test momentarily to confirm it.

EDIT: Confirmed, still bugged. You lose the 15% damage modifier from having full adrenaline built up before the skill actually connects, resulting in the exact same damage as you would with 0 adrenaline.

I don’t know if that’s “bugged” or intended. The burst hits pretty hard.

Though that wasn’t the point I was asking anyway, but thanks. Guy above answered pretty much I think, though it’s always nice to have numerous opinions I felt this was the case anyway, just wanted to make sure.

The thing is that it didn’t use to work like that. So either it wasn’t intended before, or it isn’t intended now.

Personally, with the nerf to adrenaline gain in the first place, this ninja change seems totally misplaced and it should be reverted to what it used to be.

I would honestly rather have Berserkers Power be a 10% damage boost that is always on than this trashy 15% boost that is never fully on in short fights and doesn’t affect your burst skill.

Better yet. Give us a new minor grandmaster trait and combine the old one with berserkers power and make Berserkers Power = 15% damage boost when endurance is not full. This is a lot easier to control and doesn’t encourage PvE warriors to ignore their class mechanic.

Suggestion for the 5 point trait: Vulnerability duration increased by 20%. Would compliment warrior’s offensive support capabilities in PvE. An alternative would be moving Empowered Allies to this spot.

Speaking of Grandmaster minor trait on the power line, Anet really needs to make it 10% damage boost like all the other classes have. Why does a GRANDMASTER minor trait grant a measily 3% boost on the power line?
