Guild Wars 2

Whatever state everyone feels the class is in as a whole right now (good/bad/great/terrible) I feel that we can mostly agree that some individual skills are near worthless, and rarely, if ever, see any play.

The Warrior page on Meta Battle shows some rather interesting trends, a handful of skills that seem to be used in nearly every build, while others never see the light of day. Obviously MetaBattle is only a small part of the picture, but a telling one.

Offhand Axe
Axe 4, Dual Strike: Just underwhelming as is. Simply changing this to a 450 leap would add mobility and thus appeal to offhand axe.

Axe 5, Whirling Axe: A fun skill, but it’s just missing something. Making it destroy projectiles would really add some utility to offhand axe, and combined with a leap from 4 I suspect it would become a more appealing option.

Offhand Mace
Mace 4, Crushing Blow: As with Axe 4, changing this to a 450 leap would add mobility and appeal, and make a world of difference.

Mace 5, Tremor: Simply making the skill travel in a straight line, and much faster, would make it more appealing. Think Rev Hammer 2, Coalescence of Ruin.

Utility and Elite
Signet of Rage: The active is alright but not great, and the passive is weaksauce. All the other Warrior Elites change up how you play: Battle Standard makes you a Battlefield Rezzer, Headbutt can almost be spammed, and Rampage makes you go HAM on people. Meanwhile signet just sits there and sometimes gets popped for swiftness.

I propose that the Signet of Rage passive be reworked to generate 1 adrenaline per second at all times, and preventing adrenaline decay below 1 bar, out of combat. This would allow a Warrior to enter battle with a level 1 burst, and change up the playstyle. Compared to the other 3 elites, I highly doubt this would be overpowered.

Mending is the only untyped healing skill. Making it a physical so it can get the 20% reduction from “Peak Performance” is probably enough to make it more usable.

All Banners have a major problem, and that’s their immobile nature. I think the ability to summon the banner to you by pressing the skill a second time, would be a great way to vastly increase their usefulness.

Some of your suggestions i like. Others, not so much. I’ll only mention the ones i disagree with.

Signet of Rage
Both the passive and active on this skill are actually very good. the only problem with the skill is that is should really be an instant cast. In fact all signets on the warrior should be instant cast.

Banners
The problem with banners is not so much that they are immobile, as you can pick them up. It’s that there is really no REASON to pick them up. They do not have burst skills (even though arcing slice would make sense for them) and their weapon skills absolutely suck. They also have to be picked up to move them, which is silly. you should summon the banner to your hand, and the weapon skills should be effective.
