Guild Wars 2

Hi

Today i got to test my PvE Burn Warrior in the PvE Raid.
And i was surprised!

I got over up to 12k Burn Dmg per second and 3-4k Bleeding.
And this with half cele half rabid gear and not much vun on the enemy.
I think i had around 2600 condition dmg infight.
This is 750 to1000 less with real gear.

BUT there is a problem….
It only works in melee range.

If you have to go range you lose alot of dps.
Mostly because you need Arms/Discipline/Berserker
And the Longbow Traits that gives the very usefull burn on AA is in Tactics……

Could we change this? This would solve this range problem a bit.

I love this new Warrior Burn Build!
Pls put the Longbow Trait in Discipline

I’d also like to see the longbow trait in a more accessible location. I think arms or discipline would both be fine.

There is a lack of focus throughout the warrior trait lines which leads to anti-synergy. Tactics is the group utility line – why does it have a condition weapon trait in it? For shoutbow builds? Then why does it compete with a shout trait?

They could just make burning arrows the standard form of longbow autoattack, I’m pretty sure that both combustive shot and fan of fire lost burning damage when they changed it.

Just wondering, with 2600 condi dmg, you would need like 12-13 stacks of burning for a 12k damage tick. How did you achieve that?

Fan of fire up close, torch 4 and 5, Berserker sword burst and longbow burst.
I was runing with 100% burn duration with food and runes of balthazar. You can maintain 6 stacks of burn with longbow AA if traited (2 stacks of burn for 2 s). Pity that GM Tatics give noting for condi build while Arms GM give… Change banner trait with longbow trait.

My rotation was:
(we assume we have full adri)
Fan of Fire → F1 → weaponswap → Torch 4+5 →Sigil or Heal for Max Adri→ Berserker Mode → Spam Sword F1 and Torch 4 if ready until Berserker Mode is over → waepon swap →F1 bow → Fan of Fire

I dont had much time to test a better rotation but you have to wait a few seconds before you can repeat it (only because of bers mode cd)

They could also just switch the banner trait in discipline with the longbow one.

I took some more time looking at it and came up with this rotation as well. I never knew longbow burning actually lasts so long (the F1).

From someone who kind of hates condition specs in pvp/wvw, this does look strangely appealing for PvE.

Leading with Fan of Fire isn’t good. Pin Down, f1, swap is the better play, unless youre just roleplaying.
