Guild Wars 2

Could we simply get much needed changes to the core warrior already ? They have been mentioned countless times yet ignored by whoevers working on Warrior on Anet side.

1. Fast Hands Baseline

This has been brought up thousands of times already and its really a huge limitation for most warrior builds. Warriors already have the most telegraphed skills in the entire game, so let us at least have a 5 sec weapon swap for some flexibility.

Don’t get me wrong, Discipline is a great trait line. However, in pvp you’re simply forced into Discipline and Defense which limits the build variety significantly since you can only choose a single spec line for your build.

2. Cleansing Ire – Cleanse on Adrenaline Spent

This is also another major issue, when they bumped up CI to grandmaster on specialization patch, it was said skill functionality would be changed to “adrenaline spent” from “hit”. Then somehow they decided to keep it as is.

With the amount of blinds, blocks, evades, and attacks with evade frames given to all other classes, idk how current CI should be even considered OK. Warrior is the only class that doesn’t have condi clear on demand apart from Signet of Stamina. All our bursts except longbow is simply unreliable to proc CI.

- Short Berserker Note-

I don’t think berserker is terrible but it’s not great either. I think the main issue is core warrior being too restrictive on spec choices. You have to take Defense if you don’t want to get instagibbed, nothing is gonna change that. However, if we get fast hands baseline it would open up new choices for 2 Spec lines, instead of generic Defense + Discipline + X.

In short Warrior needs better ways to stay on target, now that every class has evasion/mobility, denying Warrior damage.

I was duelling a revenant using shiro. So much evade and Unrelenting Assault make no sense it hit hard, evade, last 2 sec and track on a 12 sec cooldown. It as no counter play.

They have 2 heals. It’s like having healing signet and if we had another heal while in berserk form. Balance in this game is currently a joke and they hope to go in league with stuff like that. I was trying to manage my dodge/block/invul almost perfectly and I just kept running out of option and took the full damage 5-8k dam eventually.

I don’t care some class to be a bit stronger but some stuff are completly crazy ATM.

Putting shield block on a 15 sec cooldown untraited wouldn’t be OP in the current meta. Hell reducing all our weapons/heals/utilities/traits cooldown by 15-20% wouldn’t be OP.
