Guild Wars 2

So I’ve seen the “butcher with dagger” theory and actually something like that might happen.

Backbreaker was a W/A build (warrior main profession assassin secondary) for PvP in GW1. You stunned your enemy with Hammer’s Backbreaker and then switched to your dual dagger set and 100-0’d your enemy while CC’d. This concept fits both GW2’s combat of having 2 weapon sets and warrior’s short CD weapon swaps. It would be pretty cool I think :P

Build for reference: http://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/Build:W/A_BB_Dagger_Warrior

BBway started off as assassin/warrior as warrior didnt have the energy to pull the full chain off. Then backbreaker got nerfed then people ran full radiant with +5e daggers.

I know. How is that relevant to the discussion?

I know what you’re trying to say, stun and then burst.

The problem is, I don’t think ANET wants Warrior to have access to stun and burst at the same time. They nerfed Frenzy and nerfed Hambow pretty much. They want Warrior to just be a sustained fighter, but being a sustained fighter in design is boring.

Mace F1 got nerfed so it’s hard to land now, no one really used Skull Crack over Earthshaker anyways but it got nerfed regardless. Frenzy nerf kinda doesn’t allow Warrior to 100-0 people from stun.

Warrior probably won’t get more damage and 100-0 potential because of zerk stance though.

And even when Skull Crack and 100-0 wasn’t nerfed to the ground, it was kind of an L2P issue to dodge it anyways. There’s like so many stun breaks and ways to not get caught in the first place it’s not even funny.

^ true, sadly. You given up on zerk builds yet then?

Also to OP: What would a dagger do that axe doesn’t right now?

Not really, never will I suppose. But at the same time it’s just too aggravating to play and that easy builds are still effective for no effort.
