Guild Wars 2

Warrior stances are a huge part of the warriors defensive tree, yet they are some of the weakest abilities the warrior has.

Lets start with the stances themselves.

Balanced Stance Stance
You gain stability.
Stability: 10 s
Breaks stun
Cooldown: 25s

Berserker Stance Stance
Immediately gain full adrenaline, the next 5 attacks are critical hits.
Adrenaline: 30
Your next five attacks are critical hits.
Cooldown: 25s

Endure Pain Stance
Cuts movement speed in half. Take 50% less damage for the duration.
Lose 1% Life every second when enduring pain, cannot exit combat until canceled.
Cannot be used with Frenzy.
(No Limit, but can be canceled early.)
Cooldown: 90s

Frenzy Stance
Frenzy to gain quickness. Take 50% more damage for the duration.
Lose 1% Life every second when frenzied, cannot exit combat until canceled.
Cannot be used with Endure Pain.
(No Limit, but can be canceled early.)
Cooldown: 90s

Traits Adept
Sure-Footed
Balanced stance grants 15 seconds of swiftness.
Stances recharge 20% faster.

Defy Pain Grandmaster
Some of the penalties of Endure Pain and Frenzy are reduced.
Movement speed is reduced to 25% from 50%.
Damage taken is reduced to 25% from 50%.

They are quite powerful, but they also come with powerful restrictions and can be canceled early if the warrior is recieving to much damage, this brings in a unique play-style to the defense tree.

Actually, it might be better to make all stances do something crazy, but with restrictions, like you can only use one of them.

I really need to work on this one.

Everything ok with u? No, i don’t joke. 90% threads out there in warrior section belongs to u. And im not sure whats that..nerf list?

Yeah no. I’m all for improving warrior but you realize you are giving perma prot+++ or perma frenzy with these changes. That’s just flagrantly overpowered.

Yep, those changes are pretty kitten OP, ESP the protection and frenzy changes.

Berserker stance needs a rework. Endure pain should just last full 5 second duration ( i think it’s 4 right now) and frenzy is fine. Balanced stance is the only one, where I would love to see: immune to snares, cripple and chill during the duration in addition to the current effects.

The problem is, you take 50% more damage, so even with perm quickness you go down really fast.

And with the Endure Pain, you can’t really hurt anyone because you move so slow.

Don’t mind reading ideas but why not consolidate them in one thread instead of making a new one every time? That’s literally 75% of the reason I’m even letting myself post in this one, to ask you to just make one thread on Warrior mitigation improvements.

To stay on topic: I wouldn’t mind an update to stances to either improve their overall effectiveness or to synergize better with traits (the whole 1 extra second for such-and-such stance trait is crap and the other passive stance traits are decent, but bugged in some cases).

I even like the idea of a more toggle-like stance mechanic, but 1% health per-second is not going to cut it. 1% of a 22,000 HP pool is 220 HP/second which can be covered by regen alone…if you have 18k HP, kitten Adrenal Health will dang near negate that. Not only is it kitten easy to bypass, but it penalizes you for slotting vitality as once you hit over 30kHP, it becomes harder for plain regen to negate, resulting in eventually being forced to turn it off or requiring more effort like active healing to overcome vs a non-vit warrior who simply needs a Adrenal Health and/or some regen food.

The problem with having one big thread is people are like: YOUR GIVING Them this and this at the same time!!! OP OP OP!!!

I just have my ideas thrown around now, because of that.

So you throw around your ideas, whether they stick or not, only to be forgotten when nobody cares anymore? There could be very useful ideas people can pick up and transpose to enhance other ideas that are being forgotten because they didn’t keep up with your dozens of other threads.

…also, people are getting weary of all the threads now.

^This.
Seriously make a megathread of what changes you want, don’t spam our forums with 12 new threads every day.

And no to all those unbalanced changes, except the stance CD reduction which is something we lack.
