So basicly, you get 3.5 seconds of Daggerstorm every 6 seconds? ….

I sincerely hope this ‘Greatsword Only’ attitude is being purely directed at PvE, if not then… I’ve truly lost all faith in the Warrior community.
A Greatsword warrior is a free kill, I thought this was common knowledge by this point?

Say that, to this guy: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/WvW-Warrior-Commentary-Hammer-GS/first#post2217328

Some people like to play the warrior like a warrior and go melee not staying in the back of their team spaming arrows or gun shots.

Because Greatsword is our only melee weapon…
/facepalm

You had a lot of time to get a far better answer and you come with this… you dissapointed me.

I run axe/axe and close-quarters longbow. I approve of Dolan’s statement.

OMG you approve it! , this is BIG… this uknown guy approves it… THIS IS kittenING SERIOUS!

Jokes aside…

So you are telling me you agreed with the actitude that we should ignore Great Sword problems, just because we have another weapons at our dispossal?, because this is what this guy its preaching and its really stupid, it like saying, “oh whatever we should not care about 1 of our children we have another one, he can die”…

So before you “approve” with the authority of “no one cares” you should study well what are you talking about.

Different weapons are made for different situations. Rifle is for strong single target damage, bow for AoE damage, shield is for blocking, you see where I’m going with this? Greatsword excels at obliterating stationary targets. But surprisingly other players don’t stand still. It does its job well, arguing that it can’t land it’s full damage burst on a moving target is like arguing that the shield can’t shoot laser beams, it’s not meant to! Understand this and move on, the sooner you move onto Axe or Sword the better off you will be.

This Fenrir guy has quoted and disagreed with every post I’ve made in the past 24 hours. I’m not sure if he’s trolling, but I still agree with you 100%. It’s hard to find another warrior who understands the importance of mobility and how lackluster the greatsword actually becomes when facing far greater odds when most other classes will outdo a warrior simply due to balance issues.

Hundred blades should not root you for 3.5 seconds. Projectile reflection or not.

You are still affected by other forms of dps. You can still be CCed.

The duration should be dropped significantly. There is no other solution to it except making it mobile and even then anybody can dodge it.

It just requires tons of setup while a single thief heart seeker does the same damage with zero setup , instantly and zero cool down.

I’m not sure why warrior players keep compromising and negotiating around their crappy abilities while not noticing how easy the other classes have it.

My god just stop posting.

GS is for mobility and for evades/kiting as someone posted. Only new comers use GS for 100b mainly.

Terrible replies..just..terrible..

That idea is silly, just wanted to say. On the other hand:

Two-handed
Hammer — Pounds the ground with area of effect attacks that can stagger groups of enemies.
Greatsword — Sweeping, brutal attacks which carry the greatsword’s momentum from foe to foe.
Longbow — Massive fire damage used to keep hordes of enemies at bay from afar.
Rifle — Inflict various conditions and unleash powerful attacks against a single target.

Main-hand
Axe — Can quickly build up adrenaline and can deliver powerful high damage attacks.
Sword — Quick and mobile, with many opportunities to cause bleeding.
Mace — Mainly a defensive weapon, the mace can also leave enemies susceptible to further blows.

Off-hand
Shield — Used to bash foes or block incoming attacks.
Warhorn — Grants boons to allies, facilitating mobility.
Axe — Can be used to strike with both weapons simultaneously or storm with a whirling attack.
Sword — Can be thrown at enemies or to block and retaliate.
Mace — Used to crush the armor of a foe or stun foes in front by slamming the mace on the ground.

Aquatic
Harpoon gun — Long range mechanical weapon which inflicts conditions.
Spear — Close range martial weapon with several multi-hit attacks.

Haha he’s usually not too bad, most warriors just get a bit of separation anxiety at the thought of parting with their Greatsword…. And the unfortunate whining about it’s lackluster in PvP/WvW will lead to it getting wrecked as far as PvE goes, but hey, what can you do?

In fairy tale land where unicorns fart rainbows and you never get crippled or chilled ever, sure, GS is pretty mobile. In the game I play those conditions get thrown around so regularly there’s rarely any point in cleansing them. Also the definition of ‘kiting’ has changed significantly in the past few hours if you can now do this with a melee weapon…
Savage Leap > Rush and Whirlwind put together if we’re talking about mobility here…. But I fear my words might be wasted on a theory crafter who has yet to see the battlefield.

What are you talking about? You have two mobile strike abilities on your GS, 3 on your axe/shield and a bulls charge. That gives you 6 immobilize removers. There is no point in cleansing immob and cripple? Then you sit back with your rifle/signet warrior and get kitten on?

Let me sum up your previous replies:

You are against having banner buffs being mobile because a banner on your back clashes with your outfit.

You think signets are great.

You think GS is used for 100b mainly.

You think since a condition can be applied repeatedly that you should not fight against it? I guess condition removal/stun breakers are just a silly concept, too.

You use a rifle. Hows that going with a thief or a melee warrior drowning your face with kitten?

You think signet of might with a cc interrupts blocking -if you knew the class you’d know that it doesn’t-. I think pretending that something is right without knowing if it actually works is called theory crafting which you just did.

You are allowed to have an opinion but don’t think that that means it’s right.

Everyone should check this guys posts and see the multiple replies correcting him/making fun of him. You’d think that some ppl get embarrassed sooner or later.

Keep posting. We need the entertainment.

^I actually trolling ppl in tpvp solo que with mace/mace+rifle..On top of that healing signet.. U have no idea how many warriors with gs+axe/shield i have killed. Every weapon should be viable, so dont pick up on someone using rifle, u might meet someone that actually will make a good use of it…

For me they actually should focus on gs and sword first as they r close to be viable

Your 2 post made my day, finally someone that really understand our problems and the warrior.

gs isnt only hb but if cant hit your enemy with hb you wont win any fight…. what do you want to do instaed of hb? pressing 5 and hope that the enemy dont dodge? or press 3 whirwind and wonder why you hit the enemy only a few times during he cripple,fear and freeze you while he also deal dps.

you only win a fight by dealing dmg against the enemy. and if the enemy isnt drunken you CANT deal CONSTANTLY dmg…so were is the problem to buff hb which is mainly the dps skill of gs….

thiefs also have mobility backstab which make 15kdmg~ in 1sec / hb needs 3,5sec

Never go full kitten…
I strongly recommend you actually read my posts before incorrectly quoting them back to me.

My biff with toting a banner around is purely aesthetic, the concept sure as hell beats what we’ve got now though. However I’ve already posted a much simpler alternative to make them mobile, which you would know if you had actually read it.

Please guide me to where I said Signets are great. Most Signets are rubbish, and time is being wasted on buffing them when other skills are still buggy.

The warriors trying to hit me with 100b is why I think that’s what people use it for, what else does it have going for it? A weak auto attack, even worse Burst skill and the buggiest Rush skill in the game? Granted Whirlwind is semi-decent if you’re not hit with cripple/chill…

Where did I mention immobilise? I said cripple and chill, this is all coming back to your literacy skills. To blow my cleanses when all I’ve got is cripple or chill? No thanks, I’d rather save it for the 6 hour long poison that someone is going to drop on me when I want to heal.

I usually have a ranged set on me yes, is this a crime now? The number of braindead all melee warriors I’ve put down is astounding, you guys are begging to be kited. Not to mention rifle has a cripple/immobilise and a strong knockback. Volley and feigning a Kill Shot are good ways to make people burn their evades. That is how you kite.

Whilst I am usually spread across a few threads at once I’m almost certain I haven’t even mentioned Signet of Might recently.

Now if you’re done with pulling nonsense out of your kitten and being unnecessarily aggressive might we have a mature conversation?

Although… You use Bull’s Rush… LOOOOOOL.

False.

It should Stun and Immobilize foes who get caught within it each hit while providing Stability to yourself. Also, to make it balanced it should deal 2x damage from the back or sides and for the love of god it really needs to heal you for the damage it does. Warriors die too fast while standing still.

Cygnus.6903:

Only the N1 and N3 skill are good actually.

N2 is a PvE move. In pretty much any PvP setting other then a gankfest it has no decent use. In higher level Fractals it becomes mediocre as well, as the last hit does the biggest damage, and you will often interrupt it before that (or die).
N4 could be good, but the projectile needs to move at least twice as fast. As it is, it’s probably the most easily avoidable move in the entire game…..
….Matched only by GS N5… This skill has such bad pathing and a clunky animation, I don’t remember every hitting anybody that wasn’t standing still. As is, you can only use it to get away (it is good at that, sure).
Don’t start about the F1 please. Please.

+1

N°5 concept isn’t that bad: it’s just clunky and avoidable. Fix the pathing and maybe trow in some bonus if it lands (CC, boon on you or cond on foe).

HB is high dmg move, but it’s worthless in pvp. Needs a split (touching the favourite toy of any PvE war? anet will never dare) to improve effectiveness – like reducing the cast time or the dmg taken, something along those lines.

F1 needs a total rework across all game modes. (not excluding some interactions with the HB reworking/splitting)
