Guild Wars 2

My only complaint about Greatsword is Hundred Blades. The damage is great, but easily avoidable. Being rooted while channeling is counter-intuitive to what melee classes are all about. Even in PvE, it sucks when you think the boss is done moving just for him to move slightly to your side and out of range of the attack. The bulk of Greatsword’s damage comes from Hundred Blades yet it feels incredibly situational and fundamentally crippled majority of the time. Perhaps movement speed during the channeling of Hundred Blades could be reduced so we can’t run at full speed, but it would still allow us to adjust ourselves as enemies turn and side step the attack. That would make life so much better when using the Greatsword in all aspects of gameplay. What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?

I think we’ve had more 100b threads than any other topic in all of gw2.

I didnt see any threads suggesting the change I proposed. Lots of troll threads though.

I think the idea is flawed. The greatsword, just like all weapons (in theory) has strengths and weaknesses. GS is arguably the best at mobility of any weapon from any class. Pick your poison scenario. 100b is meant to punish players/mobs that get immobilized, stunned or make the mistake of standing toe to toe with the warrior. If you could move, even a little while channeling the highest coefficient weapon skill in the game dmg wise then it would be terribly OP. In other words, why would anyone use anything else? Already GS is basically used by a large majority as it is. What you suggest will never, ever happen. Sorry.

if you want a mobile 100b use auto attack.. the dmg wuth AA you do in the 3.5 sec is nearly the same.. the only difference is the last hit thats is what makes 100b 10-15% stronger dmg wise… just only use 100b if you are 100% sure you get it all through or to make ppl move from for example downed players. 100b look like its doing much dmg in a short amount of time coz tehre are so many little dmg numbers, thats why ppk move when you cast it

welll i just calculated the dmg and autoattack is arround 5% less dmg then full 100b

but thats normal of anet.. most attacks does same dps then autoattack if they dont have some special ability like cripple root dodge or something else

Then I’ll never use the Greatsword because the mobility is garbage if the one ability that does good damage is a stick in the mud with its situational uses. I’m not going to use a glorified stat stick just for a couple movement abilities and easily telegraphed and avoidable damage. I’d gladly have the damage be on par with the Guardian Greatsword’s #2 in exchange for similar mobility.

if its for pve gs is not so important but if you want to play wvw then you will see that greatsword is a must have for solo or small scale … you know that guardian have way less mobilty then a warrior? guard mobilty is kitten compared to warriors

GS is fine
