Let’s do something fun.
As much as base Warrior is in a dire state and Berserker is being touted as Physical 2.0 and Rampage-lite, I do like that Berserker added some expansion to condi builds.
Though, I think it’s fun to see Warrior expand in even more ways than the “simple” ideology that Anet keeps.
So everyone, post skills or abilities from other games (action, adventure, fps, rts, moba, puzzle?, rpgs, mmos, fighting, strategy) from their Warrior/Berserker archetype and post them here. Also, post how it might translate into utilities, heals, elites, traits, or even weapon skills, within the balances of Guild Wars 2. Think of this as crowdsourcing different Warrior ideas that you really enjoyed from other games that you might want to see in Guild Wars 2.

Some Ideas:
- Inner Beast (Beastmaster from DOTA2): 15% Attack Speed aura for your allies.
- Primal Roar (Beastmaster from DOTA2): Replace Headbutt, shouts at the enemy from ranged and stuns them for 3 seconds, any enemies along the path of your target get pushed back and crippled.
- Thirst (Bloodseeker from DOTA2): Attacks on enemies below 50% can’t be blinded. Enemies below 25% HP can be seen by the Warrior even through stealth (but not revealed).
- Reactive Armor (Timbersaw from DOTA2): Every hit landed on you gives you a stacking buff of toughness for 5 seconds.
- Kraken Shell (Tidehunter from DOTA2): Taking too much damage in a small window of time cleanses all conditions from you and breaks stun.
- Berserker’s Call (Axe from DOTA2): Using a Shout taunts enemies next to you.
- Culling Blade (Axe from DOTA2): Using Axe Burst (Eviscerate) on an enemy below 10% HP instantly defeats them without downing them. Successfully defeating an enemy this way gives swiftness to you and your allies around you.
- Enrage (Hero from Maple Story): All attacks and AoE can only effect one targeted enemy. All cleaves do not cleave anymore. Substantially increases damage against your targeted enemy.
- Final Pact (Dark Knight from Maple Story): Vengeance and Berserk activates upon being defeated.
- Magic Crash (Warriors from Maple Story): Prevents boon application on the enemy for a short time.
- Leap: Call of Arreat (Barbarian from Diablo 3): Changes Sundering Leap. Enemies within an AoE of the impact area of the leap are pulled into its center.
- Sprint: Marathon (Barbarian from Diablo 3): Added to Warrior’s Sprint, Swiftness bonus increases to 40% movement speed increase.
- Sprint: Forced March (Barbarian from Diablo 3): Added to Phalanx Strength, Swiftness you apply also applies to your allies.
- Brawler (Barbarian from Diablo 3): Increases damage if there are at least 3 enemies near you.
- Unforgiving (Barbarian from Diablo 3): You no longer lose Adrenaline.
- Peco Peco Rider (Warriors from Ragnarok Online): A trait that allows you to mount a Moa, giving 25% additional movement speed while riding but attack speed is reduced.
- Endure (Swordsman from Ragnarok Online): Immune to Daze. Every other CC still works.
- Berserk (Lord Knight from Ragnarok Online): Along with normal Berserk, HP is doubled but healing effects are halved. For more flavor, you cannot chat during Berserk (typing in /say or /party will say “You are too enraged to talk.”
- Melt Down (White Smith from Ragnarok Online): Burst Skills breaks a piece of armor from your opponent, one by one. Could also mean Burst Skills breaks the opponent’s current weapon/kit/attunement/legend, forcing them to switch and putting the broken switch on CD.
- Wonder Guard (Shedinja from Pokemon): Glancing blows do 0 damage to you.
