Is 100b coming back to PvP? Quickness change
Will a channeled, rooting skill with a random chance of being useful every 30 seconds be viable in high-level PvP? Probably not.
100b never left the low-level PvP though. I still enjoy tearing people in WvW/Hotjoin to shreds with bull rush + 100b and I don’t even need quickness to do it.

Well, with Taunt a Skullcracker build might become more viable for more than just dueling and roaming because between Bull’s Charge, Shield Bash, and some sort of Taunt Elite you would be able to land the stun fairly frequently. Even if you don’t land the stun, Taunt + Frenzy/Rage + 100b would be effective. Imagine doing that on top of a downed enemy, they go for the revive and end up just running into your 100b while you cleave the downed guy.
Hammer/GS is another option, you see it in WvW but being able to pull a group of people into your Earthshaker? Scary stuff.

Any Taunt Warriors are going to get is going to be available for the Specialization only and we don’t know what current utilities and/or mechanics that specialization will lose, so really not worth speculating over until we know more about the upcoming warrior spec.
They still need to fix Bull’s charge. It’s incredibly bad now.
2) It procced while casting 100b but did not speed it up
cancel it into Arcing Slice > WW, you will do even more damage than 100b since quickened WW will get all 4 hits on enemy.
There’s still immob, fear me and you’ll get the full HB off. Thing is though you’re burning two skills for a full HB.
Schwahrheit, #1 Fuhrer NA, Just your everyday typical rager
you can bolas fear me balanced stance for dueling with standard gs build
but it stays for fun build.
best bet is bullcharge with zerker stance and ofc balanced stance, but bull charge sucks, i would rather just take a third stance.
and generally, even hundred blade is use able, gs is still not an ideal weapon for conquest, it still does not surpass thief or mesmer in terms of roamer, lack of boon removal, and actual blink mobility.
and can not prevent decap, if you actually want to output damage or survive, you will get out of the node( for the node being so small) and enemy will decap you.
you don’t want to think hundred blade as your primal damage outpu, because it’s not, people who use whirling and arcing slice will do more reliable burst damage and have more survibility.
you can land your hundred blade whenever you land your pin down.
like i previously mentioned of bolas fear me, alternatively you can go zerker stance, fear me, balanced stance and fear me pin down with hundred blade either that, or just triple stance.
tldr : GS is just unrealistic in conquest for serious play, in stronghold perhaps.

funny thing is most of my 1 vs 1 when my 100b is channeling my opponent doesn’t seem to care because it doesn’t even hurt them because of the 100b nerf a glass thief i barely hurt him with my 100b while my warrior is open for a burst i would love if they just remove 100b and change it with something else that we can use and not rooting us in 1 place maybe Dragon Slash a skill from GW1
Dont call it a comeback, its been here for years!
