Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!
I’m just wondering is the GS burst build still viable in tourneys and spvp? Ive been gone for a couple of days and don’t have that much time to play gw2 at the moment as before, but it seems that they changed the war a bit.
My point is that certain classes can completely avoid Bull’s Rush/100b combo. Its Thief/Mesmer/Guardian and maybe more, just those are on the top of my head now. And after they avoid it its fine, I switch to axe n shield and still doing nice dmg etc, but my frenzy is activated by that time which means If its a thief he can take like more than 60% of my hp pretty quickly.

I’m not saying its OP/UP or w/e. Just wondering. Don’t start the hate.

it is. but less so as the days go by and people learn just how easy it is to avoid granted you’re playing certain classes like the ones you mentioned. but still, success is much more high when entering late to a fight in progress as whoever’s fighting may have already used their stability cd’s or other tricks that can counter it.

Also I forgot to mention. I know that 100b combo is expected from a war, so I’m trying to be less expected to do my combo, wait for them to dodge, use certain abilities etc and yet in the end it still kinda fails. Also, since this build is kinda glass cannon now the teams are always focusing me haha, so pretty much I die instantly If we meet a good team in tPvp.

Thanks for your comment.

one trick that’s been reliable for me is to fight in sword n board mode at the beginning of a fight, shield bash some seconds in to the fight, and if it connects quickly switch weapons to frenzy bulls charge etc.

It will always be viable if you are patient and use it at the right time. Never use it right after you charge in, ppl expect it. Rather, charge in, use 100b with no frenzy, maybe they will avoid maybe not. Wait until it is up again then Bolas them and frenzy. Or as someone else said fight with other weapons until you want to use it to bring their guard down. But, it will always miss sometimes. I hate when I waste frenzy!!!!

use rush and normal 100b as an opener. this will almost guarantee they blow cooldowns. then hit them with the big stuff!

Bullrush+Frenzy+100 blades is a OP. I have a 80 thief in full invader and can be killed before I am even able to break stun and attempt a dodge. Those three skills will kill anyone under 14k life, if it doesn’t than just chase after them and spam your auto attack. Warriors Cheesy OP atm.

So what you’re saying is that your gear isn’t allowing you to win, and you lack skill, therefore you’re being easily killed by noob warriors.

I find it very amusing how hes talking about his deaths in “World vs World”. Looooooool. Hes probably mad that they nerfed the crap out of his HeartSeeker and now he wants Hundred Blades nerfed too. looool.

Thanks for the tips guys, but I forgot to mention I do the stuff u said. I often start with axe n shield and do what u say. Just good players will always avoid the bull’s rush.

Thanks for your replies guys.

If grass is greener, reroll and find out its astroturf.
