Guild Wars 2

After the “nerf” to leg specialist the trait became useless, and while I agree that there was a big issue with sword warriors perma immobilizing people it was an issue of one target getting immobilized. Now you can’t aoe immobilize with the sword auto or hammer 3 because it just pops on the first person and goes on the internal cool down. Instead have it not be able to affect the same target for the same internal cool down while still giving the aoe immobilize that made leg specialist viable before (before the change to the sword skills).

Anyway, what are your thoughts on this, it would diversify trait lines a bit having people choose between the shout cd or potential aoe immobilize.

Personally I think warriors have too few immobilize skills,
or what the condition is which are required, to validate
leg specialist as a useful trait.
I know it might seem OP to have it affect all targets of
like the hammer ‘3’ slot skill, but it’s a condition, which
can be removed by condition removals.

On that note if ANet’s skil dev team comes up with a skill
that applies immobilize and torment, I think I might quit
GW2 for good …just saying.

What, you came here to QQ about a 1 day reversal? If you had any clue or played a warrior consistently then you would have known that Leg Specialist had an ICD before the patch, when the patch was released and there were no ICD, even I thought that was way OP. Sword auto attack can chain immobilze a whole group of people. Even if it’s perma immobilise for one person that is completely overpowered.

I still use leg specialist on my solo build, it’s still a powerful trait. Get over yourself.

Hey im a Warrior myself and i personally love and use this trait.

The trait is fine in my opinion that is, we all don’t want something like crazy permanent immobilize.

Its still very useful for opening strikes with GS/Hammer/Axes/Rifles, combined with the Opportunist trait makes it even better.

But yeah its Really-Really-Really weak comparing to what it used to be.

So i hope Anet will ADD something like an increased 1 second Immobilize duration…

Or anything, just add something to it to make it even more “Attractive”

As long as its not a Decrease in Cooldown, which is useless because of the Weapon Skill Cooldowns and Weapon Swap Delays that makes the Decreased Cooldown time gives you NO advantage.

:D

I didn’t come here to QQ as you put it. I came here to look for a civil discussion on a trait, it seems you are incapable of that. What I came here to argue is that the cooldown should be applied on a per player basis, that is, aoe cripples such as hammer 3, sword auto, and Gs 4 will apply the 1s immobilize to all targets hit by the cripple, not just the first. This was the way the trait worked before (when sword 3 was the leap and sword 2 was the cripple, but I guess you haven’t played warrior that long). What I am proposing is that each target affected by it can’t be affected by it again for the duration of the ICD, but another target can be.

Maybe Leg Specialist should provide Torment instead …
