Guild Wars 2

As we know Crack shot is competing against Warrior sprint in the new trait lines. Exactly how valued is the 25% movement speed in WvW?

For example say with signet of mastery you will get 30s swiftness uptime with a 48s CD. Is this feasible to work with in small roaming groups and in general? Or is always having increased movement speed that important that I should compensate by running Traveler Runes?

Thanks in advance for replies. Ye fellow rifle warriors.

Rifle will be deader than dead after patch, hammer train PvT warrior will live on.

Unless the elete spec has some things to enhance rifles and dual wielding both are dead. Becasue both of those builds are in direct competition with better builds.

For movement, you can run a warhorn on swap. Warhorn has a skill that will grant you swiftness—pair that with the Signet or Rage (signet mastery only helps this) and you can have 100% swiftness uptime, so you don’t need warrior sprint or expensive runes.

Also, wvw zergs gladly welcome a warrior with a warhorn.

Ya you can run the old run and gun build. Sword/warhorn Rifle. Question you need to ask is that better than other builds no….

I used to run Rifle/GS, and I still could for a more bursty version of what I ran. Now however, I think going for heal shouts and Rifle/sw+wh would give me much more group support and survivability. It’ll be something I’ll need to play around with.

I love how the first response is there are better builds out there. XD I laffed.

If I go warhorn I’ma have to throw away my shiny flameseeker proh. I QQ. TBH Ive never used warhorn in my life so i’ll have to try it out I guess. Still the trait for it will be in tactics which I’m not thinking of using and if I did it’s in competition with Leg specialist.

If I didn’t use Traveller Runes it would of been Hoelbrak or Strength. Am I really losing alot by not getting either of the latter against the former?

If you have flameseeker prophecies go Axe/Shield + GS.

If you have the predator and don’t play engineer, you can shed your tears now… into this jar I’m holding.

I run hammer PvT Warrior… with rifle and +25% runes.

I hope more people dont discover just how flexible Warriors can actually be in the current meta. Then we wouldnt be able to slaughter melee only when they rush in through a rain of piercing shots followed by hammerstuns inside the defensive wells

Anet’s way of balance.
When a trait is OP, LET’S MAKE IT MORE OP! (looking at shout, LB)
When the trait is UP, let’s ignore it or nerf it! (looking at rifle..)

Everything is subject to change.

So weapon swap.
