Guild Wars 2

I’ve been on the forums a lot lately and have read a few speculations on the new “Bezerker” Specialization being hand to hand combat (punching enemies in the face). Then I watched Wooden Potatoes new vid on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDULOykGyyE. About 5 minutes in he talks about this and how it would be stupid if implemented with the example he used. Then I started thinking…yes it would be stupid like that, but would be awesome if you could use a transformation/ kit/ shroud-like skill based on adrenaline build up. So with a new trait line, you could focus/ convert your adrenaline into Chi (giving up you default F1 skills). When activating F1 after building up your Chi/ Adrenaline. You would enter something similar to Rampage and Death Shroud (without the massive health pool).

What I can imagine:

1. Build up Adrenaline/ Chi.
2. Pressing F1 to enter focused state/ enlightenment or whatever you want to call it.
3. Rushing foward at superspeed (like bulls charge, shadowstep or blink), punching the enemy in the face, knocking them on their bottoms. Activating another skill wich shoots a kamehameha like skill or a barrage of energy/ chi orbs at the target area.

this idea was thought over in 10 seconds so you don’t have to take me seriously. But I got excited over the idea of it like a kid on christmas when I had this brain fart. :P

What do you guys think?

We’re Warriors. Not some big-eyed lightbulb throwing fairies.

lmao ^^

Well Charr already have the super sayain hair cut so… why not?

Warriors can use a wooden longbow with simple arrows. Or a rifle. Don’t compare a guild wars 2 warrior with Goku.
Goku is a godlike being that can fly, teleport with mind power, blow up entire planets with 1 finger….

All the replies I expected to hear. Still made me laugh though. Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned DBZ as an example. I exhaggerated my own idea. Soooooo…that being said, forget the title and the flying lightbulb barrage.

What about martial arts and the use of chi? You, don’t have to give up your weapon for this. My idea on giving F1 burst skills another use, similar to rampage and lich I still stand with (Short durations though, no HP boost).

Didn’t samurais and other sort of warriors in history train their minds, bodies and souls to defeat enemies? (Feel free to correct me in any way shape or form there as I’m 95% sure I got something wrong lol). So far Warriors just seem like a run in smash, slash and dash class with nothing more. I’m ok with that. But I was wondering if the profession was ever going to evolve into something more. (I do not mean Guadian)

What do you guys think?

Note: Please disgard the Goku like comparisons I made. :P

A Berserker seems like the polar opposite of a Samurai to me

Personally i’d rather have Kenshiro’s Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken. https://youtu.be/-kPII561-GY?t=2m1s

i would think more like guts from the anime berserk

What I was thinking the specialization will be is similar. Based on the idea of in battle and what not, but a little different.
Adrenaline changes to rage (matching berserker theme)
1st bar of rage: 15% less damage taken
2nd bar: Above + -15% condition duration
3rd bar: Above + 15% faster attack speed
Once fully built, you can enter into berserker mode, which basically doubles everything for 5 seconds. So:
berserker mode: -30% damage taken
-30% condition duration
+30% attack speed
(Possibly some might stacks too?)

This would fit the whole theme of a berserker (which I see as the more you are in battle, the harder you fight). Also doesn’t seem ridiculously overpowered (maybe I’m just blinded my self-infallacy). Further more, it offers a nice balance so it does not favor condition nor power builds.

The other great thing about this that I just thought of is it helps warrior maintain that tanky theme it is supposed to have, being a heavy armor class and all, without just giving COMPLETELY mindless (only semi mindless ) stat boosts.

Where did this Berserker name come from anyway? All I’ve seen is a “Datamined” picture. Never saw a name with it.

That’s closer to what I was trying to say. Not quite, but closer. The video audio raised my partner’s eyebrows though. Thanks for that lol

This is a more realistic version of what I was thinking. Thank you for wording your idea better than I could mine
