Okay guys I want to know what is up with all this Killshot roaming videos recently. Is this build becoming the “meta” for Warrior when it come to roaming? Is this better than GS/Hammer?

I really don’t get it because when there is someone in this forums asking about how Rifle is ppl don’t lose any time to say it’s complete trash and LBow is the way to go!

Just because 90% of the warriors use hammer/gs doesn’t mean its the best build.
There is no best build.

I knwo but there are certainly ones more effective than others, that’s why they are called meta.
I want to know what did rifle gain recently to make it so popular, even when ppl ask the comunity says it’s trash

I wouldn’t even go so far as to say certain builds are more effective. Meta builds are builds that a) high tier players have success with, and other players copy them. Or b) builds that a few people have success with, and others copy them. This doesn’t mean those builds are better. A completely different build could be a better fit for any given person.

As far as KS builds go, I think it’s the same story. Some people experimented with R/GS and had some fun/success. Other people saw that and thought they could to the same, so now they also are running and making videos on R/GS.

Killshot warrior is kinda old but still viable.

I stopped with running hammer GS cause every warrior runs it.
Now I made my own viable build and still pown these so called"meta roaming builds"
Don’t follow the meta train. You don’t have to be a zombie

its not viable.. good against thieves and to some extent mesmers (compared to other warrior builds only), but that doesnt make it viable. you dont want to go srs duel with that kind of build. build mostly relies on highend gear and people not paying attention to killshot.

i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015

Trama has played killshot since like forever, that’s nothing new.

Trama and Vaans were playing Killshot before the June 23rd patch. If anything its harder to play now since you cant have warrior sprint and crack shot together. So your mobility is worse.

It probably suprises a lot of people since “the meta” is GS/Hammer and so many warriors use it that it becomes easy for other classes to learn to counter it or at least to predict the rotations. When they come across a slightly different setup it gives the warrior the suprise element.

I personally like skull crack or eviscerate (axe/shield) since i dont see as many of those.

Hey, I’ve been playing GreatHam – I love calling it that – since back when all the cool kids were using shoutbow!

I do wish there were more viable builds tho, so that it wasn’t just GreatHam Rampage Wars as far as the eye can see.

I don’t get it either. I’ve been seeing Rifle/GS Warriors everywhere lately. I know it’s not a “new” build but it’s certainly grown in popularity and I don’t really understand why other than that people might just find it very fun. Otherwise, it’s definitely not the most effective choice so if it’s not for fun I think people are being mislead somewhere.

But, I’m not against this change either. 9 times out of 10 they kill themselves by Killshotting me when I’m using shield reflect, lol.

Many Warriors have given up being “meta” because we don’t really HAVE a meta anymore. We’re not really that effective of a class when compared to Mesmer so we might as well just have fun with our builds.

Heightened Focus is a big help because a Quickness Kill Shot is much easier to land. You could even drop one of your stances for Frenzy.
