Boom Warriors are fixed.

Lettuce Pray.

Lmao, you are quite a funny dude. That would def help us but they have to revert the bezerker stance nerf; they should start from there.

I still don’t get this point of view on Berserker Stance. It seems the biggest concern is that it can be corrupted, but the likelihood of that happening, especially for any length of time, is low.

Meanwhile, it lasts longer, has utility against non-condi builds that still use snares, can be used after condi bombs have been dropped, thereby eliminating the possibility of wasting it like the old stance.

Then we can give every warrior a locked Gs weapon slot by default. And then 1 choose-able alt weapon haha….

And people like me don’t understand the point of view that berserker stance is better after the change. On paper I would totally agree with you. Against boon strip reapers though its complete garbage. I mean a simple point of view is: Can you handle those condition users effectively with berserker stance in your build but without using it? If the answer is yes….then I agreee that the new berserker stance is probably a buff for you and your build/playstyle. If the answer is no though…it becomes rather apparent on how important a guaranteed condition immunity window is to your build.

Better fix is to make berserker stance 1s pulsing per second intervals, instead of 3s in 3s intervals. If they get corrupted you only take 1 second or less of a tick of damage. Also eternal warrior should be 3 stacks of stability not 1. Even necros get 3 stacks per 3s, and there’s no need to trait for it.

Even with all of this, warrior isn’t going to be a “good” choice when reverant still does everything a warrior does 10x better. Protection boon > warrior, enough said.

Yes, it works better against boon stripping condi builds too. Here’s why:

Old Berserker Stance

• Lasted 8s (10s traited)
• Had to be used before conditions applied
• If you guessed wrong about when condis would be incoming, gg for 60s
• If opponent is mildly experienced, they kite for 8s (10s) before bursting you

New Berserker Stance

• Provides pulsing resistance for total of 12s (15s traited), plus boon food
• Best used after a burst, meaning it’s not wasted and opponent has burst on cd
• Can be stripped/stolen/corrupted, but which boon is stripped is random and resistance is reapplied in 3s or less anyway

So take your worst case scenario of a boon corrupting condi necro:

In the old days, you’d pop your stance early on and try to kill him with 8 or 10s. All he had to do was run around and dodge for that short period of time, or go into shroud if available, and then annihilate you once that time’s up because all of his burst skills would be ready.

Now, he’s going to do a full burst on you, hitting you with everything he’s got. Then you use your stance and he’s got to dance around 50% longer than he had to before, trying to corrupt boons in between dodges in hopes that he manages to hit your resistance. Best case scenario for him is he gets it just after a pulse. That would give him 3s at best, and it’s an unlikely scenario.

This would def help, reduce the interval.

And @choppy it depends if you mainly 1 vs 1 or jump into teamfight. In tf, the old bezerker stance made you a beast, with the nerf/buff you are food to condi reapers.

Just take the Healing signet active and make it a passive + health regen. Can change the pulse duration. Boom, we have some help.

The way 100b worked in 2012. So OP

This is all you really need to say, I still really can’t see how people can think it’s a nerf. A condi necro will not corrupt your boons every 3 seconds, if he does, he’s spamming auto chains and what the hell are you doing letting him spam those? Condis necros are the only class that are slightly able to counter Berserker Stance, all other classes that use a full condi build pretty much become useless for the next 12-15sec.
