Guild Wars 2

So we don`t have to take Tactics Burning arrows mandatorily. Talking here from a condi build point of view. Ty

Another way would be to give a 50% chance on all aa skills while in beserker to cause 1 stack of burning for 1 sec…this would improve beserker a ton in pvp for both condi and hybrid (condi+dmg or condi+tank)but might totally break pve idk i dont play much of it…that being said i dont think changing one skill on one weapon is going to be the savior this spec needs

This would make a whole trait line forgettable for the condi builds. The problem is I would only take it for the arrows, but It dosen`t offer anything else for condi builds. Also I thin Chase yours would break pve Babysteps

Na, remove damaging conditions from the game instead.

Burning arrows in tactics is terrible for condition builds. It has zero synergy with anything else you would want to do as a condition build.

And yet for condi War in PvE it grants a larget DPS increase than all of Discipline so you take a line for one trait.

Warrior traits in general kinda suck except for arms. Arms is great. Too bad it isn’t good in pvp.

Kinda disagree with this,

Tactics might indeed not be the most suited place for a bow trait but the tree has some good synergy with the rest of the Warrior talents if you build right.

For instance, Leg specialist can be used with a Sigil of Incapacitation to cause 2sec cripple, which triggers leg specialist, which again triggers opportunist. That fury increases your condition dmg by 150 and that increased critical chance gives you more adrenaline and condition dmg with furious.

The Grandmaster trait is a more tricky one, but if you don’t mind giving up the Discipline trait line, you can take Vigorous Shouts, take Strength as your third tree and mix shouts and physical utilities with Body Blow and Distracting strike to grant your build extra versatility.
- Fear me will Fear, Bleed, Weakness, Confusion up to 5 ennemies while, with footman runes, it removes 1 condition and heals up to 5 allies. And the skill has a 20% reduced CD.
- Stomp is your second stunbreaker, Bleed, Weakness, Confusion and can be used in your firefield for combo explosion. And the skill has a 20% reduced CD.
- Shake it off is your main stunbreaker and with footman runes removes 2 conditions, heals up to 5 allies. And the skill as a 20% reduced CD.

That’s just one exemple of synergy between traits and gear that can make a Shout Bow build very usefull. Is it good for PvP? Not realy, but warriors aren’t that great for PvP anyways because they rely way to much on their defensive utilities to survive and they also have way less evasive frames compared to most other professions.

Shoutheals are okay.
Shouts give you 5 Adrenalin which can be important for your Primal Burst Cycle.
Yes its not a pure offensive trait but its okay with a Longbow it can be worse.
In combination with Toughness (no power on equip) you can play Shoutheals and Longbow with a good balance. Power is not important in my opinion.

That s why I use Disc-Tact-Zerk for open world and only drop shout heals in Fracts for Arms, cause longer fights.
