Mercenary Amulet removed for S3
Sages or Carrion will work fine.
Yes but Merc amulet was great for my double melee Sword/Torch Mace/Shield Condi War.
Now it will have to be LB Mace/Shield to keep some distance when needed.
But i will probably test out Power War with Demolisher amulet and GS Axe/Shield especially now Mesmers and Necros will not have Merc Amulet anymore they will have to give up DPS or be squishier.

Honestly, Demolisher GS Axe/Shield already works really well. It’s just going to be even better now.

This change makes me so sad. I was playing my warrior again for the first time in months. I loved that double melee build seemed risky but balanced.

Yes i actually played Demolisher GS Axe/Shield first after the recent warrior buff but moved to Mercenary Sw/Torch Mace/Shield because imho it was much better. Now Power War is most likely better.

Distracting Strikes Mace/Shield + X will continue using Viper.
Balanced Def/Disc/Zerk Mace/Shield + LB can swap to Carrion, or perhaps Wanderer’s. Sage isn’t worth it.
Power builds haven’t changed at all.

Play around with a demolisher axe build. It’s really not that far off from condi.
Vipers. You already have plenty of health and toughness as a warrior. All you need is 2500 armor and you should be fine.
Played a little bit with Sage and Berserker Runes. It was pretty tanky still with nice bursts.

Itll either be sages’ or wanderers im guessing

Wanderers was already better for this build (S/T M/S) with the strength > Disc variant. Nothing changes on that front.
The Disc variant is now nerfed but probably still viable on wanderers or sage’s as mentioned.
People need to stop taking these changes as moving something strong (arguably top Meta now, but hard to tell yet) into unplayable when instead it’s just cutting it back a bit. Condi war was too strong and despite this “nerf” being more directed (IMO) to Mes, it was needed here too.
Actually everyone good who played condition warr used wanderers don’t know why you guys even crying. I think in pro league nobody ever used mercenary

No one has had a chance to play the build we are talking about in Pro League yet.
I also never understood why you would use merc… The condi warrior doesnt have much power burst anyways. Better go full condi, been doing that for months now… Even before warrior was buffed. Even made a video about it

I always think that stuff lines up with the actual seasons better than it does. Thanks.
Is that match replay up online yet?

Power warrior is still not very good they can change all the amulets they want I won’t play one. I’ll switch to another condi amulet or just play something else.

You say that but I did a ton of damage with merc amulet and sword /torch mace/shield. My damage stats were almost exactly split 50/50 between power and condi which I like a lot especially when fighting ele and their diamond skin.

Yeah I’m getting a pretty even split with sage macebow. The damage coefficients on some skills like skull grinder (1.5) and mace 2 (2.0) make it worth taking power imo.
Mace with Intelligence sigil and Merc amulet was indeed very strong. 40-50% of total damage in this setup come from direct power damage and it adds a dangerous burst potential. Wanderers isn’t the same, I will try Carrion instead.
Sage’s amulet + Leadership runes working great
