Guild Wars 2

Doth thou anger consume you? Your allies die in mere seconds before your banner lands? Signet of Rage not grant you enough?

Rampage.

Right now, run it if you have any power in your strikes. It is so, so good to use in almost any situation.

50k health is a huge health bar to burn through, and with Melandru runes you are pretty much invincible until the full extent of a 25 man zerg focuses you only.

It is the Lich Form of Warriors right now with everyone running squishy glass builds, your auto-attacks and CC deal HEAVY damage to anyone and anything.

Run it, embrace it, love it. (Seriously though, Peak Performance makes this elite an absolute must.)

Nerf incoming in 5… 4… 3… 2…

Rampage is only warrior build that works. . .

Rampage is broken without Peak Performance. With it… it’s just incredibly stupid. It’s funny when you hear Tarcis defending it, he’s so pleased with this patch. Of course! 3 shotting everything left and right sure is fun.

L2P issue for those that complain.

I duel hammer warriors running rampage on my engineer with ONE stun break and no stability and I still win. Just kite, use invis, blinds, blocks, dodges until it runs out.

I’ve been running it all morning, it is indeed fun. Warrior in general is fun to play currently, even when not in rampage.

This is true.

Blinds and Blocks are the real active counters against a Rampage, and right now with conditions ticking rather strongly you can pop condition burst after the first 6 seconds (if said smart Rampage Warrior pops healing Signet just before Rampage to negate condition effects) and that 50k goes down fast.

Treat it as a melee Lich Form with CC.

It is for this reason that I take MoA as a mesmer. Rampage and Lich form. People often say stuff like “lame mesmer”, noob, yadada. But no ally complains when the huge rampaging monster turns into a glorified duck.

I won’t use MoA under a normal 1v1 – it kind of takes the fun out of things. But use your elite transformation and face my wrath via my transformation :P

He also doesn’t mind to get 1shotted back when he isn’t using it.

I don’t want the game to go back to invincible celes spamming heals. Although they never truly left.

When it comes to revenge, there’s nothing like flipping them the bird.

At this point, Rampage is one of the few redeeming points left to Warrior. Everyone else got buffed to hell, and we got left in the dust.

He doesn’t get one-shotted with double endure pain.
Nerfing stupid damage does not imply the return of invincible celestial, not everything is black and white, there can always be a middle term.
Also, not only is damage too high, there are certain specs that are extremely tanky for the damage they do, namely elementalists, necromancers and certain engineer specs. Mesmers are just too splippery too.
I think Warrior’s only viable spec in this meta is Greatsword/Hammer, and such spec is not as good as other alternatives from other professions, but some players are just getting carried by Rampage, this elite is nuts right now. If it ever gets nerfed, I’m all for buffs in some other aspects.

Indeed, wouldn’t you rather have other viable choices?

I don’t think this ability needs a nerf at the moment. As it stands, this is the only ability that is strong for warriors but still has disadvantages. Take Lich for example, it is strong – easily kiteable though. Same goes for Rampage. Kite until it wears off.

i feel like some type of nerf will probably come to rampage soon though as they always nerf warrior more and more

rampage is a great elite. more elites need to be this good as opposed to nerfs.

Rampage isn’t any worse the loch and they never nerfed that

Just Buff Signet of Rage for real it shouldn’t be nerfed in the first place, now it kinda you are forced to use Rampage.
