Guild Wars 2

Hello !
I am working on a full rework/change for the warrior, I’ll give some of my thought, still I need help from you guys, give me your ideas !

My point :
- to give useless skills a chance to be used
- upgrade core weapons
- nerf some strong berserker primal burst
- make the warrior feels more “crushing”
- nerf passive defense, focus on active defense
- PS damage around 20k for both Condi and Power so you choose the build for a specific encounter and not because it’s stronger
- DPS spec ! (around 30k) for Condi and Power (2 axes!)

- Physical skills!
- Banners!
- Stances!
- Berserker!
(made some changes for these I will update it in the next days)
I continue this time with traits, thought about trying to put it as that_shaman did for building spec but I really don’t know how I can do it so I will try to make it clear

For strenght, I wanted to give dual axe some love and some PvP traits hammer related.
Mace traits are moved to ARMS
With a little buff from Axe damage, and this change to t3->t2 dual axe, + dual wielding in strenght, I just wanted to see my dual axe somewhere else than solo open world.

TIER 1
T1 : Reckless dodge
Damage foes at the end of a dodge roll
Target 5
Radius 180

I.1 : Empower allies
Increase power for nearby allies
Empower allies : +150 power for 9sec
Interval : 3sec
Radius : 600
Combat only
So you can bring it when playing Power-phalanx, or if you are playing a power DPS spec, Condi ps shouldn’t have the ability to get +150 power buff for the team

I.2 : Peak performance
Physicall skills deal more dmage based on how much adrenaline you have. Physical skills recharge faster.
Lvl 1 : 10% to 15%
Lvl 2 : 20% to 30%
Lvl 3 : 30% to 45%
Recharge reduced : 20%

I.3 : Death from above
Damage and launch foes when you take falling damage. Take less damage from falling.
Launch : 450
Radius : 240
Combo finisher : blast
Unblockable
Damage reduce : 50%

TIER 2
T2 : Building momentum

TIER 3
T3 : Stick and move

Damage increase : 10%

III.1 : Berserker’s power
Gain a damage boost when you use a burst skill. Boost power increases based on how much adrenaline you have buildt
Boost power : 7% damage increase (works like AH and dosn’t nerf it with my change to primal burst aka primal burst works like stage 2 adrenaline)
Adrenaline stage 1 : x1
Adrenaline stage 2 : x2
Adrenaline stage 3 : x3

III.2 : Dual wielding
Damage is increased when wielding a sword, axe, or mace in your off hand, bonus if full adrenaline
Damage increase : 15%
Bonus : 5%

III.3 :

Stances!
For Defense I wanted to rip this second Endure pain. Adrenal health and cleanse ire trigger level2 with primal burst as said in my Berserker changes.
Pretty sure we won’t see real stances for Berserker/Balanced but hey I love it anyway so make sure to look at my Stances changes.

TIER 1
T1 : Adrenal health

I.2 : Cull the weak
When you target is below health treshold you inflict cripple, and deal extra damage to crippled enemies.
Damage increase : 5% to 7%

Percentage : 10% to 7%

TIER 2
T2 : Stance student
Stances last longer
Bonus duration : 25%

II.1 : Armored attack

Based on percentage : 10%

II.2 : Merciless hammer

Berserker stance : Inflict weakness and cripple to nearby enemies
Balance stance : Fear nearby enemies

T3 : Spiked armor
Gain retaliation when you block or are struck by a critical hit. Retaliation gives you bonus toughness. Gain additional toughness when wielding a 2H weapon.

cd : 15sec

III.1 : Rousing resilience
Gain toughness and health when you break out of a stun
Healing : 2.500
Rousing resilience (8sec) : gain up to 1.000 toughness based on your level

III.2 :

III.3 : Cleansing ire
Gain adrenaline when hit. Remove a condition for every bar of adrenaline spent when you hit with a burst skill
Adrenaline : 1
With primal burst, removes 2 conditions instead of 3.

Again feel free to discuss and give your ideas so I can tune mine.
Remember, no more x2 endure pain nor x2 balance stance.

well there goes the good condi traits from the strength line :-(

unless you’re proposing putting them in arms, i will oppose this w all my heart.

I’ll do Discipline/Berserker before Arms, but yeah Arms become the real condition mastery don’t worry. For those, I alrdy kept them in my list.
