Guild Wars 2

First of all i strongly believe the berseker traitline is meant to be a condi specialisation. it works very well with the strength traitline. Which is really fine and all. We have access to one of the most powerfull conditions en masse, we can apply equal to or greater burns then a burn guard. Overall we can actually deal kittentons of conditions if u go either viper, merceneary condi zerker, mace/shield, sword, torch or longbow or a variant of weapon combinations. A skilled warrior can actually win quite a few 1 v 1’s. But the problem is, we simply cannot pull them off.

We either get interrupted, cc’ed blocked, or nuked by traps, wells(both chrono and reaper) that we just waist a ton of your burst. the problem with berserker is that it can deal plenty of damage, it’s an litterall burts condi spec. but u can’t hit people for kitten in a teamfight. u can litterally melt down anybody in a few seconds if u succesfully pull of a burst safe for druid in celestial avatar form. Like seriously it sucks so bad that when u almost burst down a kittening revenant he goes lol double glints healing, and thier teammates come, if u are Lucky it’s a 2 v 2. but you as a warrior offer almost nothing in teamfights other then selfisly bursting motherkitteners down in 1 v 1. Even thiefs are usefull for+1 and in teamfights they can quickly pick up low health people and down them in an instant before. sometimes u won’t even see what hit them.

It really sucks that with a skilled warrior the following can happen:

Skilled warrior>average player using(class of your choosing) in 1 v 1

average enemy teammates joins the battle, your partner comes as well

2 average players> you on your warrior and your random teammate, this shouldn’t happen. it’s terrible.

a warrior offers nothing of worth on pair other classes don’t do better, it doesn’t even need to be uniquue but it should atleast have some synergy.

all classes below offer something of worth

CC?- DH’s and reapers can easily take care about that

DPS?- Scrappers, power revenants, dh

Conditions-?-reapers, malyx revenants, certain druids and condi shatters

support?- tempest,

healing?-druid

decapping?- thief, scrapper with stealth gyro

So i propose that we on berserker traitline get akin to signet of might when past a certain health treshold maby have your attacks become unblockable every 30 seconds for 5 seconds.

allow for pulsing stability outside berserk mode. or increase the stability gain from eternal champion by 100 percent. and make it 3 stacks of stability.

last and not least for kitten’s sake revert back the berserker stance change it’s annoying as kitten. We don’t need 2 resistances for kitten’s sake. Jesus kittening christ.

I don’t think we need more lockdown we have tons of cc to give. we just need to make sure our attacks actually hit a target.

If a-net’s intention is for us to deal focus damage and no aoe which is cool. atleasst make it so that we can actually walk up to our target and hit them and not get nuked. allows us to actually do more unblockbale attacks without using those useless signets which offer almost no defence whatsoever. it works however to some extent for the zerker berker bunker buster.

U could argue that we could use a longbow, but seriously longbow is so slow and telegraphed and to to fully utilize it u have to use friggin tactics traitline to get the burn on auto attack. I’d rather have the longbow get that burning arrows trait become intergrated in the basic auto attack of longbow to make it a tad bit usefull. so that we can actually apply a slight aoe burning.

Personally I think the Berserker traitline is completely fine. It is all the other classes elite specs that got powercreeped with too much sustain/defense.

I agree though that it is less likely that ey nerf every single other elite spec. I would not find it most optimal though if the Berserker line becomes also a must have pick. Already now it is really good imo, if anything a few traits need some shaving.

Dead or Alive

• now clears all condis when it procs

This is the only trait I feel that kind of fails at what it is supposed to do. Right now most of the time this just makes condis tick for 1 or 2 more seconds and you still die. Especially since poison affects the heal. Beside this change I would also improve other traitlines and especially core skills.

Mending

• now physical skill

On my Mark

• now removes all boons from the target

Shake it off

• now cleanses 2 conditions instead of just one

Berserker heal should be seperated from PvE and heavily buffed for PvP. The stances trait should not increase duration (people just stop focusing anyway when the stance is poppee) but also decrease cooldown of the stance skills by 20%.

I do like the on my mark suggestion. At the moment the skill is so kitten useless as with most of the other utilities offer terrible synergy and awful actives. The best utilities are the defensive ones.

wow another thread of good suggestions on how to fix warrior that anet will ignore.

good post bud, but you’re wasting your time.

What he said.

^ Basically, A-Net entire team doesn’t give two kittens on warrior. If anything good in PvE/PvP happens to em where they aren’t might banner duty they will get nerfed into the ground without a moment’s notice. I’d be surprised if A-Net even gave a single post to acknowledge all the thought ppl put in, but they don’t.

PS. In case people forgotten, warrior once had frenzy give 4s quickness and took 4s debuff of +100% incoming damage. This took half a year to fix, A-Net doesn’t care until no one players warrior anymore and they’ll buff “Kick” to compensate for it.

Bezerker is damage , condi , and survivability line. There r 3 traits for each aspect. One in each tier and they are all usable. Berserker is not the problem. The problem is the rest of the warrior is a mess ( defense is ok but not great). The lines either have no synergy withing themselfs or they have “must have traits” in the same tier.
