Guild Wars 2

While talking on the forums is great and comparing builds is awesome as well, I think that quite a few threads lately have demonstrated a severe misconception with the GreatSword…

Hundred Blades hit numbers shows the TOTAL DAMAGE that has been done. The number at the end of a Hundred Blade sequence is not how much you hit for the last hit; rather, it is the total damage you have done over the entire sequence.

Please keep that in mind.

Also, it’s great to theorycraft, but unless you have a warrior at level 80 and have played out the particular builds you are talking about… refrain from posting your build as a viable one. Asking around for help or asking if your build is good is nice, but if you haven’t played a warrior, there is no reason you should be posting warrior builds lol…

Someone was actually stupid enough to believe it showed the damage from each of the individual hits?

Wow, I’m impressed by the sheer stupidity.

You’d be surprised… a lot of people think so.
They look at the numbers and don’t realie that the red bar above the enemy is going down by basically the same amount per hit lol…

People do the same thing with Flamethrower…

Hahahaha yea xD

Personally IMO the real amazing ability on GS is whirlwind. Highest dps* /Evasion and covers ground, with 8 sec cd when traited and 10 if not.

• Based on landing all 4 hits of Whirlwind

I want to show the builds I created but not enough people want to read it or judge it =\, so I don’t bother anymore. I loved theorycrafting with real testing/thoughts behind them.

More good stuff from this man. WWA> 100B. Might stacking love + evade + movement especially for PVP. Been preaching my love for WWA for some time now ^.^

Thanks man =D, i spend probably more time min/max-ing builds/skills/traits, that I almost know my warrior inside and out >.>

But yea, WWA is the only evasive/offensive skill warriors have. Low Cd + movement is even greater Bonus. I used to get mad at all the warriors running GS, until i realized how amazing Whirlwind was, and then i got shot down by many warriors saying that 100B was the real bang. I still think Almost every melee builds should have GS as their offset weapon just for WWA, with of course the exceptions of builds centered around other aspects (support, ranged, condition, Etc). Even when not specced, its DPS is great and its mobility is great package. The 1-2 sec time of evasion helps make more time for endurance/cd to regen and makes warriors able to spec more dps based and still be hard to kill.

Hah, if we were really going to get into we could bring up the fact that 100b can be used defensively as well because of such a short CD. ~ gasp ~

I agree that WWA is the best skill
Unfortunately, mobs aren’t always lined up against the wall…
Endure Pain + WWA into a zerg is SOO fun though

I assume you don’t use them together =P cause your wasting endure pain time when your already dodging ~.^

Haha yea I don’t use together. I whirlwind into the densest part of the crowd which pretty much stacks up might to near max on its own, then I endure pain and HB.
It’s amazing how many people will take it to the face.
Easy to do, epic lulz, and I do pretty well

If I want to play warrior a little more seriously, I’ll go for a Rifle roaming warrior or just abuse the terrain to pick off people in big fights xD

Yea, but The real fun for me is to Earthshaker into a group, pop Balance Stance, staggering blow and hammer shock everyone. Constantly Dodge/use CC on anyone I can, cause havok and Lots of DPS, and run out when hp starts to drop with Savage Leap and shield block + bulls rush will get you long away from the mess. IMO the most epic skill on a weapon has been Earthshaker for me =D (Seeing 5 Red Numbers over 7K+ each feels great) , followed closely by Leg specialist Hammer Shock and Watch as 5 People are squirming before I land Earthshaker on All of em =)
