Guild Wars 2

“Warrior
Berserker’s Power: You are now required to hit with the burst skill. This will trigger in the same way as the trait Cleansing Ire.”

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Still good for pve, just got dumpstered for pvp.

I can’t even target thiefs half the time, let alone hit them. And they’re not the only class.

Sorry but you are doing it wrong, you should use the auto target/next target keys for cases like these.

Yes, but half the time they aren’t visible. And every time that happens I have to retarget. Is quite easy to forget you aren’t targeting when you just targetted them two seconds ago, and they’re not targeted two seconds later. Mesmers are the same way…Possibly even more so after the patch. Though I assume you can proc berserker’s power off their clones. Or at least I hope you can.

Point is, when you have to play whack-a-mole with half of the classes, it isn’t reliable to land a burst skill consistently. This is a grandmaster trait that gave you 20%damage after using a full adrenaline burst skill. I see no reason why it should be nerfed.

Now we’ll even need longbow to make full use of Berserkers powers. It’s like everything reverts back to longbow in the end. It’s the center of all things pvp warrior related.

Now that we have to hit to gain the buff… does the buff actually apply to the burst skill? We used to be able to cancel the burst and retain the buff, meaning the buff got applied before the strike, but now it applies after checking for a hit. So does that mean our bursts’ damage no longer is augmented by the trait?

Yep. Yet LB burst remains unchanged. Honestly I don’t see how else they’d fix this broken bug, it was way too OP the way it was. I’d just wish it’d grant the bonus the moment your adrenaline gets depleted after using a burst rather than right when you press the burst skill or having to hit someone with it, otherwise the only weapon that really benefits from this trait is LB.

I cant even get this beserker power trait to work with my longbow any more. I stopped using longbow for meanwhile since the trait DOES NOT even work with it at all now.
