Ive tried it, without lyssa runes thats is a terrible idea.
It isn’t high burst damage. because your damage al together depends on RNG chance and if ur target has boons or not and how many. So the new builds are inferior to what we already had. I honestly feel like devs wanted to make it look like they were doing something but had no serious intention in doing something. Cuz if they realy wanted to fix warriors there is at least a dozen other things that have been suggested already on the forum that would have been better.

Sorry I dont want to be rude to OP or sound like I’m flaming devs im sorry but its the truth. As of right now I rather keep leg specialist and my weapon passives. Than try to adapt to something thats testing to be inferior to the builds we already had.

well im back from work , ill put it to test in PvP , i think it deserve it
you might forgot about Intelligence Sigil the 100% crit and the 7 seconds all boons from Lyssa Rune that will fuel Empowered trait and if the target has boons your eviscerate will hit even harder , which is the case with 90% of opponents .
but damage is not the only thing here , you get more survivability + condition removal.
It’s really a matter of what you’re giving up in order to gain boon hate. If you previously didn’t have 30 in Disc before, you’re going to notice the lack in overall DPS you have. The 25 point trait in Disc is pretty bad, as are the stat bonuses you get from the trait line. If you did have 30 points in Disc, you’ll have to ask yourself if the new Burst Mastery trait isn’t better for you (as a Hammer or a Longbow warrior, or both, that trait works way better than boon hate). Overall I just don’t see that trait being worth it. A lot of people on the warrior forums have been suggesting that boon hate get moved to the trait line’s passive, replacing the long running COMPLETELY USELESS burst damage increase. This is probably the best suggestion I’ve heard for it, though it’s going to be some time before any change like that happens. The devs are probably going to wait and see what people do with it, but overall I don’t see Destruction of the Empowered being used much in the future. Dogged March, however, is pretty good and will likely see itself used a lot in WvW (I would have preferred protection to regen though).
I run s hammer/longbow build in WvW and the Burst Mastery trait made it worth putting 30 in Disc but it is only worth it when you ways to increase your adrenaline in your build. Dogged marchs alright but I still prefer Embrace Pain when using Burst Mastery.
Be careful what you wish for, Anet might just give it to you “HoT”

I agree that burst mastery is great. I was already 30 point in discipline before patch. I can pretty much chain max bar burst now without even trying. I was depending on healing surge and signet of adrenaline pre-patch and now I could probably drop one on favor of something else.
I have more adrenaline now. My heal are better and my crits rate too (trait)
It’s far from being the ultimate warrior but I have been playing this for months now and I enjoy it a lot.
the new improvement we got.
