How about you ADDRESS the quote instead of arbitrary dismissing it as “moaning” because you can’t deal with it?

Where’s the moaning? That I compare it to elementalist? That I accurately put up damage figures and crit percentages?

Come on, give me a break.

The problem is your being FAR from accurate.

In a Mace build mace isn’t your DPS! You simply use mace to get+50% crit chance.
So in actuality you’ll be sitting at almost 70% crit chance, higher if your team / you are bringing fury. Considering you have great reflexes and an understanding of frame mechanics you can apply that stun every 8 seconds, for a duration of 4 seconds. That’s a 50% uptime.

You mention being a mosquito against a mesmer / necromancer while they ‘molest’ your team.

A great teamfight will take advantage of removing an enemy player from a game. We run a thief, his achilles heel right now are necromancers and to a larger extent – burning.

We fight a lot of teams that bring Necro / Mesmer. You know our counter? I sit on the necromancer essentially removing them from the fight, and our thief has his way with the mesmer. Bring in our necro and he can chain fear the mesmer or chain fear the necro I’m on so I can swap targets again.

It’s about working as a team, Ele’s bring AoE healing, some conditions and a little bit of burst. Warriors bring complete lockdowns of an opponent, an AoE res, stability stomps and decent damage. Different strokes for different teams, but each work in their own respect.

I was addressing a specific build. So the crit percentage and damage was accurate.

The rest you write about might be true though, with a team that make their plays revolve around a warrior as a centerpiece. (ie; a team that is balanced and has practiced extensively around the warrior)

The numbers were right, but the adjusted numbers based on playstyle was wrong.

However, there is hope in the world.

I can see the argument on both sides of this disagreement. On one side, Defektive has come up with a completely viable build, assuming your playing with a team who is competent, on the other, you have the remaining 95% of the sPVP-tPVP community who plays the Warrior in a not so intellectual enviorment, hotjoins-soloque etc., who see the weaknesses of the Warrior class full front, with it’s lack of sustain etc.

Overall I like what Defektive has done for the Warrior, you can’t blame him for trying to help out the community by posting viable builds and showing you what they can do in a high level setting. His statement was best. If you don’t like stun builds, don’t play stun builds, it really is that simple.

No, you are not seing anything, the other side of the argument is that the team needs to build themselves and make strategies around having the warrior in the team, wich most teams are not going to do because they can just invite another class better.

Actually, I am seeing that, I just said that, whether you think another class is better at a certain task is your opinion, it is not fact.

I want to quit too bro.
stunned a thief, he teleported 1200 range away……and stood there stunned for 2 seconds.
wtf.
this game sucks.

Yeah this is a whole separate issue here. WHY do instant skills work while stunned when the definition of stun is unable to move or use skills? Feels broken.

anet can kitten my kitten.
They do nothing about broken kittens. NOTHING.

Then play another class so you can whine in their forums instead of this one.

Defektive, I think it’s great you have a tourny viable build+team. Congrats, keep on trucking. But there are plenty of issues with the class, regardless of how successful you are in tPvP.

Yes, many of the issues can be “played around” using certain builds, teams, and comps. I liken it to that huge pothole down my street. I know it’s there, and I veer to avoid it, so I can get to work every day without issue. But the fact remains that there’s a giant friggan gaping hole in the road that should have been fixed long ago.

Some moves are over-telegraphed (ex: earthshaker, final thrust). Others are buggy (ex: rush, staggering blow). We lack any real self-sustain without speccing and gearing for shout heals.

It wouldn’t hurt to have some deeper mechanics either, a revamp and expansion of the Adrenal system. I’d love to see more complexity, an F2 based on offhand for example.

All of the things you just listed are things I’ve been pushing for for a long time. Huge telegraphs = bad (this is why I play Asura), more sustain other than very select things (aka sustain baked into the class). F2s based on two handed weapon vs. double 1handed weapons. Inversing Adrenaline Surge, bumping our other heals. Giving us different types of conditions or condition coverage in order to make condi builds viable.

But it takes time for things to change, and until that time comes the best I / we can do is point out the issues and provide constructive feedback in a consistent and logical manner.

Until that time comes, we can make the best of what we have now and hope ArenaNet is making the best decisions.

I’d rather try my best and fail, than get upset over the state of the class and quit / reroll / take a break.

Fwiw, I run my Sword/Mace Mace/Shield build in solo queue tournies all the time with great success.

Inb4 you find something negative to respond with.

….

My apologies. I dont actually follow you (or anyone else, nothing personal), so I didn’t know you thought the same way. My opinions are generally based on my personal experience in the trenches.

I don’t get upset over the state of the class, so much as I get frustrated over the continuing state of the class. People screw up all the time, balance devs are no different. It’s when said screw ups go unresolved for prolonged periods of time that I get irritated. Despite that, I’ve tried to remain constructive as opposed to whining for it’s own sake.

For example, I feel Mending should be made to function like Consume Conditions. I’m not always a fan of “cloning” abilities but in this case it fits.
-Healing Surge: Heal value normalized. Reduce CD by 2 seconds every time you fill an adrenal bar (except fury sig/zerker stance).
-Healing Signet: Small buff to the passive HP/s, and the active CT.
-Cleansing Ire triggers when you gain a bar of adrenaline.
-Baseline Adrenaline Passive: Gain 1 tick of regen for each strike of adrenaline you earn.
-Defense, Adrenal Health: Increases baseline Adrenal Regen by a small amount
-Defense, Thick Skin: Toughness increases, as health decreases.
-Defensive Bursts, Defense Grandmaster: Burst skills grants you protection for 1.5 seconds per bar of adrenaline spent.

I have a lot more ideas (which I’ve posted) but those are a few.
