Guild Wars 2

RT, According to the state of the game ( http://twitch.tv/guildwars2guru) that we warriors seems to be fine. As Jonathan thinks that the original purpose of warrior is a sturdy body. Then the CC abilities can forces others to bring BS spells rather than too much offensive spells or to be glass cannon.

Moreover , they also think that each class can counter warrior as long as they know skill manchenics of warriors. This means warriors have half to half chance to win the batter for each class.

Is that all from this SOTG? I post this thread in order to confirm the above viewpoint, as i cant find any word record of this SOTG therefore i wish some one can go to listen it and check my information. The warrior part starts at 4:20. The link has been post as well in the above part.

Maybe the problem is that the warrior is unstoppable because now people can’t afford to ramp up enough burst to take them down: they’d have to sacrifice condition removers, essential to survive in the meta.

Even then, though, I don’t think either warriors or anyone else should become a burst-check class, like “I you can’t deal X damage or more in Y seconds, you won’t be able to down it”, except for bunkers. That would reduce build diversity.

I play a Soldier Necromancer who uses power damage and vulnerability stacking to take down warriors, they usually don’t slot ENDURE PAIN because they need balance stance and berserker stance to survive the meta.

I laugh when they pop Berserker Stance, then die a second later because they didn’t expect me to take them out AND be as tanky as I am.

You get 40% cooldown on focus? And you never swap sets?

Don’t listen to him, he’s the resident troll. Most of what he says isn’t probable or factual and anything he’s ever suggested is OP.

As for the war, the condi meta will change and if you listen to Jonathan’s last comment on the H/LB war, he hints at it actually being OP but stops himself. They’re very sensitive when it comes to the subject of the war.

He’ll get a drop in his regen, that needs to happen, but I think as they mull over traits his more OP defense line will be rearranged properly. They’re not coming out and saying they’re going to nerf the war because people just started playing bunker/CC wars. It’ll happen though, it needs to.

No it doesn’t. People just don’t know how to handle regen.

We duel extensively and I’ve seen many many good builds and amazing players go up against each other. The common mace/shield+GS with regen signet EASILY gets taken out by a thief or any other class that just poisons or does a lot of burst.

Honestly, a condition regen bunker ranger using that perma regen setup is tougher to fight than a warrior. It has evades, PROTECTION, crazy heals, crazy condition removal, etc.

People just need to learn to play and accept that some builds will beat them if they aren’t set up for it.

These regen warriors pose no trouble for me at all.

Fairly certain he’s not talking about WvW.

I’d admit that they didnt mention something specific about how to change warriors, but i dont think this shoud be a hint of nerfs to wars. In contrast they think people can kite kite kite warriors when they are activing berserker stance or something else. Warriors will be counted by other players skills. This is what i have learnt from their words.

However, it is possible that wars will meet some slight nerfs or changes like necs to be made more balance if they really need to be.

People need to stop saying certain classes need nerfs. They do not. It is certain specs within a class that need to be adjusted. For warriors, CC regen will get a hit at some point as it should.

Have u listened to the SOTG? If you do , you will find that both of them is following what anet want to be… So I dont think there will be a nerf but some adjust may be.

If by that you mean remain as it is because it is a viable counter to condi bunkers that have trouble out dpsing the heal (mostly due to lack of wanting to stick poison on) and rarely run their CC escapes. If a warrior is CC’ing you and you can’t escape, good luck with a CC engi or a CC mesmer. Especially if they decide to bring perplexity runes.
