Guild Wars 2

Simple 1-10 rating how happy are you + what spec + spvp/wvw/pve?

Myself – 8.9/10 – Hammer/gs – WvW

7, we need better healing skills.

7-8

When I play with my axe, I feel like I’m fighting for my life. If only I had more control! looks at hammer and cringes

2/10 – Any build I could think of over last 3 hours – sPvP

9.5 – Hammer/Sword-Horn – WvW. Still, too much bad traits, but gameplay is very-very ok, at least today.

2/10, my build is now obsolete.

0/10 now Spvp is full of mesmers and necros

bad patch as always

3 or 4/10 hammer is still getting wrecked by blinds which are even stronger now. No heal changes, main and axe nerf, (worthless in pvp now) offhand axe buff for SPVP only (cuz it’s OP in WvW/PVE lol), damage nerfs, with defense trait line and discipline trait line too condensed with all the good traits. They need to be spread out more to other trait trees. Choosing hammer trait (which makes the hammer) or cleansing ire (which is now mandatory) when the strength line, and tactics line not having enough good traits.

The hell is up with Shield Mastery and missile deflection still being separate traits, and now in the same tier.

Berserkers might and HF now I reachable just like DOTE was made last patch. They moved to it to mastery after they realized nobody was going 30 points into a bad trait line, I now feel the same about Beserkers might and the STR. Tree.

They haven’t touched our heals which Arena Net specifically stated that Healing Signet is terrible and needs to be buffed (200hp/sec at 80 with a 3k active is laughably the weakest heal in the game).

Frontline fighter with no access to sustainability. Lol.

I am happy with the after cast changes (lol), the endure pain change, the longbow change, and cleansing ire, (even though its pretty much mandatory now) but that’s about it.

Cant agree making melee dps same as easy mode range dps so 0.001/10…

2/10, my build is now obsolete.

This…my build no longer exists and everything else I’ve tried still pales in comparison to what I had.

With warrior I’d say 5/10. If it were a potential candidate for sex, you wouldn’t want to have sex with a 5. The only reason you would go for a 5 is if there’s truly no other means to acquire a 8 or 9. This is how I feel with the game right now, and from the looks of it people are getting ready to leave for something else lol. The devs have continuously brought hopes up only to kitten on them when the time comes.

Even more interesting, they decided to cut ranger even more. That whole forum is in flames as well. So if you think warrior is bad atm, try ranger. If you came from ranger, then yeah I can see how you feel the despair.

1/10

Have been since everyone else learned how to dodge the Warrior animations (after the brawn nerf). Need major overhaul for Warrior profession to be viable at anything besides poking AI Mobs in PvE.

Now, I am not saying the Warrior is absolute horrible in sPvP, but every other class can do whatever the Warrior does at least 50% better and safer. You can do okay in sPvP (hot joins) with a Warrior, but in tPvP…. we still have no place and are losing are spot as top DPS in PvE pretty quickly.

9/10 - http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAS5ejcOxutQ+OMxBE0DNkLqCjifQ8UKmDAA-jkyAYLBZyCAVAmQAl8KiGbZsIas6HM15iq1nAejioVLDAzCA-w - WvW

3/10….

We need more sustain…

+1.

WvWers got some decent toys and love this round.

Nice custom you have there. I don’t think this is a solo wvw build though? That’s a dumb amount of CC and it seems hilarious.

9/10 wvw with sword/mace and longbow full zerker gear

decent condi removal now, 25% movement trait, …

Before patch it was somewhere around 4. It felt like all it needed was some sustain and some fixing in the stay on target department along with some traits being completely removed and changed to something useful “I’m looking at you revive crap get kitten traits”

After this anticipated patch, I feel insulted at it’s best. So -10 out of 10.

0/10 sPvP warrior finaly dead… good job ArenaNet, warr is useless

I dunno’. I haven’t played enough with the changes to be 100% sure, but I’m thinking 8.5/10. :P

My only complaint is that, apparently, the Whirling Axe buff wasn’t transferred over to WvW.

1/10, blind spam now makes us completely obsolete.

If you want to play a burst DPS class, play thief. They hit just as hard and have 10x the mobility and survivability.

1 not happy with the changing of berserker power from adept teir to grandmaster

I have to say, im in between, so a 5 or 6 over 10 for me.

My lazy dungeon running build is done with. The change did that. And likely I need to spend currency on new armor stats or such. kinda annoying…

However I have to admit, I’m kind of excited to see if i can remake it or make a new, lazy, runner build with differing properties. Warrior has always been my primary and im kind of excited to be tinkering with her build again after so long.

actually no, its abit different from the older leaked version. so let me read it 1st

9/10

expected the worst, was pleasantly surprised. opened up multiple new builds for me without nerfing any of my current builds.

Same here, looks like I wont be using the greatsword anymore, my longbow is untouched for the most part if anything it was buffed, and it looks like Im gonna take on the hammer. The only problem for me is that I was using armor geared towards def and Im gonna have to switch now.

Before the patch peak burst damage on pure glass builds was too high, however these changes hit the hybrid tanky builds too hard.

Dissapointed offhand axe damage increased only in spvp and not in wvw. The 5 people playing spvp on the planet are probably very excited /eye roll

3- Yeah, we got cleansing ire, and more reasons to use burst skills, fun, but we got NO sustain added. And thats the #1 thing we really need IMHO.

ok eff this. i can tolerate everything, bp hf to 30. i mean speed increase.swiftness are nice not to mentiom reduced F1 cd on tree now with trait which gives damage increase
but that leg specialist 5sec icd killed it for it. no…just…no..

@above sustain can be obtained through other ways, constant swiftness and 25% speed i would call those sustains

Actually it’s still complete crap in sPvP, you can have it.

8 / 10

I use Sword/Axe + Longbow, and get mobility, ark speed, condition dmg, raw dmg, range, CC, condition removal, and some things

However, i was in sPvP and another classes continues mixing bunker/regen/perma stealth/condition spamer/etc… Warrior show himself underpowered.

-1/0 Bind is better then warrios

9/10. Using Mace/Sword + Longbow CondiControl. Absolute juggernaut.

5/10 I have to use complete zerker set now to hit as hard as I did in my knights & cleric set prepatch. I like the 25% run speed though.

gs/rifle spec was 10/0/20/30/10 now I’m not sure

Im putting away my greatsword

I’ll give it a 6. It opened some build diversity for pvp but with the change to blinds and the annoying trait placements I’m pretty meh about it. No real sustained buff for the loss of either of the damage buff traits that anyone took in combination.

I’m sure wvwers are rejoicing, not that your build really matters there.

0/10, I had a nice wvw build

9/10. Nothing’s perfect, and people need to stop kittening about a lack of heals. Trait 30 in tactics, grab some healing power and have at it. :P

I love how everyone rating it highly is using some form of conditions/longbow. Thanks god.

7/10, lost out on 15% damage because of the change of moving Berserker’s Power. Kind of feel like Arenet wants me to go all out dps and investing 30 points in that trait line is a no no.

8/10 in spvp, i dont do wvw and pve
the last build i made yesterday:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJASRjgOxu1QyQMxBE0DNsK4C1D7AAAgUBxA-ToAg0CnIiRFjLGTMyYsxMKYZB

The real problem in pvp IMO: we are too easy to dodge, other things are just L2P issues

8/10. Down from 9/10 since they pushed the axe chain attack damage to last chain attack.

4/10

Berzerker’s Might is done, Leg Specialist is moot, and my backup GS build which went through a nerf already with Frenzy is now even worse thanks to moving Berzerker’s Strength to Grandmaster. I’ve got no ideas on new builds yet, and I’m genuinely discouraged in even bothering with all the much needed buffs going into other classes I play. I’ve got two other 80’s and a couple 30-somethings so I’ll just let my Warrior gather dust while I play with something else.

They totally screwed gs + two 1 handed weapon combos. Instead of fixing the “weak” classes and the fundamental problems with lack of utility diversity and binding skills to weapons, the 2 people doing balancing decided to just nerf all the other classes to lower the bar. I suspect that with these radical changes the game population will drop even further, as many people will be too frustrated with their working builds suddenly changing and trait options being so unwisely changed.
