this is fair and blanced.

Congrats, you got hit by one of the most telegraphed skills in the entire game.

You’ve gotta be trolling

edit: I’m saying that because in team fights, you don’t have unlimited dodges. If this warrior has seen you’ve dodged twice, its game over.

Failed to a Kill Shot. So pro….

I can’t say I have a problem with this, because I feel like you give up a lot with the rifle and with how highly telegraphed the skill is.

One concern I might have is Frenzy. Does frenzy speed up the activation of kill shot?

havoc.6814:

Failed to a Kill Shot. So pro….

I feel like you are very biased about warriors. Hey, I play one too, it was my first toon, but don’t act like kill shot is impossible to hit. When I played greatsword/rifle for fun, it really was not hard to land kill shots if you weren’t being focused. However, mine never hit that hard. This is way out of line.

You do not need to shame yourself in public for it. Next time you will notice.

It’s not out of line. It takes a lot of specialized building to reach those numbers – the warrior sacrifices a lot to get there. The skill has an incredible telegraph, and the warrior is a sitting duck while channelling it. I don’t like the skill either, because every warrior I’ve seen building for it is terrible and easily slaughtered.

I’ve actually been hit by it also, but I just laughed at myself for not seeing it, because it is really telegraphed, what with the long wind up, the going down on one knee, the neon sign over the warriors head, etc. Coming here to QQ about it is kinda over the top.

I’m not at all biased about warriors. I just hate all of the troll posts from people who cry nerf to things that are easily avoided just because they don’t understand how to fight the profession. I main a warrior, but I also have all of the other professions but necro and ele (couldn’t talk my self into buying more character slots since having lots of alts is punishing in this game). I kill warriors easily on thief, mesmer, and engineer. Really easily. Super easily. Ranger not so much, but that’s because I suck really bad on my ranger.

Mabye this is because I was playing an ele, and I have to work my rear end off just to survive(being this was a group fight). He saw that my endurance was gone, and I didn’t have my air 4(reflect projectiles) available. I’m not really complaining about the warrior necessarily, but the fact that this can happen.

Wait what? Your mad a character geared and built for full out damage was able to one shot another squishy player after having seen him use his reflects and evades? Its called counter play.

Eles have the fastest untelegraphed burst in the game. You’ve gotta have quick fingers, but you can easily burst someone down in less than the time it takes the warrior to kneel down and cast kill shot. Also churning earth and fire grab can and do oneshot people.

You got hit once in the thick of battle…understandable, but next time you should be expecting it. Try to save air/earth 4 and be aware of enemy positions.

do you have 916 toughness or something?

In PVP? I don’t think so.

But yeah, that warrior traited to be glassy. He kills you with one hit in 3 seconds, you can kill him with 5 skills in 3 seconds as a burst scepter elementalist.

Elementalist burst is not about hitting 1 very strong spell/skill but rather chaining soft~hard hitting spells. Just to be fair, it doesn’t work the same way in WvW though.

This would be a very squishy warrior. He is obviously traited/geared for the highest amount of power and crit damage possible. He would die to anyone in seconds.

I use to see these kinds of people back in my WOW days in pvp. They would be talented for the max possible damage in full pve damage gear. Vs me in pvp gear they stood no chance and after they were recognized they were immediately locked down on sight and didn’t get another kill the entire duration of the BG.

Possibly OP but remember its fairly easy to avoid as long as you have sight of the warrior and you can lock him down and kill him fairly easily considering his build and gear will leave no extra room for toughness or vitality.

Auesis.7301:

Congrats, you got hit by one of the most telegraphed skills in the entire game.

It would be the most telegraphed skill, if you get a little mark on top of your character. In a teamfight (3v3) you cant allways have an eye on the warrior in 1500 range. And you know what, this game isnt balanced arround 1v1

Congratulations – you got killed by a 1 trick pony that can’t do anything else and can’t support his team’s victory AT ALL considering the build he has is only viable for one thing : sniping people that aren’t paying attention.

His build / KS is fine – just be more aware – either of the incoming shot or of the fact that he had to make huge sacrifices to get to that result and in ALL other circumstances is practically a free kill.

Kill Shot kills

I agree with the OP, killshot clearly needs to heal instead of dealing damage.

It’s called killshot for a reason.

I learned this lesson the same hard way as you:

during a match, recognize glass cannons and when a teamfight occurs, focus them first. In the fight you can’t count on the fact you will be able to counter them, so you have to decide who you want dead first.

pop air 4 for your reflect, especially if he frenzied the cast, in that case GRATS ON THE ELE 1 SHOT.

This as well as two threads w/ the title something like “warrior blah blah need nerf” is what I see the most when I come into the forums. Convinced more non warrior players/mains post in here than warrior players haha.

I’m not really complaining either. I don’t sit around all day thinking about that 17k, and complain how unbalanced the game is. In fact, I thought it was funny. I do believe it is over the top regardless. Reducing the damage and increasing the passive defenses of these types of builds seems appropriate.

edit: I’m saying that because in team fights, you don’t have unlimited dodges. If this warrior has seen you’ve dodged twice, its game over.

No necessarily, you were just ill prepared and got killed for it.

You could have mitigated this in one of the following ways

Air 4 with a focus

Earth 4 or 5 with a focus

Water 5 with a focus would have dazed the cast

Air 5 would have interrupted the cast.

Arcane shield would have blocked the shot

Mist form would have invul’d the shot.

Saving dodges would have mitigated the shot.

Scepter 3 in earth and air would have made the shot miss
.
This seems to have been an error mostly on your part because you have all the tools to be able to deal with this, if you look for it.

If you run into a group fight and have no area awareness then this will happen.
If you go in with a glass cannon not prepared to deal with high amounts of damage then this happens.

A thief would have killed you just as fast if not faster and you would never have had the time to react.

Fun in a hot-joins. Ice Bow can kill bunker guardians with the 5 (unbreakable stun) + 4 combo, the signet is a stun breaker that blinds your target, and the arcane aoe is a given for damage/blast finisher.

Ice bow is great for killing bunkers if they dont dodge, and dont have back up, though i will concede it does a nice chunck of damage. ( its not a fiery greatsword doe)

The signet is a stun breaker and a blind, great
So is mist form and arcane shield…they break stuns and help mitigate some damage.

You have a blast finisher on staff already..and Im pretty sure people on your team also have blast finisher’s..
If you are trying to run around solo as a squishy staff isn’t the best thing to have…
….though this is also hot join..soo….

I just wasted time typing this..

Fresh Air builds run with similar squishy stats (and utilities), and there are top players in solo queue running glass staff. I’m not sure why you typed that out either. Go ahead and make an Ele and try to perform well in the current meta of tanky-dps warriors & condi builds galore.

Edit: The signet also gives movement speed, positioning and all that junk.

Been on that boat.

There is a reason I went back to dagger/focus.
I hate the staff, compared to the other weapon sets I feel like it is inferior on the survival side when compared to having a focus on the offhand.

Secondly, yes, many top players do run fresh air builds, but they do not run the generic trait setup, their builds are tailored to being efficient in a tournament environment..

The signet does give movement speed, again that’s great. It wont help you survive a kill shot as well as the shield or mist form. That seems to be the new problem people are having.

speaking of staff though..

You could have reflected the kill shot.
Or blinded
or knocked him back
or dodged..

Over 1k hours on my warrior, man that’s one long month <@:)

Yeah, a s/f ele has multiple ways to deal with a kill shot outside of dodging, probably more than most. In fact, your magnetic wave on earth focus #4 would even reflect the shot back at the warrior, which would both expend their adrenaline and throw the damage back in their face… assuming their full glass as well, that could really put them on their heels.

Learn how to play don’t come here and ask for nerf you obviously calling attention but your ss and post sold you out I don’t go to thief, mesmer, engi, necro thread when they killed me instead I analyze how i lose against them so Nxt time I won’t be an easy kill.

It’d be nice to think that Kill Shot, with its animation, is easy to predict and evade. In a 1v1, it is (though the projectile speed means you have to predict when the projectile is going to fly and then evade accordingly, something that is much more easily said than done, but still possible). In any fight with 5 or more people, though, Kill Shot is just another animation among thirty others that often just isn’t going to be seen, especially if the warrior is flanking correctly. In WvW, I’d be pretty impressed if you could see a Kill Shot among five hundred projectiles and animations flying around.

So what’s the issue? You can be grateful for warriors not running hammer in wvw. Every killshot used is one earthshaker or combustive shot you have to deal with. Rifle on it’s own also lacks a blast finisher aswell as mobility or proper lockdown. The self root means that you will be pretty immobile in ZvZs which can make you easy prey.

In tpvp? How much more do you think a rifle warrior will contribute to a teamfight compared to a hambow? Mind you that hambow can actually fight on point, due to his skills beeing just made for that, while rifle warrior has to stay back, because his traits, weapons and utilities usuall make him pretty easy prey. Also when it comes to “bombarding a point from safe distance” other classes can do pretty much the same. While they may not oneshot you with one of their skills, they are likely to bring you pretty close to dying within the time a riflewarrior would take.

Suck it up buttercup.

Warriors are broken. They are simply stupid at the moment, they’re ruining pvp.

But seriously complaining about kill shot? A lab mice tied to a mouse (a computer one) can avoid that by clicking randomly on the screen..
