Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I’ve never really enjoyed the Berserker specialization, so often go back to vanilla power warrior. Here’s a short montage of me having fun with it – no great plays whatsoever, as I’m simply an average casual player, just some happy PvP fighting.

Hope you like it.

I agree, I really like Vanilla Warrior better, there is a lot more freedom of choice in how you build, even though its just not as strong as Berserker. I can live with that though, I am a mediocre player on my best day.

Its also a lot more relaxing to not be playing against the “zerk timer”, seems like a lot of players are pretty good at avoiding the glowing warriors out there.

Watched the vid, looked like fun!

For melee warrior I definitely prefer vanilla warrior.

Just dumb how useless axe f2 is…..and how mace has totally replaced it for all forms of fighting. Axe Mh or Oh has no place in a warrior build atm unless you run vanilla.

Then gs f2….is just wtf is this newb kitten lol. Arc divider, or whatever f1 is called, is a much better attack….harder to land and more satisfying when it does.
I just hate the aoe direction that melee warrior went with berserker traited…..like we’re the one class that doesn’t do that aoe crap, and now berserker is forcing it on us. Just lowers the skillbar and makes things very impersonal feeling. I wanna FEEEEEL the cleave of my weapon against their skin! Not see giant red circles.

I also don’t really like the traitings for our berserk line all that much…..they just seem underwhelming compared to other classes elite lines. The second tier is just lazy trait lining….you get a h eal when u hit 0% hp in berserk or you get a rather underwhelming torch buff (really the cooldown is the only thing good here) or a flat damage increase for ur berserker warriors that punishes taking stats other than berserker….its just really lazy. if you wanna do max damage you need the precision berserker gear gives you…even if you are way above the 100% crit rate. So you can’t augment that precision with vitality or anything like that…..kills ur build diversity.

Outside of that Gunflame is alot of fun though with berserker, I think thats the one thing that berserker does right…..Yolo burst builds. All the other berserker builds feel tacky and are too dependent upon “getting into and doing all ur damage while in berserker mode”.

Always at odds with the other trait lines these days as well…

I mean you can live without fast hands….but it only allows you to utilize strength line for burst type builds.
And you can’t get fast hands and strength…..thats not happening.
You can live without defense traitline depending but its really unfair if you don’t take defense lol…..I’d giveup my heal and all other external forms of heal just for the tank I can get from the defense line, ridiculous op line when it comes to sustain. Makes warriors really boring with our limited traitlines these days. We do get condi tho….so i guess that balances it out more or less in our case. Not that our condi is overly amazing or anyting given our lack of boonstrips and aoe stuns.

A rework of our downed abilities woulda been great tho with the berserker line…..missed opportunity. honestly i’d love it if I could take a damage buff in exchange for the remove my downed state. i don’t need downed state…I don’t want it……
Even if I didn’t get anything for removing my downed state I’d remove it anyways….dead anyways when im downed 80% of the time….more importantly i feel dead, being defeated in any situation.
