Guild Wars 2

Why would you nerf the primal burst and make it level 1? The tool tip isn’t even updated either. This nerf to warrior primal burst now makes condition builds against warrior in berserk mode stronger.. You can’t clear the conditions fast enough, you’re better just running core warrior now instead of the elite spec. I don’t understand this illogical nerf… this was definitely not a balance to Berserker. I would’ve taken a Arc Divider range nerf , or adding an ICD to Rousing resilience , maybe even a adrenal heal nerf but to nerf the primal burst… Theres literally no reason to go berserker mode if its level 1 burst.

Just another idiotic change. Considering most of the new elite specs are condition based…such a surprise right… berserker is going to have a terrible time sustaining through it. Basically what anet is saying is, buy PoF and use the new elite specs.

Anet is preparing GW for the expansion. If you don’t buy the expansion then there’s no way that you’ll keep up. HoT anyone?

The devs show off spellbreaker and people instanly cry overpowered and how it makes core warrior more obsolete, then the devs introduce a change to make core warrior more relavent and people still cry.

Ya just can’t win huh?

Core warrior at its core is obsolete.

All warrior is basically obsolete

Well once they get their money.. they better fix this nonesense…

The balance.. was so bad, I bet who ever gave the ok must have shed a tear but had to look away in despair..

No? didn’t think so

It literally makes no sense. and this is Proof showing that they are making condition builds the go to these days. They consistently nerf power builds , now how will a power berserker fight a condition build ? if going in berserker mode basically makes you weaker? None of the traits got updated to compensate for this? And you basically gotta land every burst skill now. So much counter play added in just changing 1 trait.

Ok actually… i see now. I see why they did it. Spellbreaker Fullcounter is a Level 1 burst skill, They only have 2 adrenaline bars.. They basically made berserker lvl 1 burst skill cause Spell breaker is level 1 burst skill. so going back to what Little Howl said… They are just preparing Spellbreaker and making it more favorable than Berserker . I see…

Hadi this is planned obsolescence and a prop to encourage sales of the next expansion. By largely invalidating primal bursts they make Spell Breaker more appealing and the obvious choice.

Sales matter , money talks and balance walks.

I’m thinking about getting my PoF Ultimate Edition refunded after this update. I loved my warrior, and have since launch, but this balance patch ruined it, and I can’t see it improving.

Yea otherwise I do not see a reason why power berserker is nerfed when they already are barely decent at burst. The level 1 burst changes is too significant of a cost and nothing else to compensate the amount lost.

:| sigh … how to move away from the greatsword meta, you make it bad.

But you can still use level 3 bursts on berserker. You can ONLY use level 1s on spellbreaker.

You can now only use level 1 bursts on berserker. Primal bursts count as only one bar of adrenaline.

You still have access to regular burst skills tho.

I think you misunderstood what he meant, what he is saying is that in Berserker you still have the option to do a lvl 3 burst by not going berserk mode whereas Spellbreaker has 2 bars although bursts only consumes lvl 1 bar of adrenaline.

Cause the ‘now’ middle ground, aka berserker, got completely swindled. Power users will have to resort to berserker gimmick builds or go back to vanilla now. You were forced to play berserker, now ur forced to not play berserker again…..its just back and forth all the time.
