Guild Wars 2

any ideas what it might be?

Is there an article to go with that pic?

Looks like a white heart at a 45 degree angle (when zoomed in 500%). Could be a place holder for any number of things. There have been plenty of threads in the past suggesting there should be an F2 for a defensive ability. Could be that.

Nvm, about the article. Found it.

Im so excited about this! Hopefully its something defensive/passive so that we can use weapons other than longbow to benefit from cleansing ire. It could also be an offhand burst & extra one for two handeds. Perhaps it wont spend all bars who knows?

finally they improved warrior in terms of gameplay and mechanics
it doesnt hurt anyone in terms of this, it will only bring higher skill cap and make the class more fun that’s it.

not sure why would any one against it, as in engis ele, etc all have pretty high skillcap not sure why would they QQ about warrior getting higher skill cap

let’s hope it’s real or maybe it’s part of the new second class thingy.

now i think about it
Don’t get your hopes up yet

it might just a weapon swap icon..like show your second weapon sets f1 skill =.=

another possibility it’s that it’s the new second class thing which you only get access to when you switch to that ( give up your current F1s etc)

basically give up your current one f1 per weapon set, you gain 2 F skill at once or something like that lol

1 extra key wont change much unless its 3rd wep swap lols. And yeah it might be linked with specializations considering the fact that they was unable to use that in the vid. Its probably another burst with huge windup based on offhand and second one for 2h weps. Whatever, im still going to main reve but that change will help war a bit for sure.

I’d love to have triple swap XD

the new F2 for longbow is water field, enforcing LB more and more lol.

jokes aside, i hope its something with utility not just pure damage.

Well tbh i think warrior should have 3rd wep swap as master of weapons.

^^^
tbh i think warrior should have Fast Hands as default as master of weapons.

It could be as simple as having access to the F1 skills of both weapon sets, regardless of which one you have equipped.

Thinking this might just be a change in the making for Warrior (not specialization). I’d think with the change to the profession mechanics that specializations are supposed to be getting, they wouldn’t simply add features to the base of the profession as the specialization…that’d be more of an upgrade than a specialization and from previous discussions and news, I was under the assumption these specializations were not upgrades.

Warriors heavily depended on stances in GW1, so maybe the F1 and F2 is an offensive and defensive stance mechanic for the specialization?

They still do, at least most builds that isn’t shout bow.

They need to buff physical utilities cool down wise

Going off the pic I think we could see off hand burst skills now. Which would fit pretty well if we get dagger or torch for the specialization. And it would definitely open up a lot more options and it would interesting to see if 2h weapons would get two different burst skills.

Did they say in the video “warriors are getting F2 skill” ? That might be just a new interface for addrenaline skills when you swap.

Whats the point of f2 there then?

F2 hype train! I hope it’s good!

Maybe the new specialization will add a second/off hand weapon burst skill?

Maybe I’m wrong here, but I was under the impression that the new F2 was going to be a defensive ability. Although, I’d be up for a second offensive offhand/secondary offensive ability too!

Also, 3rd weapon swap would be Heaven-sent!

maybe itll be an offhand burst skill11111

It’s going to be something useless that warriors can use only on the new PvE map. Calling it now.

Maybe F2 is the offhand version of “F1” – OFFHAND AXE YOUR USEFUL NOW

Because 33% IAS/IMS was just to good to give up? Honestly warriors used stances for that sole purpose, rush/sprint to cancel when you start taking heavy fire so you didnt die in frenzy. Unless youre talking prenerf prage. In the case of that it was just to good to give up a IAS and IMS in 1 skill that lasted longer than its cooldown.

Stances offered damage faster or being able to move faster. Gw1 warrior was just about damage in the most efficient ways possible that just happened to be with stances, namely frenzy.

Wont happen. Keep dreaming. On the other hand why they removed such awesome animation? http://youtu.be/FRVfGUYbSGo?t=30s

Combu shot looks like a kitten in comprasion..

Silly people, there is not Warrior F2 skill. That will be the specialization button (Maybe F2) to switch to your specialization once it is unlocked. They are playing HoT and notice it has a ‘Lock’ on it. Dulfy is speculating in his article. Not facts. They stated originally, you will be able to switch to your characters specialization once unlocked, much like a weapon swap; when you are out of combat. That is where the switch will take place. Key press.

Wow, dude. That DOES look cool! I like it!

Maybe they changed it because the cast time was too long?

I think they removed it because it caused huge FPS drops when used by multiple warriors… I’m not sure though.

Why it would cause huge fps drops? Its like saying staff ele causing fps drops with all their aoe spam. And actually it looks like barrage with fire arrows. Maybe it make it way back as f2. Yeah nope, war cannot have decent looking animations.

Wrong. Other classes have F2 button functionality already.
