Guild Wars 2

next patch

all warrior skills will be removed and replaced with a new skill

“kitten pants” where the warrior will automatically be feared by an enemy and have this skill auto-cast.

all warrior weapons will be replaced with “stick” which always glances

this was NOT a balance patch

Since Warrior is meant to be in downed state for the 90% of the match, I would say this is a huge buff

wow all these thread merges moving my answers with no context really is stupid xD

They will probably tone down the damage for the other specializations first, then buff what is needed. As the other posters said, I cannot fully agree more.

I, as someone that pvp A LOT, I haven’t done PvP in about two weeks now because warrior is my main, I enjoy the play style and it’s just “me”. Unfortunately, no matter how great I play, even a so-so skilled player can just use overpowered gimmick class mechanics to put them at the top. Hardly any counter-play…

Why can’t we actually get a benefit for landing a burst skill (which doesn’t really burst anymore). Like, remove the adren loss if the burst actually hits. As I see it, the warrior class is currently high risk and “okay” reward. DH, for example, is low risk high reward. Trueshot can hit for 8k… KS rarely even hits that as a zerker build and that’s the class’s core mechanic?

I know balance isn’t easy, but this is pretty bad… :/

In a way, all of this is helping me be more productive with my real-life skill sets, so I guess this is not too bad. :P

core classes are going to be fixed in more than one year, when most of the people buy the expansion. Marketting move you know…

we can throw rocks

Pretty much sums up the state of warrior/berserker at this point. The so-called masters of weaponry are left throwing rocks….

Especially from downed state.

Speak for yourself. I die twice.

Speak for yourself. I die twice.

I live! I die! I live again!

Such a shame too, my warrior is my oldest character and she is sitting on a bench waiting to be played. Went from warrior to Revenant due to so much survival, boons, and damage in the jungle. they really need to rework the Warrior. I love how Berserker plays but you get rolled so quickly by monsters/players.

The ones you are still seeing are the few stubborn who didnt move on yet.. but sooner or later they will reroll or just quit playing..

This

Every-time I play my warrior I seem to drive myself 1 more step in the direction of quitting. That last patch (nov 17 or whatever)…..totally screwed my graphics settings for the game and it looks and plays horrid now. I think my breaking point will be when people start kicking me from parties just for being a Warrior. Which won’t be too far into the future at the rate things are going…

I mean, if I was a jerk and didn’t give a kitten, I WOULD kick every warrior from my parties (pve/pvp/wvw/whatever). Just because I main one, and people who play enough warrior by now know their limitations and weaknesses. Even for a basic dungeon where they ran phalanx warrior (still useful), I would still kick them. But ONLY for the sake of lulz/perpetuating the stereotype/warrior trolling…cause jerks would do that! I’m not a jerk though so I would never do these things.

“NO WARRIORS” – I shed a virtual tear each time I see this on a lfg. Then someone comes up and steals it and sells it on the BL, only to discover its a warrior’s tear. Worth 1c. Anet will care when we cry 100 000 Warrior tears…cause 1g is worth a kitten. It will take some time but Anet will come to rescue the kitten. But ‘time’ is not something a Warrior has. We fight fiercer than any other profession, making our lives twice as short. And when our time runs out, and it will run out, we do not cry or panic or run. We discover the place we are going to die, and shed as much blood as we can before falling to the ground. And as we stare up into the sky and the shadows of our enemies start to tower over us, we grit our teeth and smile, cause fighting and dying for glory is what makes a true warrior.
