Warriors damage ???
Bull Charge, Frenzy and Hundred Blades. Nothing to see here. Learn to dodge. If that Thief would have made him miss, he would have owned that Warrior in the next 5 seconds and the Warrior would have been unable to do anything.

Pretty much this. I’ve run this in PvP before and basically the only time it works is when people can’t see the horribly obvious twirl before bull’s charge and don’t dodge out of the way or if I get extremely lucky. Also, in order to get that kind of damage you have to spec as a glass cannon. Good luck getting away alive if this combo misses…
What about it?
You have no toughness and you didnt do anything at all. You stood there like a vegetable if that thief was you. Not a blind, not an immobilize, nothing.
L2P issue.
In most of these games the warrior archtype is typically the main character while the thief is typically his jealous anti-hero rival who eventually learns to respect him. Now, some stories have the dashing thief hero archtype like Zidane from Final Fantasy IX or Robin Hood, but there are far more Conans than there are Robin Hoods. Warrior is just a star class. Now, sometimes mages have their time to shine like Harry Potter or Twilight Sparkle, but are usually relegated to a supporting character.
As for the video, well, here’s a novel idea: Sometimes you’re just outplayed. There will always be someone out there better than you.
I don’t know what 7 and 9 skills are, but I would assume they are break stuns since they aren’t black’d, so you could have got out without getting all of that damage.
100 Blades is a PvE focused move (since you can’t move unless you want to interrupt the Channel attack). Yes, it can be powerful in PvP if you pop up some cool downs and go nuts. However this also means that your opponents doesn’t have a form of Stun / Immobilize removal (depending on the Warrior set up skill that was used), they don’t dodge your anti-movement attack, don’t have their own response attack (like Disable, Stun, Knock), and don’t have any kind of damage immunity.
All things considered, 100 Blades did have its damage toned down some after Beta Weekend #1. Somewhere around the final days of Beta, its recast timer was slightly increased (though the Greatsword trait can reduce its timer down to the original timer). This is really about as good as it’s going to get on the 100 Blades subject. There were countless threads on the Beta forums about 100 Blades, but ArenaNet has mainly ignored them after making these adjustments.
Look the video.
Says the #2 spaming thief.
this almost proves what kind of ppl play the thief class.
Elementalist
Glass cannon thief with no defense standing inside HB, not dodging the initial burst of a GS Warrior, not using stunbreakers when KD’d.
Major L2P issues, nothing to see here.

I know pve isnt what the balance is focused for but 5 warrior with great sword are op in pve dungeons
@ Red Falcon, completely agree with you…seriously OP, learn2Play
@wookie slayer, not sure what your saying but are you trying to imply a 5 signet warrior is OP in dungeons?…lol…
(reply button not showing up for me for some reason :C)
What’s really op are thieves that don’t stun/root break.
About a week ago I tried a glass cannon build on my warrior just for fun and a thief downed me from full health in 1-2 seconds. His backstab hit me for just over 14k and the next attack after downed me.
Bull’s Charge + hundred blades + frenzy, you just need to active a balanced stance and dodge fast, or dodge when you see the bull’s charge. Then it is nothing to talk about, not like thieves heartseeker which they can spam about 5(?) times, and you can dodge two of em then if they make ~7k each thats still +20k damage you take – then you are pretty much screwed.
The damage is OP, but it’s so incredibly easy to counter….and the Warrior’s that run that build can be defeated by a strong wind…let alone a player xD
Once glass cannon beat another glass cannon. shocking.
I’m more in shock that the Warrior only did 14k on 100 blades.
I’m actually surprised someone let this horrible warrior land a HB on them with such a obvious setup.
I think the troll left, you can stop beating him to death.
One glass cannon destroys another, next topic please
