New traits will be coming out soon for all classes, 6/6/6.
New condition changes will be coming out soon for all classes.
We will get + 76 to each base stat instead of gaining attribute stats from choosing specific trait line(so no more +300 power from having 6 pts in strength for instance)
We will have less passive healing from healing signet and adrenal health minor trait(because of no healing power stat gain)
I have 5 warriors, i main warrior and i play only warrior(have lvl 2-3 of other classes for testing purposes). I mainly WvW, I was in Henge of denravi and now recently transferred to crystal desert. My ingame name is Hero Pride(main warrior).
I roam and zerg bust on warrior. I run multiple builds such as rifle/gs,hammer/gs, longbow/gs, longbow sword/wh etc….. all in wvw
I will lose my +30% condi duration from strength traitline when maxed out. (Okay i can deal with this)
I will have less condi pressure with my longbow(condition changes) when running a hybrid build of zerkers + celestial and full zerkers. ( I cannot deal with this)
I have cleansing ire proc on hit to cleanse condi, okay Longbow can proc it without hitting people. Im fine with this but other weapons, u need to hit people to cleanse conditions and since condition builds are further getting even MORE buffed(yes more buffed as current state of dire gives u a low risk high reward outcome).
OK now on to rifle, I have to give up warriors sprint + mobile strikes to get my crack shot trait.
OK now on to hammer, I have to choose between merciless hammer or burst mastery. ( I have dueled enough times and roamed many times with 1 or the other and all the time when I had both, I ended up doing much better because burst mastery + merciless hammer has an intense amount of synergy which helps keep up my stun pressure on enemies)
OK now on to axe, I have to choose between axe mastery or berserkers power.
Ok ok, all these choices wow. Im fine with these changes actually! but then came the information of condition changes of how they will be buffed (doing more condition damage above 700 condi dmg)
New changes will open up more condi cleanse for warriors, cleansing ire+brawler recovery + burst mastery + sigil of cleansing.
New changes open up perplexity warriors running hammer in their condi builds( still viable but soon it will be more viable)
New changes merge forceful gs and slashing power(nice!)
Lots of double endure pain builds
Encouraging the usage of physical skills such as bulls charge
TLDR
We lose power(our burst) ( i know its balance but i only include this because of the condi buff coming up soon)
We gain more opportunities for condition builds(perplex warrior + hammer)
ANET encouraging condition builds even more than ever for wvw and want zerkers to suffer. (great answer for pve but I play wvw, opposite reaction)
Condi this condi that…….condi everything( I really believe anet forgot about whats wvw and what is the current meta of wvw)
Sinister or dire?(discuss builds below)
If you think I missed out on something very important, please feel free to post below and discuss. I am not here to argue of what I know and believe in but want anet to see the possible upcoming of these changes. If i did truly have made a mistake in my posting and someone mentions of it. I will look into it and get back to you with an honest reply.
LOTS of I’s and My in this because this is my opinion.
Thanks!
