Guild Wars 2

This patch is like a nightmare, and I’d been hoping ever since I saw the leaked notes that they were not true.

For every buff they’ve given us, they’ve nerfed us in turn. One step forward and two steps back just has us getting crappier and crappier.

Berserker power going from adept to grandmaster and only getting a 3% buff in damage is just kittened.

Axe 1’s damage all being loaded into the last hit so that the enemy has more chances to get away from it? kittened.

Instead of giving us more variety, they’ve given us the ability to do the same build in three different ways, all of which generally suck. Wonderful, now I can choose which pile of kitten to wallow in when I want to play my favorite fantasy archetype!

Do you hear that…..? That is the sound of me playing the worlds smallest violin for you my friend.

Not to happy about that changes as well.
Works well if you go pure Zerk warrior fine 30/0/0/10/30..
Any kind of hybrid just got hit rather bad if the Zerker isn’t ones cup of tea.

My warrior will be sitting out this patch. The problem is they have nuked the possibility of achieving an effective build rather than giving us build diversity. And, the changes to the axe are just sad.

That’s fine. You guys sit here and drink your own tears while the rest of us go figure out the new metagame. You can come back once all the best Warrior builds are all nice and theorycrafted for you.

The way I see it its an overall nerf. With what other classes got and certain OP builds not being touched at all we ended up with the kitten end of the stick in this deal. I wont quit my warrior but this game may get back burnered again. What i find the most hilarious is that they actually buffed some of the most OP builds in the game.

The rest of us conferred and have decided that the new metagame involves something other than warriors.

I’m using hammer and sword/warhorn in WvW so my build defy got buffed, like most patches!

Fear Me is back on my bar. Sword is pretty neat but hoenstly, not sure yet. Needs more testing. Hammer is smoother and Balanced Stance has recieved a small buff, a skill i always use. Might drop healing shouts and get burst mastery + more crit damage and burst cd reduction. Loving the discipline line tbh.

Already done.
Warriors still rock in pve.
Warriors still suck in pvp.

dont bring your zerg pve crap into balance

we are talking about PVP SPVP

Warriors are fine in zzerg wvw and they are fine in pve even OP

but hell they neeed to SHINE in spvp its been 9+MONTHS!

I also feel that build diversity has been decreased. I ran a hybrid knight/zerker and I feel that my build has been hit harder than pure zerker. Way to go about promoting diversity.
This build has forced me to actually increase my damage output and decrease my defenses since it’s the only viable option. Otherwise my build will just be worse than pre-patch.

I really hope they understand that promoting build diversity and just ruining a class even worse is different.

You’d think after 9+ months of being the king of suck they’d figure out that they could just separate our pve and pvp skills from one another and then actually give us something balanced and useful.

But no, they instead nerfed our pve ability while retroactively pounding our pvp ability into the ground.

I’m gonna go play something else until the devs actually figure out that people want to play this class and not just Guardian. I guess I’ll be checking in until then, hopefully the money I spent on this game wasnt wasted.

calm down keyboard warrior ^^

I totally agree. Heck! I quit spvp because i had to bring my thief all the time instead of my warrior. But i’m just saying that for my organsised WvW guild, a warrior can’t complain.

As for spvp. I do believe that there will be some new builds soon. Like hammer frenzy kick build omg op!! >.< We see. Give it some time.

I ran a GS/Rifle Knights/Zerker Shout Build with 60% boon duration and took advantage of adrenaline based traits in Adepts in Strength and Discipline only to see they were moved to GM.

This patch annihilated my build and I’m forced if I want to increase my damage and CC output to trait differently and spend gold on complete zerker trinkets. If I wanted to play a Zerker warrior I’d have done that. This patch IMO has pigeonholed GS warriors and not given us the diversity Anet apparently said it would.

but at least they buffed arcing slice.
hold on a sec im getting a message.
oh crap… they didn’t. well this is akward
