Guild Wars 2

This IS AMAZINGLY GOOD. Warrior ‘feels’ amazing for once, and I’m racking my brain trying to figure out how much longer this can last for. Make no mistake there is no comparison next to revenant and other professions and what they can bring to the pvp/wvsw table…..but its just made warrior SOOOO GOOOD compared to what we are used to being. I’m running 4 signets passively in my Wvsw build and I’m absolutely wrecking almost all my opponents (daredevils get owned, chrono get owned, good revs still doing the owning tho haha). I mean I can handle 2 daredevils at once now with this patch……I could barely handle 1 before it, and now I’m dealing with 2 at the same time! That’s amazing! That feels so amazingly goood!

I’m just having so much fun since this patch. I’M HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND I WANT TO KNOW: When will they be nerfing it?

I don’t know if you’re trolling or not

Adrenal Health is definitely good, and I could see them toning down the healing a bit. Still, I don’t believe they’ll do it – because they’d definitely need to compensate the warrior by adding some support elsewhere, and they still haven’t found a proper way to do it. (hint: put regen on stances, make Last Stand not conflict with Cleansing Ire / Rousing Resilience, and add vigor / quickness on physical skills usage).

Combustive Shot with Berserker’s Power, Adrenal Health, Cleansing Ire, Burst Mastery might be a winner in PvP. Played a couple of hours with Demolisher GS/Bow, and won an interesting 1v2 with it. Wasn’t a burst fight, but rather a long one, the sustain was real.

Nah I’m not trolling, although upon rereading this I use ‘amazing’ and ‘good’ a few too many times. I am legitamity having a ton of fun because of this and the other changes made to the defense traitline. I mean it honestly feels like defense has become our elite spec, it just feels so overwhelmingly good and overpowered right now compared to the other warrior trait lines. And for that reason I was thinking to myself that it has to get nerfed. It doesn’t make sense to have 2 op elite spec trait lines that eclipse all the others given the meta all the other professions share (i.e. only their elite spec is op and necessary). I mean realistically it makes no sense that any elite spec is more op than any other trait line but…thats gw2 HoT.
Warrior feels and plays so great with the defense line atm. And from what I ‘see’ so far it makes certain utility skills and weapons even more powerful than others (i.e. healing signet) to the extent that they totally eclipse all others (to the limit, mending, defiant stance). And on the basis of not limiting the meta maybe it HAS to be changed…..or become baseline (one can dream)?

I’m not really trying to say it is OP, it definitely doesn’t make warriors OP or hand them that new important pvp role that will see them in the finals.

if you are not saying that don’t make it sound like that, and what the hell is requesting a nerf is beyond me

If druid and ele gets nerfed for season 4, warrior will overtake the support role with shoutbow easily since it is not that much worse than druid and ele with reference to sustain and support. So in season 5 warrior will get adjusted then, I guess.

Finally we get some love sustain wise,and here we got people asking for a nerf after 2 Whole kittening Days….

Cus of people like You,anet is making whack decisions,give it some kittening time.

Chill a bit friends, he wasn’t asking for a nerf, he was just enthusiastic about the trait and joking about it

A real GW2-flavored nerf post would be something like the following:

“Adrenal Health is completely OP. The warrior just has to spam the LB F1 and run in circles, and he gets healed, he gets his condis cleansed, and he’s even making damage because the AoE of the bow is too large for the size of the node… At the very least, put a CD on it, and put one on CI as well while you’re at it. Warrior scrubs go learn some skills for once.”

If the patch has shown one thing it is that Anet doesnt care what people write on the profession forums.

(and i am considering that as something very very positive. The forum dwellers of GW2 are some of the most inane people i have ever seen.)

I don’t think it will get nerfed. Warrior badly needs the sustained survivability it gives

If anything they need to fix how healing power works and fix druids healing abilities .

I think they will leave it as it is for Season 3. It needs to play out both in regular tiers and in pro leagues ESL. I doubt teams will be stacking wars. Not with mesmers still being best 1v1 class by the looks of things.

At worst i would think a 25% reduction in healing. and reduce the duration from 15s to 12s but again im just guessing here.

But honestly people just need to get used to fighting warriors again.
