Guild Wars 2

Enjoying the recent changes to axe…

How about some love for off hand mace? The windup on mace 4 is huge for a melee range low damage skill. The shock-wave on tremor is so narrow it’s a miracle if it lands, plus that CD.. ugh.

Please update mace 4/5, I’d really enjoy having another power off hand for dual wielding.

If I were to do it…

Mace #4 could remove Protection from struck foes. “Crushing Blow” crushing all defenses sort of thing. Maybe apply 2-3 more Vulnerability stacks/Weakness when Protection boon is removed.

Mace #5 knockdown duration could be extended for every Vulnerability stack on the target. The mechanic of both MH and OH maces is applying vulnerability, so Tremor could synergize with it.

How about some mobility?

Speed up #4/increase its damage and make #5 a leap of some sort. The shockwave is super lame imo and a nightmare to use

I don’t think mace offhand needs to be defense specced.

-make the 5 skill do at last 3 second knockdown.
-make the 4 skilll…..do something useful. Protection specific strip as you said sounds great.

mace OH and sword OH are shaite

I would love for Tremor to leave a pulsing Ward line that cannot be crossed, or cause cpulsing crippling sort of like that Earth Elemental skill.

Mace #4 could remove Protection from struck foes.

Or ANY boon. Warrior doesn’t have a boonstrip, so Mace #4 removing a boon or two would be a wonderful change!

I think reserving boon removal as a whole for Spellbreaker and keeping core warrior without this ability is the way to go, because it increases the appeal of SB in specific situations.

However, target removal that’s thematic to the skill rather than any boon removal still keeps the Spellbreaker’s niche intact, buffs it in a way that conveys the skill’s name and idea and makes it’s functionality more unique. Even though it can’t remove anything, it will remove the one important boon which reduces damage.

My general idea when it comes to GW2 is that more targeted boon and condition removal instead of more general removal would be healthier for the game. It would vastly decrease the value of trash, cover boons/conditions while not nerfing Stability/Fear, for example.

sword OH is great. second part of sword 4 needs removing/changing tho.

its a shield that does condi dmg instead of the increased defense values
