Guild Wars 2

It doesnt make any sense that the masters of weaponry has to run discipline for this whereas mesmers got to have illusionary persona made baseline

The only way it might happen (and it’s crazy unlikely), is if they do it as part of a general trait overhaul in anticipation of the next expansion (like they did with HoT).

Just like your opinion. And those buzzwords are literally in warrior description

I’m not a Warrior main by any means, but wouldn’t you still run discipline because of all the weapon swap benefits it gives? I can’t really imagine these traits not being a standard choice even if they made it baseline.
I mean you get adrenaline, might, conremove and faster recharge on your burst skills from this trait line. How would any Warrior want to miss that?

Discipline would remain a very strong traitline, but it would no longer be (arguably) mandatory. I say arguably because a good player could have some success without it, but it would be comparatively kitten, imo.

Also, if Fast Hands was made baseline, we’d probably due for some nerfing in other areas because some of the newly available combinations could be stupidly strong.

It would open the doors to a couple of other builds, especially in PvP. I really enjoy gimmick builds, but few gimmicks are even remotely viable because they rely on dropping Discipline for more interesting combinations. The problem is, Warrior weapon skills don’t really flow that well when you lack that 5 second weapon swap. A build like this could be really fun but doesn’t flow that well because you can’t chain the immob from Leg Specialist into Bow skills constantly, not to mention the fact that you’ll just end up auto attacking a lot.

Rolling out the big guns

It might be because this exists. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_the_Warrior

8 second Weapon Swap is not as great as 5 seconds, but definitely better than 10s. And this rune is already under-used, so its possible that Anet could buff the set bonus in the future to match Fast Hands.

Yeah, it would need a serious buff to offset the opportunity cost of taking that rune set. Then again, if they buff that set to 5s swap, then it also opens it to classes who haven’t been balanced to 5s swaps like warrior has.

It would also mean that if you had both Warrior would have no weapon swap CD.
