Berserker seems to have some good synergy with Tactics…which seems ironic.

For example, the cripple on Torch seems meh until you add in Leg Specialist. I’m not sure how Blaze Breaker works, if it pulses burning along its path then that synergy will be great.

There’s also Powerful Synergy as well. If you run Sword/Torch + LB You’ll be able to have almost constant fire fields. The LB Mastery trait will also be more useful as well.

Berserker – Arms – Tactics seems cool…except that once again it’s likely we’ll run into the problem of not having Fast Hands unless the traits for Berserker somehow make it not a required trait.

Just an angry old man…

I wonder why people are so hyped about the pingpong skill. It will be useless in pve and pvp for the same reason physical skills are useless.

Displacing mobs in pve is more harmful than useful (see lb ranger) and skills that hit only once in a game type where blind is given out like candy and random dodges are as prevelant as theys are is not going to happen. Plus they compete with stances and i’m pretty sure due to lackluster warrior design overall we needed at least 2 to not be freekills in pvp.

A way for them to be somewhat viable is if the cd is in the 10-15 sec range.
And while they’re at it they could reduce physical cds by 33% too.

Noob question, pls no bully

Can I be a Berserker WITHOUT using torch? Everything sounds great to me, the berserk mode, the rage skills, all that is right up my alley. But I don’t really want to use a torch, and the torch skills don’t sound very interesting.

I swung a sword. I swung a sword again. I swung a sword again—-hey hey that’s great!

I presume so. I mean, the specializations would be awfully restricting if you couldn’t.

Nothing locks you into using your spec weapon, it’s totally optional. There will probably be a couple of trait choices that either affect the Torch directly or work best in combination with what the Torch offers, but you won’t have to use one if you don’t want to.

Amberley Avalen – Charr Mesmer
Tanya Larina – Human Thief
Finchy Whyte – Sylvari Ranger

So you have to build a full adrenaline bar before you can use this “style”? Sounds really, really cumbersome without something like Berserker Stance.

“One of these skills is Wild Blow, a powerful attack that launches any foe it hits back a large distance with such force that your foe’s own body becomes a projectile that can hit other enemies, knocking them back in turn.”

Torch is a very meh weapon choice. I’d hoped ANet might make HoT look more like an actual expansion and create a few new weapon types (greataxe plz).

But the spec itself actually looks cool, I’m glad Warrior was taken in the unstoppable/supernatural physical direction rather than any kind of magic stuff.

2 questions:

1. How is this not a straight upgrade of warrior?

2. Can a player-made-into-a-projectile be reflected?

1 — I don’t know, I’m not a theorycrafter.

2 — Nope. Read the article as well as dev responses in these forums, it’s not technically feasible. Nice big red ANet flag on this thread that is titled exactly as needed to point you to the answer https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/How-to-make-a-player-a-projectile-Berserker/first#post5398655

From what they’ve released so far there’s no reason to switch from my current DPS or Phalanx build for PVE end game content (read: Fractals).

Yep, because only knowing one utility, the two weapon skills, and some vague details about the new class mechanic (and not knowing how it will apply to or change 5 of our 7 burst skills) and having no math or number tallies or traits at all is totally enough information to decide whether or not a spec is viable.

SMH

From what they’ve released so far, there’s no reason for me to change my Engineer, Thief, or Ranger builds, either.

I guess you don’t know what the words “From what they’ve released so far…” mean.

Speaking from a PVE-only point of view…

So you have to build a full adrenaline bar before you can use this “style”? Sounds really, really cumbersome without something like Berserker Stance.

Especially when you factor in how broken adrenaline decay is right now.

How to defeat berserker:

1.) Run blind spam build
2.) disengage for 5 seconds until all adrenaline decays
3.) Wait for cooldown on berserker stance and signet of rage and engage

It just sounds more annoying than fun.

I think this could be even worse in pve where you kill mobs before your adrenaline bar is full and where it decays completely before you even reach the next mob.
Maybe the berserker tree will have a passive that lets you keep adrenaline like warrior had before the changes.

Try activating to the limit before fights. It should give you full adrenaline Using a heal before a fight also triggers restorative strength in the strength trait line, signet mastery in the arms trait line. Also if you dodge before a fight you trigger reckless dodge, and stick and move. I never have issues with adrenaline.
