Guild Wars 2

So.. I was reading the blogpost on tentonhammer where they discussed the change of defiance and that CC abilities will have an affect on bosses other than just a 1-3sec stun.

And basically it says that different CCs will take off different amounts of the breakbar and can even block the wyvern from flying to spit it’s fire on everyone.

And to add to that, once the flight is interrupted, the boss will take 3x damage.

I wonder if the change to defiance and addition of these mechanics will make heavy CC builds like hammer and mace warrior actually worth using in larger pve encounters.
Personally, I’d like it because i just like the feel of the mace, dunno why .. i just do, but don’t really use it because axe does a butt load more dps and stuns are pretty much useless outside of trash mobs

What do you guys think?

Stripping defiance isn’t the role of the warrior.

That job is typically left for the thief/mesmer, since they are much more efficient at it.

If some ppl would be better off decreasing their dmg for more cc, Mesmer, Thief and Engineer would be the best candidate for that. Not really warrior.

Meh true, got my hopes up to be able to use dual mace :/

Well, it’s not impossible that they make Skull Crack take a much larger chunk out of defiance than your standard CC.
