Ciao,
After several hours on my warrior in hot join and tpvp since last patch i really wanna thanks:
1) The warrior community, for their constant demand of sustain over the months, that really was worthy in the end.
2) Anet, for giving us what we asked.
If you ask “are the warrior class OK now in pvp?”, well for the first time i say yes.
I dont feel weak against any class, and i can fight on par vs anyone now, it’s just who’s better in skills, not in class.
This is some of the things i did yesterday in tpvp (3 hours):
- won ALL the 1v1s against all the classes in game
- won a 2v1 against warrior and ranger
- won a 2v1 against thief and mesmer
- won a 2v1 against mesmer and engi
- hold a point for almost a minute in a 3v1
(in two of the three 2v1 i won a guy from my team came for help at the end of the fight when i already downed one of the 2 guys, helped me for the stomp)
Well all this things were impossible before the last patch for me, but yesterday i really felt like i was doing the difference for my team, and they were all like “hey what is your build???”
By far the best day on my warrior since i started the class!
Whats your build then….? CON or shouts or?

It really comes down to what builds your opponents were using. There are times when I can be successful in 1v1 and 2v1’s. But there are also times when I can’t win a 1v1 vs a certain build+class to save my life. This last patch didn’t change your build at all. I use LB/GS, but haven’t tried yours yet. Maybe I should, but I have grown to liking the ranged capability.
Your build has nothing really new in this changes… healing signet?, with that healing power you have you are not getting anything from that or adrenal health.

400 HPS from the signet + adrenal healt + regeneration (30% of the time), This things with Soldier amulet are really “something”, btw i’m not the bunker in the team.
In almost every 1v1 situation i dont really need to press 6 at all

Yeah the changes are in the sustain, and that affect every possible warrior build.
I had problems with rangers that pop something like 30 seconds stability and fighting in nodes with condition spam from necros, but in Battle For Kyhlo you can always ask a fast Trebuchet support, or in other situations you can use the great GS mobility to escape

Adrenal Health scales with Healing Power now. Why does he have to use everything new? Sometimes one change is all it takes to make a build that was not usable into something viable!

Stop build 30/25/0/0/15 with zerk amulet and runes and u will notice what healing signet is capable off. Actually its heals for the highter amount just overtime. Its wasnt mean to be placed in pure zerk. If u wanted to make it work this way u doing it wrong.
Doesnt matter what healing power we have, healing signet always provide highter hp/s

AH! It’s a variant of the build I posted but I actually for once agree with Soldier Ammy now. Before it hardly added much sustain but combine it with our buffed healing it’s much more effective. I like Dogged March but I find it hard to let go of Missile Reflect. Keeping Rangers at bay and making Thieves guild and Phant Duelist kill themselves is very useful. I’m going to keep messing around with both because they both fill the same role of allowing us to close gaps, although now Reflect has the amusing side bonus of giving us stealth when Rangers use Hunters Shot.

From the last patch, but changed healing surge with healing signet. The damage isn’t that bad, even out of bursts, and the survivability is really high. I like playing it in tourneys.
But yeah, reflection can be useful. And you could find some use in warrior’s sprint instead of DotE.
I love fighting Mesmers with deflection. Getting Warrior clones really freaks them out. Don’t know what kind of damage they do though.

Did you saw his build?, he has 200 healing power that was i refering when i said he is no getting anything of adrenal health.

I dont like that build you are suggesting im using, i dont even like the power line i almost never put points there unless im trying to make some confusion interrupt build wich is really disapointing.
Really your claim is wrong, clearly you misinterpret my post like the other guy i quoted.

Definition of balanced

Orrr its the definition of him being better than his opponents? The fact that you are being sarcastic about a post about 1vX’s just implies you are upset. I guess warriors are necro’s worst enemy now? They nerfed necro’s I am sorry you are upset I just made a necro because I like condi’s I am with you on the post in the sPvP forums asking for nerfs I don’t think necro needs any I don’t really have a problem with them on any of my classes not saying they don’t kill me but I don’t think they are overpowered.
Sorry about it man but his post has nothing to do with balance. He outplayed his opponents. If they knew how to fight at stun warrior he wouldn’t win 1v2’s. The warrior is not a auto win everything against everyone with little effort.
If we change the scenario based on his build if it was 2 s/d+d/p thieves who both popped thieves guild at the same time that probably would have been a auto loss. Then would 2 thieves and thieves guild be unbalanced? If it was a 1v2 vs 2 warriors running the same build as him equal skill he would have more than likely not won.

I’ve been winning quite a few 2v1s in Hotjoins but without fail there is always a weak link that I can easily take down or simply ignore. I can’t for instance beat a good Engi and Thief because if the thief is power based and I’m built for Condi counter then of course he’ll give me issues.
In the past it didn’t matter how good of a player you were, you probably wouldn’t be able to win a 2v1 if even one of the players was competent. Now with the healing changes it’s possible to beat multiple opponents IF YOU ARE BETTER THAN THEM. I’m not going to lie I felt pretty OP earlier today, then I realized that I had been playing a sub-par class for almost a year – and now that they’ve been brought up to a competitive level I realize I’m actually not a half-bad player. Now I just wish I had done more tourneys but before if you didn’t have a team people just raged the second they saw a warrior on their team (even though I generally did the best on my team).
I’d also like to thank A-net and the community for further improving the warrior. I’ve been waiting for so long to have some fun with this class and finally I am after the recent buffs.
