Guild Wars 2

11 minutes 6 seconds, look at his face while he’s saying this. He can’t even keep a straight face about it. He’s supposed to talk about how warriors can’t bunker…but there is a warrior doing just that against 3 people.

So there’s a terrible warrior and what seems to be a defensive specced guardian having problems with a warrior that looks to have specced to counter stuns with stability while running regen banners. I really have no idea what the warrior we were watching was trying to do with just the mace against a tankier build that fight.

As soon as the engineer came in with conditions it got fairly bad and had the engineer stuck in for a few more seconds it would have been over.

I’m not sure I see the issue when bunkers can’t kill other bunkers? You never see either of the 3’s hp go low until someone else joins the fight. If the warrior was really going to stick to mace with a non damaging build, he should have been following more damaging members and setting up kills with stuns rather than bunkering with another bunker in mid against one guy also set up to bunker.

Just bad gameplay there.

Keep watching.

Not saying it’s the pinnacle of gameplay, just how funny his face was when he has no clue what he’s talking about. Even with the bad game play you described, it was still a 3v1. So the point of “warrior’s can’t bunker” is a complete joke, or at least I hope it was.

The guys are not even doing good damage to the warrior, they were poor damage dealers, the warrior of the stream was a cc warrior so no great damage on his part, and the other guy whatever he was, was doing poor damage too, so yeah in that kind of circunstances a warrior can bunker, but as soon as the real dps guardian got in battle the warrior started suffering a lot for not having protection.

Watched the whole thing earlier. As soon as someone not specced for bunkering came in, the guy was in trouble; otherwise it was just 2 bunkers fighting another one, flailing their arms around.

I really have yet to see a warrior bunker do well against anything other than other bunkers. He didn’t have any real pressure and once conditions came out he went down fairly quickly with the poison countering his regens. If either the warrior or guardian switched with the engineer the warrior would have eventually succumbed to conditions since his Stamina Signet was used up. I just don’t see how not dieing to two people who have no idea what they’re doing is bunkering.

Ah I missed it, what was the timer when they downed him?

I know you’re being smug, but it only takes 5 seconds for more than half of his health to drop with the poison and other conditions the engineer dropped on him. If that warrior that was recording had chained his daze after the shield stun, there’s a good chance he wouldn’t have gotten his signet cleanse off at 10% health and Skull Crack would have been up when the daze wore off.

These two aren’t playing even remotely well, so I don’t know why you insist on this being an example of bunkering. It’s a joke.

so there is one video of a warrior bunkering a low dmg warrior and a low dmg guardian and now all of a sudden warriors are bunkers now? notice how at 18:45 how the devs admit that the warrior build is more of a support stun build.

Warriors health went down pretty fast as soon as conditions were put on it. Two condition classes would have made quick work out of him or a necro.

So where are the warrior bunkers in tPvP again?

Bunkers do like 30% of the damage potential of a max damage character at the MOST, so he’s bunkering less than what 1 guy could do in a build with no counter to burst.

You mean a bunker support warrior and a bunker guardian who only does mace 1 can`t kill a pure bunker warrior? yea man my bunker war can let another bunker hit me all day long and never go down. totally op bunker able.
