Guild Wars 2

i’ve found one very effective build of shout hybrid.
Staff / GS with tons of chill condi damage on almost every ability.

It depends on your playstyle.
You can play without reaper spec and make condi nekro with staff / scepter + dagger and mercenary amulet (probably it is on meta) or you can make a hybrid.

Anyway, if you want to play nekro effectively, one of your hands is a staff, to transfer own conditions and get life force from ranged.
You are forced to play with amulet that gives + condi damage.
Everything else – options that you can choose.

Anyway, you can make a build of your own, depending on your playstyle.

Anyway, I think that zerk warrior should be at least reworked.

GS abilities are kinda so nice in pve, but most of them are almost useless in pvp.
His 1 doesn’t give a condition nor a boon.
His 2 should be used while moving – it’s very easy to avoid this ability with just an evade; every other class has some abilities that do not cancel on move and do tons of zerk damage while chanelling them.
His 3 is ok.
His 4 is useless.
His 5 is another version of 3.

GS lacks at least 2 damage/utility abilities.

So, i would be glad to play zerk warrior, but seems that he is the only class that doesn’t get any advantage of melee combat at all in zerk build.

Why do most players hate when warrior is in their team?

I’ve read many threads about “warrior is a pvp joke” and “warrior is not competive”.

But couple days ago I’ve seen how players just intentionally lose because they have a warrior in teammates.

So, what did I see from arena:
1. Tons of pve warriors with gs, sword/axe, rifles
2. Tons of precision+ferocity warriors without ANY sustain nor defensive abilities (like endure pain).

These guys are going into arena and feed all the time. There’s really no benefit from them in teamfight. But this is a problem of players, not a class!

Also, i came to metabattle and didn’t find one of the most viable builds: full condi warrior.

I’ve checked this build after one of “joke warriors” just stunlocked me to death from 100 to 0 hp.

This build is hammer + mace/shield and there’s 8 stuns/knockdowns.
If such warrior gets close – and he gets – he can stun one target to death while interrupting most abilities. So if you do not have 2 stunbreakers – there’s no chance at all.

Yesterday I had lots of losses on a warrior and i found that people just do not realise what to do. They expect that warrior should rush into a fight and receive all damage while these guys just autoattack from safe distance. I was winning 1 vs 2 fight while 4 other teammates died from 3 opponents without killing anyone. Is this a problem of a warrior?

The biggest problem for stunlock condi warrior is a scrapper with massive stability stacks.

So My question is – why do you dislike warriors so much? Because it is simpler to dislike unskilled players.

some certain classes are still good without hot specs.

For example, condi guardians and condi nekros are built without new specs.

Warrior, engineer and elem are the classes that need hot spec, this is true.
