We’ll take a look on Monday.

They’re permanently dishonoured why the heck are they allowed to obtain PvP statues.

Two posts by Cleary on the subject. I can’t really express what an absolute joke this is in regards to not only breaking TOS and getting away with it, but damaging the already strung out and warped concept of GW2 sportsmanship. I’d elaborate more, but the thread is already filled with enough rebuttal.

Raymond Lukes.6305:

I’d like to start off by saying the WvW team works hard to keep up with forums and also reddit. Your feed back and discussion is awesome and we love reading what you guys have to say. The unfortunate reality is we cannot reply to every post and so it may seem as though we aren’t reading things.

I’ve stated in a previous thread that deleting worlds and letting players choose a new world is something we have considered in many forms. At this time we do not have a solution that we feel solves enough of the issues with population balance while also hitting enough of our requirements for a change to be made.

As I said above we love the discussions and suggestions you guys have for WvW this particular problem is tricky as you guys don’t have all the details we are working from. A lot of the ideas we’ve seen have been well thought out and detailed they fall short because you guys are working from a limited perspective and not solving the whole issue.

Yeah the only thing we don’t have is how much money you’re making from server transfers.

Please put an end to the massive amounts of passive condition play in this game. It’s absurdly imbalanced.

Title sums it up boys. What guild/zerg comp would want a spec in their ranks that STRIPS BOONS THAT COULD BE CONVERTED BY THE HORDES OF REAPERS/SCOURGES.

Honestly it makes no sense and is beyond laughable in practice.

hypehype.9047:

but it does not synchronise with glint heal as you want to get hit when you use it.

but i guess it’s all about getting the crappy traits skills ready for renegade so sales are good.

Honestly this is such a design over sight it’s embarrassing.

Is high risk just referring to being kittening instagibbed by thieves for another expansion? If so leave me at the front door.

Having gliding territories is… Interesting to say the least. However, the current implementation of the boards is far too distracting. The outlines of each territory is far too wide and quite frankly I believe it makes the map (be in it both design and readability) ugly.

I would like to see either a reduced thickness in the boarders or a less distracting system implemented.

So far, the only examples I can see are on humans. This looks to be a human only change so far unless you’re on a sylvari or norn.

Thirty minutes of running around on my asura and I haven’t heard a peep from them.

My main rev is an asura. They speak for them, female asura at least.

Male Asura here, Glint spoke to me. Was a tad jarring, but a nice addition.

I wouldn’t say this is intended, but considering the spec’s absurdly large skill variety and therefore ceiling, this may just be an intended downside of the class and therefore something to play around.

From what I’ve seen in WP’s footage Weaver seems absolutely absurd. Both in power and fun. Expect massive nerfs boys and girls.

Deadeye looks incredibly boring. Enjoy your recycled Warrior rifle Thieves.

top kek.

Sorry all, but from what I’ve recently heard internally axe is going to be a melee condi weapon with emphasis on strong “mirages” that the player can jump freely to in battle.

Maybe in 4 more years when we get hammer we can have a power weapon that doesn’t suck completely.

Honestly, not ONE single red post from the devs since the balance patch in regards to power warrior concerns. Absolutely nothing whatsoever ever. Even Blizzard addresses major concerns or issues on their forums. Do their devs even read the threads and sugguesions we post here?

I’m beginning to think we’re all just wasting our time by posting our concerns here. We as a player base would greatly appreciate some information in regards to why such changes were made despite being so polarizing.

It’s a kitten shame I’d almost forgotten how amazing the previous visual effects of auras looked in comparison to the current ones we have now. Auras need to have their previous visual effects restored.

The currently implemented effects are near impossible to see in a PvP/WvW or heck, even too minuscule to enjoy in a PvE setting. I strongly believe the change was a mistake and I would like to see a roll back to the previous effects.

Nothing will really “fix this”. Closest I could do was implement Agility Sigil to build but it’s a very wet bandaid. Best we can do is roll condi meta and give up any meaningful roaming.

gg, next.

But seriously though, if his immob is what’s causing you issue then save foot in the grave for it. Dodge his burst and hope for the best.

Your opposition is pointless since ANET already went through with the changes, stop trying to defend them now that they’re surfaced and have made the class feel like crap.

Complaining about the changes is pointless since ANET already went through with the changes. Stop trying to complain them into reverting, as I believe the class is still incredibly playable and enjoyable in all game modes. (Did you notice how I post an opinion as an opinion, where you post your opinion as its a fact? That is why I respond to all these negative attitudes.)

Your posts are riddled with hypocrisy, anyway.

Terrible arguments aside what you’re not adding anything constructive to this thread, might as well stop while you’re behind.

You may believe it, but congrats on being in the minority, the amount of people expressing their disdain for the change in pacing of the warrior is enough to deafen your argument to the point of simply “trolling”.

I’m actually really impressed at ANETS commitment to gutting power builds. Actually nerfing a skill that’s been nerfed twice before to nail the coffin on the weapon.

Condi is is… Difficult. You’ll get kited VERY hard if not using shiro, and if you’re not using shiro then you’re probably already dead on sight unless your enemy has no concept of disengaging/blocking. In small group settings it’s great however!

New condi ele build topping 50k dps. Condi Rev will NEVER be taken at this point.

A condi rev can offer more then just dps.

True, however other classes do too and do it better as well.

I disagree revs are more versatile then that.

Condi Rev going for dps is taking Mallyx/Jalis (Corr/Dev/Invo) tho, so aside from breaking bars and providing the not-good-in-raids group resistance, what utility do they have?

Lol stop following the meta so much and you will see.

The only reason you’re here right now is because you’re “following” the meta. If you’re not following the meta then there is little reason to concern yourself with performance of said class, you;d just be out there playing it.

Point being, there are higher dps classes that are more in demand and currently played. On that reason alone there is no reason to take a condi rev in a raid.

I was actually really enjoying the game until the recent balance patch. Good bye power builds, hello boring passive condi.

It’s hard to enjoy something when that thing you enjoy continuously gets gutted.

As made evident to Anet’s terrible decision in regards to lava font MONTHS ago, I honestly don’t think they’ll ever revert the changes they just made. Their developers are very disillusioned in regards to what they want a MELEE CLASS to actually be.

War was fun while it lasted. Now we’re approaching our pre HoT status of garbage.

I’m 100% convinced your soul purpose on the Warrior forums is to shut down threads.

Currently, its to provide opposition to the posts that don’t agree with the changes, but don’t offer their thoughts on alternatives, because there’s no denying that power zerker was over-performing for minimal effort.

Blue, do you think that nerfs shouldn’t have happend, at all, whatsoever?

Your opposition is pointless since ANET already went through with the changes, stop trying to defend them now that they’re surfaced and have made the class feel like crap.

The removal of proc sigils in PvP has proven to be enough of a DPS loss for power warrior on it’s own. The increased cast times (as has been repeated 100x in this thread) has introduced a counter play to the class that is far too excessive. There’s no minimal effort involved, all players (good or bad) had to do what DODGE. The ability had an easy tell, much like how good players can counter thieves stealth by TIMING their dodges or blocks.

This is like saying, “Yeah thieves stealth is too strong, in addition to keeping revealed, there will now be a fade time on all stealth skills, making it so a full stealth effect takes 3/4ths of a second instead of instantly.”

Seems fair and reasonable yeah?

Prior to this I may have argued that Arc Divider needed it’s range toned down, but that’s it really. But now we have a melee brawler who is forced to do all of it’s damage in melee ranged severely gutted in regards to damage output and survivability while classes that can provide ranged dps can sit back and win effortlessly via attrition, disengaging and kiting.

Whats the point of playing warrior in this current meta now?

Turk.5460:

nicknamenick.2437:

So you played 200 hours? Thats about 5% of mine warrior hours.. and allot of other warrior players here.
What i dont get if you do understand warrior on those very few hours. Is that you now feel the need to reply to every single post here and start posting that the nerfs are not a problem. While you just ignore the fact that the post could be for pve or pvp. Where there are just few and needed nerfs for wvw

You’re so delusional that you rounded 82 down to 0. 282 hours is a lot of time to understand a profession. If it takes you longer, then you must have spent a lot of time repeating certain years in school. Especially since most of that time was post-HoT, where the gameplay of professions has seen some great changes over the “4000 hours” you’ve supposedly spent on a warrior.

As for replying to posts? Every post I’ve replied to had the context of WvW. “I can’t duel anyone” – How many NPCs are you dueling, and how often does one “duel” in PvP? “Anyone can dodge my AD now!” How many NPC’s do you recall dodge attacks? The replies where the originator showed no context deserved a vague and ambiguous “L2P” when their post is something completely useless like “omg war sux now” This is why you can’t be taken seriously, you’re not even reading my posts before attacking them, all you see is someone who disagrees with you and immediately in your closed-mind they are wrong.

Grow up. (You may have heard me say this in an earlier post, but probably not due to what I wrote above.)

By the way, assuming you spent 4000 hours on your warrior, and you’ve been playing for 5 years, that means you’ve spent 2 hours a day, every day M-F playing your Warrior, and by the tone of your posts, probably A LOT in PvE, much more so than competitively. Thats not much more than the hour a day I’ve spent over the past year, almost exclusively in WvW roaming.

Oh, an afterthought: Lets see your screenshot.

I’m 100% convinced your soul purpose on the Warrior forums is to shut down threads.

BadMed.3846:

It was coming. We knew it was coming. Super easy noob friendly OP class deserved this. Now, get some skill and practice.

Real insightful input. Thank you. While we’re at it lets look at the other brain dead classes that exist out there.

Skill and practice won’t help when there’s a fundamental flaw in the class design.

Darcwolf.6817:

I love these complaints, I have been using axe/axe for at least 2 years and have always enjoyed it, sure I may not do the dps of other classes, but it was just fun. I never enjoyed GS since I discovered dual axe because it just felt slow, dual axe is fast and very action orientated.

With the trait line that gives you quickness when mob hits 50% hp and quickness on berzerk it made it a lot of fun, now on top of that we get axe skill 4 that grants even more quickness so it’s essentially up at all times if you have any kind of boon duration.

I’m not even specifically complaining about the damage, though it is an issue in pve/pvp/wvw at this point. It’s the fluidity of the warrior. Go use shield bash, go use headbutt, they feel absolutely terrible in every regard.

Imagine next patch if anet increased the animation/cast time on all offhand axe skills, it would suck for someone who has previously enjoyed that playstyle. Not to mention that duel axe outside of PvE meta events and map clearing has ZERO place in the game. None. No where are you better off using A/A than ANY OTHER weapon set. It may be fun for you, but it’s essentially worthless in all other aspects. Try using it in PvP, you’ll get blown up faster than you can blink.

The fluidity of the warrior is now broken. No longer to the dance on the fields of battle with grace and brutality. They literally feel like you’re playing World of Tanks. Lurking around mid line and HOPING that one of your shots manages to hit some noob who stepped out of his zerg / allies.

GG Anet

It’s 100% a short bow.

I’m not saying your wrong, but in the leak I didn’t see it specify. Where did it say?

The leaker stated condi shortbow specifically. This information (in regards to what others leaks have shown to be correct) has the grounds to be factual.

Power War is absolutely dead to me. Not only is it next to impossible to duel a good player, but the sluggishness of the class makes it very unenjoyable to play.

Power Warrior? The only thing thats changed on power Warrior to make it somewhat sluggish is shield bash having a quarter of a second more cast time. And if a quarter second on one skill is enough to make it impossible for you to duel a good player…maybe you aren’t a good enough player to engage in 1v1 duels regardless…

Update: I just read in a thread on the thief forum where you mentioned you believe thieves are “stupidly OP.” Now I know for sure that you shouldn’t be engaging in 1v1 duels until you learn more aspects of GW2.

Anyone trying to defend these changes has absolutely no concept of what balance is. And yes, d/p thieves are incredibly OP for what they bring to the table in regards to WvW roaming and PvP scenarios. To not see that, I can’t even comment on the absurdity. Go duel a good thief, you will lose, no question about it.

Power War is absolutely dead to me. Not only is it next to impossible to duel a good player, but the sluggishness of the class makes it very unenjoyable to play.

Whats the point that it gets 30k? Every other condi spec beats rev. Everything beats rev at this point.

That’s just not true. 30k at the moment is it’s baseline on a non moving target meaning any boss that moves will take higher amounts than that. If condi ranger can make their tiny bonfires work on moving targets condi rev sure as hell can make their mace 2 work on them, plus gain the benefit of 20k torment ticks during movement.

Sure it’s not going to be used for QT speed clears most likely, but it’s comparable if not better than several other condi and power dps options I’ve seen pugs and organized groups use over the past few months.

Yeah, no. Once the boss moves out of your fire fields the DPS increase will be negligible if not non existent.

It’s 100% a short bow.

New condi ele build topping 50k dps. Condi Rev will NEVER be taken at this point.

Viable on all bosses or?

The login screen where my characters aren’t affected by the terrible balance patch.

Thieves even more stupidly OP after the recent needs to other classes sustain. That and combined with sigil of absorption it’s gg.

Such a broken class.

Crab Fear.1624:

It looks like reliance on passive skills is taking a reduction as well as skill activation in a linear fashion; players may actually have to consider strategy and effective timing. Players won’t be able to rely(as much) on an OP class skill/trait set to carry them past their fluttery button mashes. Oh god, what have you done Anet!

Yeah, meanwhile condi passive gameplay has skyrocketed and thieves spamming 1 can actually down power based classes now. kitten balance.

I can’t begin to express how big of a joke Power Warrior has just become.

The most telegraphed skills in the game, the molasses slow game play, the complete and utter exclusion from raids, the drastic loss in dps and sustainability.

Congrats ANET, congrats on killing power warrior.

Buran.3796:

Why would even should be Rev changes before the next expansion? PvE is gud, PvP is over and WvW is a dying breed, why would ANet make the effort? Better focus on the future skins for horses…

Maybe cause Rev has no place in Raids. Which hurts more than others might let on.

WvW is still strong in its own regard and PvP will always have people queuing.

Nail in the coffin.

We’re done here. Ya kittening blew it anet.

Guardian can still uhh… Guard. DH on the other hand? They can guard while simultaneously gutting you.

Best support class in the game.

moonstarmac.4603:

I am Bronze T2 and I have noticed I am getting opponents of much higher skill rating than myself. Frankly I find it very painful but still fun.

Wanna know why? BECAUSE YOU ARE. The population of PvP is so low that people from higher leagues get placed in lower matches. I’ve climbed out of gold last season seeing Plat + higher frequently, even some silver. MM is bunk.

katniss.6735:

The people who still run large guild groups gave up on Mag because they claim there’s no fights. So now that there’s no coverage, there’s plenty of fights, but no one wants to play anymore. So we aren’t.

If you want to continue to fight mag players, let us hold the keep waypoint in ebg. Or you can keep ppting because that’s exciting.

I’m not a huge fan of spvp, but that will be my main focus in gw2 in a couple days when the new season starts. That, and other games. Game modes are stale. Everyone knows it. I don’t really feel like wasting gold to transfer yet (despite a lot of people I know already being on another server).

You know kitten is serious when Leafy is talking jumping ship. A sad day for Mag.

Warrior is top tier in every aspect of the game. They’re even top tier in WvW for crying out loud (don’t tell ppl this though).

No, no, no and no.

Spartacus.3192:

no need to delete unless you need the char slot. But im with you, will only be using my rev for pve

While I did need a character slot, I’d even argue that an empty character slot is in a better place than Rev right now.
