Guild Wars 2

I feel sad about the trait they have revealed. I play as a conditioneer and i don’t like berzerkers. When it come to spell breakers, I think my specilization will be ARM.

I have to choose Disciple trait line to obtain speed and it works for only melee weapons. I am running a conditioneer with dual sword and bow. Could A-net make warrior’s splint work for both melee and range weapons and do not make me use superior runes of traveler.

DeceiverX.8361:

That’s the point.

Imagine if you wanted to go play in a raid or something and the party requirement was “Norn only” or “Human only” or a WvW raid with “Sylvari Only.”

But regarding the real issue, I have no solution and semi-agree that you shouldn’t be forced into a race to get your desired build. However, I also semi-agree that more flavor could be considered for race. The races of GW2 are pretty unique and further separating an Asura Warrior and a Charr Warrior increases replay value.

As mentioned, I think upgrading racial skill can provide more unique play and build. To think an asura will summon a golem to fight for his side, to think a human warrior prey to their gods and fight with different style from a charr warrior, is interesting for me.

Upgrading racial skill will provide diversity of play style rather then playing zerker warrior, viper warrior, zerker elementalist, celestial elementalist, Medi guard and etc.

I have played GW2 for 2+ year, before poison can be stacked up. I think, racial skills were left unchanged since the game lunched.

The game progress, as it is today. Creatures are stronger. Most new skills are more powerful and left racial skill useless.

I’d like to suggest the DEV team upgrade all racial skill.
Suggestion
1. Reaper of Grent : inc duration to 30 sec, reduce cool down to 90 sec, change 1 stack of poison to 2-3 stack of poison, chilling remain the same, increased condition damage by 10%.
2. Prayer to Lyssa : grant 2 random boon, apply 2 random condition to target foe, increased duration to 10 sec, cool down remains the same.
3. Hidden Pisto (Char) : decreased cool down to 8 sec.

and etc….

I play full dire-geared warrior, fully equipped with dual-swords, and take a fight with Mordremoth. Right after the elder dragon summon blighted Rylock, I just go and strike him until he reach 20% health. Brahm shount at me and order me to open the rift to make that blighted Rylock my subordinate. While I was getting close to open the rift, Rylock died by my condition damage?!

OMG, I couldn’t drag that blighted Rylock in to the rift. The elder dragon gain invulnerability and i cannot end this story.

Plz fix this as soon as possible.

This topic is going to be lost because people start to overlook this topic or do not put a comment in this topic. I feel sad.

Ross Biddle.2367:

Reading those focus skills, reminded me of rev XD

XD

That’s because I like Rev but I love condition and boon, lol. But all content in that topic mention on my topic is very interesting.

Few days ago, I read this topic, found it interesting, and wanted to share this topic in warrior group because many interesting specialization was mentioned here.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Discussion-on-future-Elite-Specializations/first
And I have an ideal for new warrior’s Specialization there. Hope u guys list something interesting in that topic, up there.

Danikat.8537:

I can see two problems with this suggestion:

Each character can only do the Zhaitan fight once because it’s a story instance. Which means upgrading it has very limited benefit compared to a world boss fight that many people do every single day and even people like me who don’t bother unless it starts while I’m there have done multiple times.

Secondly ever since Victory or Death was made soloable some people have been complaining that it’s too difficult (particularly the Mouth of Zhaitan fight which involves ‘phases’ and special tactics similar to the upgraded world boss fights). Even when it was a 5-man instance some people had real trouble with it. So upgrading it to make it harder or more complicated for those people who find it easy is going to exclude even more of the people at the lower end of the skill spectrum. I know some people’s response to this will be various forms of ‘learn to play’, maybe backed up by arguments that it would be good for them to learn. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that everyone should be able to to complete their personal story.

May be they can make the fight more interesting if u do not want it to be more difficult. Add some AOE projectile-may be death ray/laser, Make Zhaitan make a melee attack on the fleet, Make Zhaitan grasp and board the fleet and roar or shoot death breath, then summon a champion minion to fight. Not let The Elder Dragon fly aimlessly like a firefly and get shot by stupid cannon.

Elden Arnaas.4870:

Zhaitan is a Personal Story boss, not a World Boss. And the fight takes place in a 1 to 5 player instances, so they’re limited in what they can do. Yes, the fight has always been disappointing, but what can they do, make him a World Boss? Then you’d finish your Personal Story at a World Boss event, that you’ve probably already done.

I had fought Shadow of the dragon in living story season 2 and I found it interesting fight. I think dev can rebuild Zhaitan that way.

Sorry for bringing this game out of reality

Since dev team has announced the new shatterer.(https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/meet-the-new-shatterer/) I have guessed that there would be the new Zhaitan. Today, fighting Zhaitan is a guarantee-win fight and the most pathetic scene. The Elder Dragon keep spawning its minions and hurl poor projectiles. Even the sunless is properly stronger than Zhaitan and even some risened champions—eg. Zhaitan’s mouth, Zhaitans’ Eyes—are stronger than Zhaitan himself.

Plz. Make Zhaitan powerful as it should be

Smoosh.2718:

Regarding the topic of the warrior in its current state.
Could we please have a response from Anet addressing the warrior and its elite specialisation the Berserker.
What am I asking a response for? How Anet perseveres the class to be, where its exceeding (Obvious PvE but lets face it all classes do well in PvE.), what the class brings to a party (Aiming at the Berserker here.), what does the class lack.

The warrior players ever since the Berserker came out have been asking for Fast hands to be base line, its one trait, its been done to Mesmer so why not warrior? At least then this gives the warrior more options than being locked into 1+2 traits constantly:
STR|DEF|DIS
TAC|DEF|DIS
ARM|DEF|DIS
OR
STR|DEF|ZER
DEF|DIS|ZER
ARM|DEF|ZER
TAC|DEF|ZER
All of the Berserker builds suffer due to the nature of the core warrior and its core skills, being that the warrior has been designed around fast weapon swaps to carry out your combos, it makes it rather hard to play effectively as a Berserker.

Furthermore there is a strong trend in all of these builds, they all require Defence and (in most) Discipline. Discipline is taken mostly for its fast hands trait.

What would be the harm in making Warrior Sprint the new minor of Discipline (gives you a reason to take this line for the rifle trait and burst), and make fast hands baseline to the core warrior, replacing the Warrior Sprint trait with a new Adept (old) such as:
Thick Skull – Reduce stun duration by 25% (Possible to replace thick skin with this trait?)
OR
Slayer – Increases critical hit chance by 5% (Most fitting for Discipline)

This brings back some old traits and will have some use with the class.

What will be done in regards to the totally useless rage skills which are currently in the game such as:
Headbutt for PvE, PvP it misses about 50%-80% of the time due to only having 180 range.
Wild Blow for PvE, I seriously thought Utilities were meant to be utilities and not another attack skill.
Shattering Blow, this skill needs a total redo, where in the world are you going to use a 0.5s reflect? What about, Gain might per foe hit by this skill?

The other do have uses, but PvP speaking these skills find little reason to replace Stances which are (currently) Heavily needed more so to survive the insane bursts by other classes. (Looking at the Revenants Sword skill 3 with Shiro’s Unblockable attacks… Shield stance does nothing to stop this as well.)

Another suggestion was made by another player, making Rifle skills 2 and 4 the same skill, give it a slightly higher CD and give us a new skill 4 which brings some utility to the rifle which I requested within:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/The-Rifle-The-shotgun-Proposal/first#post5597531

^I would rather have this personally but anyways, please rather than leaving this whole section in the dark, could we have a developer response regarding the warrior and its current state.

Thank you,

I cannot do anything but totally agree with.

I am the one who drop warrior. Logging in a see my first character feel nostalgic, but I cannot keep playing my warrior. I wish dev team made new specialization or make berserker a new.

PS. I play conditioneer warrior and still feel sick of berserker.

Since daredevils was stated, I have figured that there are a lot of skill related to dodge, block, dash and multiple fatal strike. I guess, a thief can do what “Mai Trin” do in full zerker gear with the Bennetti’s Rapier and a pistol

I am hoping of off-handed scepter warrior. I would be fun to see.

Brother Grimm.5176:

I would change your email address / account log in via a Support Ticket. I’d make a new email account that is only used for GW2 (or at least build a proxy address via a new account and use that for ONLY GW2).

Change your GW2 PW to something 12 characters or longer that you have never used elsewhere on the internet.

Treat this as a learning experience (and NOT just for your GW2 security).

Just my 2 coppers.

Yeah, Thanks.

I understand why people question the OP a lot. Today, being caution is an important thing to do in real world. Helping people like you do, quite dangerous in the real world, is the most wonderful thing I have ever seen in MMORPG. I sometimes give new player gold and stuff, bring them to fun areas and events.

Do not listen to anyone who try to make fun of you or fool you. Just do what you want to the end, and the result will show itself.

JoshuaRAWR.4653:

Your own fault.

I don’t understand how people still fall or things like this.

Your reading skill also impress me. Is their any one I blame, but myself?

Anyone wouldn’t fall to a thing like this? Yes, there are many people have losen their accounts and contacted GW2Support team. They are not stupid. They are just careless, at least at that moment.

If you say such sentence just to feel superior, I have to admit that you fail everyone.

I had casually played GW 2 for 2 years and get amount of fun from it until one day I was being so careless.

I got a mail claimed to be a GM said that I had to verify my account on a curtained website. (notice the blue arrow indicated that the mail wasn’t from the support team. Importantly the url is “.xyz”) For being so careless and silly, I visited the website and had my account verified.

Boom!!! — I couldn’t access to my account any more. I sent mail via “gw2support” and GW2 support team have secured my account. I have figured out that the hijacker is in Beijing, China by tracking his IP address left in the authenticated internet.

My last sentence “Thanks you, Gw2Support team, the team has managed to get my account back in less than 2 weeks and advice me how to keep my account concealed from those hijackers.”

I would suggest mace / Focus with cleric or soilder gear and support skill. With Virtue + Battle presence, Writ of the merciful + Mace Symbol, Hold the line (Shout) and Mace 1 chain skill, u can have almost perma regen + passive heal from symbol and trait which heal around 1200 hp/sec. I have ran this build solo champion in mount of meal storm. (consuming my time a lot)

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVEQNApdWl0ApWoFCxRI0ENR9gU5jAYfsazLTVD-TRSBABPpEDH1fyS5xznBgGMxliOAJUCGz+j2AAeEAkCQQlRA-e

Anyway, the meta Guardian is DPS medi guardian if u want, get zerker gear and play medi too since GW2 is rerolable in a min.

PS. I have seen Thaddeus say something like this for many time, I am not against the meta build ,but , since GW2 provide us to reroll our char anytime we want, why don’t we play what we want and run berserker when we have to.

In my opinion, every classes should be able to use all type of weapons but in their own ways. Necromancers, like Majory, can amplify their damage by the power of darkness, use death spell to summon armed skeletal to fight for them. For Engineer, He can modify a great sword in to a mechanic sword which can extended or re build it in to a light sabre. Thieves can use great sword to perform a shadow/acrobatic skill. For elementalists, they already have the conjure skill but I have made some points.

I have run cleric guard and knight warrior without being blamed in COF and HOW. I am starting to believe that u can run whatever stat and gear u like if u can play it and bring the party to the end to the dungeon/FOTM with ease.

Just ignore zerker gear if u don’t want to run it.

Purple Miku.7032:

I’m not understanding the rune/trait choice.

What do you need Last Chance for in PvE? I can’t think of anything that I’ve ever used it for other than for when I was trying to do a speed kill of Liadri once. In general PvE it’s a pretty bad choice.

To answer your main question, you should certainly get berserker ascended. There’s absolutely no reason to use soldiers in PvE unless you’re doing world bosses, so if you primarily run dungeons and fractal you’d be making a huge mistake to invest in ascended if it wasn’t berserker.

For runes, I really think you should go with either scholar or strength because it’s an immense DPS increase compared to anything else. Strength runes are generally what I’m always in unless I’m with people that I’m confident in (aka guildies) where I’ll swap to my scholar set instead.

Normally if you’re using the tactics tree then it’s assumed you’re probably running phalanx strength, but if you aren’t and want to keep the 4 in tactics then you could run with 64040. This is a much better GS + axe/mace choice because while you will be missing out on attack of opportunity, you’ll have overall better DPS against bosses from berserker’s power (15% damage when adrenaline is full), stick and move (3% damage when endurance isn’t full), and the flat +100 power you passively earn from going 6 into strength.

However, I advise 65003 for pugging because the fast hands minor trait greatly improves the ability for a warrior to adapt to a rough/chaotic situation and adjust their rotation when dodging/movement is necessary. Also, it’s generally a lot easier to survive in.

I guess, everyone know what u have said. I also have exotic zerker gears with scolar runes and the game is so rigid. More importantly, I have run lvl 40+ fractal easily with my knight gear.

Thanks for the advise, anyway. I rather got ascended berserker gear.

I have run a warrior for my main character. I have knight exotic armor, berserker accessories, rings, amulet, berserker infused fractal capacitor, and berserker weapons.

I run 4/6/0/4/0 trait.

Now, I have everything for crafting full set of ascended armors.

Between berserker/knight/Soilder gear, which is the best for me???
Ps. I have often run exotic knight gear and occasionally berserker gear, run dungeon and FOTM frequently.

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

Nicholas S Lin.6187:

The humans are not enslaved not because they are strong or have any strength. Its because the Charr cannot unite as one race and second because they are distracted by both the Flame Legion and the ghosts of human Ascalon. Thus the statement that humans are strong enough is actually false and a complete lie.

Of course Tyrian humanity is weak. Elona and Cantha are different continents to Tyria so must be considered separate. As in both cannot be associated in the terms of reference of this discussion. Also in case if any have missed this detail: both Krytan and Ebonhawke farmland are plagued by bandits and or beasts and renegade factions. This means that human supply lines are weak and unreliable.

Thus none can claim that humanity can hold their own in Tyria. They simply cannot. And this is truth undeniable.

“If they were weak they’d be extinct or enslaved. Humans are still plentiful and growing, that should be enough indication that we are not weak.” Same thing I said in the first place still applies to your response. Humans would be extinct if they didn’t have the strength to endure. The end.

I cannot agree…more with this. Human are strong in their aspect—diplomat, abilities to adapt to situations and technology. (based upon the air ship we used to kill Zhaitan that combined technology of human, arsura and charr.)

This is my PVE trait. I use this and can solo a champion since I have endurance refill/blind/evasion (3).
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZEQRAoa8YlsMpwpdOx7J8PRhOhsbiA8Vyvl9tD-TxCBwAGViVT/AkHAwZlgYVeA4kAgT9Ha7PkSDTCTMBOCABAOA43ffOfLFgeKjA-e

If u play full zerker, u are a damage dealer for bringing your foe down quickly. If u go in a party, u play a role of DPS and still can negate powerful attack from a champion by applying blind. Also, u can be a salvation when ur party is about to be destroy by using shadow refugee. (have to foretold ur member first before using the skill)

Most importantly, I can solo a champion for fun if u sacrifice power for trickery trait and others.

Play what u see fit to your favorite, I would suggest u to. Tanky or Zerker, D/D or staff, any way u feel happy with because anything never be useless (event tanky thief,lol).

Ralkuth.1456:

Just be in combat and use Signet of Fury/Berserker Stance.
You can tag someone quickly with GS 3 or 4, then attempt an F1 immediately after (or use Bolas).
It’s a really yolo build though…

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQJAURjMdUGahH+dwJaAggy8DEALwpBXdbc7jBA-TZBFwACOCAIeAA12foaZAAXCAA
You’ve been warned…

u are the one who make me see the usage of sigil of intelligence. Get a cookies from me.

If u run with ur warhorn, +25% movement speed is not so efficient and will find another rune more effective then the traveller

Pregnantman.8259:

I take you are also interested in killing champions in open world? This is the setup I use when I solo champions and in Living Story.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQRArd7flsApUoFCxfH8DRx8QlVJa9G8BXQlBQBg1SA-TRRBwAX3fU+dT9H86HAcSAMrEkUAXsMC-e

The build editor didn’t have it, but I use Sigil of Incapacitation on Scepter (3 second Cripple on 5 second cooldown on crit) to help kiting. If you don’t like Torch or need AoE, have Greatsword on swap.

The point of the setup is basically kiting the enemy to avoid hits, while avoiding hits in return increases your own damage. Let me know if you like it (its close to a standard Scepter build but still).

Edit: The adept major trait in Zeal should be Fiery Wrath, I forgot to change that.

Despite being modified zerker, I have found it interesting. All I have to do is to find a Sigil of Incapacitation to fit my scepter. It is much more colourful then any meta build I have seen.

I like it. !!!

Ezeriel.9574:

Maybe something like this.

…you could just use celestial stats for everything too

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQRApf7fl0ApSo9CxZI8DNR8Ql5Y0iVHATwji5UsFA-ThiAABBpKwsKBbWJCAnEgHMh9kyLBeCAsoDAU1eUaFASBcxyI-e

This is interesting, guy. I will try this right away.

I have to agree that staking is not fun. I only do low level dungeon for gold like killing a risen and get heavy moldy bag to sell. If u want challenge and good gameplay, plz do Arah HoTW CoE or fractal of the mist.

PS. I have to say that I am waiting for some new fractals.

I under stand how u feel Loki.8793, the game is made in the mechanic where u can evade all attack, negate all attack. New play style is less likely to occure, but some players are still finding it.

I also have a zerker armor and tinker set to play with group and run a dungeon but I have another set to play and get another aspects of the game too. Sometime I run cleric guardian, carrior guardian, condition warrior, shatter Mesmer, bleeding Mesmer and healing elemtalist. It’s quit fun to play another aspect of the game and I am sure that all the surrounding players will experience a good performance of an unusual build.

I hope to see the day.

Since SR trapped us in a confined space and easy to be targeted by AOE damage and condition, I have used SR in PVP but not to stealth from the enemy, but to lure my enemy to keep hitting an empty SR. (lol)

Currently, I use SR on a empty AOE at the conner and use smoke bomb / bow 5skill to flee. It’s fun to see a ranger, zerker necromancer keep applying AOE skill on an empty area. (lol)

I have to say that I love the mechanic of Modrems. All the normal creature in GW2 have acted like a target practice for not making proper movement, not using any skill since BETA . After 2 year, I see an improvement in those normal monster. They use skill more frequently, apply more condition and make u play various gear (not only zerker).

For me, the game is more colourful after the modrem invasion.

Thaddeus.4891:

You can get away from Meta. But Meta is about what is the more efficient right now. The further you get from meta, the less useful you’ll get. If you run meta trait with knight gear, you are still useful, but don’t do as much dmg. If you go meta trait with soldier gear, you do really small dmg. If you change trait and have cleric gear with a staff, then you are useless in PvE. You will survive and rez everybody, but the group will die, because they do 1/5 less dmg than usual.

Your point’s taken. I was starting to feel it 1 and a half year ago that meta build is always the best and the most useful. Having seen only meta build running around have been realized me and made me understand how to run a guardian. Still, I just want to make my gameplay more interesting—running a new build, using useless rune and sigil, wearing unusual gears. Importantly, if I want to run a serious event, to make gold, to complete FOTM, I would rather run my meta-built Warrior, Mesmer, thief, or Elementalist.

Any way, I am happy for all of your advice and opinion. U will see I post strange build again and again.

Any guardians that is not in meta always interest me.

This is a guardian of mine. I try to make her a blue flame magus so that’s why i ask u.

Vukorep.3081:

This is the build im using most of the time while im playing my guardian.

16k hp and 2800 armor is good enough,specially with AH

with fully stacked sigil of bloodlust and around 10 might (form my own staff or from other players around me i have 3k atk wich is also quite good.

The traits are currently set up for some sort of team/zergy pve content, such as silverwastes, but there are other traits i like to swich around if i want do give myself some more power. Same goes with utility skills

I am sure that ur trait and gear provide super potential in gameplay, and i see many of my friends use this built. Instead, I just wonder if i can make my guardian far more differnt from meta guardian such as zerker/Medi or something else. Thank you, any way.

I already get all of the gear u mentioned (but in an exotic version) and i have found it very useful, but not so different. I hope u understand me.

However, there is no such thing wasting along the way of crafting. I haven’t gotten level 500 in armor smithing, crafting carrion things can make me able to craft ascended one.

Just explaination, guy…. Now i am trying to run carrion gear but two or three ascended accessory have to be obtained by my worrior in FOTM. I guess it will took me 2-3 day to complete my carrion guardian.

Spartacus.3192:

Thaddeus.4891:

‘’never figure it out to play make fun of him’’ ?? What are you trying to say here. You want to make fun of your guardian? Or you never figure out how to have fun while playing your guardian? Or you never figure out how to play it right while having fun?

I’m guessing English may not be his first language judging by the grammar.

I roughly typed that time, i missed the word “and” between “play” and “make”. I will try this one tonight to see if it work for me

Thanks for advice.
This is my first post because i have no problem with the another classes. I run warrior, thief that participate in FOTM with 40 AR PVP WvWvW and all dungeon very well. Still i cannnot make fun with only my guardian. (having fun while playing my guardian)

From today, i take ur advice and study about guardian mechanic.
Ps. my enlish writting skill is bad because i am asian, but i read well, okay?

I have create and play my guardian to Level 80 and never figure it out to play and make fun of him. This is my built and trait “http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNApdWl0ApRodCxWI8DNx8gUbgCY/Mb07aB-TBTBABWcIAeSJWWKPAS9nnPBANYiLF9ALcEAkQJ4R7PEjmAAeAAkC4ilRA-e”

My build can go alone with any champions, of cause, consume a lot of time to make it. I can assist people who fight against powerful foe and bring it down with his or her health above 50% during the fight.

When i run dungeon, i use the power and boon of my comrade to obtain enough DPS, I have try condition build but it fail to obtain enough burning damage

PS. In my opinion, Guard have many synergist trait and skill, but they are on a different line of trait so guardians power are limited
