Just how many blocks in the rotation kept you from missing all your attacks?
Would be nice if some one can lay this down to research.
The most important thing for competitive wasn’t berserker power, but cleansing ire and Adrenal heal.. which was a massive hit.
Berserker power was the pve trait that was barely keeping power in trash tier dps. Some times you wonder what goes on in these balancers heads.
I still fail to see how boon stripping has been an issue in the past. And even then mesmers and corrupting necros already existed to that end.
Boon stripping just isn’t exciting.. and I’m certainly not gonna be giggling accomplishing such a task when I play warrior.
Especially when boons are re-applied just as quick as they we’re stripped and you’re on cool down.
They could atleast give berserker mode 1 adrenaline tier. So yo would have 2 adrenaline bar procs. Not as good as 3 but atleast not such a guttet version of its old glory.
Well it needs to be it’s old glory.. since it was already kitten especially power warrior.
Apparently spellbreaker is getting a nerf.
That spec was already garbage to begin with.. the dagger animations we’re slow.. it’s utilities we’re gimmicky at best
a nerf to anything in there would just guarantee no one uses this thing ever.
Soooooooo we got what we already had completely stripped, and this was after anet had to give berserker CPR to make it work in both PVE and a massive rework to allow it to survive in PVP…
This was when it was first introduced, berserker was bad… pretty bad, so now they gave us a huge Nerf with a new Elite that’s complete garbage.
Where do we go from there? I mean we could all stay with our condi berserker and call it a day.. but then that’ll get nerfed too eventually.
I wish they’d stop making us player how ever they feel we should be playing..
It’s absolutely utter trash, devs should be a shamed.
More animation time to let others interupt the hell out of us for mediocre effects.
Yes Anet.. would gladly love to hear why this huge unnecessary nerf was required to keep this under-performing spec in well perfect balanced to what it was already capable of?
No offense but WvW and PvP have dwindled down to such a small population now. PvE is unfortunately most likely the biggest of the 3 now by far with raiding being a bit portion of it. If there wasn’t a cap it would be by far the biggest portion of the game , but it is so it’s not as big as it could actually be (obviously for good reason but just saying).
There should definitely be splits between pve and wvw/pvp , note I said wvw/pvp – wvw should not be lumped into PvE at all since it’s not true PvE.
Raiding is a small portion off pve, less and less people raid each week with the lfg now filled with people selling raids or opening instances..
This move they pulled was very disrespectful.. I know it’s their game and they can do what ever the heck they want..
But To literally trash and make something unplayable to force people to get their expansion. I bought the expansion before knowing it was gonna be this bad.. now I regret ever buying it..
I’m not even hyped for spellbreaker anymore, thanks anet
Let’s not forget the current nerfs from before.. the slow mo burst and shield we’re left as is on top of these horrible changes.
Well once they get their money.. they better fix this nonesense…
The balance.. was so bad, I bet who ever gave the ok must have shed a tear but had to look away in despair..
No? didn’t think so
This needed to happen, warriors were broken in wvw and couldn’t be killed in a 1v1 against most classes.
you mean the stat Trailblazer was broken… not the warrior’s fault or any other classes that uses full set of that in wvw…
Seriously.. this was the first thing I saw immediately before their happy Joyful go use axe now junk.
This pretty much robbed the berserker of any hopes to survive any long fights…
seriously sickening nerf.. time after time after time after time… now how am I suppose to fight Condi mesmers…
Here’s a question;
Should 100 Challenge Mode be doable by anyone and everyone, or those who are willing to spend time learning all intricacies and master all mechanics?
Is it even a challenge mode if I can spend 1-2 hours and become master at it and start facerolling it on daily basis?
No..
As long as RNG and luck is determining whether you succeed or not.. it’s not worth it. You can be trained to have the best reaction in the world.. but if you get unlucky and get the bomb then immediately go down and wipe your party some where along the line.
I have done a good portion of the raid challenge modes..
and have talked with a group of friends who have done all the challenge modes.. and they have not cleared CM for this fractal after trying for days.
To all those people saying.. stop crying, challenge mode isn’t suppose to be easy, seriously shut up.
The goal my friends now have is to do it once and never touch it ever again
Problem with this fractal… you invest a lot of time.. kill the first two bosses then spend a ton of time trying to get the third with this in mind.. “If I don’t kill this final boss I will lose all the effort I put into the last two”
and thus a complete waste of time
They need to cut this out… I don’t wanna take over an hour+ doing fractals
pugs can’t do it, and certainly not worth going around looking for dedicated people and get on voice chat for..

Can you please remove the knockback skill on this enemy?
And also don’t make partners useless… that chapter makes everyone’s skills locked and not able to help the instance owner.
Still hate how they still allow the moves that we’re slowed down not to be effected by quickness.. so they’re still swinging in slow motion.
Please?
It was already bad last 2 seasons, is there really nobody out there that’s like.. hey maybe it’s not such a good idea to have a class with a TON of cc and burst damage to be almost impossible to take down?
Just why.. the endless supply of resistance boon, dmg nullify, burst condi dmg, burst normal dmg.. doesn’t matter what you build, anything goes really.
I can’t imagine somebody being like hey why not ALL of these things?!
Seriously.. if my class gets one more nerf because of whines like these.. I’m taking a break from this game..
Taking a hit for two-three months to a potentially worst balance following up is not cool. Now balances have become a frightening scare for many in hopes that their beloved class doesn’t get gutted entirely.
You’re gonna have to learn to play or play another class..
Head butt is no longer a reliable CC on bars that have short windows.. by the time I’m done casting head butt.. one of these happen
the rest of the party kills the defiance bar, two the enemies attack goes off
Would trade 150 range for -0,25sec cast time any day. But seems far more likely that they’ll reduce the range next. They might even further increase the cast time on top of that.
That would be hilarious…
and the day I swap back to vanilla warrior.
I just wish they fixed more important bugs.. like movement skills actually tracking and connecting like they’re suppose to.
Really hard to understand how some one can take a huge amount from a class and make its attacks slower (and all these we’re specific complains from whines in pvp that we’re hit) then provide a 7% buff and another that is still outclassed by what’s available.
That’s not balance at all..
Condi warr has been strong in pvp since the start of Hot.
Strong yes.. for pvp? hell no, it had to go through life surgery to even be remotely playable in pvp if anyone even remembers how that went.
Exactly.. the kill diversity by taking what we’re useful instead of offering us alternatives.
Giving us a few Axe buff… is not divesity for everything they took.
I love how some ask for more ping for wing 4…. that wing is freaking easiest
If anything I’d ask for 100 pings for wing 3 which seems to be the hardest with all the KC and Xera Shenanigan bugs and glider failures.
We’ll still barely be taken to raids due to tactics support and banners.
Other than that.. pretty terrible dps especially if you’re not using condi
Not to mention it effects the warrior in pve which I suppose some don’t care but I do.. and that’s putting me at less damage than i was before.. What with those crazy animation nerfs that go slow no matter if you have quickness.
Anet, why do you dislike Warrior?
I see “Anet why do you dislike [my current favorite profession]?” in every subforum. Which one is it? Which one do they dislike? We must know!
Pls stop.
Why don’t you stop responding? If that many people are upset about it.. doesn’t that tell you something?
Just…How people make claims about headbutt had no tell and it was impossible to dodge it..and now its sorta doable ? My god,all the l2p issues here while pretending to be any good,hurdur.
Haha, right? Power Warrior mains just need to l2p like the rest of the professions already. Enough with the QQ over this. The profession still performs wonderfully, and still seems overtuned in terms of damage and survivability.
Still overtuned? Let’s nerf it some more then, and make sure it has no survival, let it get kicked around by CCs and reduce it’s healing by another 30%
Brilliant
what could/maybe should have happened.
In other words, slow motion wasn’t enough, it now needs to miss 1/3 times
Wars seem to be the only ones that don’t get that headbutt needed a good balance of some sort. Its now able to be dodged/evaded, albeit still not easy but it’s now doable (esp as a squishy class). There are worse things anet could have done to it and this was probably the least they could have done (don’t know if this was just a lazy easy way out kind of change but it was a change). Try being an outsider looking in and maybe you will truly understand what i really mean.
I know my class well.. which is why I can read other warriors and dodge said headbutt accordingly.
Or I can mesmer and don’t even have to bother with it at all, most seem to use it mindlessly into a block/invun..
Hell I’ve even seen Necros freeze them in mid animation which forces them to proc their resistance early, and then get chilled to death when they can’t get off their burst. No burst? No condi cleanse.. Necro can now fear them even easier once they’re all stripped of stab
I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about.. in order to survive all that condition spam + CCs they gave warrior some serious treatment from going to a dead pvp class to something that can last more than two seconds when Hot first came out.
Now we’re back to square one, but have to deal with slow animations
what could/maybe should have happened.
In other words, slow motion wasn’t enough, it now needs to miss 1/3 times
PvP
I’m just a DH scrub but I will say Axe Whirl Pooper did 6k on me the other day. GS may have mobility but Axe damages on point is no joke.Just thought I’d poke in and give my 2 copper.
Why u no has retal? That warrior would have shreaded himself..
and why on earth did you just stood on a whirlwind with out popping any of your other invuns?
“I’m just a DH scrub” Oh never mind =( please stop posting stuff like this in attempts to make said changes fine.
I’ve won every fight I’ve had with axe tho. But I can’t stop q.qers.
Stop playing vs the golems in heart of the mist,those golems need some rest,try to do it vs an actual player..Fight a dh and please go crazy with the whirl espec when he has retal up..Show me the results !
Or a mesmer.. I’d love to see him chase one down with a good stack of Torment
Are you talking about pve where things just sit still and eat damage? If so, what does it matter if you don’t contribute an equal amount to whatever damage sponges you’re trying to kill?
In pvp/wvw though, no, berserker didn’t (and doesn’t) need a damage buff.
ofc im talking about fractals/raids/dungs and pve in general,no1 is playing pvp or wvw geez.. that train is away like 2 years
Which brings us back to the first question. Why does your personal dps even matter?
Because in Raids.. you want to be as efficient as you can.. if people mess up every second that you pour out can make the difference. Being slow does not help with that
Why do you think we gear ourselves with the best stats/builds/infusions foods.. to make sure we’re bringing 100%
What I’m guessing you’re thinking.. is mindless content that really doesn’t have much meaning.. so anyone can run what ever.
In T4 fractals.. you’ll go down before you can do a cast time on some skills, adding more cast time to slow skills is a huge punishment
Sadly no
in Fractals people want classes that cheese condis for easy and less dangerous encounters where you never have to be in anything’s face.
In raids.. if you can’t provide for the group.. you get the boot. Axe dps is not wanted, not when you have elementalist/dare devil or condi variant of warrior.
Dude are you serious? Have you tried playing with axes yet?!
yes, it still sucks
Keep practicing. You’ll start to play better with time and practice.
Must be flipping kidding, you tell me that as if I’ve just started playing warrior.
AXE SUCKS, has no use in pve end game content, or competitive
Yeah.. they really killed us this time and those sneakering about the changes being good will just say.. Use axe and be godly lol
You use an axe and good luck hitting anything dumb enough to stay in your range.. and have fun chasing them while they murder you with condi
I don’t understand how you people can say that the GS has higher damage than the A/A. If you look at the damage of the the five skills of the GS vs A/A, you will see that the A/A damage is higher than GS, except Hundred Blades. Hundred Blades is the only skill that GS has that is decent. The others all suck compared to the axes.
I have been using A/A for a while, now. But the other day, I went and tried the GS, again. Like every other time in the past that I tried it, I died far more often than I would with axes. Fights that I could win with A/A, I couldn’t win with GS. And that is without changing my armor.
For me at least, GS is simply a loser. It just doesn’t work for me.
Thing you don’t understand.. Axe is a selfish weapon, in order to play it you have to give up the support you provide your team mates.. and for what? Damage that other classes can easily out dps you. In PVE
and in PVP the mobility is far superior than anything the axe has going
Dude are you serious? Have you tried playing with axes yet?!
yes, it still sucks
Condis are easy to apply, Mace is a melee weapon… of course anything that you have to get near to hit some one is gonna be hard to hit.
They are no easier to apply than power damage. You still have to land skills, just like power builds.
Besides who is going to be running condi next season? Rev and maybe Mesmer?
Yes they are.. on every range weapon that is a huge base of where condi applications come from.
if you’re trying to hit people with condis from melee weapons.. than yeah. Meleeing in general is hard when you got people kiting you and letting the condis kill you
We have to speak up.. this is not right, animation nerfs are the worst kind of nerfs.. I would take a power shave over anything that makes me slower.
It’s people that think they’re superman that take a warrior head on and get wrecked. Thieves thinking they can come in and kill warrior in a slug fest and take all the stuns and play carelessly rather than bait and wear them out.
Yes as a warrior I have been destroyed by good thieves, Guardians, hell even Necros that play smart, and absolutely get wrecked by Condi Mesmers moa champs.
Did I complain about them? Or came on here to demand their class nerf?
Nope, got around to countering them when ever I ran into said class
Condis are easy to apply, Mace is a melee weapon… of course anything that you have to get near to hit some one is gonna be hard to hit.
warrior needed the nerf. Powerful synergy is so good now though. i’m so happy about these changes.
You’re happy.. but a bunch of us are not.. I don’t need these dumb pvp nerfs in my raids.. and it’s stupid slugglish..
Especially the GS primal burst.. they went through so much to make this thing not suck.. and now it’s back to sucking
Warrior feels so slow now..
A good portion of these pvp nerfs followed them to PVE.. where that same stupid animation nerf makes them feel slow even with quickness.
So in total we get slow give-away animations, another 10% nerf to sustain.. previous nerfs we’re -10 one season and -10 the following to adrenal heal.. so we’re down to a 30% nerf to sustain.
Then they hit the offense pretty hard with the 33% to 20% nerf to primal.. making the damage even slower (pve) where you know.. people actually care the most. And the mace condi damage nerf? Sounds like who ever balanced this took all the complains witten and just went with it rather than make these rash decisions
All this and for what? So we can say.. axe got buffs.. Cool, still not using cause it sucks.
You want best sustain and best Burst? And be one of the most Passive classes sure that’s interesting gameplay…
Better than what you’d have
