Guild Wars 2

lazarus.1639:

Quick question: what resources have the people who missed ‘’key parts’’ of the first season, or are just new to the game (or are Chinese) to know these characters?
I really don’t know, and I thought they would have added some kind of introduction or something, but i really have no idea.

Nope, you just get thrown into the events. Who are this comrades? Who are zephyrites? What’s going on? No answers, here is story in your face.

Also, where are my old friends? Where is Faren, Queen or her left hand mesmer? They were in some past event (with new Divinity’s Reach and, AFAIK, Scarlet) and now they aren’t.

In my situation, I saw some events with Scarlet and her mechanical madness, but why and how it ends I don’t know. Now I have something more interesting – not global event, but new story! – and I know nothing of it. This is actually pretty awful and meanly.

Also, why those Charr and Asura so ugly? They don’t like normal asura and charr, like cinematic version of them. Also human girls have the same illness, but in less degree. Those big eyes of Charr are ugly and emphasized neat face of asura… Terrifying.

I only played original story with Zhaitan and don’t know who are Kasmeer Meade, Marjory Delaqua and others? Where can I read previous story? Who are they? Why are they my comrades? This is very confusing, while wiki provides very short sighted and uncolorful view on them.

Thanks in advance!

A game in wich there’s no trinity…but where only ZERKER works, yeah, not a great success.
I feel tired of being considered noob if, as warrior, i use celestial/tank build with shouts (i find this pretty good for evrything) instead of KITTEN BERSERK WITH BANNERS.
So so so BAD design!

PS: and obviously when doing dg or champs, i’m the one who ’’ress’’ others, but no, i’m a waste of DPS. Cool …-not-

This. I am using CD cause I like one-handed swords… Set is Apothecary, sword/bow, so bleedings/burning/poison is my way with healing from shouts. And now I am useless on:
1) objects, like burrows
2) enemies who cleans their cond
3) champions, when cap of cond (like invasions)
4) Teq
5) With some CD characters in party (thief/necr)
Which are almost everything in game. I was forced to buy zerk gear to play dungeons (no one needs CD war, only zerks).

And I am useful.. Nowhere in PvE. “Balance”!

Last 2 thoughts about warrior from me.

First of all, I want to thank you for moving Lung Capacity to Tier 1, because gain ability to take Shrug it Off is absolutely FANTASTIC. Seriously, after rethink of it, capabilities of taking this trait is really splendid . It’s great news!

And second, I think “Reviver’s Might” is kinda weak for Grandmaster minor trait. One stack might for reviving ally – I even forgot about that trait. In my opinion, make Vigor boon, Regen or Fury is better. Vigor can help after usual dodge after reviving, Regen is always helpful and Fury is kinda close to “Reviver’s Might”, as “Reviver’s Fury”. Aegis, Retaliation and Protection aren’t common boon of warrior, but Swiftness and Stability for 1-2 secs are pretty nice to locate yourself after reviving.

Shield is solid

Actually, it is not.

Red Falcon.8257:

Triple Banners

No one needs three banners at same time. As I wrote before, you need to choose one of them to current situation.

I want to clear one thing about traits of warrior and one build. Banner’s build.

I like idea of support-warrior with shouts and banners (tactician or leader ), but first of all, I can’t combine heals from shouts (which are good enough) and Banners (which are pretty bad). Why Banners’ traits are bad? Let me explain.

If you put enough points to take “Inspiring Battle Standard” they will grant regen to allies and you around Banners, BUT. This regen, unlike Ele’s regen in water, does not stack with other regens. What does it means? It means that every another regen from another skills (like any of guardians or engeneers) would not stack, leading to decrease efficiency of another players (and their expectations from their actions, by the way) and making IBS traits choice does not worth grandmaster tier. More of that – grabbing more than 1 banner is not so helpful, because regen still not stack. It leads to wasted 30 points of traits for 1 banner and 2 other, not enhanced slot skills.

And even with -20% CD on Battle Standard he gives small buff for skill with 192 sec cooldown. Constant spam of 1 fury + 3 might with 25 sec >> 1 Fury + a lot Might and Swiftness with 192 sec, single rally, while this buff attached to the place (!).

I use this build for solo killing champions, to overstay them. But in party (which is obviously oriented for party, because its BANNERS after all ) this traits aren’t good at all.

My opinion to move trait IBS to Master tier, so I can combine Shouts and Standard.
Or to make IBS regen not standard boon, but special effect, like Ele’s regen and decreasing CD on Battle Standard.

But, I must admit, this is great changes, I love you, A-net. <3 Keep a good work.

Aridia.3042:

Longbow1 needs a chance cripple

My opinion, that best thing they could make is to make “Opening strike” not small 1 stack of vulnerability, but cripple target for some time. And, probably, make it refreshing every X (maybe ~15-20) secs in battle, with rename of this passive. It’ll help and sounds logical.

I think, that slot skills of warrior are pretty lame at this moment. You talking about making skills more “cool”, but, personally, warriors’ skills are most boring between all classes.

My thoughts about warrior:
Physical skills have too long cooldown for their minor usefulness, narrowly focused, dealing funny damage. I didnt see any warrior using them. Shouts leads to facerolling gameplay (and this is even from my point as user Vigorous Shouts build), which is not very exciting. Sigils are boring. Standards are nice, but they are far ahead of fun Ele/Guardian/Engee/Thief skills. I think physical skills must be reworked or they need buffs a lot.

How does bleeding scale from changing C.D.?
I mean, if I applied stack of bleeding, he will deal same dmg from mine condition damage when I applied it? Or, whenever I switch to another weapon (losing some of my condition damage), it will scale for current CD and lose some damage on bleedings too?

Wethospu.6437:

Now I’m using 30-0-0-10-30 with Empower Allies. Weapons are usually Greatsword + Axe/Mace.
It’s the current meta build, no surprises there. Except when someone else uses Empower Allies. Then I go Desperate Power.

Thanks a lot, it’ll help!

Wethospu, how did you change your build after some changes for warrior two months ago?
