Guild Wars 2

Well if you build your condi warrior well you can really take advantage of the adrenaline mechanics on-crit and weapon swap. The passive trait that grants adrenaline on weapons swap coupled with cleansing ire really helps for sustainability. Swapping back and forth from LB to S/S helps control the pace of the fight and prevents the enemy from getting too comfortable with one particular set, not to mention the massive condition burst potential of the longbow. I find that in WvW, being able to finish your opponent as fast as possible is one of the most important aspects. Every minute you spend fighting in a 1v1 or a 1v2 is another minute where a zerg or possibly the rest of your oppenent’s guild could potentially show up to steamroll you, and no one wants that. In the end it’s your choice to make, you may die less with a GS on rotation, but you do make a sacrifice for that mobility.

Edit: This is coming from a guy who rarely bothers with sPvP. WvW roaming ftw!

I actually run a roaming condi for WvW, and I gotta say it’s very viable. I use a S/S + LB setup that allows me to stay on opponents or create gaps as needed with a healing signet to stay in the fight. I usually roam alone but it also works fairly well in a group setting as a shock trooper, striking in with S/S and falling back and supporting with burns and AOE with LB. I’d say greatsword is definitely not worth it, I’d never trade the longbow for an escape move, you sacrifice a massive amount of damage and utility as greatsword doesn’t synergize well with a condi build and if you use one it’s purely for mobility.. If I’m outnumbered or out of my depth, popping signet of rage for swiftness and zerker’s stance to mitigate control and using the Sword #2 is usually enough to get me out of combat with the slower classes. Faster classes will usually chase but that just means you can re-engage when the fight is a little more even.

It seems the last patch broke the model for the medium armor: Vigil Leggings

There is now a rather noticeable seam in the midsection of the character where previously there was none. I have taken a screenshot of the problem and placed it next to a screenshot taken just yesterday for comparison: (Bug.png, Bug2.png)

I’ve included a screenshot of the character panel: (Bug3.png)

Equipment is as follows:
Head: Trooper’s Mark of Balthazar
Shoulders: Berzerker’s Duelist Pauldrons of Grenth
Torso: Berzerker’s Duelist Coat of Balthazar
Gloves: Carrion Duelist Gloves of Rage
Legs: Vigil Leggings of Hoelbrak
Boots: Murmur Boots (Lvl 79 Karma armor, “Fine” rarity)

Weapon set 1:
Berserker’s Pistol of Bloodlust
Berzerker’s Pistol of Earth

Set2:

Berzerker’s Dagger of Grawl Slaying
Berzerker’s Dagger of Grawl Slaying

The issue seems to persist even after the removal of all other equipment as well:(Bug 4.png)
