I still have no idea why people think rifles are so potent. They are truly the leech off other peoples engagements weapon. They’re all well and fine when no one notices you and you can plink away happily building up to that killshot.
But when I see those warriors with that rifle, it’s a guaranteed kill everytime. It’s almost sad to see them miss their rifle 5, then try and switch to their other weapon set, which doesnt do much damage since they had to spec in rifle damage.
I have never once ever thought ’ Wow, that rifle warrior sure gave me a run for my money.’
The only appealing thing about the rifle is the range, which minimises kiting. But there’s never a time i would rather have a rifle than a shield in my 2nd set. Shield+reflect trait is so incredibly useful (usually against rifle warriors.)
Really? Well, i would be very happy to find you in WvW and make you change your mind, i use GS and Rifle, not because i like it, but because i need it, Gs for the mobility and rifle for kill moving targets (and bro, they always run when see you coming with your gs, they fear HB soo much).
The only trait i use for the rifle is penetrating shots, so i can hit multiple targets in a large fight, and i use might on crit for gs, and deep cuts for the bonus bleeding time, all other traits are defensive/resistence and i use imobilize on cripple.
For slot skills i use mending, fear me, for great justice, stomp and signet of rage.
Single fights its just a bonus, i never died in 1v1, even if i found some “pro” well geared character as i reach 25% heath defy pain trigger, pop stomp of fear me, swing my gs away then rush, no one can kittening chase me, and belive, as a warrior YOU ARE more tanky then regular ones, i run with 3000 armor and 23k health, ppl takes forever to kill me, as i said, even with low life, running away as a warrior is very easy, so i can say it needs at least 5 ppl to kill me (remember, thats because ill run away, not kill them all).
Changing from survivability to damage, i run with 2,990 attack and 44% crit change unbuffed, i see someone, start shooting, bleed is really good, and even if the target remove the condition you will apply again, aimed shot for cripple / imobilize, brutal shot for that invulnerability then volley (usually hit well geared ppl for 4-7k, bad geared for much more) as a lot of ppl think like you (oh a rifle warrior, lets melee kill him) oh boy, thats what i want, come closer, take rifle butt in your face, swap to GS, bladetrail for a bonus imobilize, rush to come closer instantly and HB, he can avoid tha last hits but with all those small critical hits popping up from HB my might stacks goes up to 15/19 (i often see it reaches 25) because i constantly pops great justice and signet of rage, then just imagine the bleeding damage with all those stacks.
When i started with my warrior, reading warrior forum just makes me want to reroll a thief, mesmer or guardian, but i keep it on and reached 80, no regrets, now im full exotics and bro, i dont change my warrior for anything, i kill full exotic rangers, ele, necro, mesmer (at range) all the time in a ranged fight without even picking my GS and i just imagine they thinking “wtf? how a warrior can do this in a ranged fight” and the funny part is thats just because i know how to use my character
