Guild Wars 2

NikeEU.7690:

There is no possible way that Last Blaze is better than smash brawler in sustained DPS. Your sigils, rune and gearing choices are un-optimized.

The problem with this build is it has no reason to exist. If a raid team wants pure dps, it brings an ele or thief. If they bring a warrior they want Might and Banners, not a random condi warrior with sundering leap.

I’d like to see your sugestions for better sigils, runes and gearing for the build.

The common rotation for Condiwar with Smash brawler and activating berserker mode as soon as possible is pretty simple according to Metabattle. I can only believe I’m doing something very wrong as everytime I test it, my build hits A LOT more.

Once, I had a guildie im my party, both of us had DPS Check activated and both of us had about the same ascended gear. He played the Condiwar like most people do. My damage was much higher.

I have 5 different ascended characters in my account and I mostly follow meta builds… None of them hit more than my Condiwar.

Have you really tested my build?

Timed Weapon Swap can easily mitigate most of the cooldown loss without Smash Brawler.

I’ve never claimed it should replace Ele/Thief/PS War. I’m claiming it might have great damage and better support than most DPS builds.

I’ve done lot’s of theorycrafting, TESTING, and I ’ve compared it to many builds in MetaBattle; and now that we have those testing golens for PvE, I could get more accurate results before posting it.

If you check the build on the link, you’ll see Last Blaze and Sundering Leap and you’ll quickly disregard this build, but let me explain the gameplay and you’ll understand me:

Primal Bursts have good damage and give us good buffs, we’ll definitely use them. But 3 bars (normal) burts hit more, thought they have bad cooldowns.

The main idea with this build is to use 2 fully charged Combustive Shots in a sequence before activating Berserk Mode and the usual Berserk Mode rotation.

How? You start the fight with Sundering Leap. Doing so, you have already activated your first Last Blaze and you immediately have 3 adrenaline bars.

After Sundering Leap, you press f1 (1st Combustive Shot).

Now, you press Shattering Blow + Blood Reckoning. You activated Last Blaze twice, you have 3 bars again and you have no cooldowns.

So you press f1 again (2nd Combustive Shot)

Now you need a few seconds before Berserk Mode to avoid cooldowns, so you press Bow Skill 2 + Skill 5 + (if necessary) Skill 3.

You use Head But (another Last Blaze + Full Bar)

Just now you activate Berserk Mode, and start using your Primal Bursts from the Bow and the Sword and all the most effective skills like Metabattle until Berserk Mode is over and you start the rotation with Sundering Leap again.

Why not Smash Brawler like everybody else? We have too many Rage Skills in our bar to pass Last Blaze and you can easily time your Scorched Earths and your Flaming Flurries so you don’t miss the cooldown reduction so much.

Please, test it and give me your thoughts.

Agreed.

It kills the mood. Cutscene is supossed to be na awesome moment in RPGs.

But in this game, cutscenes have worse grapphics than the usual gameplay!

This game is huge in download size, what’s the matter in adding a few GB to make cutscenes look better?

Though I love Sylvari, I’d like to make a banner with my Charr and the quote: “I have better reason to become a vegetarian now.”

Please Anet, make Heart of Thorns a really strong and serious Civil War! I’ll play it both as a Sylvari and as a Charr. My Charr will love to kill some Sylvari and my Sylvari will be awesome standing against the world.

Fractal Reward level 80 here, and I’ve gotten skins from 20-48 since I reached it. No Ascended weapon drops though.

That’s really good to read. Do you remember when did you last drop a skin/ring? Today (11/02/2013) I did another 48 run and got nothing.

I’d be most relieved if someone in the fifties said he got a skin from the last few weeks though.

I am level 50 and I can assure you, that the guys posting above are level 80 pr. And your concern is telling me, why you even doing fractals if you don’t know how the rewards work. I have only ever gotten one skin with over 100 dailies. Its all RNG. Dont like it no one on this forum cares anymore, we all getting sick of people complaining about rewards.

Wow, I got a lot of skins, I even destroyed them to free up some space. Every one knows that in 100 tries you’re very likely get a lot more than one skin if you don’t raise your level higher than 49! My achievement is capped at 484 fractals. I’m not complaining about low rewards! I don’t need the skins anymore as I have legendary on both weapon swaps.

I’m complaining that once your level is higher than 50 your chance of getting rewards seems much smaller or non existent, which is a bug or intentional, but unfair nonetheless! Lvl 80 might be an exception. I give up. People here are not even trying to understand what I’m saying. I’ll wait for Arena reply my request.

I doubt someone has a Fractal reward level higher than 60.

Good laugh.

So, good to know.

How long ago did you last drop a skin in fractal lvl 80?

Considering logic, the last one I got at level 80 was somewhere around january, but the most recent one I got on lvl 48 was yesterday.

I really don’t believe you. I’ve done more 20 runs in 48 since I’m 52, and I got nothing. It’s not just bad luck. Something is really wrong. I was getting skins pretty often before I raised my level.

If you’re not going to believe my response why did you ask for one? x_x
its RNG, its random in essence, if you start trying to find patterns in it you will go insane.

I’m not trying to find a pattern. I’ve even sent a request to ARENA asking if it’s something intentional (got no response so far). It’s just that a person with fractals lvl 80 droping a skin YESTERDAY is too fit.

So, I really think putting your personal reward level higer than 50 prevents you from getting any skin or ascended boxes!

Is it a bug? Is it intentional?
.

Level 80 here since before I can remember, short answer is NO, a personal lvl higher than 50 does not prevent you from getting a skin or ascended boxes.

It’s not my level. It’s my fractal reward level. I am level 80 too (ain’t it obvious enough?). My fractal reward level is 52. I doubt someone has a Fractal reward level higher than 60.

I know difficulty 51-80 is not intended to be unlocked at the moment…

My personal reward level is 52, as I played odd numbers with other players, juts to raise my personal level.

The problem is: Ever since I’m 52, I haven’t got any weapon skin, ring or ascended box from Maw lvl 48. I said 48 guys. And I’ve done “48-runs” MANY times after raising my level, but I’ve got nothing.

So, I really think putting your personal reward level higer than 50 prevents you from getting any skin or ascended boxes!

Is it a bug? Is it intentional?
Is there any way I can lower my reward level back to 49?
This is really disapointing.

Before any of you say it: I know skins and boxes are rare from fractal. I’m saying it seems impossible to get them now for me, which I consider it’s unfair.
