1min 44s demonstrates how necro can survive a fall of any height with none or only very low damage using spectral walk to “reset” the fall length midair. Necro is the only class with this unique ability and using it is not just useful, but FUN. When I have to wait in heart of the mist for a queue the majority of the time i’m climbing up somewhere high, freefalling and landing softly with spectral walk.

omg i havent laughed so hard in a long time…

that video is so worth watching from the beginning… that user is definitely one of the best necro’s i have seen.

RIP Warrior….

You went from the strongest class @ launch.. to absolutely USELESS…

Not only they nerfing everything on it, they are also nerfing the mobility on GS.
So in what way is the warrior getting any love?

Now I can really feel the lack of the main art designer who left for “Destiny” game. Seriously, this couldn’t get any worse…

Oh GW2 main art designer left Anet for Destiny?
no wonder…

i think most of the original staff jumped boat and ran…

funny how they also stated that they would not do race change options because of personal story conflicts, yet they do it to improve leveling experience?

lol…

There is no FIX for this….it’s designed to keep minis from destroying Sever performance and I’m glad they thought enough to put the limitation in there. Much better than the GW1 solution where only the first X number of players with minis out got to show theirs….

Your claim that this performance saving feature is “outrageous” is kind of outrageous…

I hope you’re being sarcastic. A very simple fix would be to hide everybody elses minis but your own in high population maps.

no… cuz then it would need to be done client side, which will open more problems in the form of hacking / duping.

Favorate: CoE P3 – i seem to always get the most loot, as in t5 mats + other stuff then any other single dungeon.

Least Favorate: Fotm 50 – getting an non infused ring after fighting Mai Tran is epic.

ROFL… im laughing so hard at this post as i am also lost.

I too can count with less then 1 hand the amount of people who died at that bridge.
Infact the only times ive seen people die at that bridge is when they do something stupid like fall off it from not paying attention.

Can we verify what you guys are really talking about?
Because that bridge is not that difficult.
Infact, Sorrows Embrace’s bridge skip in path 3 is a lot more difficult then CoF P1 bridge skip.

So can someone clear up what you guys are talking about?

The Game Slayer.7632:

No, let me clarify. It would be a re-usable item in your inventory much like the copper-fed salvage-o-matic so that you can repair armor as many times as you like.
Just like the salvage-o-matic though, you would pay the fee you do for actually repairing it. Or maybe more than the normal fee.

I think the reason why this hasnt been implemented, is the gold sink that repair cost represent right now.

he said the repair fee’s on it would be double the NPC… which would make it a greater gold sink for the convince..

Personally i wouldnt mind something like that… it would be very nice to use in a map where u dont have access to an anvil or a repair NPC… and the double price to repair would also be acceptable.

I am gonna try to keep logical, if i offend anyone i appologize in advance.

1. Fotm after revamp is completely broken. Dredge Map on the higher fotm lvls is BROKEN, requires a very well coordinated team.
Want to do FOTM lvl 50? It requires you to be almost fully ascended, unless u have grinded 512+ dungeon instances to get your AR infusions to +10 multipul times so u can socket your pretty ascended items to +10AR.

2. The entire clothe economy starting with Linen. Name another MMO, or any MMO where T4 mats are the most expensive. You cant, because the price on linen is almost at 6s each as i write this with gosemere, the T6 mat being cheaper then Silk a T5, and Leather being completely useless.

3. Broken waypoints… I mean the Dev’s really put in waypoints so we can use them yet, they are always contested, requires you to run across half the map if you die, because you cant use a contested waypoint.

4. Karma…. The karma nerf is so bad, it hurts. Its totally not fair for the new player base, because they literally have to earn karma on a grind level to afford enough oby shards to get legendary. So if your not lucky to be a early adopter in the game and have millions of karma stored up, its a very long progressive grind.

5. The Gem Store… im not gonna go keep into this, but the Gem store lately has been very disappointing starting with the watch work pick vs the molten pick fiasco Anet decided to do. Yes i do admit a sproket wont break the game, however its really not fair for the people who bought the molten alliance pick to be told, tough luck, when they thought and bought there pick as being the best in class.
The flame Seekers Light armor was also a major disappointment.
We waited how long for a reskin of T4 with flaming effects? Im pretty sure a lot of people asked for refunds on that one after seeing the reskin.

6. Skipping / Stacking…. well we only do it because its the most efficient at times. How about the many crys for help to anet on fixing this so the rewards are worth it for us to kill stuff and not skip it?

And i do play this game.. i do my dailies, my dungeon runs, my karma grind as well.
I have 3 legendaries if you consider eternity as being 2. I am also at fotm LVL50, i have my full ascended, and well, that is how i and most of the other guys who complain about the game feels.

lol u dont like reloging only to have your character litterally thrown out?

but i agree…. because i get thrown out, i am in front of the bank now instead of inside the RT.

The RT has become almost useless on me, as i only intended to keep my mule/side bank inside the RT, which cant happen as she gets thrown out each login.

Naekuh.7925:

I just hope ESO and Wildstar doesnt follow the path Anet did, as i do see myself moving there as well, unless Anet decides to get off there high chair and actually sit with us, the player base.

ESO is already a major grind game for getting skill alone its at least 10hr for the first 10 level it speeds up a bit but your still looking at a major time gap. Wildstar is a raiding treadmill end game system where they will always be a new loot set to get to go after a new level of raid.

I think you have no idea what a grind or a treadmill is if you call what GW2 has as such. GW2 is the most casual mmorpg out there to date and i do not see how ESO and Wildstar with know events and time spend will be “better” if your main complainer for GW2 is what these 2 games use a lot.

How will it be any different then GW1?

Also Grinding treadmill, have you tried to farm for karma reciently?
Its extremely tiring and everything end game requires karma from Oby shards.

The only other option of getting Oby shards is though FOTM.
Have you played a lvl40+ Dredge map?
Why did they need to fix dredge? Why did they need to increase the spawn rates?
Have you also seen the loot tables on Fotm which is driving the entire community insane?

When i first started on the 3 day head starts, you didnt need to grind.
You eventually got everything you wanted over a much shorter time.
However now, you need to grind, or follow mindless World Events in large zergs.

The game has changed so much from launch, that its not aimed at people just coming in. I really feel sorry for the new people who want to get a legendary. They dont know how much more difficult it is to attain then it was even 6 months ago.

Anyhow i threw those games out as competition, not exclusions to the anti grind.
If i confused you in my statement i applogize, as those games never stated they were not a grind. However GW2 was stated by the creators to NOT be a grind, which it has now turned into.

here is my problem with GW2.

The game has turned into a intensive grind since launch.
The dev’s said there is no grind, however everything in the game now requires a grind of some sort.
The karma has been so nerf’d that you need to grind to get karma.
The largest karma pot in this game is stuck in a lvl65 zone on Teq which makes no sense when the claw of jormag is a lvl80 instance.
The economy in the game makes no sense whatsoever with linen being the most expensive cloth at T4 followed by silk at T5 and Gosemere being the highest teir having value lower then the T4 and T5.

FOTM is ridiculous compared what it used to be. Instead of fixing the map, they decided to make it so difficult at the higher lvls, that its very hard and very time consuming to complete

Waypoints…. how are we suposed to use these gold sinks if the waypoints are ALWAYS contested? Even better how are we supposed to unlock some of them when the event chain is bugged and left unfixed for MANY MANY months. Why do we even have some of these waypoints in the game when they NEVER become uncontested.

The Gem store… Ahhh this used to be my favorate place, however the content in the gem store lately has been less then appealing. Instead of actually listening to us in our want thread, they blatantly ignore us. They give us sub par stuff like the flame seekers light and expect us to praise them?

End Game… there is no end game… the only end game in this game is grinding for Karma or Gold, and doing these mindless zergs at world events.

I honestly dont see much of a future in this game with upcoming games like Elder Scrolls Online, and Wildstar unless the Dev’s decide to ACTUALLY listen to us.
Infact half my guild is going to disappear once those two games come out, and the game will get even more empty.

With the karma nerf’s the game isnt even friendly to the new population either as they will have a very long and heavy grind to get what used to take a weeks worth of karma in a month. This is NOT a good way to keep your audience.

Finally the Zerk Nerf which is suposed to come, because a fraction of the player base cant play with a Zerk Meta they decide to nerf Crit%, however instead they will end up crippling Celestial Meta… i really dont think the DEV’s were planning anything out. Instead i think a Dev got upset when he got kicked because he was not in a Zerk outfit and decided to penalize the entire community.

That is my outlook in this game.
The game is broken as it is from my point of view… Economy BROKEN… Content BROKEN… dont have to grind aspect… MAJORLY BROKEN…

I just hope ESO and Wildstar doesnt follow the path Anet did, as i do see myself moving there as well, unless Anet decides to actually sit with us, the player base.

i think i offically gave up fotm when i realized i was getting more non infused rings then anything on a lvl50 instance.

I mean really? I already have enough of these rings im my storage which are already infused, do i need to add more non infused stuff to it?

And do you really call a non infused ring on a lvl50 instance a reward?

Anet i really wish you guys would remove the non infused from the drop tier after lvl20….

I have been searching and searching for Final Fantasy – The Prelude.
I would love it if someone musically inclined could translate it for me.

I can only seem to do the start… and i get completely lost…

why should we kill / not skip when the rewards are not worth the time invested?

Like someone else said in an earilier thread… OP please post a video of you full clearing ARAH P4, and we’ll consider it.

Seriously id like to see a DEV livestream fotm40+ dredge.
The increase spawn rate on the clown car is just abnormal and annoying.
The switchs you have to do and the gate at the end with vets hitting hard at high lvls is near impossible unless u have a cordinated FOTM group.

Dredge map is so unbalanced compared to the other maps its really sad.

karma will pwn you..

again… with the karma nerf you will cry as its very difficult to farm karma now with the nerf’s anet have done.

considering you require approx 400-450 oby shards at 2100 karma EACH, u require almost a million karma..

so again… KARMA will hurt you badly…
Farm the karma more then anything… and typically all the others will follow.

And if u dont have your precursor…. oh man….
Dont get me started on precursors… i have 3 legendaries, and not one was gifted from the mystic tolie.. err forge…

no…..

your not thinking of the dangerous aspect of what happens when your account get hacked.

Hacker goes on… unsoulbinds all your gear / legendary and sells it.

You will CRY.

if anything to change it to account bound is preferred so u can flip it to another character, but we have that feature in the form of a transmutation splitter.

yes u can ask for refund and dont stop there.

ask for the transmutation crystals you used on the armor to get those back as well.

People have been refunded the 800gems + the cost of 6 transmutation crystals.

I am very upset at the new skin.
We waited so long for a reskin of something which was already in the game.
I thought Anet was going to get real creative, but it is a extreme let down.

this honestly wont fix anything…

then people will lower the price on buy orders to compensate the tax.

If you want to change something, then have the tax be applied after the sale is completed, so u dont need to front up the listing fee.

Instead u get a larger tax deduction from the buy order price AFTER its been sold.

tolunart.2095:

axelbodo.2673:

Is there any update on fixing this problem? An ETA would be good.

It depends on how good the Superbowl is – if it’s a close game, it might take a while.

lolz…. if this was the case, the entire IT department would be terminated.

Its more like the sooner we finish, the sooner we can get back to the super bowl… not the other way arround.

anyone else hear the background to chocobo music while reading the OP?

i do agree with you on a mount tho… only because the game isnt the same as anet intended.

I do not think anet expected so many of the maps to not be visited after map complete.
I do not think anet assumed NO ONE would uncontent Waypoints making a good 75% of them unuseable.

I always ask my guildies, what is the point in all these waypoints that the game has if its ALWAYS contested.

This makes the waypoints as a money sink fail…. because they are unusable until someone is on the map unlocking them.

And when someone does, its only for a moment they stay open, before no one can defend the said waypoint and it locks up again.

Pay2win means u pay actually money.

Gold to gems destorys the Pay2Win motif, because you dont need to pay.

I dont understand why people keep saying its Pay2Win, when u can Grind2Win also.

There is no pay2win….

nonono… it doesnt shrink..

the glob applies an intense gravity to compress the wood like Fiber board making it as hard as a diamond.

Since tree’s are carbon based, it turns them into diamonds!

The problem with these chests are they are not worth the cost.

I have opened a few reciently because i was getting them for free on map complete.
However after using the free keys, i can say for a fact i am NEVER purchasing one.

Is this the kind of marketing you guys really want?
Because this is the marketing that these chests are giving.

Also replacing guild discoveries with essences of luck was a TERRIBLE move.

Which person in upper management thought this was a good swap?
Because we can get essences by just breaking down blues and greens, guild discovery on the other hand is something which requires more capital.

Anyhow, for those of u guys who want to still gamble on this long dark hole that we call the black lions chest, hats off to you.

However you will never see me waste any of my real money, or converted gold money on keys, in which the only way i will be happy would require a near godly RNG table of luck.

Again.. i thought the point in these chest was for anet to make money….
Yet im pretty sure no one will spend real money on getting keys after opening a few.

Now if u want to waste or burn your gold converted gems… then again.. that is your call, however thats not how anet makes money.

I have the bank and TP one.

I was thinking of getting the merchant later on, however after reading this post, i probably will pass if i cant have both out at the same time.

The bank at least isnt a NPC, its a direct Bank Open.

On that note, i should see if the Golem counts as a NPC that u get for 7 days on new characters with the deluxe.

i thought in GW2 End Game => Fashion Wars 2.

Oh there is also TradePost Wars as ur constantly trying to undercut or offer higher on the trade post.

if u think thats a real item… the person who trolled you won..

i believe theres also one called a “ban hammer” which had like 99999 base dmg stats.

all of map chat LOL’d when the guy posted in map chat.

Mightymealworm.8409:

junho.7825:

Whatever we say, warrior haters keep asking nerf warrios no matter what.

wait what? I think I can hear that other professions are saying new HS is still OP

Yo bro, all the classes except ele have had a nerf or 2 announced already. Some of them much larger than 8% HS passive reduction (with a buff to active!). We don’t have all the proposed changes yet either. Some shaving all around is probably to be expected due to the upcoming sigil changes anyway. Lose the tunnel vision already.

if u want to take it that way..

name a single class which got nerf’d as hard as eviscorate did right after beta…
You cant… cuz no skill got a very large dmg reduction as well as a leap reduction that eviscorate did making it almost usless to what it was during beta. :P

however i agree with the eviscorate nerf when it came… who enjoyed getting 1 shotted?

i couldnt stop laughing at how fast that warrior went “see ya”.

You can totally tell that mesmer was sitting there raging going OMFG.

Also that warrior that boned out is pretty much useless as others have said.
Sword and GS are not the 2 weapons one likes to take to wvw unless ur going for quick POI grabbing.

Putting all those skills into mobility will kitten your dps and ability to kill.

Putting all your traits into passive healing and Condition clense will again, kitten you so bad, even a thief will laugh at you as ur tickling him.

So u guys are complaining that a warrior is able to run faster then lighting when its traited only to run?

How about feeling bad for the warrior because in that spec, IT IS ONLY ABLE TO RUN.

Lastly the only time i ever got lucky and hit something with my GS and HB was when a dumb mesmer opened a portal right in front of me…

And well… i got a lot of badges thanks to that mesmer.

Xillllix.3485:

Celestial gear is already very low on damage, I can’t believe Anet would go to the point of breaking their game and nerfing the celestial set more than berserker’s.

to be honest i dont think anet is even aware of how badly the celestial attire is getting hit.

they seem to have tunnel vision on zerker sets, that they refuse to see the fallout from it on the other gear.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

ParadoX.3124:

Wow 2000 gems – 44% = 1600 gems, GG ANet

1120 maybe ?

The discount is calculated based on the individual retail price of all items in the pack.

if your still taking 44% off everything… the final value should be 44% less…

which the OP is showing its not..

That kit is a bag of LOLZ… as i have said..
Its obviously from the same person who thought the swim booster would be great seller.

remove WvW from Gift of Exploration please…

Then it will be fine.

Adding the WvW requires players to PVP… and there is no way to AVOID not PVPing to get discovery in WvW unless ur server is overpowered and stomps everyone.

i dont understand it either…

the buy order on it is higher then yellows… which u can get ectos from….
someone is monkeying with the exchange…

If anything its probably the force sigil…. however major sigils should run for more then 5-6 silver….

it went on sale for like 24 hours and disappeared during new years.
I dont think its gonna come back until most likely summer break, or the next big living story arc.

Infact all the good stuff in the gem store has been substituted for useless stuff.

Emote pack..

id pay 800+ gems for more emotes… possibly all the ones in GW1.

More Female Type heavy shoes… The phalenx was in the right direction with how heavy female shoes should be… however they rise way too high.
If it cut off at the knee it would look much better with the outfit.

MOAR Costumes!!!
I love all the Cash Shop Gear.
It doesnt break the game, it doesnt do anything cuz its pure aesthetics.
I would love more attire in this game… possibly from your other game Aion.
I and many would not even complain if you guys straight up stole some of the outfits from AION and brought it here.

I am also sure you guys would sell a LOT more AION type costumes then anything else u have sold in the gem store up til now, and would not waste man power on redesigning. IT would be straight programing to bring the palate over from AION to us.

Infact im sure it would be a months best seller if u guys did bring out AION costumes to this game.

Lastly.. i would love a mounted steed which gave u 33% swiftness all the time.
However the mounted steed would leave the moment u entered combat.

The steed can be part of town clothes… but allows us to move from one poi to anther much faster when out of combat.

You could even use it as a gold sink, by allowing us to purchase a mounted steed each zone which lasts 12 hours.

There are so many ways you guys can improve the gold sinks in this game, and the gem store if you guys would listen to half the things we ask.

lordkrall.7241:

The game needs to make money in order to survive.

It seems they dont care about making money at all with the stuff which has come out.

A Node to make at your home town location…. its consumable which means destoryed… Most of us use Lions Arch as a home base… not Divinity or any of the other Home locations.

That black lion combo pack for 1600 gems… that is also another bag of LOLZ…

LOLZ to the person who packaged it and thought it would be a cool seller at the Cash Shop.
LOLZ to the person who wants to buy it.
LOLZ to the people who actually bought it.

well if the food could stack with banner hero buff’s.. i think it may be worth it.

Behellagh.1468:

Remember, a lot of the “helpful” items at the shop is for those players who don’t have the time to play as much as the “hard core”. Therefore items like the extractor or selling gems for gold is there.

As of 12/17 the current gem exchange is:
250gems = 13g 31s.

Currently the most expensive Rune/Sigil one can buy is Superior Rune of Divinity.
Current buy now price is 10g 87s.

Even if u went the lazy route traded gems to gold, it still doesnt make any sense at all.

The item was not priced correctly in trend of actual value.
Id be suprised if anyone would actually buy it, as trading the gems for gold direct and rebuying the sigil to replace it would be a more viable route while still netting you an extra 3g if were talking about divinity.

20g is too much. You would be able to buy the sigil/rune u are replacing along with serveral more for the price of that one extractor.

The extractor makes no sense…. one would rather replace the sigil for at most 5g (extreme) then pull out a soulbounded one for 20g.

So after coming back from a 6month haitus i finish my predator.

So my original twilight dated last year costed roughly 790-900g.
This twilight because of the stupid gift of wood which is also in competition with ascended mats costed me over 1200g.

:\

Sigh…. inflation… i know i told myself id never do it again, however i wanted a complete legendary swap on my war.

And i am really regretting it cuz of how much things have inflated and i could of probably decked myself in full ascended at the cost of that single rifle.

as u regenerate your lost power it becomes a “cooldown”

also the thief has the type of skill set ur asking for.
Its not based on cooldown, but u got a bar which has how many bursts you can perform before it needs to be refilled.

anyone even have a exo water breather? lol…

i agree with you on the revamp of water tho.
The dev’s at prelaunch were all hyped about water… the fact u can move up up down down left right left right, and push B + A .. err.. no wait.. wrong game..

But u get the point… they tried so hard to HYPE water, yet its probably the most lacking aspect in the game, without even a Exotic Water breather.

can i please get heavy class shoes which were meant for females and not something straight up ripped from Rift?

I mean the armor in general all looks like something TRION has been using to keep up with a “sort of realistic” armor motif.

Compare the 2 games yourself.. Rift vs Guild Wars2… the armor is near identical.
Did you guys use the same designers? Because currently the theme in this game is a hash between WOW and RIFT, which is VERY BAD.

Realistic doesnt include weapons which display the galaxy and sunrise, bows which fire rainbow pony horses, and a sniper rifle which looks like it doesnt fit anywhere in the GW2 timeline.
So can we get some creative armor along with our creative weapons?

Can we please get some really pretty heavy armor which has the design intended for females?

Also can you tell me why our BL Gem shop has nothing but garbage?
If its suposed to be a income revenue source, how come its so lack in the costumes.

Can i ask who in management thinks its a great idea trying to sell town clothes which have no appeal, which is going on right now in the gem store?

Xyonon.3987:

I haven’t seen a class where I have to admit that 2h weapons have stronger skills in general – they haven’t.

greez

warrior… hundered blades… (Greatsword)
No other skill in the game has a higher DPS multiplier on a single burst.
Infact the skill is so HAX at early levels, it allows the warrior to face stomp though zones 5-6lvls higher then what he is, and still take down an enemy with 1 burst.

Eviscerate used to come close with AXE, however it was Nerf’d to half its current potential at game launch.

Ive seen some Zerk Warriors pull over 50k Hundred Blade Spike when target is CC’d and War is mighted 25stacks.

Of course we all know the 1 major drawback to HB… the fact ur rooted.

Taku.6352:

Xae Isareth.1364:

Its weird. What would happen if you put 2 bloodlust sigils on the same weapon, or 2 different sigils.

They would use the same rules as two 1 hand weapons. And if you use 2 bloodlust sigils you get stacks per kill which means you need only 13 kills to get the max 25 stacks.

this is so wrong…
Bloodlust, precision, and conditional dmg, along with the old magic find can not stack on each other.

If your weilding 2 bloodlusted items, only 1 will work.
The other will go into hiding.
If you have a bloodlust and precision, then whichever has the stack pop up first will be the working stack, while the other goes quiet.

You can stack bloodlust + fire, or speed, however u can not stack 2 things which gives u bonus on kills.

I dont think u can even stack demon summoning to bloodlust.

so no if u had 2 bloodlusted sigils, it would still take you 25 kills to get 25 stacks.

Hammer with symbole spec’d is the highest DPS.

Symboles do 600dmg when traited + healing + Protection + vulnerability + the hammer hits twice on the main target.
Hammer lays down symbol at third atk… hence u have a perma symbol on the target if traited for symboles to last longer.

GS cant beat Hammer /w symboles…
Hammer / symbole build allows u to also spec into spirit weapons… so thats an additional 500-600 from the spirit sword.

Symbol trait is so overlooked cuz it makes your allies rooted over the symbol to get its bonuses..

But look at the traits.

Symbol of Protection - Hammer Create a symbol that gives protection to you and your allies.
Symbolic Exposure – Symbols apply vulnerability to foes.
Symbolic Power – Increases damage of symbols.
Writ of Exaltation – Symbols are larger.
Writ of Persistence – Symbols last longer.
Writ of the Merciful – All symbols heal allies.

And these all apply on the auto atk from hammer on the third hit.

DO NOT make a DPS guardian… PLZ dont…

we call them “wish i was warrior builds”….

Guardian is Excellent when spec’d in AH + support but boring cuz it has crap DPS.
Guardian is a wannabe Warrior when spec’d in zerker gear with a GS.

lucktacular.9704:

Naekuh.7925:

Axe/S btw…. 10% crit chance with blade master… 10% crit severity with axe mastery.
Watch your auto spam attack 100% crit.

Actually if you look at the wiki…

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Blademaster

The Blademaster trait unfortunately would not help your auto attack with your main hand axe.

oh… i thought it did…

Anyhow its still = about 90% crit when traited in zerker gear….

You really dont see how strong the axe is until u see CRIT CRIT CRIT (Triple chop) CRIT CRIT CRIT….

Thats when u start going oh wow… AXE… hmmmm..

Sky.3519:

A bleed will not outperform a burst warrior in PvE.

Pretty much search “Gw2 conditions 25” and you’ll begin to understand why.

It’s pretty much globally accepted that burst warriors are some of (if not) the best dps in the game.

+1 to this guy…

until they FIX bleed….
A necro , thief will mess up your conditional if your stacking conditional, and they arent.

Or your gonna mess up their conditional, if they are stacking conditional and your not.

Conditional bleeding is at the mercy of the last stack… meaning if ur holding the last stack.. your conditional dmg applies.

If a DPS trait is doing the last bleeding stack… what should be doing 180ticks per bleed will only do 65 ticks per bleed…. meaning your conditional was NERF’d….

Also the limit of 25 max stacks of bleed is MEH…

If conditional went on the highest stack dmg… that would probably be better… however Bleed is broken.. unless ur the only one doing the bleeding dmg.

Dub.1273:

CookMETEnder.7582:

I saw those calculations before, and they are wrong. (Well, at least the calculating I saw)
They guy was assuming Greatsword immediately = 25stack might.

I did not do tests with any pre-gained might stacks. Neither did i do calculations.
GS DPS is higher than Axe/Any DPS, in about 99% of all situations in open world PvE and Dungeons. Even on single target. It also inflicts more vulnerability.
And to tell you: with GS you will be able to maintain about 7-9 Might stacks for each target.

no axe has higher DPS when traited.

I used to be like you guys saying GS is king DPS.
NO..

I was so wrong when traited in axe.

Axe/S btw…. 10% crit chance with blade master… 10% crit severity with axe mastery.
Watch your auto spam attack 100% crit.

Substained DPS… AXE wins.
Spike DPS… GS win.

CoF…. warriors who do sub 7 min runs are using BOTH GS / AXE.
5sec weapon swap allows u to spam HB.. then quickly go back to AXE, then back to HB right as the cooldown is worn off…

You cant match DPS on ANY class in this setup on a warrior…
