Guild Wars 2

Danikat.8537:

If a constant treadmill of ever increasing stats is what appeals to you, and exotic to ascended isn’t enough of an increase, then GW2 definitely is not the game for you.

It’s highly unlikely we’ll get a new tier of equipment any time in the foreseeable future, even in the next expansion, assuming there is one. Ascended was controversial enough, I can’t imagine it’d go over well if they did that again.

So there’s not going to be any new equipment for you to work towards, except for new stat combinations at existing rarities.

To think of it I always laughed at hamsters and other such animals runing in a treadmill and here I’m doing the same thing.
This is bothering me more than it should ._. But in my defense I want real rewards from doing bosses

Windwalker.2047:

So you dont have the top gear in the game,yet you are complaining about lack of stat progresion?
You haven’t done the raids,yet you are complaining about them being as easy as lupicus (and good luck finding a group with your full exo char).
As for pvp warriors are no longer meta so either adapt and learn to play another class or get used to losing and getting flamed.5% stat increase might not seem much but it turns into 10+% dps increase which is huge in raids.
Sure you might be burned out from the game so either take a break or play some mode you haven’t played before (learning a new class in pvp is quite fun esp now that leagues are here).

I see you don’t have the energy to read long texts. I do not have to enter a raid to see if it is hard or easy if I have seen it in a video. I’m not full “exo”. No it’s not huge dps increase. Raids have what 10 players? 10% inc on one person would mean 1% increase of 10man raid dps. Every class should be found in meta. I liked the guardian dragonhunter skills but as you need freaking 250 skill points to unlock the fun part of guardian… maybe I skip that possibility.

foxcat.4096:

Worth trying wow if you want gear progression ,been around for a long time but with all the changes over the years its basically wow 2 by now and still easily the best of that type of MMO.

As gw2 has no monthly fee its easy to play in combination with other MMOs so its worth trying what else is out there often i find it makes me realize what a good thing we have with gw2 .

I did try wow but that is less cup of my tea than GW2. But yea I like games like that so I tried and loved Archeage till I realized it is P2W

First sorry for my english hope you understand what I try to say.
This is not a rant or I’m not saying GW2 is bad.

I came from a long break(again) and bought HoT. So far I haven’t found anything interesting except the cinematics and the story. I haven’t tried Raids yet but from what I have seen from videos it reminds me of doing arah (Lupicus mainly) but instead of 5 people you do it with more people? A huge “hard” boss to do with a team. And what is the reward? What I saw from videos it wasn’t impressive. What they guy on video got was crafting materials and some exotic helmet. Why would I need that? I got like 4-5sets for my character already. Craft what? Acsended armour? For 5% stat increase? Acsended weapons I understand is a bit more than 5% stronger and imo worth getting.

I can’t get satisfaction from a game which doesn’t let you to develop your character. I have had same gear (except accesories) since a week after headstart. I have spent a lot of time making my character look as cool as I can be. Gear reflecting the name. But I have achieved what I want from the looks a long time ago and I don’t really look for a game that doesn’t give your character to advance in strength but instead mostly what you can do is get equipment skins aka the visuals or looks of the items.

I have played 3000ish hours which was mostly either fractals/guild events or just chatting in town. Last being the thing I really did the most as people seemed to fear, yes… FEAR dungeons. Specially Lupicus which btw is pretty kitten easy as soon as you calm down. They feared it even if I told I do not care if they don’t know how to run it, I told I will teach them. I told them that I do not care if the run fails but no I had to keep telling same kitten for hour or two till they came. But this ofc is not the GW2’s fault.
I also have fair amount spent in WvWvW and a bit in sPvP. WvWvW was probably my favorite thing in GW2 but things tends to get repetitive after a while. Specially in WvWvW where people mainly follows a commander and kills each other or builds what commander says. I don’t think that is a bad thing but just can get boring after a while. I main a Warrior(See you guys in Valhalla!) which I heard is mainly a weight on PvP team’s shoulders. So PvP atm is not an option.
Had world 100% discovered before HoT came

PvE is unsatisfying as my character can not advance and develop anymore. Loot is useless for me. All I can do with my gold is make my character look cooler. But doesn’t matter how much gold I would have, no matter how much PvE I would grind my character would never get stronger than it is now, except if I get the amazing 5% stat increase from acsended armor.

I have made the other profession characters and leveled the ones I liked/loved to 80 and geared them and made them look pretty.

Do you have any suggestions what could I do in GW2? Did I overplay the game? Even HoT doesn’t seem to give a reason to come back to GW2

Attached the imo pretty characters of mine

Thank you for your time and answers. I will stay as warrior

So all I hear is warrior is not worth playing. Warrior is worst class. Does nothing but stacks might? What happened?

If warrior is as bad as people claims wouldn’t ANET fix it fast? Is it bugs that causes Warrior to suck and what happened to warrior? It used to be durable very good dps? Does it suck in WvWvW, PvP and PvE?

a t s e.9614:

The thing is that you are extremly biased as a player. You probably only play warrior and have no succes on any other class. Go ask anybody who isint biased if warriors are balanced, somebody like sensotix can answer your question.

And thief 28k backstab , you need at least a proof to back up your statement. 28k backstab is not even possible on a PvE mob with all the potions and sigils, I cant even imagine how a thief hits that kitten a player. Gearless and traitless people maybe? with Frenzy?

Ask vcy guild, one of them was bragging with it. You can even youtube them…

The skill was ridiculous strong… it’s nerfed so it would be closer to balance. The game is going towards balance no matter if you wanted it or not. You like to play everything which is OP? GW2 isn’t then for you.

Hymnosi.5928:

I’m hoping they give us something like poppy has in league of legends, or even Jarvan.

“You’re Mine” 210s CD (after shout cooldown trait) – Player targets enemy, gaining damage and condition immunity to all other enemies. Gains swiftness and stability for the duration, and deals 20% more damage to the target. Duration 10s.

The Crucible 150s CD – Creates a 600 range ring which cannot be passed by players, friend or enemy. Duration 15s, can be cancelled after 3s. Cannot be passed with stability, but can be teleported out of. Allies gain 5 stacks of might and fury for the duration.

exactly Warrior needs something to “challenge” enemy, like guardian has the ring on hammer… Warrior needs something like that.

a t s e.9614:

I dont really have time to argue with clueless people . I have a thief aswell and the only way you can achieve 7k backstabs is by having nothing except damage modifiers in your build . 25\30\x with no blind on stealth . Secondly there’s no evade at all on D\X builds unless your talking about deadly blossom which does no damage at all. Perma stealth and perma blind cannot really work together if you spam black powder you dont have enough initiatives to heartseeker through it.

And I wasent about 3 builds combinated together one the post above , Im talking a talking bout hambow which has all the strenghts I’ve mentionned and alsmost no weakness . Anybody who plays a bit of PvP can tell you that warriors are in a ridiculous state right now .

A heal that cannot be rupted has no place in competitive PvP, thats just a fact . If you cant win without HS you need to learn the class a bit more . And if you think that warriors are weak then you are either lying or need to stop playing this game

in WvW thief can backstab 28k, which is sad… this is achieved by getting group with a guardian who will grant you might and need certain set… my server has this stupid elitist guild runing like 5+ thieves + 1 guardian. Perma stealth literally (except when they attack), and they pretty much hunt zergs… They abuse some certain build… as elitists they abuse every flaw they can find -.-

Flissy.4093:

a t s e.9614:

Honestly they only need to delete healing signet . Bad players will get rupted and stomped without it .

Bad players get stomped with it. Only a bad player will lose to a bad player, unless its a seriously hard counter to whatever you’re playing.

Healing signet counters only very very very low dmg builds aka full bunkers… and bunkers were a problem not so long time ago…

People tend to whine before thinking in these forums :/

Julie Yann.5379:

Nuorus.8415:

BTW if you want to learn how to play go to WvW dueling arena… atleast on my server it’s semi popular. You learn how to play each class by doing so. 1vs1 mostly, it’s the best way to learn. And if warrior is OP then what is the class which defeats Warrior? A god?

Zerk D/P thieves and some Mesmer builds totally wreck 2 of my warrior builds. I usually die to Thieves in about 20-30 seconds, Mesmers usually take longer.

liar, /15chars

Cynz.9437:

uh….what? in pvp stealth is huge disadvantage as you can’t hold points while stealthed…

wvw forums this way ->

This belongs to WvW forums as much as it does to ele/warrior/guardian/ranger/mesmer/engi/necro forums.

OP, it was said by ANET when the game was just hatched from the egg and the sky shined gold(release of the game), that the stealth “weakens” when damaged, but sadly it doesn’t do it. So it was on their mind at least. Hopefully what you ask happens. Some kind of counter play would be nice. I do know CC works pretty good but it’s exactly like fighting an invisible enemy.

These whiners are people who started playing after warrior got fixed. Warrior was known as a free kill for over half a year even with their high hp, high toughness, “easy to play” (looks at thieves) and high dmg. Everyone laughed at warriors, explaining these stats doesn’t matter as long as there is something like protection and aegis on other classes which btw we warriors do not have access to except via lyssa runes (best runes woo go lyssa!). Before HS buff it was seen as useless, warrior had no sustain. Now warrior has sustain which was asked for long time and now those who wants to hit their keyboard with their face and to win the battle by doing that whines they have to actually know what to do to win.

BTW if you want to learn how to play go to WvW dueling arena… atleast on my server it’s semi popular. You learn how to play each class by doing so. 1vs1 mostly, it’s the best way to learn. And if warrior is OP then what is the class which defeats Warrior? A god?

Aldar Arytheon.7128:

If you are refering to the warrior here http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Warrior , yes it’s caduceus manor dungeon armor but unfortunately it doesn’t reflect the same armor, the picture is more of a prototype. Although I like the noble armor from caduceus it’s not shining as the armor weared by guards and captains in claypol town or divinity reach. It has more of a weared armor design . Pitty we can’t have the shiny one, even the prototype one and the guardian helmet from concept art also shoul be subject to player voting. But then we would get something tooo nice in the devs concept probably.

hmm… is my brain damaged or why do I see same armor in your link as CM armor is, same otherwise but the helmet is a little bit different and the chest doesn’t have deer on it. I have multiple CM heavy armors as I love the chest and pants while the gloves and boots ain’t bad either and I can’t spot much difference. That’s how it looks on Human Male Warrior. On other races and genders it looks different though :S

hihey.1075:

Simon.3794:

tbh, anet need to stop giving warriors passive sustain and give them more active sustain and utilities

the concept of warriors being able to “facetank” and no much technic involved is just bad design.

the problem is not these active skills(stances), it’s warriors passive sustain. ele has 4 second complete invulnerbility with only 50 CD(which warrior need 3 utilities to achieve) and can cast other spells during it, no one has problem with it.

Wait, you’re really comparing Ele to Warrior?

hehhe indeed he is… that pretty much shows how serious these topics are… pretty much a joke…

1. Ranger

I think no other class needs help atm. All classes but Ranger seems to do fine everywhere. Ranger is the “free kill” for me in WvW. I don’t like to see any class as free kill…

2. Mesmer, This class is pretty strong but falls below every other than ranger. It can do well in PvP but needs certain build called “PU mesmer”. Other builds should be viable too. I don’t think Mesmer needs as urgent help as Ranger does.

3. Every non mentioned classes. Every single one of them got tiny needs for fixes but it’s nothing serious or something that needs to be fixed fast.

a bit offtopic, when the game was released anet said the stealth gets weaker when the guy is damaged. What happened to that? It doesn’t really get weaker by dmg does it?

Tyrael.7410:

phaeris.7604:

People still defending warriors?

It’s easiest class to play in pvp by far, best survivability, amazing spike damage, amazing mobility. It towers above anything else.

I can’t believe I used to play one so much in pvp and thought I was pretty good at this game, this was before the buffs and healing signet changes.

The guy who just said he put out 23k damage and is whining…..you get to put out that sort of damage whilst still retaining 3k armour and 20k hp. An ele can’t even get close to achieving that sort of output, yet to even try would have 12k hp and 1850 armour, with 0 escapes and 0 defensive traits.

This is why there is an issue with warriors at the moment.

Issue? LOL. Yes Arenanet, please give Ele 3k armor and 20k health and see what kind of response you will get within 30 minutes after the change. I have a better idea, give Thief 3k armor and 20k health as well. People tend to grief after 1 vs 1 counter and class like thief is just too weak at it, they need a boost. Make sure you don’t nerf them while boost their armor and health otherwise they come back here and call us op again.

Tired of reading these kinds of post.

hey hey hey… lets not be unfair here… eles also needs 2s cd on F1-4 skills, and thief needs f2-f4 skills without cooldown and double the ini regen.

uhm the change hasn’t happened yet. All you do is speculate and panic because of that. I do not allow you to react to it yet. After it happens, you need wait a month and then you can cry about it. Otherwise I will eat you.

It hits every single power based character, not just you. Not just your class. Breath the air from your >Air<bear. Relax. Feel the wind. Smell the flowers. Step on a lego.

Buran.3796:

Also, there’s a thing to understand about the WvW raid meta: hammers ALWAYS will be the tool of choice for Warriors, even if damage is nerfed to 200 x hit. The other weapons just aren’t supportive enough for the team to replace the hammers, in the same way as staffs can’t be replaced in the loadout of any raid Guardian. Deal with it.

It’s no hammertrain. You need 2 people to lock someone down forever.
That’s stupid and that should be changed.

What is forever, exactly, to you? You seem to live in your own world were you are god. Come back to earth. There’s different views to this. Sure you need only 2 warriors to stunlock given profession to death, but both have to deal some damage and use a number of skills, and hope that said victim doesn’t pop a stability, something I would’ve done as soon as I see 2 warriors approaching. But then again, you only need 2 thiefs to backstab given profession to death aswell. You need to be more specced into damage, but you have stealth and basilisk venom, no? Any class with 2 people, in fact not even matching class will always have an advantage of one person alone. This is VERY old news, in fact, it was known allready during the stone age. And STILL you only need one click to pop a stability and break the chain. You have to accept and understand that some builds counter others, I run hammer and has done so for a VERY long time, I wreck alot of people in WvW thanks to that, but you know what? Choose a condi build and wear me down or tank me to death. It’s very easy, it happens every day. Most mesmers destroys me. I see that you run a ranger in your description. Don’t do that if you can’t take getting destroyed. They suck as a class, compared to any class. Not just Warriors.

actually a thief can alone 1Hit KO anyone without protection or aegis on them. And also can’t really 1hit KO transformed 40k+ hp players but I mean overall normal folk are killed with 1 hit.

Justine.6351:

(Stronger bowstrings, savage leap, arcing shot) + combustive shot = fiery projectiles, fire shield, aoe might

celestial although it will take some time to aquire

can you tell me about your experience with celestial on warrior? I got the charged crystals now and was wondering if it’s wondering if it’s worth to make ascended celestial for warrior. My friends keeps telling me that it’s waste of gold ._.

It is a waste of time. There is no middle ground in GW2, because it’s bad. Trying to be good at everything means you’re good at nothing.

Celestial means you give up stats you want for stats you don’t.

ehm celestial stats are all usable by hybrid warrior. And warrior has hybrid weapons like sword and longbow. There’s nothing in celestial what you wouldn’t want as hybrid warrior. It wont be best at anything, it will have medium everything. Survival ability, mobility, healing, dmg(which can’t be countered as it is bouth power and condi). This is why I want it. I do not want to be the glass cannon aka best in dmg. I do not want to be the tank. I want to survive in WvW while dealing good dmg.

And if you choose Warrior you will have to listen “Warrior OP Lolz” kind of crap all the time. Or “warriors so eazy” like no matter how good u do others won’t give any credit for it.

Epic.3950:

ProxyDamage.9826:

Interpretor.3091:

For the love of god don’t make a condition warrior. Build a full zerkers set with full divinity runes and practice with that. Condition warriors are useless.

….Why would you EVER run full zerker with divinity in WvW…? Sweet mother of stat inefficiency…

And Condi warriors are fine for roaming/small group fights, although they are naturally inferior to hammer warriors for zergs/bigger groups.

0/10. Wouldn’t read again.

0/10 Wouldn’t consider experienced player.
plz youtube t3hsanny and try to tell him divinity is bad.

his videos are very out dated.

If you want magical heavy class take Guardian and if u want to be pure physical brute take Warrior. In the end bouth are wanted everywhere and good on everything.

Virelion.4128:

Warrior comes to the fight, kill 2 ppl in 1v3 and now he is crying about “OP” in engi grandmaster trait, because he can’t faceroll the 3rd enemy. Well it is so “warriorish”.

still the title says the condition WARRIOR is op, not the enemy.

I want 2h axe

isendel.5049:

Nuorus.8415:

the best part of the kill shot is that you can reflect it back to its source.

Also warriors aren’t broken isendel, you are. Try to turn yourself off and on again and see if that helps. Might want to unplug yourself for like 10seconds or so.

Seriously man, i’ve been playing axe/sword + longbow for a few matches now, i’m rank 42 and i have no experience with war at all, i’ve been effectively holding close point against r50+ people of all sort, engi decappers, mm necro, spirit rangers, there is nothing that can bear the pressure of a warrior, my aoe covers the entire control point and much more, my torment is up 13 seconds every 15, my eviscerate hits for 5+k, i remove 3 conditions every 7 seconds, wanna me to continue?

Anyway, i’m going off topic so i’ll stop it here..

Video or it didn’t happen!
(If you don’t have a video you sound so sure about yourself you can easily make one)

Edit: You play power build huh o.o so your conditions deals almost no dmg…
Rank means nothing. There’s glory farms. You can only remove 3 conditions every 7 seconds IF you actually HIT the enemy with your burst OR you use longbow burst skill. If you use the longbow burst skill with your build, you will loose your dmg for saving your own skin from 3 conditions. Even as longbow burst skill is hybrid dmg it doesn’t deal much dmg. Anyone can stand on it for the sake of the keeping/capturing the point.

I want you to continue as those aren’t anything special points.

You remind me of that topic where some guy had a picture of a warrior with ascended full set + full signets (these were drawn over in paint or something) and had banner dropped by other warrior and I don’t remember if he was otherwise buffed by others (seems like topic got removed), and in that topic the OP tried to claim warrior is super duper strong and has uber high stats on defense and offense.

the best part of the kill shot is that you can reflect it back to its source.

Also warriors aren’t broken isendel, you are. Try to turn yourself off and on again and see if that helps. Might want to unplug yourself for like 10seconds or so.

Warlord.9074:

Probably HS why becasue HS was ANETs bandaid to warrior sustain. I played warrior since open beta and before HS got buffed the other heals were all we had and they were never enough. ANET slightly buffed the other heals in an attempt to make warriors viable this was before HS was buffed and that wasn’t enough back then and its not enough now.

So ANET chose to instead of give warriors the sustain the needed to make HS give them a high regen and then they buffed adrenal healing to go along with it.

Now they are nerfing our heals, our damage and our CC into the ground GG warrior back to square 1.

I disagree with the reasoning to chose surge over HS over poison. Since poison would make Surge heal for half as well. Secondly ANET said they are nerfing poisen in combination with the HS nerf. Lastly If I was that worried about poisen id choose mending over them all since it will cure poisen before the heal.

they are not nerfing those to the ground. They are making them fair, which is near as balanced as it can be. HS might get weak, but it has been strong now for a while and they have to test it where is the good spot. Tiny nerfs aren’t nerfs to the ground and you should not do these extravagant claims.

For dueling/pvp/wvw as small as possible so you are harder to see and also your actions are harder to see. In PvE doesn’t matter. Gender doesn’t effect you any way.

Hello!

I was wondering which boon would torment turn into when traited warhorn skill is used? I wasn’t able to turn it to anything. Isn’t it counted as a condition? Or there’s no boon to reflect it?

All I can do is guess: It’s new condition without a new boon to turn into.

Anyone can explain?

the fun dueling build s/s lb still works

wyther.8372:

A warrior should never lose to an engi, because they should always be able to get away. Hence, me saying bad players are still bad on a great class.

You can’t fix horrible play, not even with a great class, because those who are not skilled will still make horrible mistakes. For the engi to win the engi had to be good and the warrior a bad player. The warrior can, without a question, easily out distance the engi without a problem. Equal skill the engi should have died, or if not, the warrior should have made it away.

It is not a warrior if it runs away, it’s a thief in disguise.

Dueling in WvW arena and the rules doesn’t even allow you to run away. Dueling itself doesn’t allow anyone to run too far. You just don’t get it. There is strong builds on every single class but you deny them, you want to nerf warrior to the state it was first half year or so, seen as free kill. You want to nerf the sustain we asked since the release of the game and which is needed for the class without any dirty tricks.

Also seems like you know nothing about condi bunker engi.

Edit: For example of bunker condi engi who can play search “gw2 wolfineer” on youtube. He is one of the people who duels in the arena with us. He also makes videos. I also make videos but those are outdated. Haven’t done any for like half a year.

wyther.8372:

Look, the warrior is a superb class. The main problem is the people who play it. Let’s be honest every bad player wants an easy class to play. Warrior, right now, is the king. When you see someone who really is good, you are like kitten this class is way OP.

The warrior problem is the bad players, even on an excellent class, might jump up to average at best. Those types of players get allured to a class thinking they will be able to do everything, but in reality, they are still bad. Just bad on a good class instead of bad on a bad class, which does make a huge difference. However, they wanted to be great, not average. The good players remain on their normal or preferred class, so the remaining weaker classes look good, because (for the most part) only the good players are still playing the inferior classes and haven’t rolled the OP class.

The number of warriors should tell you how OP they are. In fact, the relative strength of a class is always shown in a WvW setting. The best classes/builds always have the most people running them.

So to sum up, bads will be bads, even on OP classes and that is the warriors problem.

so if Engi wins equally good warrior without loosing even half of his hp the engi is god class? God as it defeated overpowered equal skilled opponent.

Cheeks.5243:

aaakm.4290:

some people think that warriors are way too strong (over powered)
but in the other hand most warrior players noticed how stupid is the warriors chance of doing any thing.
pros:
1- high health and toughness.
2- easy to play in PvE.
3- a lot of weapon choices.

cons:
1- shut down easily since he lacks mobility.
2- can be dragged like an animal in pvp (he can’t reach you or run away from you)
3- building Adrenaline feels useless since it can only be spent to use their burst attack i believe Adrenaline should be more than that, it should add some thing to the warrior like more damage less toughness, more move speed, doing actions faster.

and at the end the only thing that needs a nerf on the warrior is the hammer in pvp.

“Warriors are masters of weaponry who rely on speed, strength, toughness, and heavy armor to survive in battle. Adrenaline fuels their offensive power—the longer warriors stay in a fight, the more dangerous they become.” – ArenaNet

1. Warriors do not lack mobility.
2. L2stability and root your enemies.
3. adrenaline adds health regen traited, while its not much, the more you have makes your F1 skills more powerful and effective.

They nerf warrior more and more every patch, they do not need to be nerfed. People need to learn how to play against them.

1.Correct
2.Stability doesn’t counter cripple, chill or root. Rooting enemies: It is a condition, necro can devour it for more health (but also uses the healing skill), it can also be transfered by necro or mesmer, thief can just roll to get unrooted, engi also might have something… Guardian has aegis and blind (but so far I think root works best againts them), ranger can transfer the condi on pet (looses condi cleananse for cd duration). On elementalist, some can clean it easily but in my experience it is good way to make elementalist stop.
3. Agreed

If you don’t want to get bored by my text read only the blacked text and near them.

OP, what if adrenaline would grant % dmg reduction? Not huge but some, using burst would be something to think twice. Loosing dmg reduction + regen would hurt.

I like to pvp a lot, mainly on WvW arena as it doesn’t restrict builds like mists does. Every single Class has their own good builds.
I find Bunker condi engi the most OP duelist atm.
Second is a good necro. Much chill much devouring conditions much cripple much ranged autoattack with poison such wow.
third would be PU mesmer (long and boring fight).
Even thieves can be hard to duel with if it’s experienced player. If not then it might be shameful fight for bouth of the fighters.
Sword ranger is awesome opponent to duel against as it punishes for mistakes and isn’t OP, also takes some time to actually defeat it.
Guardian can do amazing dmg while being defensive as hell, really need to focus on the fight to win good guardians.
Elementalist is someone which forces u to focus on their skills and rotations if you want to win, very punishing for those who doesn’t know what to dodge or what to interupt.

Warrior had hammer nerfed, and it shows. Nerf worked. I would like to see rifle reworked and mace mainhand to be changed to something else. I find it a bit boring weapon on mainhand. But then again it’s not about what I think.

Would be nice if Longbow Ranger would get a buff. It should deal tons of dmg as the ranger itself is a weak when it comes to close combat if not specked tanky. I mean weaker than most of the classes.

Power and hybrid mesmers seems to be just fine, power engis are just fine, d/d and s/d eles are strong, and I like it even if I don’t own one, Guardian is strong, rangers needs certain spec to be good, Once again I want to repeat: Buff ranger, Thieves should just stay in shadows and stop one hit 1-2KO me while I have 28k hp and 3300armour… (steal + backstab). Some thieves needs to learn how to play their class and stop shaming their kind. Thief isn’t hard to play. Warriors are strong but can be also easily defeated no matter how skillful warrior is, all u need is bunker condi engi OR a necro(necro as long as the warrior uses healing signet).

Anyways back to subject, Warrior needs buffing on some areas and nerfing in other areas. It isn’t like warrior needs to be only buffed or only nerfed.

I dislike the HB animation and it makes me not want to play with GS Axes all the way! Chop Chop!

But yea nice pics

Waaaaait a second… those are much cooler than my Human Male animations wtf ._.

I would like to see some fear effects on mesmers’ hands but as long as necromancer will stay as the master fearer

Hammer in sPvP > all.

I bet there are people who agree with me. Its just so much re*arded.

This is the wrong forum for your thrash.

“Retired sPvP Player after December 10th patch” as his signature, meaning he hasn’t even seen the hammer nerf in effect lol…

I wonder why I even bother coming in the forums as it is filled with this kind of trash… “buhuu I got defeated by another player, therefor he is OP, nerf plox”

Every kitten single class has their strong builds. Most of those are stronger than hambow, but ofc we ignore these little things and nerf irelia.

I find Minion necro a bit hard with my warrior (I don’t use hammer, and even if I do I still loose sometimes). I play sword/shield/longbow. Hybrid warrior, sadly my weak condis makes their heal just stronger and they just eats me. The problem is on my case is l2p as I don’t really know what to do against necros OR condi engis.

I main warrior, don’t have a ranger but every time I duel with bow using ranger I feel like they needs a buff. I don’t care if it’s spirit ranger, on 1vs1 it still feels a bit weak. In other hand sword/torch ranger is a strong dueler AND very fun to play against.

When I missed the poison and had cleaning on cd few seconds after that my hp was nearing half way. I got bursted a bit there. It was so nice. I made a mistake and got punished yet I was able to come back and get 75%+ hp by dodging and playing defensive. The ranger had same kind of sustain and cleaning as I did. It was like who makes the two mistakes in a row first looses. It was so rewarding to win, and loosing made me even happier as ranger wasn’t the weakling I used to think it was. Also when I fought ranger with a sword first time I was amazed how good it was. It ate my guild’s best pvper and made him angry. It made me happy as ranger showed it isn’t a free kill.

In short: Bow ranger should get a buff, sword ranger is in a good spot except I heard the auto attack roots the ranger somehow and should be fixed.

BOW RANGER NEEDS A BUFF

Lol people still play signet warrior?

Signets are for solo play. Passive solid boost active till signet is activated. Stances are total opposite

Meaning if warrior plays solo, he uses few signets.

You mister, have spent a lots of gold to your weapons o.o

Only way to fix hs active is to increase the cool down. As long as cool down is 20 to 16 seconds the effect or amount will always have to be negligible. 40 (32) second cool down with about 8-9k heal is far more interesting a trade off.

If that would be changed it would be the only heal used…

Very nice looks So cool you ain’t one of those full CoF warriors or full abyss dyed emo warriors

Guys, are you willing to demonstrate this OP healing signet against condition Engi? I will promise that no matter how good warrior is and what build ever he uses good condi engi will come out of the fight with over 50% hp while warrior has tried to avoid getting hit for most of the time instead actually fighting back because if he did he would be dead.

HS OP? That’s cute – waterfields

Since 1 month, i meet with godkitten engineers everywhere faceroll me to death.
My healing signet gives me back like 5-10% of his dmg.
Then i get him down to 2% hp. he go invulnerable, and then water field blast 2 times, 100% hp. GJ ANET. Nerf healing signet.

Did you notes how the whining stopped :P? Everyone knows HS can’t save anybody from these engis nor can any other of our heals.

Not to mention the health pool of a necromancer is lower than that of a Warrior’s…

Which makes these healing comparisons hard …

A necromancer has the same health pool as a warrior, that’s why I took blood fiend and healing signet together with the way they both work (passive sustained heal, can be used for a bigger active heal and on a 20s cooldown). A better comparison you won’t get.

Sykper.6583:

Yes I know.

Healing Surge would stack according, granting 2 ticks of adrenaline every three seconds while in combat (works the same way as Signet of Rage). The difference lies in their actives and CDs.

Also yes the intent of Healing Surge was to be put in line with Healing Signet’s Passive healing over the same duration. Regardless it needs a decent buff.

That’s why I suggested 10% since it would bring you above the level of the new healing signet.

Sykper.6583:

It is more of an interface issue than anything else. If you were facing a warrior with defiant stance, what would happen over the course of the fight is that the warrior, if he were using it, would take a quarter second to channel it before a slight blue glow (very very hard to see) appears on their body much like how Endure Pain looks, except more subtle. Any and all damage you are currently doing to the warrior shows up as GREEN numbers instead of red, extremely visible and apparent.

Which is the problem, it’s so obvious no warrior will be able to really gain an advantage with Defiant Stance unless they time it perfectly and abuse the opposing player’s delay in reflexes, so a warrior could time his stance right at the start of a thief basilisk burst combo, ignore and heal all that damage. But after that, the remaining time Defiant Stance is up most enemies just stop attacking, you might get only a third of the stance actually under fire while the remaining seconds of it grant you nothing.

What I suggest is making you see zeros, so that a less-experienced player might assume its Endure Pain, not give a quick glance to the warrior buffs overhead to look, and continue healing the warrior despite being wrong. It returns the advantage to the warrior instead of the attacker, which is fine considering its a 35 second CD heal.

Warriors don’t have many ‘tricks’ like other professions, having Defiant Stance being a viable one would be nice.

I suspected something like that. First of all the warrior doesn’t need ‘tricks’ and ‘tricks’ doesn’t fit with the idea of the warrior. Secondly defiant stance does produce advantage by not taking damage.
an example: if an enemy had an auto attack dps of 1000 then you have ‘gained’ 3*1000+1853+intial strike(not always but most of the time)=5853. Not much but it scales with the amount of enemies on you so 5 enemies = 29265.
On top of that you didn’t gain any conditions like blind,cripple, chill,… and if they do you heal extra sinc they attacked you. finally if your enemy has clones/minions/phantasm/… or conditions on you they can’t even stop attacking. So all in all you gain a serious advantage even if they don’t attack.

About the visual I think it most stay for aoe users since they don’t see your status unless they are lucky so to know that they are accidently healing you they will need the visual.

Necromancer has good access to regen via staff and traited dodging.
