Guild Wars 2

Could we simply get much needed changes to the core warrior already ? They have been mentioned countless times yet ignored by whoevers working on Warrior on Anet side.

1. Fast Hands Baseline

This has been brought up thousands of times already and its really a huge limitation for most warrior builds. Warriors already have the most telegraphed skills in the entire game, so let us at least have a 5 sec weapon swap for some flexibility.

Don’t get me wrong, Discipline is a great trait line. However, in pvp you’re simply forced into Discipline and Defense which limits the build variety significantly since you can only choose a single spec line for your build.

2. Cleansing Ire – Cleanse on Adrenaline Spent

This is also another major issue, when they bumped up CI to grandmaster on specialization patch, it was said skill functionality would be changed to “adrenaline spent” from “hit”. Then somehow they decided to keep it as is.

With the amount of blinds, blocks, evades, and attacks with evade frames given to all other classes, idk how current CI should be even considered OK. Warrior is the only class that doesn’t have condi clear on demand apart from Signet of Stamina. All our bursts except longbow is simply unreliable to proc CI.

- Short Berserker Note-

I don’t think berserker is terrible but it’s not great either. I think the main issue is core warrior being too restrictive on spec choices. You have to take Defense if you don’t want to get instagibbed, nothing is gonna change that. However, if we get fast hands baseline it would open up new choices for 2 Spec lines, instead of generic Defense + Discipline + X.

I don’t get why people assume this is a bug, It hits twice cause first one is the hit damage and 2nd one is the explosion as devs mentioned in the twitch broadcast. Plus if you reflect that warrior pretty much kills himself anyway.

I don’t know why people whine so much about something you can see coming and react, it’s not like it’s a mesmer stealth burst.

Lordrosicky.5813:

4, Make cleansing ire grandmaster
5, Make healing signet to have 10% less passive healing and 10% higher active heal to promote counter play

You do realize these changes would affect other warrior specs as well right ?

You would simply force any warrior to put 6 points in defense for unreliable condi removal ( if you don’t use lb) and then have less healing on top of that.

I agree that shoutbow needs some adjustment since it’s a low risk high reward build. But all these proposed nerfs won’t make other warr specs any better.

How about we change Cleansing Ire to remove condis on “adrenaline spent”, so at least people are not forced to play with lb to have proper condi removal.
