I’m running GS,Sw/F

So Red how are you finding that is working out?

Add me in game and I’ll show you.

Sorry if I sound direct, it’s just easier to explain in game.

As for how it’s working out, it’s working really well.

Why does EVERYONE want Deathmatch as a Game type??

Deathmatch adds NOTHING worthwhile to PvP that isn’t already in the Domination Game type.

Seriously, people already play the game like it’s TDM in Hotjoins anyway so what’s the kittening point?

Deathmatch hardly even relies on team play at all. All you do is kill or die. There’s no other objectives.

You were never able to get a Consumable Token by salvaging. You can only Buy them and have a small chance to get them from a chest.

Can’t we all just run Celestial’s and call it a day?

And the benefits of showing glory buffs?

To remind you to use your Glory Booster.

Didn’t you post this last week?

ShiningSquirrel.3751:

Been asked before. Probably not due to the clipping issues.

Couldn’t care less about clipping, I just want a guild cape!

Just wondering if we’ll ever get the iconic guild cape again.

Sorry.

Hey everyone!

I made a fun sPvP video showcasing two not so popular power builds.
All build information is in the video and should be easy enough to understand.

Hope you like it!

You don’t need 30 in Defense just 20 for cleansing ire, put leftovers in discipline for adrenaline from shouts I think it is.

In my experience Inspiring shouts has never granted enough Adrenaline to make a difference. The reason you have 30 points in Defense is so you can make the most out of Runes of the Undead.

Hello fellow Warriors!

I’d like to offer up a nice tPvP Condition build that deals Heavy consistent Condition Damage and Team support.

Enjoy!

Please give feed back.

This guardian build requires the most skill out of any build in the game, hands down.

http://www.intothemists.com/calc/index.php?build=-7Z-3x;0JFV60X3-HV90;9;4TT;0959339A;44;0H-F35;1LNW4LNW47p

In fact, I’ve had literally 0 success with it. The skill floor is so insanely high with this build. The skill cap? Well let’s just say, its likely that no one will ever even come close to approaching this builds skill cap.

That build doesn’t require skill. It’s just crap.

Also running both summoning AND sanctuary sigils? lol…

Defektive quit.

Imo D/P Thief and teams running double Mesmers are fantastic counters to warriors.

So you think a thief and two mesmers, 3 out of 5 players, should be on a team to counter warriors? Do you have any clue how terrible that idea is? The problem with running more than 1 thief or 1 mesmer on a team is that they don’t hold points. They have absolutely no sustain. Their role is to be able to easily force 2v1’s via their mobility, and can easily peel from fights. People say that they are great at 1v1’s, but they’re pretty terrible against anything that has more sustain than them, actually. The only 1v1’s they should be doing, if at all, is against other squishy roamers. Pit a typical thief up against a typical spirit ranger on far, the thief will always have to peel away or die on far point – losing the match to the team. It’s one of the reasons why S/D thieves was so favorable (it has that extra sustain, high mobility, high sustain damage, and can contest points, though its sustain was reduced quite a bit after dec 10th patch) and why it was one of the banes of mesmer’s existence. The moment the team, who is running more than one or the other, runs into another team of equal skill who is running with a class that has more sustain, they will be at a disadvantage.

I feel like you took this entirely wrong.

I didn’t mean for there to be specifically a Thief and 2 Mesmers on a team. I was merely suggesting that, in my experience, teams that are running 2 Mesmers OR a D/P Thief give me problems.

Also, with the new healing sig the Mesmers have aquired they’ve gained plenty of sustain, OBVIOUSLY not as much sustain as Warrior, BUT with the combination of sustain+clones+stealth it can cause a lot of trouble for a Warrior. D/P Thief on the other hand should be basic knowledge as why it’s a direct counter to a DPS Warrior build because of thief’s blind spam and spike damage to counter healing signet. D/P is also the current cookie cutter build.

OP has no screenshot or video of the event and all you are just going to assume he’s telling the truth.

I call BS.

Also, gotta love how bias OP is.

I can’t imagine this server gaining very much recognition considering the discrimination against an entire class that is only overpowered based on opinion.

You gave me a good laugh though OP.

It sort of does.

But honestly, the only 1v1 scenarios that should happen in team tourneys are between a roamer and a home point defender.

This type of thing is really hard to talk about though, because the sPvP scene is designed to be balanced around 5v5, not 1v1. It really depends on how good your teammates are and how bad the enemy team is.

Certain builds counter other builds. That’s just the way it is. That’s how I view most Warrior QQ threads as right now. Obviously that warrior must have been running a build that countered your build and instead of trying to understand how they can beat the build AS A TEAM (remember, this is a TEAM based game) they instead cry wolf and blame the class.

There’s also the instance where a specific build will counter the meta. The usual forum response to this is “NERF NERF NERF!” What most casual players fail to understand right now is that the meta needs to evolve constantly and that a change in the meta is not a bad thing.

Warrior isn’t OP, people just haven’t found the counter to it yet. Or they already have found the counter to it but aren’t used to how other teams utilize the warrior differently and that they are only prepared for a HamBow warrior for example.

Imo D/P Thief and teams running double Mesmers are fantastic counters to warriors.

Wtf is this? Facebook??

No one cares about your dumb duel.

thread is vain.

What is the point of this thread?

This is hardly next level..

What I saw was a group of people, I’m guessing in voice chat, fight a bunch of randoms. It wasn’t even a fair fight to be honest the other group was just getting stomped.

I really don’t understand what you’re trying to say with this post. There’s more action and plays being made in the current tpvp meta right now than there ever will be in the small skirmish you just linked us.

Just say’n.

Okay, it seems that my account ban has been lifted!

Hello, I was wrongly flagged for an “inappropriate” Character name recently.

I contacted support about it and finally got a response today. The GM that responded had admitted the fault of my name being flagged and requested my Character’s current name, to then clear it and let me have my original name back.

3 hours later I get a message in the middle of a sPvP match stating that my accout has been suspended and that I will be booted from my current play session until further notice. I thought to myself that, “Oh, they must be clearing up the name for me.” and I try logging in 5 min later, to only realize that I’ve been slapped with a 72 hour ban.

What is going on and please tell me why this is happening.

There already is counter play towards healing sig. It’s called poison.

Here’s something useful.

Greatsword.

Because it’s fine the way it is.

This is what I’m using right now. Not much Vitality but it’s okay because you shouldn’t be in the fray with this build.

OP sounds like some PvE scrub that’s never actually done PvP in an MMO ever.

You can’t build pure glass, that only gets you killed and your teammates can’t rely on you for help because the support you offer is just damage.

Damage isn’t the only thing in this game that can support a team.

OP says he plays many classes in sPvP but offers 0 scenarios of what classes he’s have trouble with against Warriors to prove his statement that "Warrior Condition Damage is ‘OP’ ".

In the end this is just some child crying about how he lost a match against a team that had a Warrior on it and that Warrior just happened to be better than OP.

Also, OP says he doesn’t play fotm builds. This is probably your problem, because you play a build that offers no utility against condition damage.

Wow, voting this thread for #1 attention seeking thread ever made.

Excalibur.9748:

Warriors are overtuned for 1v1; they need to be brought down a notch or two, if they can do fine vs 2 or even 3 people.

It’s the combination of stun, mobility, and sustain that makes them a problem. Nerf either 1 of those 3 significantly or all 3 slightly and warrior will be balanced again.

Please stop talking out of your behind. You should probably stop posting on the forums and start learning how to play.

Warrior is balanced.

JoakimFA.4713:

Just wondering, why are you running Stronger Bowstrings? Doesn’t it still reduce the overall damage of all your longbow skills?

Unless i’m wrong, then I apologize haha

This is a condition build, Stronger Bowstrings only affects raw damage NOT condition damage.

This trait is indeed bugged but hardly makes a difference.

Hello, I’ve been having lots of success with this build lately while grinding out as much glory as possible in hotjoins.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAscTjgOpwVPuQ4wBE0DNMLqizjxLJoiUhzA-TsAAzCpIaS1krJTTymsNNCYtw0DA

The build is pretty basic, nothing really complicated to it other than keeping bleed stacks up on your target. When playing this build you want to spread out your damage to as many targets as possible while sitting back at a distance.

This build lacks good escapes like Whirlwind and Shield Block so staying out of the fray is where you’ll have the most success.

The reason I’m running Dual Sword instead of Sword Shield is because this build is great at being aggressive and having more condition variety from Impale helps out with overwhelming opponents.

This isn’t a bug, It applies the 5 stacks over time.

Hello, I’m Ashkandhi.

I main warrior with about 1,200 games played as warrior so far. I’m currently rank 37 and extremely familiar with strategies on all tournament maps.

I’m searching for a dedicated tpvp guild that preferably knows their stuff and runs tourneys often.

I do have a mic and have TS3/Vent/Skype.

I don’t get it.

We’ve always had this CC and NOW is the time they cry about?

All of my what..

Daecollo you and your kittining weird suggestions.

Bebylos.5491:

When i read that comment of that “Developer” i make myself sure that clearly he has no clue about the warrior proffesion and im still mad about that comment cause its like throwing oil in fire because it was in a thread about the bad design of Rush skill and instead of making some clarifications about it he’s just throwing mindless ideas that shows off the inexpirience there is about the warrior proffesion.

Greatsword is a good weapon, Arching Slice is just a burst skill that has no use.
But why?

Because majority of builds wont utilize it and thats because the overall skills-utilitys-elite skills are not synerging with Arching Slice and by that i mean that the skills damage effectiveness and Fury boon gain it isnt something you will ever need in any build because you got that Fury from other sources like traits-For Great Justice-Signet of Rage or even Battle standard. You will always have something to keep fury up so you clearly dont want to use Arching Slice and you prefering to use the swap weapon burst or keep your adrenaline for extra dmg/crit chance if your build is in that direction. Arching Slice is not good enough overall, just that.

What can be done?

Change the boon, give it 1 sec Retaliation for each adrenaline stage or Protection or even it can gives you Might for some secs it would be of USE! It will make you use the skill because it gives you a plus and not a wasted boon.

But why Hundred Blades is in the discussion?
People saying you cant land Hundred Blades in pvp. Thats just bull***t.
There are plenty of builds that synerging with Hundred Blades and Greatsword overall.
Every playstyle ever was about the player playing and the player playing against and thats it.

As of Hundred Blades as a burst skill if you can not understand that this is a bad tradeoff for the overall changes that will affect the greatsword, the builds, the adrenaline gains and many many more aspects on the warrior, you must be blind or never played a warrior.

Arching Slice need to be reworked. Rush need to be fixed. Thats for the Greatsword.

Thank you for saying in great detail, what I’ve been trying to tell everyone since that Dev’s typo.

I could not thumbs-up this post enough.

I agree with this post.

If more players would stay away from the meta and more custom builds were used, pvp would be much more fun.

Red Raven.7824:

Can we please stop.

This thread is only here because a Dev made a kittening typo.

Greatsword is FINE the way it is.
Stop trying to fix what ain’t broke.

New here Raven? These “Change Arcing Slice” threads are not. They’ve been around since…well…since Arcing Slice ever sucked. Which is forever. So, yeah.

Greatsword isn’t “fine”, but it is very powerful. Don’t mistake powerful skills for things that aren’t broken.

No, I’m not. Thanks for asking.

This isn’t really a “Change Arcing Slice” thread, it’s a “Swap Arcing Slice with Hundred Blades” thread. Which is a terrible idea and would end up causing more trouble for the Warrior class than helping it.

Nova Stiker.8396:

Red Raven.7824:

WHAT?! You mean you might have to run stability for once?!

Hey genius, the problem isn’t lack of stability or stun breakers. The problem is the conditions and tanking. The added CC is for annoyance.

That’s cool, I guess we should just nerf a C Tier Class just cause it’s “annoying” right?

Can we please stop.

I think the arcing slash-100b switch would be nice, at least we would see gs warriors use AS…maybe XD

No: you’d see many warriors NOT using GS anymore.XD

Thank you, It feels like all these people don’t even know what they are talking about when they say they want to swap HB for Arcing slakitten

’s like these kids want GS nerfed.

Dralor.3701:

I think 100b on burst would make some sense, the current burst is pretty lackluster and unexciting. I feel awesome when I’m going to burst with an axe or hammer…when using the GS I’m just looking for another weapon to swap to.

No, it doesn’t make sense, at all. If 100b was F1, you can say goodbye to Skull Crack into 100b swap combos, which is one of our only tpvp viable builds right now with GS.

You’re just making GS a clunky weapon like Hammer if you put 100b on F1.

Also one of the reasons GS is so good is because 100b ISN’T a F1 skill!

Lol wat. /15chars
