Guild Wars 2

I finally 100% completed the map today…and no reward. It shows as 100% completed not only on the map, but also for the medal on the character selection page.

Server: Gates of Madness
Map: Diessa Plateau
Skill Point: Roj the Rowdy Butler is missing.

Warrior is the most overpowered? Lol Guardian is FAR superior to a War in almost every way. And Elementalist is far from useless. An Elementalist with the proper utility skills/weapon/trait has a defense for literally EVERY situation, as well askittengood damage.

I run Axe/Axe and either Axe/Shield, Axe/Warhorn or Mace/Shield. It really depends on the kind of team I’m fighting against. If I see lots of Heartseeker Thieves or Greatsword Warriors, I’ll go Mace/Shield for the extra CC’s.

Dual Axes are a lot better DPS than Greatswords. Much higher sustained damage, good burst damage, good AoE damage etc. And the auto attack skill hits for A LOT more.

Cogbyrn…the troll from the Age of Conan forums? Lol

But yea, I’m not a fan of Greatsword personally. It lacks the sustained damage to be truly competitive. It’s more or less “the noob killer” spec. But saying it lacks mobility is just flat out wrong. GS spec has some of THE best mobility in the game because of skills like Whirlwind Attack and Rush.

I much prefer Axe/Axe and Axe/Shield or Axe/Axe and Mace/Shield. Better survivability, more sustained damage.

Thief is balanced, warriors 1 shot insta death is not. Thief cannot 1 v 1 a warrior that uses haste, stun then 1000 blades. Because you will always be dead or will die an another 2 hits from the 1 skill. Also its so fast that you cant even stunbreak your way out in time.

+1 to Svarty… its obviously because Jon Peters plays warrior that its op

I find Triple Axe warriors to be a lot more deadly. Whirling Axes doesn’t hit QUITE as hard, but it can be used on the move. And the use of an Axe+Shield in the offhand still gives you good burst with Eviscerate and a CC + block.

Honestly, I don’t know what all the QQ is about. Sure 100b hits hard, but it’s easy to avoid. You can see the burst coming from a mile away. It’s either Bull’s Rush or Bolas.

Go Greatsword main weapon and Axe/Shield as secondary weapon. It gives you a couple of CC options. Run “Shake It Off!” as one of your utility skills. This gives you a nice little condition removal(Immobilize is a condition).

Honestly, every class in the game has a cheese-mode ability or three. Some are just more blatant than others.
Few examples:
Warrior – Hundred Blades(easily dodged, unless you’re a complete idiot)
Thief – Heartseeker
Guardian – Binding Blade
Ranger – Stupid pets
Engineer – Net Turret + Grenade kit

And the list goes on. Just QQ’ing about a single ability like Heartseeker, that is easily stopped with 1-CC is kind of ridiculous. I mean, seriously…a Warrior does more damage with Frenzy + Hundred Blades + Eviscerate than a Thief does with 3-4 Heartseekers.

PS: My main is a Warrior.

A not unimportant detail being that Frenzy,Hundred blades and eviscerate are 3 separate skills and on 3 separate CD’s and timers making the combo obviously a lot more situational then a single skill like HS on a class that does not even have CD’s.

Yes, but HS uses Initiative, which is a resource. The point was, Heartseeker doesn’t do anywhere close to the damage other abilities do., and it is fairly easily countered given the fact that Thieves are super squishy when CC’d.

I think the main issue with the ability is that people are too stupid to use some form of CC in their build.

The Guardian trick only works on Spectral Weapons that are ALIVE. Not the ones that are dead.

The joys of playing a Warrior. Bull’s Charge, Frenzy, Hundred Blades, Eviscerate. Dead Thief, everytime.

The skill point near Death’s Anthem has been bugged for several days. After someone kills the Orrian Spectral Hammer(part of the challenge), the hammer stays dead.
