Guild Wars 2

Yeah, I wonder what will be done to those who accidentally encounter this bug, like me. No bans please xD

I personally take my portal anyway so I can learn how to play with a portal in my utility. I can understand most people who don’t take portal though, since it hardly matters in hotjoin and it’s not ideal to use it on uncoordinated teams in tpvp. However, I strongly recommend portals for ranked teams.

I have to be honest- we could use more off-hand weapons. We already have enough main-hands and two-handed weapons. You may think two skills is not enough, but remember; quality over quantity. Those two skills might make a huge difference in battles, like warhorns.

Depends on what kind of damage, but I’m assuming you mean physical. Then I’d point you to the axe. I recommend going berserker’s amulet with ogre, strength, or hoelbrak runes, alongside with fire and air sigils.

You can specc for good condition damage as well from a swords. You can go celestial or rabid amulet with krait runes.

I personally would use Mace/sword with celestial amulet, and either hammer or longbow as next option. The Mace will help out with stuns, blocks, and dazing. The torment the off-hand sword applies is a real killer.

There are several things you can do. First of, learn their routine. If you are aware of how warriors play, (almost all warriors I see do similar routines) you can easily guess what their next move is and thus, you will be able to avoid their bursts, or deadly combo attacks. Secondly use stunbreaks (if they use cc) correctly. Don’t automatically use it right when they land a cc, that normally results horribly – instead, use the stunbreak at the correct moment (when they land a earthshake on you, use the stunbreak and create a distance between you two, use a stunbreak when skullcrack is landed, etc.).

Finally, actually pay attention to how the warrior plays. Don’t dump everything on them. If the guy is using endure pain, avoid using up physical skills. If he is using berserker’s stance, avoid dumping conditions on him, etc.

I’ve played Warrior in PvP since January, so I have decent experience of knowing weaknesses. I hope I covered the basic rules of fighting a warrior at least.

How are Elementalists bad right now? I’ve fought plenty and they seem to do fine.

I’m a Warrior and I seek some tips and assistance on how to defeat an Engineer. I kept dueling with an engi that deals heavy condition damage every 5 seconds, and whenever he reaches low health, he easily heals/regenerates back to almost full health. He also loves to kite.

Yeah…I don’t find going up against rank 40-50s 5 times in a row, fair at all

TIER S: Spirit Ranger by far!

I’ve been busy playing quite a lot of tournament matches, winning the majority of the games. Although every time I get redirected to Heart of the Mists after I win a match, I never receive my tournament rewards. I’ve asked other players if they are experiencing the same issue and they responded with a no.

S = Necromancer
A = Warrior, Elementalist, Thief, Mesmer, Guardian
B = Engineer
C = Ranger

If you are crying this hard, and start exaggerating on how much the warrior class is a “joke”, and that there is no possible build available, then it is time for you to either re-roll into a different class or learn how to use a warrior.

Lyonell, I’m not the only one who disagrees with the poor sustain. lol

I’m done, you guys complain, and that’s it. “I got hit, I should have better sustain” or “My zerker build have poor regen, our sustain sucks” Is what I always see nowadays. Please take time to learn how to use a warrior and you guys will be fine later

I didn’t say I was the best, or I was unique. I stated it was possible to use sustain if you specc for it. If these warriors theory crafted on sustain “long before I have”, then why are they the ones complaining, and I’m not? Are you saying if people are experienced, they are automatically right to say if a class is bad or good? facepalm Also like I said, is Scoob really wanted to, I agreed to 1v1 him.

About the one with phantasmal mesmers, I was saying it was possible to beat them, but you warriors who complain expect so much but you don’t even try new stuff. “OMG my bulls rush didn’t work when that mesmer used distortion! They are impossible to beat now!” Is what I saw in that thread. May not be the exact words but that is how they acted.

You missed a lot. Re-read what Scoob and I said, and try to figure out what I meant before thinking what you say is true and making yourself seem smart.

What? Pistol what you said didn’t make sense at all. I didn’t compare at all..I just told him what his reasoning was.

Umm okay, apparently I called everyone dumb, and all I said was “stack healing power”. Aren’t you feeling smart for assuming such things

And I see you said something about andrenal health being against Cleansing Ire. Why haven’t I encountered that problem?

I dunno..bc ur a noob? Wanna test ur sustain with so much stacked healing power against my dual sword?

So I’m a noob for not encountering those problems…ok whatever you say this game also isn’t 1v1 balanced so you will prove nothing lol

U says that we can have decent sustain – its does mean that u will be able to outheal my dps, just like the guardian in vid, or am i wrong? If u can’t tank a single person its proves how bad our sustain is.

If u can’t take a single person its proves how bad our sustain is If you go by that reasoning, fight a new, in-experienced bunker guard. If you beat him, guardians will apparently have no sustain. IF you want to 1v1 so bad, then we can schedule it somehow

Problem is..even bad bunker guardians are hard to kill.

If you have a difficult time killing “bad bunker guards” then don’t be calling anyone a noob yet lol

These posts…facepalm you guys assume that I am not a warrior, yet you talk like you think you know how to use one.. haha

Lyonell: Your post is funny because I don’t encounter those problems on my warrior at all…and what?! You want to hit 2k, have high precision and crit dmg with clerics gear??

Redslion: Neither are you, and neither is Ashanor, if we were to play by your logic

Skelemiere.3094:

Well we got a lot of warriors who refuse to to use this, but complain about no sustain.

Thats because you can’t get to 500+ per tick in full zerkers gear and ruby orbs

And you are not supposed to

Hasn’t given me a hard time. The condition is greatly exaggerated lol

Well we got a lot of warriors who refuse to to use this, but complain about no sustain.

Speaking of a laugh, you are giving me one now. A guy who surely doesn’t know how to use a warrior, starts complaining on how much it sucks. Please explore more possible builds instead of spamming 100b and complaining for sustain. Maybe you will learn something new

lol blackjack, bunkers should be a threat now? Plus, if you want sustain when using 100b build with full zerk gear, it is not going to happen unless your warrior becomes a god..

In addition to your comment about the threat, why not use a clerics set? You still have power, plus if you use hammer and/or mace, that much cc will pose a threat..

Also, the banners help out your team too, with the benefits + regeneration..Since you know, this game is mainly about team play.

I would honestly prefer cleansing ire and dogged marching than hammer cd reduction when it comes to bunkering. It gives more survivability. You gain more andrenaline when you are hit, and you need andreneline to increase regeneration. Plus you can remove 1-3 condi depending how much andreneline you have, when using a burst skill.

You got the dumb part correct

my bunker warrior build is 10/0/30/30/0

II
N/A
II, IX, XII
VI, V, XI
N/A

Clerics jewel, 6x dwayna runes

Battle standard, banner of tactics, banner of strength, berserker’s stance, healing signet

Hammer + mace/shield

Now you actually try it and practice.

Skelemiere.3094:

lol warriors have sustain if you specc for it, if you want the build, I will give it to you once the skill calculator is updated.

Where is the trait that improved my damage reduction and healing?

Maybe use cleansing ire. Oh maybe use berserkers stance along with it. How about banners? They give nice regeneration and good team support.. (and other benefits). Why don’t you also use cleric trinkets and dwayna jewels. Hmm

Wow Ashanor, your failed logic is overwhelming. So much assumptions in 1 sentence. I bet you think you are smart now, huh

lol warriors have sustain if you specc for it, if you want the build, I will give it to you once the skill calculator is updated.

It is happening to me as well. I was in a middle of a tpvp match, recently starting a party too..

Zenith.7301:

A phantasm mesmer runs blink, decoy, and signet of illusions. Those 2 utilities completely stop you from either stunning and landing an eviscerate or 100b, on measly 30 and 32 second cd each. Blink allows him to kite you pretty easily.

A phantasm mesmer variant also runs double swords and greatsword. They got a traited 8 sec cd 2 sec distortion to use whenever you’re about to burst (and Blurred Frenzy hits for about 4-6k) and then a 12 sec counterblock on offhand sword that hits for 4k crits them while they stall for their next round of phantasm hits.

You can dodge, but the phantasms are staggered, which means they don’t all attack at the same time, you got 2 dodges, and once 3 phantasms are out you will regularly be eating at least one phantasm hit. Forcing your dodges means you’ll be eating his knockbacks or blurred frenzy damage all while he kites you and pelts you with a GS.

If he’s running staff you won’t be meleeing him much.

You are making phantasmal mesmers sound immortal..ask any warrior or close-ranged people who can beat phantasmal mesmers. So easy to land a hit.

We are talking about phantasm mesmers here. I have another strategy for shatter builds. Phantasmal mesmers rarely use number 2, only if they get close enough, and why would they shatter for distortion? It would just relieve me and I would go full offense before they puts more up. The stealth elite has a long cd, and there are also other elites mesmers will choose from, plus why would phantasmal mesmers use blink, and decoy only gives a couple sec of stealth before a decent cd cooldown.

It’s easier to pressure Phantasmal Mesmers than they pressure you because the build really relies on phantasms and if you can dodge phantasms(they also have limited time before attacking, the phantasms) and burst them, they will receive pressure.

Actually I have, although those builds are rare. Staff and Sword phantasms are something you can laugh at, they only do 1 hit as a burst so you can’t even worry about being bursted, if you know how to dodge, that is. Avoid their chaos spells then just attack them and put pressure on them.

I am a warrior and I have no problem with Phantasmal Mesmers. You have to be up-close with them and burst them down. Phantasmal Mesmers have no sustain, all they do is heal and rely on phantasms as shields. Just dodge phantasms as much as possible and go up-close with them.

I dunno, Personally I disagree with reporting people for verbal abuse. I think people should be entitled to their freedom of speech as well as their freedom to ignore it. Simply block the players so you no longer see their messages.

There is freedom of speech, but there is also verbal abuse. facepalm you are saying you support whatever people say because of their “freedom of speech”

Chase.8415:

I don’t agree with this. If you want your team not to leave, then find people who don’t.

It is very difficult to leave a match, you have to completely log out of the game for the rest of the match. You cannot even play alts during the game, because it instantly portals you directly back to the tournament.

Are you serious? What if we are in a solo queue match? Can we magically “find people who don’t leave”

If only you played warrior, you would know that being zerk is easier than being tank. GS allows mobility whilst still dealing damage. If you are a tank warrior, you will be out healed easily, and then you will end up getting pwned because you can’t deal enough damage. If you are zerk, you will put pressure on people, deal a lot of damage, and possibly in a short amount of time. Who doesn’t want a warrior on your team who comes out of nowhere and bursts your bunker to death in 1 sec?

The condi spec I used could increase duration, and provide more burns when needed and as you said, it is a suggestion. If you dislike the idea of condi, then don’t use it. If you like condi, I posted that it can work well. If you really still want to try to prove it’s a bad idea, I will show you the build(s) later.

cya

Zerk Mesmer builds works amazing in both, pve and pvp

Please point out where I “went on about” on how effective it is, I only mentioned once that it works well, and I didn’t consider it as the only option if you don’t think guardians can stack condi (burning) then I suggest to try looking deeper into potential guardian builds, because I have tried it, thus posted it here

Yes, just in case a guardian was actually running a condi spec and I hope you are not trying to cause a flamewar just because I posted my advice

I have a Champion Paragon, whom trained with a Marauder Mesmer for quite a while now.

I mentioned both just in case

I also mentioned DPS, which guards do have.

Ignore people who tell you to give up mesmers are one of the easiest professions for me. The key thing to beat a Mesmer is pretty simple, find the right one and put pressure/dmg on him while dodging their bursts.. Works well if you have good dps or conditions. Those who say Immortal Mesmer is hard to beat, try fighting one using condi stacks, they won’t last long.

Skelemiere.3094:

I’ve fought a ranger with a pet who could sustain like a bunker guard and deal crits like a thief..

Plus ranger pet heal in downed state is superior to guard heal in downedstate. If you don’t think so, have a downedstate 1v1 with ranger.

Do thieves crit for 2k?

No, but they both crit 4k
