Guild Wars 2

Yes Warrior is the most simple to pick up and play, but imo the warrior is the hardest to master, here is my reasoning behind this.

Yes we can go full Zerk and be tanky, yes we have skills that can destroy anything stupid enough to be hit by them…but

we have this much beef cause we are the only class with no reliable protection, our skills can be spotted from miles away, so yes a bad warrior will most off the time win against bad/below average player’s with no effort, the Average warrior will lose to the Average player…but the player who mastered the warrior will Win most if not ALL off his fight’s that’s just what the warrior does…

so in short if you want to enjoy destroying random dudes who don’t kno how dodge key’s work…you will love warrior…but until u master it…Prepare Your kitten cause it will be used reused and abused a WHOLE lot :P but when u reach the peek off your game…follow these steps

1.Fraps = on
2.go in WVW ask if any baller dude is wrecking faces somewhere
3. proceed to finding your prey
4. Fight to the death

u can skip 1 to 3 if you wish and just go to Fighting random people to the death aswell

ahhh how I love this its ok keep the tears running down them cheeks we are warrior’s we are meant to be IN YOUR FACE, if you cant handle the fact that we are the master race off fighting people head to head well roll a kitten thief stealth and GTFO my level and go 1shot our ele’s/mesmers end stop cussing, we need to spend at least 20 into defensive for good Condition control/ extra regen, and 30 into defensive to make all u 1 trick ponies cry cause u cant 1 shot us and we can turn around and wombo combo you to death…oh wait…COMBO yes we don’t 1 shot. You guys are just godawful at dodging or too kitten greedy and forget about our Surprise Eviscerate that can crit ur whole lifebar…but hey warriors are op cause I cant run up to them and claim my loot bag anymore!

Whatcho’ talkin’ about Willis?
http://www.gw2state.com/temples.html

EU servers awesome check US no server has CoF opened the events are started and the npc is taking a dirt nap lol

is it because the LA event that no one are doing the CoF pre event’s and Path 1 speed runs??? O_O I want mah shoulders/greaves QQ

Avengor.9147:

Server populations are fine. In case you didn’t notice, a new Living World just came out. Try going to Lion’s Arch and look for people.

so u mean to say people will not go get their first kill on the 2 boss’s wich award Dragon chest’s to have their guaranteed Exotic all to farm LA?? I mean I got my darn tempered spinal wings in 1 night

so just returned to Gw2 after leaving for a good while, come back…hmmm my server ‘’Eredon Terrace’’ people barely run dragons and world bosses other that Queensdale train… ok il go guest on Beastgate…hmmm same thing is happening here…onward to NSP…hmmm well would u look at that nothing’s happening.

The issue here is Server populations are dying Anet, Before releasing more living world u better start combining sum servers together or your living world is gunna go away in a Dying game.

New people join this game and wonder why they stay other than Spvp…cause that’s pretty much the only aspect that’s still quite alive, every night I come across newbies asking me…whats this event for? why cant we kill this boss? and only answer I can give em is, get to 80, go to WvW or stop leveling and do Spvp cause that’s the best social experience u can get from Gw2 now please Anet don’t let this game die out

Ok so heres my idea HS imo is fine but for those who want it nerfed to the ground…nahh heres my idea on it and a idea on a new heal that would fit the ’’Warrior’’ nicely

Healing signet: keep its Cd, Increase The Active and add in a 10s Heal over time to it…same has the current passive but now it can be stolen/removed so people kitten about it being broken xD

New heal!!

Warriors Rage:
Passive : for each bar off used adrenaline Heal for X amount
Active : Grants Fury/might/swiftness and full Adrenaline (passive remains active)
20-30sec cd (stance) or Shout if u rename it to Warriors Call!

Reasoning behind new heal…Warrior is supposed to be the master of melee the king of the brawl…this new passive would emphasize heavily on the Aggresive play and the same time tactical use off the heals passive…should i use my 2bars or wait for 3? and the buffs from active would give warriors who just got off a fight BAM! ready to fight again with a fresh set off buffs and adrenaline

ohh i love this people still wanting HS nerfed why cant u get in into your thick heads

Warriors are the Battering Rams off any team why would u turn his only ’’heal’’ that allows him to be the battering ram he is designed to be?

HS does great vs anyone too stupid to bring poison and burst to the table but dont forget hes also got Adrenal health to couple with that…ohh zerks can sustain well cause off HS its op, no your just bad. am i defending my main? nope lovin mah GS mesmer, but am i defending a class that was buffed when it needed one…YES so instead off pooping in yo tuba’s sayin L2P il just say Less QQ More PewPew

i have just returned to Gw2 been gone for a good 8months and wanna get my war to 80 and head back to WvW since i got bored off my Guard.

my build im thinking off is Full Zerk armor Knight’s accessories…for weapons Axe/Shield with Sword/Warhorn Swap utilities id go for HS/zerk/balanced/endure pain for Stances and SoR for solo Roaming or Banner for Group Roaming/Zerging

now heres where im torn other than getting Cleansing Ire/Dogged March and the new Defy pain…what should i aim for? i dont wanna be a glass canon hence all these picks but i wanna do ALOT of damage to people when they mess up via Eviscerate crit’s, and yes i kno GS/any thing with snare’s/stuns wreck face but i dont wanna jump on the bangwagon…and besides i like the viking’ish feel of the weapon sets i chose

knight.4379:

Welcome to the thief club. We’ve been getting kittened about since launch.

lol :P im pretty sure 70% off the people who moan are Ranger’s/ele’s atm…well ele’s i understand your pain…but face it getting our hands on you was like nailing jello to the effin wall …and that jello was a unstable mass ready to explode and kill everything nearby…:( and rangers…well i guess they woulda gotten the clue…Ranger does not SPECIFICALY MEAN ARCHER…u kno RANGER/ARCHER same number off letters…NOT the same thing try the RRR ranger…or a Spirit build…hell Trappers rock ALOT off unsuspecting foes :P

I’m pretty sure any class can tank 3 normal pve mobs with heals. Using the heal signet for the passive effect is a legit way to use a heal. It’s no different than any other class occasionally pressing 6. I saw a heal working as intended

What other class can passively regenerate almost a thousand health per second? Paired with the superior natural defenses of a warrior this is gamebreakingly overpowered.

Engineer can reach 800 hps WITHOUT the healing skill, just with bombs, regeneration from trait and regeneration from boon.

Your point being? So in order to match the healing from 1 heal skill that warrior has the engineer must not only spam bombs(IE be in melee range or be doing 0 damage) has to apply regeneration(which btw would in fact most likely require them to use their heal or toolbelt heal in order to gain that regen buff) and go 20 points into a trait tree for 1 trait and then 30 points into another tree for a different trait. All of that to get the equivalent of 3 skill points. Face it, to match the passive regen of signet(we’re not even taking into account the damage loss or survivability loss another class would have to undergo to obtain this feat) another class would have to spec entirely for it and probably still wouldn’t even match it, let alone achieve the same amount of utility.

So just to sum up.
Engineer Requirements for Large Regen
20 Trait points in Alchemy
30 Trait points in Inventions
Spamming Bombs the entire time
Somehow apply regeneration, most likely via your heal skill/heal toolbelt skill

Warrior Requirements for Large Regen
Put on healing signet

You do realize the Engineer is also invulnerable during 3 of those 10 seconds because of the dodge rolls with Vigor boon (also instant with Swiftness). And Engineers also have an instant heal via Bandage Self as well. And Regen is instant activation as well from multiple sources. But shhh!, keep focusing on Warrior sustain.

Warriors require just as much investment in trait lines/gear focus/button spam (and will be melee range as well). Keep telling yourself it is different somehow.

Bomb Engineers are basically melee Warriors with more boons/utility available for less base pool health and requires slightly more button pushing.

… not that I think there is anything wrong with Bomb Engineers as it is far more fun than Grenadier spam.

SHHHH dont try making them see the light…its easier to bash on the newly crowned king…let them be just keep running warrior/engi roaming teams and enjoy the free loot bags cause I AM NOT going down with my trusty engi dropping nukes on everyone and giving me combo fields to blow the eff up

lol why nerf us? people are just bad thief was the 1v1 specialist a while back…well…if u consider instagib something skilled…now i kinda enjoy watching them go invisible 50times and re engaging each time in hope that they will someday kill me…LOL untill i get tired and dunk em with mah trusty Juggernaut FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

i miss the old day’s aswell when killing an ele 1v1 meant u where THE kitten in that game
but i am also happy we finnaly got the love and balancing we deserved, after being used to pick up dead bodies…delaying a cap with no chance of killing the bunker infront off us…we now are able to do what everyone has been doing since day 1… KILL and we are pretty kitten good at it now too but all this flamin has made me changed my spec…i just had to shake it off lol

hmmm easy to answer that question op….

1.Armor sets = Sexy
2. Square Jaw’ed hammer dunkin is leet
3. … FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
4. did i mention we look sexy…even when downed..i mean them female warriors lying on the ground helpless after killing so many people…make me wanna pop a finisher amirite?

man the costume brawl executioner…i want mah axe
soo anyone else think we are about to get new weapons?
i mean we have the 2hand axe template out with that costume,sum movesets…
Cmon Anet give us new weapons before the holiday’kitten

oh no the warrior’s are actually able to kill us now…ANET NERF!!!
Anet Response: Warrior is fine now
sooo that leaves us with few options…
1. L2P issue now that the warrior is actually a threat and not a free loot bag
2. L2P issue cause u played a heartseeker spam thief and YOU are now the loot bag
sooo if we check our options there can only be 1 viable choice to answer your issue…

but offcourse…eff you nub i kno how to play my classe its warrior thats op insert more flame here

I did NOT say u couldnt play your class u silly what ever u are each class has its forte heck i remember them ele doing sum nasty 1 v x… xxxxxxxx and win i mean…wow…i still kno and see sum do it, but a warrior is now able to 1v 2-3…maybe 10 if they are all upleveled and hes now op? check up other classes, and stop being a lil kitten about it i enjoy kicking these new warriors over n over again with my RRR ranger…Engi…guard so yah L2P or Alt F4 and go back to other mmo’s where warrior’s are still crap

Ajaxx.3157:

The thing about Perplexity runes is this..

“no skill broken runes el oh el merc out 420 blaze it”

People who still run them are bottom feeders.

hmmm so i guess its like saying people using the self serve cashier at walmart are bottom feeder’s… who gives a crap its in the game use it, yeah it will most likely be nerfed, but hey its there enjoy it, its WvW anyway’s ur there for the fun off rolling nub’s enjoy it man

no the warrior does not need a nerf, i mean they gave us Condi resistance via Dogged march, and cleansing ire and suddendly we become op? hell look a bit deeper, those ALONE are actually GREAT for warriors and brought us back from underdog status…but the issue is the food, add them 2 traits onto condi duration food…and what we got 95% + condition duration reduction…if Anet would disable Food buffs in ANY location where pvp encounters are possible the warrior’s god mode issue would be solved, i wont crunch any number’s on anything but…im pretty sure doing that would make balancing much better:D

we used to be the underdogs…now we are gods…ok yeah we ARE gods, condi’s are a joke, half brained players can dodge burst…or use a shield…but all off them issues arent all the warrior’s fault.
Solution! REMOVE food buff’s in WvW by doing so yes warrior can still be very good at resisting condition’s/and mitigating dmg…but dont forget thats ALL we can do take it like a man and push forward…this is actually what a warrior is like, five knuckle deep up your butt with no other way’s to the job but the dirty way. so please Anet before nerfing Warrior…or ANY OTHER class start by removing food buff’s and tweak from that and i can guarantee the game would flow much better from Spvp to WvW and PvE, thats my 2cents i main Warrior and have got myself 100+ hours on ele/ranger aswell… yes i love the bunker’s

very simple AC’s are gg atm spam em and kill zerg’s, simple add ‘’ammo/charges’’
a AC could fire 5-10volley’s and then require a reload wich would be 10-15 ressources
this would limit the amount of unlimited rain of arrows off spamming multiple AC’s cause eventually if a zerg is proven to hold their ground the defenders will run out off ressources, BAM problem solved!

run around Wv3 find a squad proceed to harass and kill them loot and repeat process untill my ribs hurt from laughing from the party invites to tell me i need more nerfs and im a scrub for playing an ele…60% off these come from thieves lol

Im still WvW’in, Im Still Bunkerin, And Good god Im Still Ownin…offcourse we cant move as much out of combat…cant go mist form and heal…but working around it is easy stand strong ele’s we got this

yeah alot has been said but for warrior levelling pick up a good ole Greatsword Axe/warhorn for mobility get 5 signet’s and pick up the trait that gives 40 precision per unused Signet…Arms Tier 1 (10points) deep strikes with that u can plow from lvl 1 to 60 Ezmode..60+ is just a tad bit harder:P but welcome to the warrior familly

so my warrior was my first to reach 80 on and is currently sporting full Berserker’s
i have never been fond off the Frenzy>BC>100b combo
but i am completly sold to the Greatsword,
would a PVT Shout Greatsword/Sword/Warhorn work? i would also go 2 shout + new signet of might for the 3 unblockable’s if i need a clutch Spining slash on a guard…or simply more power…:D

i main’ed Guardian and played warrior both 300+hours easilly started ele and LOVE IT much more awareness is needed in wvw…but now i see alot off QQ bout the nerf to mist form…i mean cmon it was obviously op’ed xD Troll away while healin up? is it the fact u are affraid u wont be able to zipp away and heal? kitten a darn shame we dont have something that can give us stability and protection cough cough and ride the lightning nerf…meh im still gunna be honeybadgin my way around…aint gunna give a kitten and gunna Get mah flame sword out and ghetto warrior away from them and pop RTL…so yah we got nerf’ed nothing good ele’s wont tweak about and guess what we still gunna have sum pro’s showing off sum noobspankin on youtube so head’s up and lets keep kicking sum kitten /p>

well if your issue is ’’squishyness’’ i would recommend having a Mace/focus combo with that weapon set and proper toughness/vitality u just CANT die when u play smart since u got healing/1block from mace 3…1blind from focus4 and 3 more blocks from focus 5 add up hp and toughness and ur good to go

so yah i was playing with my guardian in spvp and wanted to use a greatsword instead of my classic sword/shield combo and was pretty dissapointed from the damage output, whirling wrath would get 3-3.5k damage on spins where my Zealots defence would go and hit for 3.5-5k total damage on full hits
i run 6x divinity runes with berserker amulet sitting on 17k hp, normally i go knights but zerkers has proven to be usefull any one care to shine some light on why GS damage was inferior since i love them gigantic blades and would love to use one with the new hammer

we must not forget a soldier’s life and blade is pledged to the queen and country
the choice he made either way would of had heavy impacts.
but logically he did the right choice if he would of stayed with destiny edge and the queen would of died then odds are Charr and humans would be at war, kryta would be plunged into chaos without a queen to guide them and with corrupt ministers it would only be worse so he did his duty to his queen and country and saved more lives than he could of by slaying the dragon…anyways we’re here to finish the job so

nahh guardians are great in pvp you can go with multiple offensive builds aswell has being an amazing point tank some examples of offensive are the Greatsword/hammer and Sword/focus scepter/shield combo’s
and for tanks theres the mace/focus combo wich is pretty amazing and near immortal hope this helped

Bump this thread if you’ve used your shield 5 to knock someone down to their deaths

implement the Great Axe ( A.k.a two handed axe ) we got 2 handed sword and hammers now we want sexy axes

where is the great axe lol? theirs a few images with people holding a sexy great axe…i want 1 lol:D any idea if this will be a future thing Anet will give us?

actually the 5 skill is pretty amazing when used at cluth moments it gives us breathing room, and upon blowin up heals nearby allies…still dont kno if it heals us but its good all it would need would be

1.lower Cooldown
2.apply protection to the guardian and vulnerability to enemies who where pushed out
3.do like the ascalonian fighters…u kno block ALL incoming attacks while channeled and burn enemy attackers xD

for items im focusing on ’’Berserker’’ power/precision/crit damage
going for Greatsword/long bow
http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#McRM0m9bG9MxGMszRboa
i try to make them waste their evades with fear me and constant pressure keep my adrenaline topped until im ready for a kill then i use my longbow Burst>arcing arrow>greatsword 4skill if the target has wasted the dodges and i feel i got a good chance i pop 100B usualy if the target blew everything before hand i can get a good 80% or 100% hits from 100B

Ive been playing Gw2 since the beta and pre launch events and have made a 80warrior but was not pleased with how pvp was on him i played it Greatsword/Axe/shield and now i started playing guardian been rollin a few pvp games so far (10+) with this build
http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#MccoMz9Mmnrommnrom0xGG0MaqVRzo
people say Sword/focus being better but ive found that the extra toughness really shines in the long run. i also run 6x divinity runes with knight amulet with knight gem giving me 22k hp 50%+ crit chance and im lovin the shield bubble to give me breathing room the greatsword is really for the 5 skill wich allows me to tag rogues or other slippery classes like mesmers before they go away so i pull in whirl and bane signet for max damage…but lately ive noticed my damage to be somewhat lacking was there a fix or something or people just getting more and more toughness?
