Guild Wars 2

I see you making the “dps and dot” comment in several threads, so let me set your kitten y ass straight. In no MMO has dps ever been defined as anything other than damage per second. Why? Because that’s literally what dps means. DoT is a way of delivering that dps, just as is spike damage. Stick to your world bosses kiddo, the adults are talking.

ITT a bunch of people trying to justify bringing their Warrior axe/axe power build into T4 fractals…………gonna kick your ass every time.

This whole “condi should do more damage with time” is a kitten argument. If half of you had any experience past open world bosses, you’d know that only a couple classes can function with power in anything past afk content.

Just stop it, Anet has killed all usable variations of the power warrior. There isn’t a single power build that can break 15k selfish dps. I’d blame to devs, but 5 years in they’re still incapable of getting Power and Condi remotely close to the other………..hell I’m honestly unsure of how they tie their own shoes in the morning.

Absolutely, I agree that expecting true balance is an unrealistic. However I do not believe expecting power and condition damage to be at least in the same realm of damage with each other is too much to ask. It’s not freakin rocket science to look at a spec like Warrior GS and go “hmmmm that is awful, it should be buffed”. Hell, they’ve already split abilities of PvE and PvP………….but yet they can’t seem to figure out that one damage source should not do 3x the damage of the other.

…….Seriously sick of how much stronger condi is than power in PvE. I don’t expect balance, but look at the warrior……34k condi dps and 10k power dps from the best power build. That shouldn’t even be acceptable, but yet somehow the devs seem to think it’s hunky dory.

So this is, Zerker Gear, Runes of Scholar, Sigils of Accuracy and Sigil of Strenght on GS.

I have been playing with Axe/Axe, but its lack of mobility, inst spammy Mighty as GS.

Also GS dont punish u for going on Defense traitline.

And dont care about “support”, u real support is surviving long enough doing decent damage.

……you just linked a build that might do what 7k dps? Get that junk outa of here

Ik what the gear treadmill, I played WoW for 6 years……………..GW2 was supposed to be the antithesis of that. I now realize that it kills a lot of the desire to even play the game for people with limited time like myself. I just don’t have the time to spend 3+ hours a day on the computer anymore…………………………I really wish this game had followed that path GW1 set for it, but wishes are for fools and princesses, neither of which I am.

The game is alright, nothing to write home about though. We all hoped things would improve since release but unfortunately not much has, and in some cases has even gotten worse, i.e. the gear treadmill.

This game needs more temporary garbage content……….

Isolated the buffs to the warrior might have been enough to push them into viability in pvp, but combined with the numerous buffs other classes received it’s put them back where they started.

To make warrior a legitimate presence in pvp? This patch did nothing for them but place them further behind than they already were…………..it begs the question if they even play the game anymore.

You warriors are aware you only get substain when you actually gear for it right?

This has nothing to do with gear. No matter how you gear, warrior sustain will never be how it is for other classes, it is how we are built. Play another class and you will understand the versatility and sustain you have in a large fight (think WvW) and compare to that of a warriors. Currently we are are burst class, overall. Anyone and everyone can survive longer with the right armor and standing back waiting for cooldowns.

This is not a discussion for try hards, kiddo.

Judging by your signature trying to show off your “Ranger PvP movies” you have no kittening clue what you’re doing. How was that ranger nerf today btw?

A. I play multiple classes, and they all require one thing for substain, Healing Gear…Some do it better then others, But if you’re kittening your heal sucks its cause you’re not actually gearing with Healing Gear…

B. Are you saying Rangers have more versatility then Warriors in a Zerg Fight?

C. The Ranger Nerf sucked, hows it feel being a Warrior today?

Just watched “some” of your movies…………..why are you trying to comment on other classes when you don’t even have a good grasp on how to play your main?

And some say warriors got nerfed…
I’m more than happy with my NON-BERZERKER warrior

So basically since you were already performing at a sub-par level you don’t care? Makes sense I guess………..if you never break the speed limit in a Ferrari it wouldn’t matter to you if someone swapped the engine out for a 4-cylinder.

Warriors were garbage before this patch in PvP, and these changes accomplished something I didn’t think was possible……..it made them worse. As for PvE, it shouldn’t be a point of balance because any PvE content in the game atm is so brain-dead easy it could be completed by a mildly mentally handicapped individual running a random build in random gear.

……………This patch is a disaster, the vast majority of tool-tips are wrong on the warrior. The new bow trait has no effect on cool-downs and neither does the discipline tree. Overall a very pathetic showing for what was to be the definitive balance patch for this year. My guess is that you’re gonna see a lot of people quit with these changes as they’ve done nothing but make an already poor pvp scene worse.

Oh, you mean the PvE that you can run no matter what build/weapon set you use? PvE in this game is an afterthought, it’s a PvP game at heart…………..PvE is the reason we are having to deal with this stupid crap.

For a patch that was supposed to introduce new builds for weapons sets that were hurting I would say this was a resounding failure. It should be pretty clear by now that Anet doesn’t even know what’s happening in their own game…………..all they did was nerf kitten without giving anything back to under-performing sets. If I was the live-designer for this patch I’d be thoroughly embarrassed with my work.

This patch definitely fell short of providing any meaningful changes to any class other than the necro. I feel bad for Rangers, Anet actually made a bad class worse in pve…………………..This is a good indication of where Anet is taking this game though and should be a wake-up call to a lot of people. I’m going to give the changes a try, but in all likely-hood my warrior is going to be the same and in some cases worse off than he was before the patch (which was gawd-awful). I’ve increasingly found myself spending time in other games due to the blatant imbalances in this game and this patch is probably just going to reinforce that notion, it’s honestly hard to believe Anet even plays their own game at this point.

^ This, they’ve literally killed anything the warrior had. Yes, they were OP in PvE but with the massive dps nerf the GS received and overall general dps nerf the class is left in a situation where they bring nothing to PvE or PvP.

This patch is a joke if the note are true, I hope they aren’t but if they are it’s the best indication we’ve gotten so far the Anet is completely out of touch with their game.

……..You can tell though, there were no massive changes to anything. Concerning the warrior most of the trait changes were nerfs and not a single area of major issue was even addressed by them.

You wouldn’t know how happy that makes me. Warriors are insanely overpowered in PVE, and a few targeted nerfs are long past due. Whether those nerfs should have been split for PVP is up for debate, but PVE-wise, I couldn’t be happier. Furthermore, I don’t believe warriors will be weak now, just brought back in line, probably still overpowered to a degree.

Let’s hope Engineer/Ranger/Necro becomes a bit more viable in PVE with this patch …

Why would that make you happy? Having classes be essentially useless in PvP and PvE hurts the game overall………….necros and ranger are a great example of this in PvE. It shows both the ineptitude of designers and their inability to focus on longstanding balance issues in the game.

Warriors are going to be in a worse state than they were before the patch

Wasn’t aware warriors are even in a bad spot to begin with…

Really? Wonder how that fact was lost upon you since the vast majority of the community knows that warriors are a joke in any type of pvp situation.

……..You can tell though, there were no massive changes to anything. Concerning the warrior most of the trait changes were nerfs and not a single area of major issue was even addressed by them.

Judging from the preview notes I think it should be pretty clear that Anet doesn’t even play their own game anymore. Warriors are going to be in a worse state than they were before the patch, and nothing of interest was added to any of the other classes that were hurting……….nothing is going to change with this patch.
