Guild Wars 2

Wow I just couldn’t ignore this learn to play really ..

saying you got to take longbow becouse it does this and that…

this is a team based game, i do my build, use my weapons according to the team…. lucky the game allow you to constantly change builds freely…. why would you do 1 thing…

if you’re trying to find “the best” you’re in the wrong game.

i’ll give you example
in some situation my team need CC, i’ll go hammer, sword for the CC… longbow not needed here.
in some situation I go mace/shield longsword, and fill the role of the roamer / thiefs
and hell my guild says i’m doing a better job then thiefs.
in some situation i go axe longbow and keep the close point..

there so many ways to play you can’t just do one… if you do… no offense and with all the respect you sux.

warriors are fun, and this is enough you can find ways to play, if you don’t spend that time on forum instead.

Haha way to go man! , really enjoy the video ^^

Dextar.1682:

If this truthfully is the case, why would they allow the class to be so bad and not give it buffs?

It’s not truthfully the case, the actual case is players crying becouse they don’t take time to try more ideas, playstyles and such.

warrior is really good, specially on roaming. much better then thief and ele if you ask me whenever I meet those in wvw I melt them easly, send bag of salt for the tryhards
and keep my fun.

however when it comes to high level of play where A player is just as good or better then B(the warrior) player, this is when warrior fall down… the fact you have to be upclose 90% of the time to actually do dmg make the life of other experienced players easier to kite you, dodge most of your core abilities.

that’s the only thing I can think of that make warrior bad then other classes, becouse all other classes are ranged, and as for thief and guardian which is less ranged have gapclosers.

if anyone think otherwise, and wanna enlight me on how/why warrior are bad other then what i have already mention, go ahead..

You make no sense DarkSyze no offense but you literly saying that warrior should be guardian, well we already got a GUARDIAN, which is the warrior that serve and protect.

i’ll also add that in gw1 there was no guardians, so warrior had to fill that role.
also they wasn’t much of a hero back in the days of gw1.. what a W/Mo with a ressurection skill ? .. no they were either axe for dmg with frenzy, or a CC that run after the hard casters.. so yea…

I love warrior the way it is, a barbarian with high mobility and high burst ability with the best verstility.

I don’t even see how you can make warrior do this. even the shoutbow meta(the famouse supportive build trying to copy a guardian) is a complete joke trying to do somthing other class do better.

No offense, I didn’t like your build at all.. I would add much more about why it’s a bad pick but whatever, take your time learning the class is the best way for you.

Here is my warrior

I don’t think your build is viable, you don’t have cleanse ire which is most important trait for warrior, you don’t have trait for hammer cd reduction, also you don’t have ‘fast hands’ trait.

my suggestion is that you drop shouts completely, going for stances.
get your cleanse ire and hammer reduction traits, get fast hands, and the rest from here is up to you.

if you really don’t wanna drop shout, then I suggest you do the normal shout meta
0/0/4/6/4 which will most likely work without the huge drop on your dmg.

Here are the most usefull warrior traits :
Furious reaction
Fast Hands
Cleanse Ire
Missle deflection
Brawler’s Recovery(less fit to this list but it’s my favorite).

Are you kidding me, you’re basicly crying that skullcrack doesn’t cleave ? you want to cleave with 4sec stun ? not only that it’s 7sec cd skill.

and about the miss/server lag you are totally wrong, I never saw a skull crack that ‘hit’ yet misses becouse of lag, mostly becouse I don’t have any lag.

yes it’s easy to dodge or even move to side will make you miss, but you got 1sec daze from pummel bash and 1sec stun from shield bash that helps landing this skill, usally when you land a skull crack on player with no stun breakers left, he will die.

Actually no.
Aside from warrior only problem is that you have to be melee range constantly which gives disadvantage against any decent player who know how to kite / dodge in the right moment.

I actually love the challange hitting skull crack, it is satisfying hard and req alot of skill to land about 85-90% of your skull cracks.

It’s hard to land these attacks in PvP becouse, it is really obvious that a warrior at melee range, is going to use his melee range abilities. not the actual range of the skill.

The axe off hand may not have the best dmg, but you forget it’s combo finisher.
the off hand 5# basicly spam on the combo field and can have many uses with right team play.

Hello everyone, I have seen this post and it got my attention.
I am playing with this build for long long time even up to today.

I have made some tweaks to it over the time to perfect it.

Hope you guys will like my tweaks, i am also looking for your opinion on that.

so the regular build is like this
04/4/0/6 key traits – furious reaction, missile deflection, unsuspecting foe, cleanse ire, and brawler recovery
with stance utilities Endure pain, Berserker Stance, and Balanced Stance.
with the right rune of the pack you’ll get 50% crit rate which mean 100% crit.
with other runes you’ll get around the 45% which result in like 85-90% crit.
that on stunned foes.

now I been playing alot of duels with alot of experienced players, and ive come to notice that it’s problem is with heavy spamming conditions (mesmer/condi ranger for ex)

then I decided to make some tweaks so here it is:
0/2/6/0/6 – key traits – furious reaction, cleanseire, missile deflection, endure pain, and brawler’s recovery.
with utilities I take – Berserker stance, Balanced Stance, Signet of Stamina instead of endure pain) :
now the reason I replaced endure pain utility and covered it with signet of stamina is that it will allow you to dodge more often, it also stack with vigor, and it remove 12condition on use. this is a life saver way more worthy then endure pain(which you get anyway).

as for dropping unsuspecting foe, I have gained about 150power from the defense trait
changed from berserker to assassin amulet which take 1,700health. in exchange for more crit dmg and more crit rate. so with fury I manage to get up to 86% crit so i’m ok with dropping unsuspecting foe trait. so after a long tests, i realised that i didn’t lose dmg at all, while getting bonus utility that you WILL NOTICE.

please consider the fact you get permanent fury effect on this build so you end up with 86% crit.
although if you really can’t give up on the little vitality from berserker amulet go for it.
but even the extra 100-150power you get from using it not worth it becouse assassin amulet give you the 213% crit dmg instead of 200% with berserk. 13% is alot.

Here is the build I would like to hear your opinion on that and enjoy it ! !

this is the build please rate

I agree with your post. I am sick of crying warriors.

I main warrior since i started the only character i play. tested every trait and skill combination.

Ive dueled alot of players, all classes, and different playstyles. and got to say warrior does have a balance, it is however very hard to play and req alot of practice.

atm runing mace/shield and greatsword and like you said, landing the skills is the most important part. unless you go ahead and use the ‘easier’ warrior builds which are less rewarding and representing warrior class.

(Warriors are masters of weaponry who rely on speed, strength, toughness, and heavy armor to survive in battle. Adrenaline fuels their offensive power—the longer warriors stay in a fight, the more dangerous they become.)

thanks for the post never give up hope on warriors !

I only PvP, I never PvE
I am online alot, and know every class and it’s counters.

Looking for active players for Team Arena, And prefer a pvp only active guild.

Add me ingame, leave private msg, or comment here if you are interested to play with me.:)

I like your build Liewec, it’s similar to what ive been using before the patch …

but the trait you picked berserker power. why would i pick it nowdays.. you even say not to use that signets that give 30 adrenal which would make bit more sense to use for a burst….
but that is really bad pick if you ask me…

i tried to run signet mastery with dolyk for stability and that other signet that remove all condi, with bull strike for utility … that with dropping the 15% dmg from the adrenaline trait, which means my build lost 20% dmg due to nerf.

i tried your build, on the golems it works, but in real battle i barly get that adrenaline needed since with this build you burst and get away otherwise you just stand there to die…

i lost motivation to continue anyway … i just moved on to another game …..
enjoy hammerin forever fellow warrior lovers …. (._.)/)

I used to play 10hr+ in the pvp using simple greatsword burst build working around berserker power trait..

now i won’t complain about the changes but ever since the update it killed pretty much the only build i liked on warrior …

right away i tried to work around it and try some more builds … but it feels i can’t find anything that work good or at least compare to other classes …

up till today i play 1hour and log out becouse i feel bad and depresssed about it …
warrior is the only class i ever like, i have somthing in my brain that won’t allow me to pick magic type classes .. so i’d like to stay a warrior …

can anyone help me find a usefull working build to play please .. mostly i just spvp..
if you can bring greatsword to life for me i’ll be even more happy ..
i don’t like hammer builds, and i prefer to kill fast as possible..

*please do not offer me to change class becouse i recently started this game and invested everything for warrior and i don’t wanna start over too.

thanks in advance for those who feel me.

guess i’ll just play rangers till they realise that there are players who actually like greatswords ._.

rangers are the new greatsword warriors now lol

what i wasn’t expecting i was hoping … i though it could bring more life to GS…

anyway the HB burst i used to do will never be the same … so from a decent build…
it got to worst possible build….

I don’t like hammer, and really don’t like bow …

up untill now i was using greatsword .. and it did really great …

but now with this dmg reduction and crappy arcin slice i mean really… even final thurst from shortsword does more dmg ….
i hoped it could be at least same as final thurst…

and that is a freakin greatsword … so where is the missing “great” part of it ? …
right now it’s not viable to use them …

my build is totally useless now .. ..i don’t like the other classes … depressing……..

….

I have read some comments about heavy armor and mobility on warrior ….

let me say this …

try a tanky build on warrior for example hambow ..

and then try a burst build with greatsword/sword for mobility ..

… the hambow will be a slow durable warrior…
and you drop the durable part for agility and mobility….

so there’s nothing really unrealistic .. you’re not gonna find any mobile warrior that can also tank and kill everyone in sight forget it…

drop heavy weight(hammer, armor stats, traits) for mobility that tend to be burst builds (low health, low armor, and high dmg traits) ..

that’s called bein a versatile class …
