trainers need to go

I think its more so you can’t change your trait points on the fly.

And why is that a bad thing? You still have to adjust your gear, traits are not that crucial that allowing an on the fly change wouldnt be game breaking. If someone can really point out a viable reason that we are still tied to trainers to retrain in pve, please let me know it. I just view it as a tiresome archaic nuisance.

BUT…. GOLD SINKS?!?!?!?!?!?

Lets see, all three books combined come to 3 gold 10 silver. A single piece of valued exotic gear costs 3 to 4 gold, you have to buy 12 pieces of gear/trinkets, and 4 to 6 different weapons, which is the real gold sink?

There are plenty of money sinks, having to go to a retainer is just annoying. I dont mind having to go get books, but retraining should be a class feature.

Well somebody has to sell those pesky trait books…

Make them class VENDORS, and allow the player to retrain their own traits. Half the time I go to retrain I hit the books instead by accident, its annoying.

Please get rid of trainers, they serve no purpose in the game other than an annoying zone change. 3 silver max to retrain skills is a small fee, not sure why we even have it. I know this game needs money sinks, but the money sinks are the gear we buy, not the skills we retrain. Its archaic and unnecessary, its bad enough I have to filly my bags with different types of gear, but having to zone just to retrain the skills seems redundant. Get rid of the trainer and make it like how pvp traits can be retrained, thanks.

Yeah it is a little silly that all the top teams in spvp run asuras. In my opinion to balance it, make everyone the same height in spvp. Problem solved.

no that is bad idea.

Dont see how this is a bad idea? Unless of course you play asura for the advantage.

Not impatient, one year is plenty of time. And as per the lore, there are at least four more dragons awake; Jormag, Kralkatorrik, Primordus , and the Deep sea Dragon (Bubbles). One dragon a year should be sufficient enough story to keep it compelling. There are five left (theres a jungle Dragon) and 4 are awake (I would love for them to improve underwater combat and bring bubbles to the front) so basically the next 5 years (if done yearly) would be combating dragons, and on the 6th year there could be a new threat that was blocked by the dragons, and by defeating them, released a new and more dangerous threat (similar to Galactus if there are any comic nerds here). So please dont act like it needs to be 20 years for this game to progress to all the dragons, thats an absurd and arrogant amount of time, as most players wont play longer than 5.

Im not even going to get into an argument with fanbois. So I get on 1 minute after the 10 minute timer, and now I miss the entire event? seems pretty stupid. And no it doesnt work like that, because yesterday as soon as the icon popped saying there was action in the Iron Marches I went RIGHT there, not 10 minutes after, and I was put into an overflow that did not have the event. Regardless of someones delusion about how it works, it doesnt work correctly. Last patch introduced a lot of bugs, including particle effects going wonky.

“All overflow maps created within 10 minutes of the start of the invasion will host a concurrent version of that hour’s event.”

Ripped right out of the patch notes which I’m guessing you didn’t read. What am I again? A delusional fanboi? How about you stick your foot in your mouth where it belongs. :|

The only foot that needs to be in anyones mouth is yours. I said I am not going to get into an argument with fanbois like yourself about the current meta of 10 minutes, its stupid. The event is 45 minutes, and it consists nothing more than a bunch of people spamming attacks to grind out multiple enemies, with the real fight that happens at the end. 10 minutes is too short of a time, 20 minutes would be more appropriate. I never disputed how it worked, I just disputed how its stupid.

For two days in a row now, trying to complete the clockwork chaos missions, I have been stuck in overflow. Anet why do you not have the event in overflow? Why? I spent the whole time yesterday in overflow and never got in before the event finished, I will not do that same stuff today. Put the events in overflow already, its bad enough I have to grind it out all the time, its worse when I am not able to do so due to your poor planning.

It was my first class, and what took me away from it was the inability to spvp well. I am not by any means are great pvper, and having a handicap playing the old warrior sucked. So I basically ended up making one of every class all to 60+ and now I can safely say I am going back to warrior. Its not the best class but its fun, it also has a lot more builds that can be effective in pvp. Anyway thats my story, not very interesting to some but felt id share.

Im running 0/20/0/20/30 right now, not motivated enough to have long cooldowns on my attunements. I will say now that staff works awesome now with this build since they made aftercast much better. I can actually keep up good buffs in staff, where as before it was harder. I took the 20% cantrip and glyph cooldown since thats all I use. (heal and elite for glyphs, and two cantrips) along with auras giving fury. The 5 into water now is not worth it for 5 to 7% more damage.

Not sure what is you want out of this smile, do you want us to recommend a class? Recommend how to level? Recommend what dungeons to run? The game has gotten a lot of updates, classes are a bit different from what they used to be, but not drastically. WvW has had a lot of content updates and bug fixes, so its a different animal from six months ago. They have fixed some issues with dungeons, and added a newt dungeon thats extremely challenging to PUGs. In any case narrow down what you want, or just dive right into the game and learn about it as you play.

Warriors are ArenaNet's favourite profession

Warriors problem is nothing more than lack of condition removal. One chill, snare, root, and they are done. Until they get something that can remove conditions that keep them at bay consistently, they will continue to be cannon fodder to other classes.

Can we get some better titles

So you DIDNT support the better predecessor of the game, that was absolutely worth playing, yet you want cooler titles that have no effect on gameplay. Hmmm…..

Im sorry, so supporting their current game (I bought a lot of gems as well, probably more money spent on gems than it takes to buy gw1) shouldnt be rewarded? Oh thats right, I should be REQUIRED to buy an old kitten game (no matter how good in some peoples mind) and play it, in order to get a halfway decent title in the game I am currently playing and paying money for?

Think about it this way: if you DID buy GW1, you’d be supporting them anyway.

Most of the titles in GW1 are hilariously easy to get anyway… most of them.

And why are you so opposed for putting in attainable titles that are good in gw2? I DONT want to buy the previous game, its not a MMO to me, just a multiplayer game. Now I am not saying its bad, but gw2 is my passion, and I would like some good titles no associated with gw1 linked accounts thanks.

I wont play humans, because the human male feet are the same size as human female feet. It looks ridiculously small if you choose the max height with the most muscular build for males. I didnt notice it till I was level 35 on my guardian, and was running up a hill and it zoomed in on my feet. I deleted immediately and made a norn.

I have played almost every class to 80, and now have to choose between engineer and mesmer. I hate mesmers so my last choice is engineer. What sets you apart from the other classes? From what I read they seem similar to Elementalist as you have to micromanage your skills and use them correctly or eat dirt. Also I wanted to make him a condition build type, do they have enough aoe conditions to be worthwhile? Thanks in advance.

I run 0/20/0/20/30 build, basically the standard d/d build and I have a real hard time winning fights 1v1. I dont do enough damage to pressure anyone, and constantly find myself having to go into water to just survive in a lot of fights. I think the biggest thing is that I cant cap anyone because if I stay stationary too long I die quickly because of lack of HPS. I have 2800 attack, 43% crit, 2000 toughness and 1650 ish hps. If I got all out zerker I die even faster, because of how many stuns, etc are in the game. I feel so useless in spvp its not funny. Anyone got any advice? Are D/D eles a thing of the past? Do you think its fair we get such low tough/vit and damage just because we have a few more abilities than other classes who can do in one hit that takes us 3?

GS every 6 seconds can over a 3 second channel deliver much much more (last hit that someone got was 47k so the rest of the hits had to equal total about 100k maybe more).

Im not sure i understand you completely here. The final number you see in the 100b channel is the total damage done by the channel, not just the final strike. So 100b will never hit 100k+ unless there are special buffs involved (the overheated buff in the ice fractal final boss for example_

Oh, that makes more sense, still what in axe can equal 47k damage?

Well my warrior is full zerker with all ascended trinkets and the max 100b I’ve hit is 48k~ on a boss. My axe hits for about 4k~ on auto attacks which is still about half the DPS (3.6 sec chain, 6 hits= 24k (just using wiki)) of 100b BUT has no cd. If you stay on GS the whole time then i still think axes is better since 100b will drop off due to its 6.5 sec cooldown and the fact that the GS auto attack has really low DPS. So axe is more sustain and GS is more burst from what I’ve seen. Both viable for DPS.

I stand corrected, im going to give axe/mace a shot. Thanks.

Axe is on par with Greatsword, as far as damage goes.

Off-hand mace brings some great skills but MH Mace leaves much to be desired because it’s slow speed means low DPS (Warrior’s main contribution in PvE and elsewhere).

MH Sword is underrated, but it could use a little boost in damage to bring it on par with Axe, or a little bit closer at least. And it’s 3 skill is a little lackluster. I wish Sword 4/5 were more hybrid skills than pure condition skills. I love the block on 5 I just wish that off-hand sword looked more like MH sword…MH sword is a good hybrid power/condition weapon, while off-hand sword is focused pretty much solely on conditions. I guess you can get some decent damage out of 4’s sequence skill, but still wouldn’t mind having Sword 4/5 reworked somehow.

Hammer could probably use some slight tweaking but I think it’s pretty solid.

Really it’s just Mace and some slight tweaks to Sword and a couple of the off-hands that need work.

Saying Axe is on par with GS doesnt mean its really true. There is nothing on par with GS by a long way. What can Axe do that generates 40K + every six seconds? Nothing. I have seen someone get 14k with eviscerate with everything being ideal, and it takes more than 6 seconds to get full adrenaline. GS every 6 seconds can over a 3 second channel deliver much much more (last hit that someone got was 47k so the rest of the hits had to equal total about 100k maybe more). No weapon can do that, other than the GS. Why do you think so many people who play warriors are almost exclusively GS/Rifle? Its boring, I want more variety, as in I want my other weapons to post those numbers, not to mention the utility of the weapon set. You got a hard hitting aoe evade, a range snare and a high damage gap closer (admittedly buggy), and an autoattack that builds vulnerability.

Anet, can you please redo all of the warriors weapon skills? Its so boring to be pigeoned holed into a certain weapon. Nerf its damage for all I care but make some viable weapon options, besides greatsword please.

Great Sword; pretty much keep as is, but either increase 100B recast time, or lower its damage, in conjunction with increasing the base damage the auto attack does, to make it more balanced.

Rifle; pretty much the same as Great sword, but instead give rifle, longbows auto attack (two shots) instead of a bleed as it doesnt fit in with the weapon type (single target direct damage)

Longbow; give us a trait that reduces its activation times by 20%, move Rifles bleed to longbows autoattack, so you can make this a bleed based weapon.

Axe, make it a viable direct damage counterpart to greatsword, whirling axe should come close to 100b damage.

swords; get rid of the block, bleed stacking shouldnt be a chore, blocks should be on mace.
