Guild Wars 2

^ totally agree.
I was just arguing the topic “Hey look how OP eles are, how OP cantrips are, nerf nerf nerf”.
they even say ele is OP cuz of… they can dodge more with vigor and sigil which is ridiculous. Every profession can do this. Just stop complaining.

I know but its all about huge amount of major traits. i made an example of how warrior get +22% of damage which is insane of 2(!) major traits and its all in one branch.

I was laughing so much. Guys. Really?
U should learn basic logic. Ele are OP ele are OP i am a bit tired of this.
Symbolic.. you have wrote lots of garbage(no offence mate) I will just highlight couple of moments
>>
Armor of Earth

One of the strongest utilities the elementalist has due to the fact you can have 2 (one traited). Meaning you can have 14 seconds of stability every 90 seconds optimally aswell as 14 seconds of protection, regen and vigor. This ability is also a stun breaker and condition removal once again going back to the traits which synergize too well. Grants too much for one utility skill.
<<
Oh really? u have spent 1st major trait for have one more armor of earth
u have spent 2nd major trait to get your regen and vigor from a cantrip
u have spent 3rd major trait to have condition removal when having a regen
SO what u have wrote its not abou 1 utility skill. its about 1 utility skill and 3(!) major traits. for being more dramatic u should say it has 72sec of cd (4th major trait but who cares)
just let me recall warrior traits here. +12% overall damage from adrenalin, +10%more damage from GS. really..

>>
Let’s calculate the amount of dodges you can achieve with vigor and a sigil of energy over 20 seconds -
Combat Starts – 2 Dodges
200 Endurance from Vigor – 4 Dodges
2 Sigil of Energy Procs – 2 Dodges
Now, you’ve got 8 dodges to use over the period of 20 seconds,
<<
Hey.. it is true for every class with vigor. why do u right it in topic about elementalists? we should nerf ele? or vigor? or sigil of energy?

well.. GS\A-S is what i currently run and enjoy really, though i run full glass, i understand that its only good for usual pve not high fotm.
but.
what is your build? fearsome DPS.. how?
you put 10 in tacticks and.. inspirring banners? isnt empowered much better?
9% of crit chance is lost, fast hands is lost. why?
attack of opportunity is awesome minor trait. target is almost 100% uptime is with bleed stacks.
i see how you can survive with all this defence. EP, passive EP, stances last longer. but how can you do a proper dps?

I’ll give you another hint, it has something to do with Reckless Dodge
?
sigil of endurance or smth like that that gives half of your endurance back? is that what are you talking about? well… i think its quite good for the S\S for ex. but i dont think it is ok on both of your sets because of 9sec cd.

Schwahrheit.4203:

You NEVER use 100% crit on swap on x/Shield or quickness on GS if you actually care about being more effective. Just putting it out there.

hate comments like that. Mate – tell what is better if you know, ill change for sure. But telling ‘this is wrong’ without telling what is right is really annoing

BTW what are usuall sigils? I use Rage(quickness) for my GS, Hydromancy for my shield,
for A\S its sigil of 100% crit after swap on my axe, for S\S i dont really know, smtm just sigil of accuracy

Sword + Great Sword isn’t a good duel spec. Just putting it out there.
Hint: Mace + DPS weapon = Baseline in dueling
I get you right? it is GS + Mace\X ?

a few NA warriors
what is NA?

I strongly recommend grabbing leg specialist trait from tactics 10, dropping the arms 30 (you have quickness there I assume?) to 20 and using mobile strikes in discipline 20 if you don’t already have it
thx Ill try leg specialist. Yes, i use quickness from my arms30,
I use Signets recharge faster, but you are right, its better to use mobile strikes.
Actually I came from PVE what is the main part of the game for me, but already make rank 12 that is pretty low i know, but still i understand much more now and dont start with burst for example cuz 90%+ ready for that as they see GS warrior. But still when i meet more or less skilled player i feel myself awful just dying (though i can have fun with low skilled players, lol. at that duel with necro engineer joined us and i killed him and finished him in 1-2 fight and ran away (yep, my friend necro even worse then me )

I strongly suggest grabbing some sort of stunbreak (balanced stance and endure pain are the most popular). Balanced stance is the overall every-situation choice and endure pain is used mostly against thief/burst heavy opponents
Yea i know, I use Shake it off for that purpose, I think I can change it for Balance stance, But EP.. i dont think its ok for sPvP. We have S#5 for the burst and i dont think EP is good enough to change Bull Rush, well.. when talking about pug and roaming (thats what i do)

If you need heavy condition removal you could swap bull’s charge for signet of stamina or have a look at lyssa runes. Lyssa removes all conditions/give all boons if you use your elite.
I saw one build here that was really great for me. Spartan. Axe\Mace Sword\Shield and Lyssa runes, But than i realize that these runes are not good for me. main thing is using SoR when you are already in a fight and thats really bad because you fight without all its benefits just to remove conditions afterwards. I changed them to the common divinity runes

thx a lot i should try this.
And what about range weapon, LB ex. worth it?

Hi guys, pretty new to this game and know only couple of classes (not necro unfortunately).
Yesterday i played couple of duels with my friend and found out that i could hardly kill him. that was near impossible. What he did is PVT gear, minions traits, LOTS of minions and pretty much of conditions. so he had 27k hp and 2100-2200 toughness which is really a lot.
My build is berserker war 20\30\0\0\20 with Bull charge, Frenzy, SoR. Ive changed heal to Mending and change Shake it Off to SoS(to remove all conditions).
My setup is GS-S\S so i have lots of gup closers, have burst damage whatever but this is definitely not enough.

i could hardly burst half of his hp down and then he was just running rounds kiting me.
So maybe i should focus his adds first? or any advise. Thx.

couple more questions
1 what sigils can be used here? is it always sigil of strength or it can be replaced?
2 so.. didnt get why it is 25\25 not 20\30
what u get is +3% damage not all the time. you want your endurance be full to have chances dodge out or smth. While in 30arms u can get 33% to get vulnerability on crit that is not really so bad and you need just 3 stacks of it to have the same damage improvement for you BUT this also will up other team damage by 3%. Or you can take ‘crits get adrenaline’ which is really great if you use axe\axe for the second set (you can swap, evisicrate, whirl and you are full again), or anything else.
Basically i dont see why stick and move can be better

what about runes in that build?

thx a lot.
1 i was talking about PVE\dungeons\fractals etc.
2 is it much worth to have ruby orbs instead of divinity runes or with what can i change them because they are hell expansive

CoaxialMazer.9140:

If you want more information for PvE stuff, or ways to work with different builds I can help =D

heh, caught ya
ok. i started to play about a month ago so i can say i am new to this game, i started with warriro tanky dps dontain build and this was ok. Than i thought that i have to do more damage so i took berserker set and .. began to die well it was more or less ok but i wasnt satisfied with my damage i mean i bacame 2-3 times weaker with much less survivability while my damage didnt increase so much. I thiught its because i could not so often place my HB properly. So than i find this topic

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Enough-GS-zerker-Warriors/page/4#post1590793

where there were lots of discussions and i have thought – hell ye, thats what i really need. and make my current warrior.
http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8.0|7.1g.h1.7.1g.h15|c.1c.h1l.e.1c.h4|1g.a7.1g.a7.1g.a7.1g.a7.1g.a7.1g.a7|4v.0.1i.67.1i.67.1i.67.1i.67.1i.67|k5a.u53b.0.0.k56|56.0|0.0.0.0.0|e
but still i am not satisfied with its survivability. so i think i have either change my setup or L2P
so if u can correct my build with Axe\Axe or GS (run the same 20\30\20 but GS traits) i would be definitely thanksful.

great answer, thank you.
i have a question, why valkyrie weapon ? is it because you dont need much chit chance because of unsuspecting foe? but u have this on both builds. So why do you use bers weapon on the one build and valkyrie on the other?

Hi. What do u think about PVE, how would you change your build for dungeons\fractals? thx.

-so people are revived only when banner placed on the ground (either use elite skill or take existed banner and use 5 skill) ?
-can i do it several times with one banner?
-if i place my banner bafore battle and didnt touch it in battle noone will be revived automatically?
if all this true why so many people use it before battle? to revive smone u have to go to the place where banner is and use 5 with it, when u can use ur elite whatever place you want

I thought that it ‘revives’ people that are downed when u place it, but ive noticed that lots of people place it even before the fight. so how does it works, when it revives people and when it gives its stats bonuses?
thx.

thx for helping, everyone.

hi, newbie PVE question is coming
what do i have to do under water? what weapon skills should i use? because i cant literally deal any damage to mobs.
it is ridiculous but i spam water1 because it has the highest damage (according to tooltip). i use water 2-3 and explode it, then i go for fire use 4,5,2 then water again and do AA because water1 makes more damdge then Fire1. I am 48 now and i have masterpiece weapon smth about 44-45 level. i am in full masterpiece with power-precision (44-46 lvl) and i hit hardly more than 100 with my attack, earth1 does 3 times per 12 so what am i doing wrong?

thx for your reply. have one more question, but its a little bit offtopic, so sorry.
i saw your video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmj8EosnKYk
how is it possible to go 1-1 pvp? why noone came in? did you know before going to map that you will be against that ele? if yes, how did you get on the same map?
thx.

didnt find it in the guide, but what food is prefered for dungeons\free-pve?

sorry for quotting, but i really want to know what utilities suite this warrior more, so tell if possible

Red Falcon, can you tell me about your usual utility skills?
i’ve just come from pvt tanky dps build with vigirous shouts to full berserk and i am not sure what utility skills used in common situation in pve.
i use
1 For great justice (for team buffs and fury ofc)
2 shake it off\balance stance(some kind of survivability). i have also found siel that removes all conditions on use pretty usefull
3 banner of discipline but i hate it i mean stats look great and +%cd but its so annoying for me to use it and to go with it and to stand it and…

didnt notice that page dialog, sorry guys. question about life stealing is closed.

so
1 is that food not available for GS or any other weapon? why do u talk about life stealing only when talking about axe\axe?
2 i can see food gives us life steal without cd which is really great. so do we really need that sigil on our axe that triggers once in 2 sec? we could replace it for example with +5% damage sigil?

ok i will ask another way. how is it possible to get 15k for 3 sec if our sigil triggers only once in 2 sec or we have some other vampiric heailng that i didnt notice?
thx.

Hi. I’ve found your build really nice and im fed up with standing one place for 3.5secs and being really upset for every mob move, but i dont understand how does lifestealing works.
1 im not full berserk yet(trinkets) but i heal for about 500hp every 2s
2 “and insane amounts of life stealing through lifesteal (WA can heal up to 15k health in 3 seconds)” and i am sure i saw vids on youtube where guys do it. what am i doing wrong?
3 http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Life_stealing – “and the amount healed is not dependent on damage dealt” and “Life stealing triggered by whirl finished combos heals for 170 health + 0.05 per Healing Power at level 80, for each bolt.”
