Guild Wars 2

“My question is as follows, outside of the 100 blades skill how have people managed to use the other greatsword skills to it’s full effect.”

Mobility. Mobility, mobility, mobility. You state that Whirlwind Attack and Rush are bad, but they are for mobility. I NEVER use Rush as an attack (use Whrilwind Attack for damage quite often, as the cooldown is so small and the damage is about 5x higher than auto attack). And as for your assertion about Whrilwind Attack almost never doing full damage, I would say it deals full damage about 90-95% of the time.

Also, amazing traits:
Gain might on critical hit with a greatsword or spear. Greatsword and spear skill [sic] recharge 20% faster.
Movement skills break immobilize.

Those 2 are specific to greatsword, but the passive Adrenaline traits are good too, since they’re most likely better than the fury attack in PvE (and, important to note, this whole post is specific to non-dungeon PvE, however bull rush—>quickness—>100b is the cheesiest thing in sPvP against casual players who can’t dodge bull rush).

Wow, I was just checking out the dev tracker as part of my first exploration of these forums. I’m surprised that the devs even respond to people who speak with such indecency, and most likely only because they are hidden behind a keyboard.

Really sad, especially since the devs respond like a normal human being even though they put countless hours into making the game and the people speaking with such disdain have only played it for a week or two max.

For my part, I’ve enjoyed the necro a lot. Necro was the most fun (along with 1 or 2 other professions) class to theorycraft for me. From minion master, to condition damage (not so hot with all the condition removal), to Death Shroud focused, and, my favorite, dagger/warhorn focused.
