Wastrel’s Ruin does tier 3 Eviscerate damage and is pretty quick. Dagger 5 isn’t great, but isn’t terrible either, since it provides a few useful effects. If Axe 5 reflected projectiles it would make OH axe usable.
axe 4 does just as much and give quickness?….
axe 4 has 2.35 multiplier
wastrel ruin only has 1.5
and axe 4 has no restriction to its damage
pvp wise, projectiles reflection on any dagger, axe off hand doesnt really make it worth replacement of shield.
the meta has too many projectile hate since HoT anyway, that now no reflect-able projectiles are worth reflecting, the ones you want to reflect is unblockable anyway, like DH’s push back on LB.
I really don’t know. Warrior already has a tons of useless off hand which Anet can not make viable for years. Buffs after buffs, it doesn’t really matter.
What’s the point of adding more weapons to a class which already has way too many useless weapons…
They should just add more class skills instead
Main hand dagger will obviously be used. because it’s the only good one with tier 1 burst. but shield will be better for pvp.
and what makes offhand dagger better then offhand axe pve?…and offhand axe is useless..
…Torch was OK, because there’s no burst high condi off hand..but there’s already axe offhand this time..
i assume they made main hand dagger first only, then they thought it’s too simple to only have so few new skills so they just made a dagger offhand just for the sake of making the elite less underwhelming.
and i’m not sure where you got the feeling spellbreaker has synergy with strengths. nothing buff strength more then defense and discipline
At least in WvW zerging, I can see warrior going STR/DISC/SB hammer with all CC traits.
To be honest, Spellbreaker’s heal alone is enough to make me consider dropping defense, let alone Full Counter.
in seriously pvp, or roaming, 1v+ you can not hope to drop defense.
You can definitely drop Defense as Spellbreaker, but it depends on the set up and play style you are going for.
nop you can not drop defense, there’s no way, might makes right does simply not make you drop defense, nor can full counter, which is can be poked with the simplest attack. any serious 5v5 or roaming, you can not drop defense
i would rather they just change the legendary armor to a unique cool skin, even with only ascended stats, ill spend all my saved no-use ascended shards for them.
im not going to use my shards and all the mats just to make a legendary armor which i already have in my wardrobe as skin…why would i, when i can just save these for legendary weapon…not like i don’t have full meta pve stats gear already…
let’s say ventari goes to your home, so you going to ignore it and play far mid?
then they have spawn advantage, if then ventari goes to cap mid, you are going to go back to cap home? then you are going to lose far 4v4 because they have spawn advantage. if you don’t cap home and win far, they will have mid and home..not to mention if enemy team has portal. it will be even harder to out rotate, just because you decide to ignore rev
but imo biggest problem is condi thief, if condi thief doesnt exist, we can run power build and burst down ventari rev.
i play power s/d at t3 plat..this s/d condi spam no skill stuff seriously needs to go, it’s even more annoying then ventari rev, just because it requires 0 skill and kills off all the fun power builds except thief
U can start a fight with 100% energy, it gives u a little extra, maybe the extra a lot of people want….it doesnt change a thing about managing your resources, u just have more to start with…if u think its OP…then 75% could be a nice middle way….
If u start a work out, you dont start with 50% of your own energy, cause that would suggest u feel crap and should lay in bed, not work out… :P:P
necro should start with 100% life force, because you work out you dont start with 0 force
what? my holosmith build has tool kit some others use elixir gun or spectrum shield
and what do you mean, you have a choice between all the utilities thats great, why do you want to stick to kits…
man i wish i can play something else other then stances on warrior that’s been a must for 5 years or something
clearly you don’t like support role, that’s why you dont like scrapper, nor jack of all trade that can do everything
all you like is cheese insta damage, according to the classes you like now
strength is not mandatory, defense and discipline is, you can not drop these two if you play serious pvp.
strength line definitely make power build a lot more fun, like pre nerf building momentum
if there’s a meta for spellbreaker, meta will only be spellbreaker/defense/discipline
and i’m not sure where you got the feeling spellbreaker has synergy with strengths. nothing buff strength more then defense and discipline
have you played it? in pvp?
it’s amazing, destroy all boons (better steal them all) and crit blocking target for 5k with spammable unblockable attack.
no more block spam, no more boon spam
I have had the exact same experience over the last two days. I was 1663 and ive dropped almost a hundred points due to being matched with low rank players. I have to win two for ever loss.
The loss and gain of rating solely based on your personal rating vs the Average rating of the opposing team.
if it is true, you are teamed with low rating people and your team gets dominated because overall out skilled and yet you are still losing more then 15 points each match, seems wrong to me
I don’t disagree with the idea of taking the entire team’s average into account when determining how many points are gained or lost. But I can’t say I know how they do it one way or another.
I will say one thing though, be careful just assuming your losses are due to being matched with lower ranked players. Yes, some might be. But why assume its only your team? Who is to say your wins haven’t been against teams with lower ranked players? Whose to say your losses where you have a low skill player the enemy team doesn’t also and they just did a better job hiding that fact?
Arrogant to assume your successes are due to your own prowess but your losses are due to something outside your control.
your logic is flawed..and you are not on the topic.
doesn’t matter the lose is due to being matched with lower ranked players or not, you should not be losing 15 points while getting completely getting stomped one match after another, after you reach certain rating threshold .
And does it matter if my enemy team is low rank or not, so i’m matched against team that are so much better then mine(we can not hope to win a single fight) yet they are all accidentally ranked lower then me, one match after another? that’s what you are saying?
and does it matter if my wins are against low rank? i’m not getting 15-18 points per win, i’m getting 7-10 that seems fair after winning a match against lower rank, so what’s the problem here?
ButterPeanut.9746 I expect you’re correct on both counts. At this point with almost 90 views I got exactly what I expected. No replies other than yours. Goes to show, nobody is treated as poorly as the Warrior.
You’re kidding right?
Well no, I’m not. The fact that you offered absolutely nothing to refute my claim speaks volumes. Thanks for your complete lack of substance. Please take the last word, I’ve already wasted enough time on you.
The class that’s king of raids, a backbone of WvW frontlines and strongest roamers, and has had seasons of total dominance in spvp.
Treated poorly by devs. God, you are adorable.
I wish my revenant or necromancer were treated as “poorly” as your warrior is.
backbone of wvw frontline? warrior? that’s like 2014, at the moment warrior is completely useless in frontline zerg and has been that way for a long time now
king of raids is elementalist
rev has more pvp meta time since it’s introduction then warrior will ever have since gw2 release

..if your team has very low rating compare to the average of both team..
you should not be losing -18 while getting completely dominated…
i noticed a pattern..the moment i reach 1650 ish, you will start getting 1500 as teammate and get dominated and lose 15+ rating each match for straight 3-5 matches…while before 1650 it was normal like around 10 win or lose…
…you keep using the word melee range…but you have no idea what’s a melee range
it’s like saying d/d ele is melee…no it’s truly not, sword ele is melee yes, d/d ele is not melee, it’s huge aoe, you just need to be in a certain area and people get hurt.
try play some real melee classes and see for yourself
true melee range is 130 in front of you
If a melee hero can dash 600 range, then smash your face in, then 600 is melee range.
by that logic, rev hammer is also melee range
btw thief can dash 2100 range to your face, does that mean 2100 range is melee range, so everything in game is melee, there’s no ranged. yes, everybody’s melee only, longbow ranger is also melee range

should have shake up the variation of maps, at first i saw the golden city trailer i thought there would be a map only for the city with relaxing event and stuff, like a relaxing place in the desert or something of that concept
but no, 4 maps are all the same annoying disaster, not challenging, but annoying..to even simply navigate
my main will always be male(race depends on what i like at that moment of creation), and alts can be different gender different race w/e with different style just to shake up the variation
Are you implying Holosmith is easier to read than warrior? Because I really doubt that.
Did you try holosmith? It’s abilities are all HEAVILY telegraphed with massive obvious yellow glowing things.
never as easy to read as warrior as long as engi has stealth and easy access to quickness
and only the holosmith f5 part is telegraphed but not the whole class, can easily set up
The fact that people can’t see how powerful Spellbreaker really is makes me giggle. I can’t wait to go into PvP and WvW and just kitten stomp the hell out of plebs all day. Give it a week, warrior will be FotM and all your tunes will have changed.
100% sure holo will be first month FOTM
You’re right it will. Once people start realizing how easy their attacks are to read though, they’ll fall in popularity I’m sure. Don’t get me wrong though, I LOVE Holosmith as well as Spellbreaker.
100% sure scourge/firebrand will be second month FOTM

Only thing I can think of is the aoe boon strips and reveals for pvp. Other than that, a vanilla power warrior who goes into Strength, Defence and Discipline with Might Makes Right is better. Puts out a lot more pressure than Spellbreaker.
why take spell breaker when you have scourge with sand sade aoes and elite converts every boon to condition
Because spellbreaker with revenge counter kittens scourge up?
Ditch offhand dagger and run shield. run disc, str, spellbreaker. I tried running it as pure defense, and it’s terrible with SB. need to play an active play style.
And? still not worth the DPS slot of a team comp, the only role a warrior has a chance to compete in a team comp is tanky on point brawler/disrupt/support, but there’s scrapper, tempest lol
