Guild Wars 2

I wanna wield weapons like a Female Human does, and stand idle like a Male Norn does.

How traits work:

If any other class
No CD, low CD 5-10 seconds.

If Warrior
15-25 second CD.

Inf Strike against Heartseeker thieves is HILARIOUS….

When you use the elite skill for twilight for example you should cut the edge of reality, leaving a space between GW2 and real life. A Limousine comes out and then chuck norris as he instantly defeats everyone, instead of getting downed however, there characters are deleted and a fist comes through the screen instantly killing the player. Then you are awarded 1000g and a super model comes to your house to marry you.

Morrigan.2809:

you might want to log in and check it out

I did, everyone is crammed in one place and every part of the world is empty.

I logged off.

Greatsword Warriors get a Vuln stack EVERY autoattack and 33% chance on a critical chance… for MORE seconds then body shot does.

We need something else, not a bad version of another specs utility.

I don’t understand why MMOs continue to ignore the use of spears and polearms, in the middle ages these were some of the best weapons used in many wars.

I would love a more armored appearance.

lots of buggy and worthless traits, plenty of ways to add new things, new traits and new ways to get things.. GEAR IS THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO ADD…

Ajaxx.3157:

Patch hasn’t happened yet, you don’t know how thing will actually feel while playing..all you’re doing and have been doing is theorycrafting.

This is just another random thread to go along with your daily spam on the warrior forums.

Wait until the 25th, see what works see what doesn’t and go from there.

Perhaps if it is true then the developers may read it and change it accordingly. Or simply giving them more ideas to play with.

Now you know why Omnomberry Pie wasn’t overpowered.

evilapprentice.6379:

Jasher.6580:

Look, the point I’m making is that the OP’s statement is false. Not everyone plays Asura. Not even in the higher brackets.

OP’s hyperbole might have been off, but his point remains valid – Asura have a noticeable advantage when you consider how many pets some current viable builds can field, the fact that they have entirely different animations for the same attacks when compared to other races (which means memorizing 2 animations for each attack), and how hard it can be to read said animations.

Its also funny that Male/Female Asura look the same while your fighting them. However they both have unique animations for each attack. So if your fighting a male or female asura you may get confused because of what one does. But there bodies look exactly the same.

I can make a very manly looking Asura female, or a very feminine looking Asura Male. Confusing my foe even more.

One of the best warriors: Defektive plays a female Asura because of this.

Skull Cracks animation for example is different on male/female asura… lol.

Cygnus.6903:

I like the idea, or at least the thought process behind it. I, however, like EP as it is, and I sit on 3k armor.

Why? You could reduce damage by 50% for 8 seconds instead, and your 3k+ armor would actually help to reduce it even further. If you had protection it would reduce it even further.

So you used 20 initiative… um… you realize we only get 12 right?

This was obviously over a long period of time, the guardian had plenty chance to react. In fact from how many attacks you did, you had many chances to react. Why didn’t you dodge? Why didn’t you use any of your invulnerabilities/shelter? You know a thief can’t hurt you when his initiative is down right?

Sorry, but this is a learn to play issue.

Currently its

“You gain might when you block an attack.”

it should say:

“You might gain block when you attack.”

SUPER MUSIC BOX FOREVER….

Dee Jay.2460:

Yeah…while the 10 seconds are somewhat excessive I agree that Swiftness just makes more sense than the ominous “50% speed increase”….which apparently isn’t 50% anyway but rather 33%…which is exactly what Swiftness grants.

The reason why they probably didn’t make it Swiftness is because as a boon it is prone to modificators like “boon duration” .

That in turn might result in Thieves having quasi “perma-Swiftness”, which while nice, goes against the “temporary boost” nature of boons.

You mean “boon duration” would actually matter for us like it does other classes? Le gasp!

I mean, getting boons from our boon tree that increases boon duration and claims to be acrobatics.

The UI for death shroud is improved so you can see your health and conditions and boons. You can now be healed in death shroud.

Blood Magic
Deathly Invigoration – Heal in an area and cure a condition when you leave death shroud.
((Healing: 1,302 (1.0)?
Radius: 240)) [It is buffed majorly, to be more like elementalist.]
[Cooldown: 10s.]

Curses
Furious Demise – Gain fury for 4 seconds when entering and leaving Death Shroud.

Weakening Shroud – Cast Enfeebling Blood when entering death shroud.

Death Magic
Death Shiver – Apply chill for 3 seconds every 3 seconds to nearby enemies while in Death Shroud.

Shrouded Removal – Convert a condition into a boon when you enter and leave Death Shroud.
[Cooldown: 5 seconds.]

Soul Reaping
Near to Death – Death Shroud recharges 50% faster.

Speed of Shadows – Move 50% faster while in death shroud.

Vital Persistence – Life force drains 33% slower while in death shroud.

Path of Midnight – All death shroud skills recharge 25% faster.

Spite
Spiteful Spirit – Gain retaliation for 4 seconds when entering and leaving Death Shroud.

This is to improve “Life Blast.”

Soul Reaping
Unyielding Blast – Life Blast pierces and causes a random offensive condition.
Confusion (4s)
Burn (3s.)
Bleed (8s.)

Spite
Reaper’s Might – Life Blast and Plague Blast grant a random defensive boon for 10 seconds.
(Protection 3s.)
(Regeneration 4s.)
(Vigor 5s.)

I feel that these are very strong and would need toned down, but the ideas for it would be similar, it would make more play-styles for the necromancer, and remember. Even though they all look powerful, you cannot have all of them. We don’t have a 30/30/30/30/30 spec

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Warriors absolutely are a buff class; if you do a numbers crunch you will see that guardians and engineers actually deal more than warriors, but I’ve brought that up numerous times and it’s besides the point of this topic. A 25% party increase is a 25% party increase regardless of the total DPS of said party. It also costs you absolutely nothing to bring; I have run DPS warrior myself and have packed two banners. In fact, if you do not otherwise have banners, it actually increases your own DPS more than any other utility you could be bringing in their place.

I have seen groups with three warriors where NO banners were being dropped. That is an absolute waste. I can’t imagine what utilities you need so badly that of nine utility slots between three players, not a single one of them can be spared to drop a banner to boost the party’s damage output by 15%. When I mentioned this I was told to bring the banners myself, because of course the engineer should be the one putting warrior buffs on everyone.

In case anyone is curious, an optimally-specced DPS engineer under the effects of two banners outputs about 8k DPS. A guardian outputs about 7.5k, and a warrior gets about 7.2k. Warriors are just more consistent about being able to apply their own boons so their average DPS looks higher.

Luckily we are getting damage nerfs to compensate for this lack of damage.

Siamak.8126:

Hey guys, I have both Warrior and Guardian and like both of them but for the life of me can’t decide which one to go with as my main, here are my basic needs if helps advise me on which would be better for me:
1. Survivability/durable ( very important )
2. Good Damage
3. Mainly PVE and Dungeons
4. PVP is not very important but like to try it from time to time.

1. Survivability/durable ( very important )
Kill it before it kills you. No sustainability. Warriors have the durability of a red solo cup in a party. AKA, have a blast before your thrown away.

2. Good Damage
Warrior is the best damage in the game, if your enemies stand still, to bad that isn’t the case, if the enemies move the Guardian does more damage.

3. Mainly PVE and Dungeons
Guardians are a required class in most high in fractals because of how good they are.

4. PVP is not very important but like to try it from time to time.
I dunno.

This is for open world, its meant to be slower like keg brawls, other things.

Duel
1v1: Fights are slower to make fights more epic.
1 Each player/pet/minion takes 50% less damage/condition damage.
2 No downed state, when the player is downed he is defeated.

Brawl
Group vs Group: Fights are slower to make fights more epic.
1 Each player/pet/minion takes 50% less damage/conditon damage.
2 No downed state, when a player is downed, he is defeated and out of the fight. When all the group is defeated the other group wins. It would be very team oriented, losing one teammate makes you 4/5 less effective in a brawl.

This would be like super smash brothers, could have cool fights in epic places, like the giant bridge in Caledon, and be awesome for role-play.

What Players want:
“Ninja Daggers”

What Players Get:
“Rambo/Hunting Knives.”

What Players want for Halloween:
“Ceremonial/Demon Daggers.”

What Players get for Halloween:
“Cheap Plastic Wal-mart toy gag dagger.”

:(

Altruistic Healing is almost on every guardian build, it simply heals way to much and heals for more then most ‘6’ skills.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Merciful_Intervention is also bugged and healing for three times, so not only do the guardians get a second healing skill, they have an almost full heal get out of jail free card.

Add an internal cool-down of 1 second to Altruistic Healing and increase the healing slightly to balance it please, 5 guardians with AH/Might on Crit builds can pretty much never die, even with 40 people beating on them. (as seen in videos.)

When every tree is 0/0/30/0/0 you know something is wrong with the tree, it offers high damage, high survivability, high sustain all in one package. I also think the 30% Critical Damage should be traded with the Virtues tree.

0/0/30/30/0 should not have the high damage it currently has… Its kind of ridiculous actually.

Jonwar.9205:

It apparently fits given the amount this community seems to cry.

I’ve been guilty of it myself at times, but do we really need threads with no other purpose?

Having “Predictable” burst damage as our only power does take its toll, after awile it becomes unfun, especially after the omnomberry pie nerf. We have “no” sustain.

Pistol Whip needs the first/second part separated, the first part should be smacking them with your pistol, which should be a fast casting melee attack that you can use on the move, the second part needs to root you and slash repeatedly while evading.

3-1 Pistol Whip (¼ Cast/Strike) 2 Initiative
Pistol-whip your foe, stunning them.
Damage: 302
Stun: ½ s
Range: 130
Can use while moving, when you use this skill it opens up “Sword Flurry” for the next 7 seconds.

3-2 Sword Flurry (½/Channel/Root) 3 Initiative
Evade attacks while slashing your foe repeatedly with your sword.
Damage (4x): 1,262
Evade: 2 s
Range: 130
Rooted/Evades attacks while Channeling.
If you move while channeling the skill, it cancels both your attack and Evasion.

Please fix skirts/coats.

Sil.4560:

Ugh. Yeah, roll another braindead guardian then. Just what this game needs.

Makes grouping easier. Heh. I love guardians!

Make them ridiculous and telegraphed with shiny effects please.

A lot of the traits we have are too weak and need to be remade to be on-par with others, we really could use a fresh start and new traits and playstyles for every class is the awnser, we need more metas and new builds, i’m tired of doing pvp and seeing the same build for every class, there just isn’t enough customization.

I wanna see all utilities used and fun ways and traits and boons for every class, every class should have access to a boon or something some how as long as it makes sense, we could even add in new sigils and improve runes to make up for that, and offer new choices for players.

(Sorry, i’m just tired of seeing the same builds/players now, and it doesn’t look like there can be anything else done, its been 6 months of the same, and interesting ideas that are found are usually nerfed, so there is so little choice now…)

Balance is fine, but everyone must realize that no game has balanced classes, there is no way you can make all classes balanced, classes should be balanced to there roles and what they are able to do, not exactly perfectly to what people want them to do. New traits bring a fresh eye on things and would add new rock-paper-scissor gameplay, especially if we focus more on conditions as well as other things, people complain about bunkers and just ask them to be nerfed… why not give some classes more condition-type traits to deal with bunkers? or offer new weaponsets? Why always nerf nerf nerf? We want more choice, not less!

“We’re tying our survivability.. condition wise, to being able to land hits. However at the same time we talked consistently as to how its difficult to land hits compared to other classes who can spam aoes.”

Sorry its not a learn to play problem, its a warrior problem. We have problems with being locked down, and Cleansing Ire only helps us when we don’t need it.

How can I get my burst off if i’m blinded/immobilized/chilled/crippled… ?

Still not fixed.

This is for Offhand skills, these are ideas i’ve come up with and seen across the forums, however I don’t remember who to give credit too, I know a lot of people want another F skill. These skills will be more defensive then offensive, however some are offensive secondary options.

something is wrong, I don’t even have enough to buy 1 piece of gear… lol

Folk.2093:

a lot of these builds were floating around, they were just as cookie cutter.

Well, lets see we probably had about 8 different viable and awesome builds for each class, now we have about 2-3, something needs to be done.

Alright, however make Lac strike free, lower the cost of flanking strike to 2.

TheKillerAngel.3596:

Those rewards are a bit too high, but I do agree with the idea in general of giving him better rewards. My reward schedule would look more like:

75% Health
1 guaranteed rare
2 exotic boxes
15% chance at an exotic weapon

50% Health
1 guaranteed rare
2 exotic boxes
25% chance at an exotic weapon

25% Health
2 guaranteed rares
35% chance at an exotic weapon
4 exotic boxes

0%, You successfully downed him.
6 rares and 2 guaranteed exotic weapons
6 exotic boxes
50% chance for an additional exotic weapon
15% chance for an ascended weapon
7.5% chance for a Tequatl ascended weapon

You don’t understand

Its not that high, its like 2.5% to get what you want.

In time, people will be downing him regularly. You don’t want to make ascended crafting invalidated.

No, he will be nerfed instead. Currently hes a waste of time.

Have you ever played a game like Lineage 2 with big open world bosses (Antharas, Baium, Lilith)?

Don’t care about other games. I know the path the game will take if the reward isn’t worth the effort.

People will avoid the encounter.

TheKillerAngel.3596:

Terrahero.9358:

TheKillerAngel.3596:

Have you ever played a game like Lineage 2 with big open world bosses (Antharas, Baium, Lilith)? Those required alliances of guilds to take down, aka hundreds of organized players. Tequatl is like these bosses. He’s not content designed to be facerolled.

Do you honestly think the people who have killed him before are going through the trouble to forge alliances, coordinate dozens of players from various guilds, to take on a 15min bossfight that might very well still fail.

Just for a regular boss chest, with a very small chance of a reskinned ascended weapon? Yeah, im thinking, nope.
And im willing to bet those big world bosses from LA2 did infact drop some pretty big-deal items. Am i wrong?

Antharas/Baium etc dropped boss-specific jewelry items which were considered among the best items in the game. I absolutely support increasing the rewards for Tequatl INSTEAD of nerfing him, but I do think the OP’s suggested rewards are excessive.

They really just want the mob nerfed so its easy-mode. Something is gonna give and I fear they are just going to nerf it.

Nobody is going to bother forming a raid for a 0.005% chance of good loot.

They will kill it once for achievement, then never do it again.

Calae.1738:

It gives them time between updates and is a way to get you to keep logging in.

Not really it keeps me logged out.

No they cannot bunker. They don’t have any good condi removal, protection, or source of sustain. Its better to go all DPS.

Yeah this is pretty OP. He must be able to use 4 weapon sets and 140 trait points, they need to nerf this warrior.

Furajir.3815:

Who the kitten even cares about healing signet, you think making healing signet on par with anything else any other class has would fix Warrs? You’d just find something else to kitten about Daecollo, no wonder you have such negative outlook on Warriors, you probably play like kitten based on what you kitten about.

Lets ignore a skill because I don’t like it

That is the reason why nothing gets fixed.

(Since it is a convert, these are not effected by boon duration.)
Bleeding=Regeneration 3 sec.
Blind=Retaliation 3 sec.
Burning=Regeneration 3 sec.
Chilled=Fury 3 sec.
Confusion=Retaliation 3 sec.
Crippled=Swiftness 3 sec.
Fear=Stability 3 sec.
Immobilized=Fury 3 sec.
Poison=Regeneration 3 sec.
Vulnerability=Protection 3 sec.
Weakness=Protection 3 sec.

A little different then a guardian, we don’t gain or should have any aegis or vigor from this trait, I don’t feel like the warrior should.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

LOL! So for 15 minutes of content, you want four (4) chances at getting a random Ascended weapon? I don’t know if this is Entitlement, or just a troll post.

45 minutes for all 4 actually.

If it was 15 minutes, it would be 1 chance and a very small one at that.
25% divided by how many sets there are. It would be around 2.5%.

2.5% sounds VERY REASONABLE to me.

The chances sound high, however when you actually randomize that chance again, the chance of getting the stats you actually want are very low.

The Condition Duration for the weapons does not work.

One-Handed Giver’s weapons have 10% and so do two-handed.

Make the stats work, and give Two-handers 20% Condition Duration.

Allow us to upload our own voices to abilities/boons we recieve.

Limit it to size/seconds. Would be fun!

Improve the Effects of the Toughness+Armor Stat to compensate, this makes toughness more valuable for damage reduction, which it should be.
