Guild Wars 2

Warrior is bad for sometime now.

But if you are still a stubborn ballsy Norn with plenty of chest hair, then:

• Get rid of Tactics line, no one use that.
• Pick Discipline line, this line is what makes Warrior a Warrior.
• I recommend picking Shield instead of Mace off hand.

here is my issue with humans males, almost all cultural armor is way better on females, even the heavy T3 armor looks too fat on males, but looks awesome on females

It seem my fellow Warriors don’t like reading Walls of text, well who does so guilty myself.

TLDR

• Cull the weak is now a minor.
• Thick Skin is merged with Desperate power and now is a major.
• Cleansing Ire is now a minor.
• Adept traits now spread out between all three tiers and some other traits redistributed.

Aury.1367:

If the commanders wont abuse this to track the zerg down

lol

take off your clothes, boy.

flawed argument.

a thief or a mesmer can run away without you even knowing and he would do all these things 10 times better than a warrior.

you should change title to “Destroying Arms” or “Nerf GS”.

because i dont see the improvement you are talking about, nerfing things so other things become viable is not a proper logic.

Really!! the test times has no consideration for EU players, just like the 1st one.

maybe ill get to participate in the 1st one a bit late, but the others are too late for me.

+1

shouts should never be affected by blindness.

Julie Yann.5379:

Maybe they are deaf. I can shout offensive things to a someone but if that can’t hear me it won’t hurt them.

better if there was another condition “Mute” prevent shouts and spells would make more sense, but enough of more conditions we have already plenty of them.

use Rapid Fire its the new 100b.

Yeah it sucks.

If it was me i would get rid of the useless Thick Skin and put Dogged March there and thats it, everyone happy.

kittening unplayable.

Ok fine

but 1st remove every instant cast skill other professions have and replace it with high telegraphed ones just like every warrior skill , remove every abused evade/teleport/stealth skill , then you have my permission.

ok ? ah you say NO ? …. i guessed so now back to thief forum.

you didn’t put this in Meeting the Asura mission

Caithe Caaithe Caaaaaithe

^^^

You can Buff Physical skills damage by 300% and they would still suck, It needs Utility.

Currently Warriors take Peak Performance for just ONE skill “Rampage”

As for Stun breaks and stability, as i said that will make it too similar to Stances and will make Frenzy obsolete as it break stun and gives quickness plus Vigor if traited .

Maybe we could change specific Physical skills like Stomp since it already a stun breaker to reduce it cool down and maybe give it a few seconds of Stability.

My vision for this change is to introduce a “new play style” for warrior that relies on a bit high up time on Resistance, Quickness and Regeneration via physical skills to survive but a bit weak against CC and boon strip skills.

OMG game is kittening unplayable.

Thief.5186:

My guess would be shortbow, only weapon warrior doesnt have that would still fit the warrior theme, of no “magic” based weapons

AK-47 confirmed.

ha

see how Glint sounds like in GW1

Harper.4173:

Juba.8406:

Disagree.

this will beg more nerfs to 100b damage.

As i always said, 100b should be (Hard to setup/High reward skill), the current issue is that “the reward” is not high enough compared to the large effort done to set it up, but i think the upcoming changes will address this issue.

What changes are those?!

The new Forceful GS, Physical Skills improvement, the new Zerk power.

^^^

ANET said " Warrior Rely on Speed" when describing Warrior

its fair in my book.

I won’t say I don’t care for PvE.
I won’t say Nerf phalanx strength to the ground.
I won’t argue about how different Forceful GS work in PvP than your usual still mob.

But

How about you go to your ele or necro or whatever proffesion forum and QQ about their role in PvE instead of crying loud to Nerf other proffesions based on upcoming changes that hasn’t finalized yet ?

Thank you.

how about you l2p

Epic song indeed.

PVT shout heal build is great for WvW zerging , but for PvE you should aim for full zerker, maybe keep the traits as its now and start replacing PVT gear by berserker little by little until you get better at it.

Warlord.9074:

try before you cry. I said this before and i’ll say it again. warrior was in a good spot already but other classes need to be brought down a ton.

Fast forward other classes have been brought down a ton and warriors were buffed. Quit crying please if you don’t even tryed it.

Warlord.9074:

Warriors are worst off now than before.

The buffs warriors received did relatively nothing to help them sustain in a burst meta or any meta.

Hard counters such as thief and necros revived buffs to further give them advantage to warriors. Druids are unkillable, and so are Revs and DH. At skilled level.

ANET is so far behind the times that they think giving warriors a little more passive healing would help when other professions were a joke last time warriors had decent healing and shouts the gave them even more healing than we have now.

So it took you 2 days to see the obvious

Drazerg.8956:

Juba.8406:

Healing signet alone is not enough to make warrior OP.

what make Warrior OP is the combined CC + AoE + Cleansing Ire +Stability + Healing Signet + adrenal health + max toughness.

which translates to ONE BUILD the Hambow.

The Point of this nerf is to promote “Active” play instead of “Passive” play. When i see a guardian keeping his block heal, and waiting at just the right moment to block an eviscerate and time when to use his walls/bubbles at just the right place at the right location and timing some blinds for that hammer stun/dangerous skill, that takes skill and knowledge of the game to pull off, rather then Mr. Warrior troll swinging everywhere and dosen’t give two kittens of whats going on because he’s already healing up with his signet and the rest of his HamBow cheese armor to back him up.

Warrior is not a Guardian, warrior’s “supposed active play” is wrecking things up not healing and blocking, thats other class job, so passive healing suits warrior well as it makes him focus more on damage.

but again you are QQing about just one build, just one.

which is indeed strong but not because of healing signet alone as i said above.

the trick is how to nerf Hambow without sending warrior garbage , already Hammer and Long Bow received big damage nerfs but still Hambow is what mostly warriors play in PvP.

Finally we got a WTS winner team with a Warrior in its ranks.

congratulation R O M, you made every warrior proud.

the games, the plays (pretty sure I’m not overreacting) THE BEST EVER SEEN.

and the comebacks oh God so amazing, magic like, UNBELIEVABLE.

level 3 they are the problem

wow, so much hate toward warrior.

i remember back then when Warrior was mere a Clown getting everyone laughing , just when we got better sustain and anti-condi tools the warrior got better, but still the Warrior which is a melee class is the most telegraphed class in game,with no stealth, teleports, minions, pets or protection and with not the best in-battle mobility.

also FYI, Warrior is on the nerf for the 5th time in a row, so get done with your QQ already.

the problem is, ANet can’t see past Hambows, for ANet Warrior = Hambow !!, without any care for other builds just hambows, in fact Warriors are forced to go hambow to be effective in PvP because other builds are just meh,but you see, it is only good in one place, just one which is capture point PvP, you won’t see it in TDM PvP or in WvW or even in PvE .

^^^

dude, do you even WvW ?

Akijo.7395:

Juba.8406:

Its normal you know.

One time i was like usual doing 100b in mid Foefire, my m8 chrono gave me alacrity and quickness, my 100b turned into 1000b then our engi gave me magnet power, i pulled all players to my 1000b and then it happened numbers beyond believe started to appear, My GS got too hot to the point that 1000b reached their lord and got insta died, game ended with the message:

“You Win”

no joke i tell you.

Wow mate, that looks awesome, like, you just created the new meta, care to share your build with us so we can be awesome too?

I only saw a glimpse of the build, as it was descending from the heavens towards my 1000b, i couldn’t see the build link because it was so bright it almost burned my eyes.

its basic info that Crack Shot works with Killshot also Merciless Hammer with Earthshaker.

and of course these traits don’t reduce burst CD because we have a trait line dedicated for that.

I made it to Diamond last season.

I WILL get to legendary this season with my warrior.

OP, UP or whatever, ill get there.

After the patch i ve been having the worst match makings ever, while Solo Q as Diamond i was 7 pips away from legend

But since the patch I always face Premades + Legends

AND I ALWAYS BEING PUT IN AN AMBER/SAPPHIRE teams that cant even look in the map.

WHY ???!!

because Guardian is slow

Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582:

Just explain why it is essential to Warrior. Any reason you come up with can as easily be applied to any other class. It is an incredibly powerful trait and should not be baseline.

Because Warriors are masters of weaponry ?

Because Warriors are 80% melee class ?

Because Warriors got no AI ?

Because Warriors got no stealth, teleports, instant cast attacks, protection, regeneration, aegis, perma evades or combo fields ?

Because leaving Fast Hands as its now means every warrior will have to trait Discipline ?

Because Warriors got 00000000.00 ZERO Baseline traits ?

hmmmm lets see what others got :

Thief
Traits that are now baseline:

• +1 Venom additional charges.

Guardian
Traits that are now baseline:

• Consecrated Ground (Consecration skills use ground targeting).
• Elite duration increase.
• Improved Spirit weapon duration.

Mesmer
Traits that are now baseline:

• Reduced glamour recharge rate.
• Phantasmal damage boost.
• Manipulation range.
• Illusionary Persona: Shattering illusions creates the shatter effect on you as well.
• Illusionary Elasticity: Bouncing attacks have one additional bounce.
• Protective Mantras: Gain extra armor when you cast a mantra

Necromancer
Traits that are now baseline:

• Wells uses ground targeting.
• Minion recharge reduction.
• Focus weapon range increases.

Ranger
Traits that are now baseline:

• Longbow velocity increase and range increase.
• 75% trigger rate on spirits.
• Grant fury on use of Survival skills.

these bugs now are the biggest reason for NOT bringing a GS to a fight.

Rezzet.3614:

zerker nerf is only 10% crit damage

either its low or high nerf , the fact remains that this nerf was addressing a PvE issue.

WvW does not have an issue with crit damage.

Xaylin.1860:

JonPeters.5630:

• Time Marches On – You move 25% faster. The duration of incoming movement-impairing conditions is reduced by 25%. (Cripple. Chilled, Immobilize)

We will get so much hate for this one!

So… not sure what to do now… 6/6/6/0/0/0 or 6/0/6/0/0/6…

its like (a better version of Warrior Sprint + a bit weaker version of Dogged March) in one trait as Minor!!

its OP for real.

This is even worse than Chrono quickness rezz

for real.

other professions getting some very SERIOUS GM traits and balances that will benefit some of an already OP builds.

so scrolling down to see what warrior gets…….“Warriors who love to dual-wield……this trait will increase your attack speed by ten percent when wielding an off-hand axe, mace, or sword”

seriously ? so what about Warriors who “HATE” to dual-wield ?? , compared to what other professions are getting this is just ultimate MEH……

nvm, lets see warrior’s balance………. “Healing Signet will be reduced by 8%, Pin Down will be moving from a ¼ second cast time to a ¾ second cast time”

bla bla bla, QQ won i guess here nvm, lets move on.

“and a few other bugs will be fixed which were allowing more advantage than expected on the battlefield”

what ?!!! i almost got happy for a second i thought they are finally and after 2 years they will fix “Rush” or “Bulls charge” or “Flurry” bugging out, BUT reading it again VERY slowly ….. nope …….. its official they hate warriors ……. really BUGS are allowing warriors advantage ?!!

nvm, move on ….. what else warriors are getting…………….. sorry thats all about Warrior…………………………………………………!!

seriously thats it ?! and you call that a FEATURE pack ?

^^^

ya, i think i’m not going far if i say that “Mesmer” is going to die because every mesmer will be a Chronomancer.

1st ANet i love you guys and i love what ur doing in GW2.

and i know that there is some issue with berserkers in PvE.

but do you guys even play WvW ?

other from zergs WvW is an infested Bunker-Condi builds.

in WvW to be a good roamer is to go Dire or Rapid, in WvW condis are OP the opposite of what they are in PvE.

just check just the food prices for -40 condi duration.

and now you are nerfing Critical Damage for WvW ?!!!!!!

you force every roamer and his mother to roll condis even more.

what logic is this, how can you compare PvE to WvW.

this nerf should be kept in PvE as its only addressing PvE issues not WvW, it should not hit WvW

serialkicker.5274:

Well, there are no really good MMOs around anyway, so that’s why gw2 is on top and maybe it deserves it, but that doesn’t mean it’s a great game. A lot of stuff needs to be improved and changed… It’s a good game, but no way near my list of top games…

there are no really good games around in general not just MMOs.

but also after playing GW2 for a year and a half and considering myself a gamer for 25 years, i can say with confidence that GW2 is on the top of my list.

ANet did a great job in this game that i recommend them as an example to other gaming studios.

HS QQ again, oh god -_-

ok how about a deal ???

make Anet adjusts Mending to heal for 8k and ill stop using Healing signet.

no ??

ok then, how about deleting healing signet but give us in return stealth, protection, regeneration, perma evade, water fields and shadowsteps ???

???
??
?

advice to OP, you have to look at the whole picture.

gem store PvP announcer pack is a nice idea.

Make Fast Hands Baseline —-—> Berserk get fixed.

thats all.

Also My personal issue with the naming which implies Brute Force but burning plays a big role here.

other from the that then Berserk looks nice.

The issue is you have to pick Discipline line with Berserk. <- solve this and Berserk is fixed.

hmm Dragon Timer ?
