Guild Wars 2

Forum changes I foresee happening…

Forum Balance:
- Daecollo has a max amount of posts per month, the amount is capped at 1.
- Excalibur has been completly revamped, it now can’t post at all. On sPvP, Excalibur has his amount of posts doubled to compensate this.
- Warrior forum has been modified so it nows automatically sends QQ threads back to their original poster’s class forum.

anet, please

How can people still be this uninformed on classes?

Ele’s mobility was nerfed because Ele can bunker.
Bunker+Mobility = no. Infact Guards/Necros have poor mobility too.

Warriors cannot bunker in the slightest, just like Thieves, so they rely on speed.
If they nerf War’s mobility, then War should be able to bunker.
And believe me you’d hate that a lot more than a runaway Warrior.

Force.2841:

So I wanted to hear from you warriors how you think being able to escape almost all your fights is considered fair?

Warriors that can run away are the ones built to do so easily. They’ll often run Sword/WH, which is a mobility set. Thieves can build for perma-stealth and escape even easier. Rangers have a really high mobility build as well.

REGARDLESS of class, if you’re chasing a HIGH Mobility build, with a LOW-Mobility build, guess what? They’re probably going to escape.

Working as intended.

Force.2841:

warriors with their low CD’s (TAO ranger elite is 120 secs CD with 20 sec duration compared to Warrior 60 Sec CD Elite with Swiftness buff that lasts 33 secs…)

Rampage As One is 20 seconds of Swiftness, Fury, STABILITY. You’re comparing that to Signet of Rage. Apples and Oranges.

If you’re going to compare Rampage As One to Warriors, you need to compare it to our Rampage.

Warrior Rampage: 20 seconds of Swiftness, Stability, and increased Damage. Cooldown 150.
Ranger Rampage as One: 20 seconds of Swiftness, Stability, and increased Damage. Cooldown 120.

Ranger Rampage actually has a SHORTER cooldown than Warrior.

Force.2841:

At first I ignored it because I know in the past Warriors had some issues but this is just getting out of hand. It does not matter if I am on my Guardian, Ele, Ranger because I will still run into these warriors that drop all their weapon skills and if they notice I didn’t die and about to kill them they just run away and break any CC’s i put on them, making it impossible to catch up to them at times.

Many warriors including myself, will run DOUBLE stun breaks, and extra stability. In fact, most warriors feel like we’re pushed into bring all defensive utilities, to compensate for the things other classes will often throw at us.

Check out the popular builds: Zerker Stance (condition immunity), Balanced Stance (stunbreak/stability), Endure Pain (stunbreak/invul), Doly Sig (stunbreak/stability)….

This thing you’re whining about is called meta.

this warrior was just running around in circles taunting us.

Again, the HIGH-Mobility build is not catchable by LOW-Mobility builds? And this is unfair somehow? I guess next you’ll tell us that Zerkers builds need to do low damage?

Warrior, good : Yes, Op: million No. Balance : Getting there.

I fought a warrior today who told me how amazing his healing sig was and was trying to convince me to use it over my burst heal. He wanted to show it to me, so we did a few 1v1’s. He got a stun off on me and hit for decent damage, I hit one heal and went from 50% to 100%, I got one off on him and did 75% of his health, because my build is pure offense, he got about 6 seconds to regen to around 35%, I hit shield bash on him, 2 hits, down to 25% again, skull crack, 15%, and finished him off with 100b. The healing sig is nice against non burst classes if you can manage to keep the burst off you, the minute you get bursted and they apply pressure on you your done. To suggest nerfing it, without supplying protection in any way to the Warrior is laughable. It’s fine where it’s at.

Thieves are upset warriors aren’t automatic wins anymore. wahhhh

If 100b ever gets moved to F1, I’m done with Warrior.

Having 100b on F1 would render GS useless. Warrior would lose so many combos if 100b was set to F1.

Arcing Blade is fine, could probably replace the Fury with Torment stacks.

In all seriousness, GREATSWORD IS PERFECTLY FINE THE WAY IT IS. It just needs a quality of life changes to the skill rush.

The absolute worst is laying there dead with a bag sparkling just within reach, if only I could move my arm…

Take heed! I haven´t taken leave of my senses..

Another favorite of mine. Makes med armor crafting in Hoelbrak a very silent affair, otherwise I´d rip my speakers out..

Well, my last post got removed because of caps in first line.Seems odd but rules are rules.

This was the idea of the post:

Hi, Nicole here. Don’t post often.
Played 20 healers in 20 MMOs since Everquest 1 and DAOC.I am one of the wierdos that likes to heal or support.
As we know, GW2 has no “real” healer.Well, I can’t accept that.
So I went to the mysts and made EVERY class, I used EVERY possible build,EVERY rune set,EVERY sigil.
Sadly 12+ hours later, and 44 charts and graphs , I came to this conclusion:
Warrior is by far the best pvp/wvw combat healer.

B4 one of you tells me how your ( insert another class here) “pwns” at healing and you “like save people non stop”…..
I play daily at work and some at home.8-10 hours a day. ONLY wvw. I have seen it all and battled vs them all…server after server.Was here from day 1.
1.It is VERY rare to see or play with a fully exotic geared/ traited 100% healer of any class.
2.Yes I see some sort of, pseudo healers that dps and sort of heal.

After playing them all, I can say : other classes just do not heal as well or survive as long ( letting me heal longer). Not to mention my AOE dps is quite decent now ( bow).
Other classes can heal yes, but with terrible range, cool downs or they are a glass healer.
I can now spam ( usually) a 12+k AOE blast bow attack and 3k physical AOE bow attack. I know I am not dps, nor do I try and be, the AOE is quite nice though.

Stats and numbers for the number people:
Depending on exact setup ( based on my group):
I have 2200ish-50 000 hit points,3200-5000 armor, up to 2019 heal power, up to 2000 condition damage,17 seconds of defy pain/Block..and I self regen 900-1166 per tick full time.My self heal is 10.5-12.5k.Dropping me is not easy.

Heals :new trick at bottom I can AOE regen 900 range 333-409 a tick NON stop always+ buffs that come with flags. ( never ending)OR I can AOE shout heal 600 ranage+cure+buff instantly 9000 about every 20 sec.( again, based on whats best for group makeup.)
YES healing is weak in this game, but a dedicated full time skilled healer is a night and day diff in fights.Seen it literally thousands of times.Our usual 5 man rolls 5-15 mans easily.
In fights where its my server ( usually out numbered 2-5 to 1) when some team has us stuck at our main base steps for hours…I show up, in 5 seconds we push them back to our OL and promply take it back NP at all…then continue on to take 1/3+ of the map.
I am NOT here bragging about me or my skills. I am a serious player that has played many healers in many MMOS, many of them pvp games.
•I have found a way within the rules to both shout heal and massive regen same time, also how to regen 20+ at the same time**….a girl must have a few secrets )
