Guild Wars 2

oh god is that a treb?

I will never understand why dodge can be queued to begin with. It’s a mostly reactive ability; it does not need a proactive mechanic.

Again, I support this because skill queue is killing me via confusion stacks and things of that nature or just wasting my endurance bar for something that I don’t want to use it for.

Game changing to say the least.

when you dodge while a root hits you or while you are in root, you will ALWAYS dodgeroll after the root interrupting casts and heals which is gamebreaking.

This is some broken kitten interrupting a heal cd that is needed. For example i want to dodge mesmer root, he hits because i am too slow, server delay wahtever. Then i try to remove the root with ether renewal to get out of his blurred frenzy, but as soon as the root is cleansed my character dodge rolls interrupting my heal so i lose like 6k heal making me lose a game.

you need to fix this really quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

everyone, just try it, it´s stupid the way it´s right now!

EU teams often have a full bunker/support ele. The eles normally have a preference to s/d instead of d/d.

NA is normally more offensive with all their eles and include d/d builds with ogre runes or valk amulet. Pretty much NA meta is 1 bunker + 4 dps, but recently NA has run into a lot of engis with a lot of condi comps that include 2 engis or 1 necro + 1 engi.

Both servers usually have a mesmer/guardian somewhere in the mix.

tl;dr EU has bunker eles that run s/d while NA has d/d eles that are more offensive, NA more offensive in general, EU more defensive to play true conquest. Mesmers/guardians in the mix on both servers

Vuh.1328:

Just allow rangers to tame warriors as pet.

Well in roleplay, some warrior norns can already be tamed by cute human rangers.

Just allow rangers to tame warriors as pet.

Yeah it is stupid how strong rangers pets are. They were already strong before the patch, now their power level is over 9000.

Daecollo.9578:

Why is ranger’s pet better then the Warrior?

You’re wrong…correct question is “Why pets already were stronger than warriors and now you made then even more op?”

You clearly didn’t bring banners to whack them on the head.

It would have been better if it was ‘Burst skills crush boons, removing one and dealing X bonus damage. Cannot occur more than once every 10 seconds per burst skill’ (to keep Sword/LB burst from becoming godmode in one fell swoop) instead of another boring % damage increase that doesn’t even really help.

Boon stealing is an interesting mechanic and is on a really telegraphed skill so I’m fine with it.

Warrior’s version of boon hate is what I would consider the hilariously lazy balancing, I was making jokes that they would make boon hate something entirely worthless like a direct increase in damage for weeks before the patch and… It actually happened, fixing absolutely nothing about the class, adding no new dynamics to warrior play, not to mention putting it in the glass cannon traitline as a grandmaster trait.

They should have just made something about warr destroy boons, that’s way less OP than thief’s boon stealing but yet somehow a massive improvement to what we have right now.

E-sport this, e-sport that, it’s a bit sickening to see that word popping up everywhere and being so widely misused:(

E-sport is nothing but a business: pro players getting paid and competing for real money, whose games are commented by remunerated shout casters to an audience that generates money through advertisement.

See a trend here? Money.

Turning gw2 into e-sport won’t improve the inherent qualities of the game, it will just inject money in the circuit thus making it artificially more interesting to follow.

What the players need above all, and I’m really talking about the majority of players here, Not the 1% that have the skills to go e-sport, not the shout casters, not the guys who just sit and watch games without playing it, so what 95% of the players want and need is a polished competitive game with fun combat and a healthy competition.

Once this is achieved then please consider adding the money and waving the e-sport banner:p

Thanks Jonathan Sharp for the video.

I must say it looks really interesting, thought I must myself feel how it works. There are ‘hot spots’ but it seems you can’t walk around with the camera freely.

Hopefully it will work out really well, because it looks really good, imo.

Also a video about Custom Arenas here.

Also thanks to John Corpening for this video about Custom Arenas!

I must say this looks awesome as well, there sure are some lovely options there, more than I imagined.

He’s not wrong, and this has been discussed to death in the warrior forums. Secondly, why would you have to nerf everyhing? If you were to buff brawn back to 30% the only skills that would need nerfing would be killshot/eviscerate.

Secondly, any replacement for brawn would be welcome. We’re the only class with a trait line with only one stat (3% increase on two skills might as well not be there). It doesn’t have to be damage, it could be -30% cast time on burst skills, +30% adrenaline gain, anything at all that makes a difference. I don’t think warriors would care what it was replaced with provided it did something other than give killshot an extra 300 damage.

As I have already stated, I don’t think that “Burst Skill Damage Increase” should be brawn’s effect seeing as a majority of the Burst Skills don’t do much damage.
Normally I would have suggested that they remove “Quick Bursts” (-20% on Burst skill cooldown) and make Brawn reduce burst skill cooldown by 1% per point. However they’re baking both Quick Bursts and Adrenal Reserves into a combined trait, reducing burst skill cooldowns could still work I suppose, being able to use your burst skill every 5s isn’t much of an issue because your adrenaline doesn’t build quickly enough to keep up unless you spec for it, which is a different tree entirely.

EDITED IN TO CLARIFY THE SUBJECT:

• Brawn affects Burst Skill Damage, the warrior profession mechanic attached to adrenaline. Not the concept of Burst Damage which is exemplified by say, 100b.
• Only Killshot and Eviscerate do high damage. The rest of the Burst Skills do medium to terrible direct damage.
• I, as the OP, do not actually believe this stat should be increasing Damage, should it ever be fixed. I’d much rather it be anything else.

WILL EDIT IN MORE STUFF AS PEOPLE CONTINUE TO POST FLAGRANTLY UNEDUCATED OPINIONS

“Increase Burst Skill Damage by 0.1% per point in the Discipline traitline.”

Not that I can blame the community guests for not knowing about this because literally nobody important plays warrior; But this is absolutely ridiculous and I feel a key reason why warriors are terrible in pvp. We essentially have a stat that is entirely useless built into our critical damage line.

I can’t be the only one who realizes how ridiculous this hasn’t been looked at since beta, when it was nerfed into the ground from 1%>0.1% because of the 1shot eviscerate build.

Also in case you, the reader of this thread, is really thick and think this stat is actually useful, investing 30 points into discipline would give you a grand total of…. +3% burst skill damage.

Let’s draw a parallel to every other class’s specific stat at max trait investment:

Elementalist: -30% cooldowns on Attunementswap
Engineer: -30% cooldowns on Toolbelt skills
Guardian: -30% cooldowns on Virtues
Mesmer: -30% cooldowns on Shatters
Thief: -30% cooldown on Steal
Necromancer: Increase Death Shroud healthpool by 30%
Ranger: Improve all pet attributes by 300, total of 1200

Aaaaaaand
Warrior: +3% damage increase on your burst skills, most of which don’t do much direct damage.

I would also like to kindly request this thread doesn’t get moved to the warrior forums, because that just kills any chance whatsoever it’s getting read by the people actually in charge of fixing kitten like this.

EDIT:
Popular suggested changes to Brawn:

• Increase Adrenaline buildup rate up to 30%
• Decrease Burst Skill cooldown up to 30%
• Increase Burst Skill damage up to 15%, or revert it back to 30% with a nerf to the base damage of Killshot and Eviscerate (Personally I am not a fan of this because a large majority of the other burst skills don’t do much direct damage at all)

Don’t derail my thread to thieves. Warriors will be strong. At least I will be OP

It’s great that PvP will bring some money to the developers, so probably PvP can be a higher priority, which is great.

The only problem is: PvP players make 2 copper a day (pvp daily reward). The only way we can make some more is selling dye from boxes.

So hardcore pvp players won’t be able to rent a server, only the pve dudes will have to money for that if they won’t make some changes.

Rare minis from chests or skins, like in GW1, would solve the problem.

Agreed. PvP players need some way to fund the expense of renting arenas.
