ya I’ve done the valk hammer setup a long time ago I’m not a fan. I’m happy for you, that you could scrape together some eb gank footage though.
You play underdog classes and then you cite 6 sentences later the ranger class from aion? waaaaaat?
I remember running that setup 1 week after realease!!! Memories!!!
ohh lord once I got over the giggles from a warrior using bolt and then the 2 Mesmer fights then you drop this golden nugget on me
“I’m not going to give away my build by any means. It took work to achieve this build. Self made and it’s the best I’ve played in my 800 hours as warrior”.
lol ty
The moderation on these forums is totally and completely biased. Stupid troll comments and incorrect responses stay at the top of the page for weeks and when you call these lies out you get heavily moderated.
Now some corrupt mod probably one of the trolls that frequents the warrior forums with L2p comments, that would be too op or my personal favorite the tooltip quoter gets warrior posts moved from the actual warrior forums.
I understand it doesn’t make the game you work for or play and abuse the overpowered classes fun when people bring the truth out from under the blanket of lies you create.
You’re probably one of the top 5 trolls in the warrior forums with your classic line to almost every warrior suggestion “that would be too op”.
I was talking about thieves initiative system and stealth together it’s very strong bordering op. So arenanet would give them something because they whine about it that’s terrible man. What a great example of what is wrong with this game.
If somehow you get furious nerfed with combustive shot I will come to your house and head butt your gentials repeatedly
Arenanet doesn’t care about balance why would that be a problem? lol why would the thief need f skills they already have one of the best core mechanics in the game with stealth and now these super evade builds ppl are starting to abuse the crap out of.
right but hardly aoe unless everything is stacked on top of each other. I wonder if they meant for it to have a melee range effect or it’s a bug or design oversight
doze mesmers lol wow
probably a thief using shadowstep and a channeled range ability likely a warrior using kill shot tracked him during the cast.
would you like any salt with your wound?
Warrior longbow is much cooler than ranger longbow. Maybe not as powerful, but
for me it is more fun. Plus the fire field and aoe blind gives me yet another way to
support friends.
I really wouldn’t call the blind on the warrior longbow aoe 5 ppl need to be literally stacked on top of each other for it to hit others.
If this guy is torn between a warrior or thief and wants to know if the warrior is boring then the answer would be yes it is boring and picking up the thief would be a no brainer.
Warrior is lil more than a low level pve mob in this game in all game modes. It’s highly telegraphed abilities are easy to dodge in pvp and the pve gameplay is a mindless 2 spam with greatsword in dungeons. A lot more thought and positioning goes into other classes that yield a far greater reward when played decently.
They were both some what tanky. I, hammer + sword/WH in Knights Gear with Melandru runes. Other warrior Shout Heal with Axe/Sword/WH in PVT Gear with runes that escape me now.
You had enough pressure with those non dps setups to down 2 guardians??? I don’t think that’s possible unless they were underleveled or braindead.
lol
A warrior is not a guardian and I completely agree with your points, it doesn’t need more defensive boons, they don’t fit the profession’s theme.
Every class in the game has decent access to defensive boons except warriors it’s comments like these that really make me want to head butt my wall repeatedly. Is every class like a guardian then? /facepalm
btw vengeance is an abomination of a downed skill total garbage. If it is to stay as is it should be moved to the 2 position in the downed abilities bar.
I’ve seen warriors fly from one gathering spot to another. How they do that?
Guess it’s good most thief players are trash when it comes to this class.
Nice blinds lol
first fight longbow/sw/sh warrior
Bangs head on wall repeatedly
I don’t see how ppl can say the hammer is fine. The weakest I’ve ever felt playing the warrior was when I had a hammer. It has no defensive options and if the offensive cc gets negated by stability aegis or a dodge roll you’re sitting there with your junk in your hand.
Not only is it super slow and highly telegraphed there is no boons on it or linked to it through traits. It’s gap closer is terribly short. It’s mediocre when coupled with sw/wh and a lil better paired with gs. The knockback roots you in place and is embarrasingly short. Hell the knockback would fit the longbow better than the stupid hammer it’s totally redundant since you want to be in the players face not knocking them just out of melee.
The only time I’ve ever been effective with the hammer was running a glass setup with it in wvw during the 100b days 8 months ago.
To make the hammer fine with minimal effort they would need to halve the cooldowns on it but guess what the only aoe cc you have is earthshaker and that’s tied to the horrible adrenaline system we have huzzah!!!
Are you playing a game called guildwars 2?
while the warrior can be a wall of life/armour
no
You run a warrior with a pin in wvw because you can run gs/sword/warhorn for getting around the map as fast as possible.
Guess I was wrong. I personally don’t like hammers, which is why I stick to Greatsword. But I never really saw the Hammer in any need for a change. But again, I don’t play it, so it could just be ignorance on my part.
mind blown
good lord lol 4 banners huh?
I’ve tried the longbow earth sigil high crit build in wvw even stacking condi duration and it doesn’t work very well. Too unreliable. And dual swords in a condi build suffers from warrioritis just like everything else when we don’t run cookie cutter no way too sustain ourselves during the course of a fight.
why would you find it funny when it’s true other weapon sets hardly offer any defensive options and the offensive options they offer are limited to ineffective in the current state of the game.
I’m pretty sure I don’t get 4k auto attacks even in pve with 25 might stacks and full vulnerable stacks and in gc gear. Screenshot?
hip hip hooray
I’m replying to both of you that posted those lists.
I just don’t believe you guys this reeks of entitlement.
Stealth can never be balanced. It takes all strategy and planning and throws it out the window and it turns things from who can execute better and make the best play to who can gib the hardest in the shortest amount of time(it’s terrible gameplay). Especially in this game it is extremely hard to punish and only a select few classes have that capability. It dumbs down gameplay you have little to no downside to wearing a full glass cannon suit because you escape the negative of being focused down by stealth being so forgiving.
The absolute best spvp matches I have seen so far are the ones that don’t include thieves and warriors(best meaning the ones that come down to the wire and there is great back and forth). I bet they would be even better if there was no mesmer.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not a fan of the bunker meta either and would like to see a trend towards more balanced builds.
I want to believe you did this with good intentions but I have a hard time with that.
No offense but stealth will never be balanced EVER it’s straight up gaming welfare. It’s a money grab for companies that put it into games. This thread is so funny because the first 2 classes that have their pity lists posted are thieves and mesmers the 2 classes that have very strong builds that can capitalize on stealth.
And if balance was actually taken seriously in this game thieves would of never received the larcenous strike boon stealing buff.
I get it that thieves are sort of weak in spvp but they still have a place.
did you mean highest base health or highest base damage?
please not another buggy bull’s charge dear god no
It just serves to fuel the argument of the entitlement gamer more and more and it’s not helpful at all. Why do classes get nerfed because there is something wrong with it. Do the changes fix that sometimes no but it’s done anyways to try to fix what’s wrong.
because then if we got something that would make us competitive then we would be infringing on other ppls rights to kill us easily and ruin the fun they’re having.
I liked the other thread better. I really don’t see how this is in anyway helpful other than trying to tempt anet into giving thieves more things they shouldn’t have. It’s kind of like a pity us thread and it’s pathetic.
I wonder what Anet wants warriors to be?
would we be uncatchable like thieves or mesmers?
I reread your post again because you said I didn’t read it and I believe you but I’m having some trouble where is the izerker button on the rifle again?
I’m trying to be positive and compliment your posts as much as I can to get good changes for this game. Mesmer’s are certainly not in a good place from the discussion we’ve been having and need a lot of love.
yeah rifle is so op. Whenever I go into spvp or wvw all I see is rifle warriors one shotting people left and right it’s ridiculous Arenanet NERF warriors immediately!!!
Dude I was agreeing with everything you said bro
Absolutely agree when your fighting a warrior the warrior never has to aim the whirlwind attack and have proper positioning to get the most out of it. And lets not forget how during the cooldown of the warrior’s whirlwind attack the warrior still gets multiple whirlwind attacks going off!!! This is so absurd BUFF Mesmer’s now Arenanet!!!
From the banner thread I have been thinking maybe not an elite but a heal skill shout that when activated shouts “I’M BANNER MAN!!!” but instead of healing it just drops all your banners at the same time.
I don’t get angry when I get ganked or lose a duel. I know from reading the thief forums that is how the game is intended to be played and the developers designed it that way.
Hi everybody just popping in to say “Hi” in a soon to be legendary thread!!!
It’s not a guaranteed hit and crit every time?!!! That’s totally outrageous boy you Mesmer’s sure have it rough!!! Arenanet buff Mesmer’s NOW!!!
Why did the other thread get deleted? This game man lol
Thieves get killed in this game??? Man those players must be really bad.
