Guild Wars 2

saurus.8290:

all these ppl that say its easy to evade HB

you cant evade it if you play against good warrior

he will use Throw Bolas (cant break stun from that)
come close to you use his Signet of Rage (OP skill 30 sec buff with a 60 sec rechare thats way too low for elite skill) frenzy and put you down in 1 sec with HB

in case throw bolas fail he can bull charge you

Then he’s not using 5 Signet crit build and he’s not going to hit you for 90% of your health. Sure that single skill hurts for being one cooldown, but after that all he’s got left is auto-attack, or a weapon switch, in which case that Warrior is playing at a considerably higher skill level than most other Greatsword Warriors and then you’re just left complaining about being outplayed.

Psy.6153:

5 signet warrs have basically 100% crit chance
kill shotting for 14k, gg

broken class

Please. 5 Signet build barely has 50% Crit at level 50 and it goes down from there, unless they gear strictly for Precision, which makes them a wet noodle wrapped in tissue paper with a single dangerous ability, hundreds of ways to avoid it, and the ability to do absolutely nothing else.

Warriors are not a broken class and 5 Signet GS Warriors certainly don’t prove they are.

Screw the 5 Signet build. Its worthless above 50. In the 50+ zones you get more packs, bigger aggro radii, more knockdowns, cripples, stuns, etc. that the 5 Signet build isn’t equipped to deal with. You get interrupted or your HB or you overpull and you’re going to take a beating.

My build at 55:

I can easily deal with 5 mobs with a Dual Axe build that chooses utility over damage. Granted, I rely pretty heavily on my Asura racial abilities. Pain Inverter is fantastic and Radiation Field makes you an AoE monster, provided you don’t get killed in the first 3 seconds (but that’s what Endure Pain is for).

The healing Signet is officially worthless. Regeneration is a nice passive if you’re level 20, but when things start to matter, that tiny little heal won’t help you. Healing Surge is infinitely better. You’re never going to need to heal so early in a fight that you won’t have a decent amount of Adrenaline build up and once you learn the timing, you’ll know when to burn Adrenaline and when to save it for a big deal (and since Eviscerate isn’t all that great, you’ll more often than not being saving it).

Signet or Rage is your best Elite skill for PvE leveling if only for the run speed boost. The only other Signet really worth thinking about is Stamina because it cures all conditions. It sucks when you’ve just finished killed a bunch of mobs, your heal is on cooldown, and you slowly bleed to death. But if you play it right and maybe where a piece or two of Vitality gear, you shouldn’t end up that close to death that often.

And if you want to solo Veterans all day long, switch to Rifle, swap in Throw Bolas and Fear Me and you’re good to go.
