Jeknar.6184:

Why you failing at defense anyway?

I can solo a zerg. But zerg +1 and its too many to handle!

Im not saying i care/want the karma, obviously if i did i would go to eotm and ride the ktrain to lootsville yo. But i just noticed now that i didnt get any. I swear just the other night i did get some karma in the event status for failure.

But i could be mistaken, i dont close those event windows untill i die and have to wp to spawn, and that takes a while.

was it not reduced amount of karma for failing defense event? now it is 0?

anyone confirm?

It seems buggy. Sometimes ill hit for 8-12k on a final thrust on a target under 50% with no adrenaline and other times i’ll hit for 2-3k with full adrenaline. Yes these are the larger white crit numbers

/shrug

Fearing ppl off the bridge in hills beteeen north outter and north inner gates while they are rezing downed allies.

another time i was able to knock two ppl off the cliffs by the hills vista and then followed them down, they survived and were waiting for regen, one emoted a laugh and then i landed on top of them with death from above knocking them down a second cliff, rinse repeat two more times till im standing on the ground below hills and they are dead just from falling damage and death from above knockbacks.

I know devon made a comment on the change, but i know prior to this comment, one was made by developers about how they saw this ability to constantly banner rez a lord as an interesting side effect and made the battles more interesting. This was maybe right before season 1 or just after season 1.

Either way i dont care. It does however get annoying after the 5th+ time when you are 1 tick away from capping… for the 5th time. Lol

I like the tourneys. Adds some competition. Funny, how some servers only show up for the season, and then they go back into hibernation post season.

You must be new to guild wars 2 wvw

Cygnus.6903:

thanks for the explanation. However, I was aiming more towards your use of Celestial over Killahmaynes zerk. One could go Zerk/cavalier for instance, have more toughness, power and crit chance whilst forgoing condition damage (of which you don’t really have a lot either) and instead focus on might to increase condition damage.

I am asking because I firmly believe vitality to be a wasted stat on a warrior other then zerging. Also, healing power is very lackluster for healing signet and adrenal health. We are talking maybe a 600hp difference every 30 seconds.

Also, I am not implying in any way that your build is inferior, just openly trying to discuss the two versions.

Did some switching around and whatnot and the best variance i come up with is about a 500 power to a 5,000 hit point exchange.

I avoid zerging unless im ktraining in eotm or there are no good fights while roaming. But for me, i like to have that extra vitality over the damage. If im not hitting my target then the extra power isnt doing me very much good. But if im being kited or get some enemies or agro pve trash while fighting. The extra hp helps.

While this is not supposed to be a condition build, the increased condition damage sometimes serves as a feint and sometimes throws them off. A lot of wars/thieves/guards think that because they start taking some condition damage that they can quickly overpower me in a straight melee. Then they start taking some pretty heavy damage and panic. That gives me an advantage in those situations.

it also activates on the FIRST CC effect that you get hit with. so if you get hit with a knockback or knockdown, then its going to trigger, if when the 8 seconds duration is up when you get hit with fear, you are going to be cc’d with fear, because your trait chooses when to fire, not you, like if you would slot it in a utility instead.

Cygnus.6903:

Jeez let the guy play how he wants. He’s not doing too shabby.

I do agree with the cooldown timer, it just makes using skills right off the timer more doable. But hey.

About the build (which is what this topic should be about, no?), what does it do better then, say, killahmayne’s GS/Longbow build?

The dote variance, to me, is not reliable. I prefer to know that i am almost constantly doing 15% more damage. You have no way of knowing wether or not an enemy will run boons or how many he or she will have/maintain if they run less than 5, you are not doing optimum. If they do run more than 5 boons, the factor for your damage is now dependant on how well and if they maintain said boons. AA providing the aditional 10% power over further increases your damage.

Adept – Trait I – Mighty Defenses – You gain might when you block an attack.

great if you are hitting the blocker, but not great if you are being kited with a melee weapon.

Armored Attack wins in this scenario.

Adept – Trait II – Thrill of the Kill – Gain extra adrenaline on a kill.

waste.

Adept – Trait III – Warrior’s Sprint – Run faster while wielding melee weapons.
If you are using your ranged weapon, you will not run faster, if you decide not to use the traveler runes with this build.

if you do not use travelers or ranged weapons, then slotting this trait is ok, but you are still doing 10% less damage than having AA traited.

Armored Attack wins in this scenario.

Adept – Trait IV – Inspiring Shouts – Gain adrenaline when using a shout.
you are not using shouts and adrenaline is easy to come by

Armored Attack wins in this scenario.

Adept – Trait VI – Signet Mastery – Signets recharge faster.
There are only 2 signets in this build, you could modify it for a 3rd if you do not feel you need endure pain, but even if you swapped in signet of might for the 180 power, 10% of 2k+ is already ~200. so in those moments you are becoming unblockable and losing 180 power, you would still have ~200 power with Armored Attack.

Armored Attack wins in this scenario.

Master – Trait VII – Sweet Revenge – Vengeance has an increased chance to rally.
if you are betting on yourself dying… and not being stomped…. then… ok…

Armored Attack wins in this scenario.

Master – Trait VIII – Destruction of the Empowered – Deal bonus damage per boon on your target.

see above.

Armored Attack wins in this scenario.

Master – Trait IX – Sharpened Axes – Critical hits with axes grant extra adrenaline. Reduces recharge on axe skills.

since my build is predicated on being able to run any weapon you want. you could do this if you run axe. however, if you are running melee weapons and get kited, what are you hitting with?

Armored Attack wins in this scenario.

Master – Trait X – Mobile Strikes – Movement skills break immobilize
I use LB about 75% of the time with GS, sometimes i switch to S/S (but that is besides the point) – Cleansing Ire clears my immobility when/if i need it to be cleared be it thru Flurry or more likely through the use of Combustive Shot.

Armored Attack wins in this scenario.

~~~

This is just the way i view it, Im not saying my build is the 100% standard it should be run as. I HOPE you can modify it if you think there is a better way. and if you find a better way, please let me know. but again these are just the reasons i choose to run Armored attack over having a 2nd trait in discipline or lose fast hands and gain a final slot for defense line.

LuXx.9354:

I watched videos.

Have one question. Why sigil of perceptions ? You have a best dps with bloodlust.

A good build, in fact. Same dps than a knight/hoelbrak, in fact. I’m a little bit surprised, but it’s sound viable.

I debated about this for a long time back and forth between bloodlust and perception. Ultimately, i prefer the reliability of higher chance to proc sigil of blood for the increased survivability.

in most of the mmo’s before gw2 (DAoC, GW1, WoW, WAR, Aion) i used to key bind everything, its only now that i click, most likely because i use the mouse a lot because of panning and fast cast ground targeting.

Eiland.1405:

Constructive:
1. SPVP vid at 2:07 you falling off the treb tower because of fear because you couldn’t click ‘blance stance’ fast enough… – key bind
2. check box ‘show skill cooldown’ – I don’t know a single pvper who plays w/o it
3. sry but that armor skin is just ugly ( constructive? use wardrobe)

I took a look at the footage again. After reviewing what you point out, balanced stance doesnt become active for use until 2:09. So it was mosy likely not from lack of “slow clicking”, it simply was not avaiable to use.

In conjunction with your 1st point. Yes some people like to use the cooldown timers. I tried using them during release; for me, personally, it is just a distraction. That is why I do not care to use them.

I liked the armor skins :p it is funny that you mention it though because i changed the legs back to phalanx from koda just the day before.

I will agree with you that clicking my utilities is slower then pushing a key bind. However, after having played for the better part of two years, i have been relaxing more in my “heat of the moment” combat. And actually looking at the the flow of battle: the # of opponent(s) im facing, wether or not i have additional incoming foes or allies. Will i need to start kiting and/or what is my best possible escape route? also watching how the enemy plays instead of simply reacting to thier movements.

Eshady.9146:

Reward Time: I received 500 WvW Claim tickets, Swig of World Experience, WvW items etc. Our server is Henge of Denravi, we are ranked 7th overall and 1st in our league. We came in first every week of the Tournament. I finished the 2014 Meta fast and played nearly everyday. No Dolyak Finisher… sigh* Why?

Because all your badwagoners are your reward. You got a lot of Darkhaven’s wvw population. Which was most of our primetime coverage.

Colly.4073:

LOL,

I hope they lock transfers out to be honest, Those that made their beds should be made to lie in it.

Agreed!

A lot of the strictly wvw players do not want to see a season 3. We did not want to see a season 2 for that matter after what we saw with season 1

You have to read between the lines. I think it’s “stop clicking your skills”.

I know what he is saying. I also asked for constructive criticism.

as you can see about 10k less hp lol, but power tough crit and ferocity are similar

EvilSardine.9635:

I think it’s funny that people complain about warriors being “OP” when a guardian can have higher DPS and more sustain.

A warrior can not beat a DPS oriented guardian in a duel no matter what build he uses. The blocks, blinds, damage, and sustain they have is absurd. They can basically scepter number 1 you to death if they wanted.

Sypher.6708:

I run a Hammer & Axe//WH build in WvW. I used to run sigil of fire and battle on the hammer and strength and energy on the Axe & WH. After the stealth nerf to stacking sigils is it better to drop say fire and run a stacking sigil? It seems like the stacks would compliment both weapons, but sigil of fire pretty darn good. I can’t tell if sigil of fire helps build adrenaline faster or if I’m just over thinking thinks. I’d appreciate any insight on what’s working best for other warriors.

Without knowing more information about your build (traits/utilities) and what your crit chance % is. We cannot provide an accurate answer for you.

But if i had to make a suggestion, yes would agree that you could drop sigil of fire for whatever stacking sigil you arr wanting to run. Im assuming you are trying to generate as much might as possible. So switching a might sigil would be less beneficial.

pupi.2465:

I see, thank you Assassin X, i have tested Celestial in Spvp, gonna craft it to test on wvw.

In spvp i use berserk amulet and traveler runes. I did not feel that celestial was as strong in spvp compared to berserk

I’d say the frequent condition application is a form of control. The constant bleeds, cripples and immobilizes will pressure most non-warriors to cleanse sooner rather than later. I’d also say any sort of CC weapon in WvW isn’t as useful outside a zerg, since everybody (who can manage) is packing stunbreakers, blocks or stability. Also, hammer and mace are slower than molasses rolling uphill.

conditions are more of constant pressure rather than control

Interesting, Celestial on everything, is it really better than Zerker/Knight or Soldier for Power Build?

Also, you sure that build is updated? in the video your bow hits Sigil of Fire, and in the link build its showing Accuracy and Perception.

the build is up to date, i switched my bow over recently to sigil of blood, but it did have fire sigil on it during those videos. but gs and sword have sigils of blood.

the sigils are negligent, you can use whatever you like the best. Life stealing only triggers IF you have less than 100% hp. if you crit with life stealing at 100% hp it does nothing.

I see, and about the Celestial in gear? you think its better than Zerk, Soldier and Knight ?

I have found that for my play style and what i wanted to acheive with my warrior is that celestial works best for me. I used max/min before celestial was out. With knights armor and zerk/precision knights/cavalier. I vould get you that version whem i get home if you would like (currently at work).

The difference is the vitality only since none of those provide it as a stat.

But for more information on my build see this thread:

Should have included this earlier, but forgot! Build Breakdown and why I chose to run what I do.

Trait Breakdown

Strength – 6 points

The main focus of my build is to deal a substantial amount of damage in a short amount of time.

Trait I – Death from Above

Why do I use this trait? If you are a regular to WvW, you know that there are many times that you have the upper hand, and suddenly, you may get knocked off of a ledge or cliff. This helps with the environmental factor, as well as providing a blast finisher that I often use after dropping a Combustive Shot fire field in conjunction with Arcing Arrow, from higher ground.

In the same way, this trait provides the damage reduction for falling damage, and helps keep me alive for those times I jump off a ledge to escape, or more likely pursue a fleeing target. In most cases, I am following someone off a ledge or I am trying to get to a camp or other objective fast without worrying about dying from falling.

Trait IX – Slashing Power

This is a staple trait for any Greatsword build. Plain and simple, damage is damage! The more of it I do, the more the target is dead! I prefer the Greatsword in terms of power and mobility.

Trait XI – Berserker’s Power

15% damage increase, on top of the 10% from Slashing Power. 25% increased damage. At almost all times. Obviously not while clearing conditions because I’m burning adrenaline to remove them. And the Adrenal Health aspect of keeping full adrenaline is also of importance.

Defense – 5 points

Any warrior worth their weight in WvW knows that Traits II – Dogged March and IX – Cleansing Ire are standard for survivability. No need to go into detail here.

Minor trait – Armored Attack

After the stat increase from 7% to 10% a few patches ago, this allows you to increase your damage once more.

why stop at 5 pts? why not 6?

1) Fast hands is a crutch that must be utilized! As good a this minor trait is, it is hard not to take it. for a while i did not use it and got accustomed to not using it, but when i finally switched back, it was hard to not-not use. :[

2) Last Stand is too unpredictable and, slotting Balanced stance and using it when you actually need it to avoid a spike rather than break a 1 second stun and not have it and eat a spike in the face, is pretty self explanatory. Also it is nice to not be stopped when trying to stomp/spike/NBA JAMS! someone who is downed!

3) While retaliation is nice, fast hands is better!

4) the new one? waste of data, could have been used to fix rush pathing!

why do i not stop at 4 pts with Cleansing Ire? 10% power is a lot of damage. if you stop there and add say, signet mastery or warrior’s sprint you end up losing a lot of the power from the build and dont really gain anything in return since discipline’s effective bonuses in crit damage and burst damage were nerfed a long long long long time ago.

Discipline – 3 points

Trait V – Vigorous Focus

Since this build utilizes Stances as my utility options, this trait gives you the extra layer of defense through endurance regeneration of Vigor. Having the extra dodges in a fight are life saving. Use them wisely. Or not! You have a ton of endurance regeneration almost 21 seconds of endurance regeneration available when you need it! seriously tho, use them wisely! lol

Utilities

Balance Stance – Because stun breakers and stability are non-negotiable.
Endure pain – for those Oh kitten moments!
Berserker’s Stance – This is the warrior’s gold. Anyone who does not use this in wvw, is honestly hindering themselves. This is your instant shot of Adrenaline. Keeps your adrenal health up and going and your damage up.

Elite

For roaming you can run Signet of Rage for the extra fury that you really do not need. But who doesn’t want to crit more?

In Group, you should always run Warbanner to get your group members up fast from downed state. There is no I in team. Or you can be selfish and keep running Signet of Rage! LoL.

Why do I use Traveler Runes?

Being slow is terrible. Nothing is worse than losing your target who might be kiting, and suddenly they just begin fleeing instead of just kiting! The bonuses it provides as well as the much needed 25% improved movement speed free you up in the Discipline line to take Vigorous Focus, instead of taking Warrior’s spirit and running slow while using longbow.

Balanced Build in WvW

1:28 into the video, i use GS & S/S.

what you have to understand with final thrust, is that is 1) slow and 2) hard to hit with because it is slow! you will see me hit for just under 5k with it on the warrior im fighting. I have hit upwards of 13k on some final thrusts on med armor/ light armor.

This build, My Balanced build, in its most current version, does not require Food.

you dont use food? why not its such an advantage! you are a fool to not use food!
I didn’t say that. read that sentence again.
This build, My Balanced build, in its most current version, does not require Food.

Now that you have re-read the sentence, what does it say? Thats right, it does not require food, but you can still use food. An interesting thing i stumbled upon while theory crafting. Utilizing this build allows the user to consume ANY, that is correct ANY FOOD HE/SHE DESIRES TO USE!

this makes for a most advantageous situation, if you are quick enough to realize a build the enemy uses, and switch foods to suit the needs of the battle. some builds these days rely on the use of food, not using it puts the user at a disadvantage and could subsequently make/break the build.

not a problem for the balanced build! My preference is Life Stealing food and Sharpening stones, which adds power and an additional layer of sustainability, on top of healing signet and adrenaline, along with Sigils of Blood on my weapons.

facing a condition pressure build? switch to lemongrass and wipe away those tears (along with the conditions).

feel like you need to do more condition damage? switch food!
need more crit damage or power? switch food!

If it seems like I am rambling, it is to make a point: You do not necessarily need consumables to be competitive.

Another nice thing about this build, which you will see when you watch the duel i have with the guardian, is that this build is viable with ANY weapon set. Though Rifle is the weakest, your damage and survivability does not suffer as it would if you were running say the META HAMMBOW and switched to rifle for whatever reason.

Now that a little background has been given; I present to you my “Balanced” Warrior build. I enjoy playing this build, and some of you might and some might not.

Balanced Build in WvW
WvW Dueling- Condition/Burst Guardian
sPvP
Balanced Build in sPvP

Hope you enjoy! Feedback is encouraged with constructive criticism!

I’ve been playing warrior since beta. I have been using this build and perfecting it with my play style for the better part 2013 (i still have a long way to go before i would even consider myself having mastered my build, im very well experienced with it, but i have not mastered it). with the last 6 or so odd (probably more) patches, my build has been untouched in ways of nerf/buff by skill balances/changes.

I spend most of my time in WvW, that is the the basis of theory crafting starts for this build. Having played DAoC since its release, i have come to understand the nature of 1v1s through zerg warfare. Nothing has changed since the initial release of DAoC’s revolutionary RvR system to the inception of GW2’s WvW. What you need to understand, is how to deal optimum damage while maintaining maximum survivability. It doesnt matter how many foes there are, the principal is the same, kill them before you die. now, how many variables can effect the outcome of the battle, is another story…

In the beginning, I worked with knights gear and a max/min effort to create the final build you see today. The problem I ran into, as most folks do when trying to theory craft, was having to decide what 3 primary stats i wanted to focus on. This was the problem. In order to achieve an optimum stat balance, there were Five stats that I needed covered. Offense, consisting of Power, Precision and Ferocity; and Defense, consisting of Armor (Toughness + Base AF) and Vitality.

Ideally, one would want 3k in every stat. Balancing 5 stats (power, precision, toughness, vitality and ferocity) how was i supposed to do that? it was literally impossible!

Then came Celestial gear. At first, even I was skeptical, but as theorizing went on, Celestial kept popping back up in my thoughts. Upon the initial release of the celestial gear, obtaining a full set of both armor AND trinkets did not prove to be effective in the pursuit of 5 stat balance, however, and this led me back to max/min with trinkets. and for a while, it worked.

With the last few patches bringing a bonus to stats across the board to all armor sets due to the ferocity change, Celestial Gear became even better. Now, I could actually achieve the stat point distribution that i hoped for. Not only did this provide the stats i wanted, it also allowed for the increase of my condition damage and healing power giving it some what of a hybrid effect.

TL:DR!

Working as intended. I think ive gotten ~38k while messing around with builds.

I think it is safe to say, for the majority of purely wvw players, who did noy want to see a season 2, also wish to never see a season 3. So prrtty much end of discussion on the season aspect. Things they can learn though from mistakes? The list is innumerable…

nice vid fox. very nice sustainability as full zerk, seems as though you have mastered your limits on full zerk! how long ago was the footage shot tho, flame and frost 100% complete o.o?

Good luck.

I have lol. No response yet.

ive used 10 primers so far, which should total in an over all duration of 240 hrs. i have maybe gotten 50 hours of actual food duration upkeep.

most of the time, it stops working after any patch or update or hotfix.

it feels like i have been lied to by anet, “here, buy these 24 hr duration potions … (that may or may not last the full duration of the stated times).”

normally i wouldnt be upset by this, but after putting in gems/gold into obtaining these items, and having them not work as advertised, i feel that i need to either be refunded the purchase price of the gems/gold used if the primers arent fixed and restore the amount ive paid for and not gotten full durations, or just refund the gems/gold.

Call me crazy, but I do believe some info about the next update, even if it’s just “hey, we’ll give you a potato in 4 weeks” would calm down the people impatience… such is the gw2 community hunger.

While we’d love to give you a time and date of when we’re sending out the potato, remember that during the development process we may discover that a baked potato would be even better. So instead of getting the potato of your dreams you end up with something completely unexpected.

It often happens that a mashed potato with gravy is even better still, unfortunately gravy requires more dev time. So we end up shipping a mashed potato without gravy to meet our promise of ship time or we push back the time and date of when we are shipping again and again. You get your mashed potato with gravy but it is delivered much later than it was expected.

Worst of all that is when we realize that potatoes are way too mainstream and that yams are where it’s at now. And I think we all know how reactions seem to go when we ship yams instead of potatoes.

So in a lot of cases the best we can do is tell you that we are still in the kitchen cooking things up, we’re reading your feedback, and that we’re excited to get the meal out to you soon™.

“What’s ‘Taters,’ Precious?!?” with Re-Recorded a…: http://youtu.be/pgoQ5UgCPLo

Boon strip, block, blind, cc, or dodge. Those are the options.

Testudo Formation – Shield offhand burst. You become immobilized for 5 seconds. You become immune to all sources of direct damage for 3 seconds. (can still be effected by conditions). You gain 1 second of retaliation for every attack you block (max 5).

Sonic boom – warhorn offhand burst. Blast a sonic boom from your warhorn to foes around you (max 5). Foes nearby suffer from confusion, daze, torment and bleeding and lose all endurance. Foes farther away (10-600) suffer from confusion torment and bleed and lose 50% endurance. Foes farther (600-800) suffer from bleeding (from the ears). (no endurence loss).

Zerk stance ?lbF1 ?pindown ?AA ? rush ? 100blades ?whirlwind ? bladetrail.

They are usually dead before or after 100blades.

And what if they know how to dodge?

Good joke.

None of these suggestions are viable. What we need is to have Anet double the CPU and RAM power of the servers, thus being able to handle more players per map. I’m tired of 80 man BL caps. We need at least 150 players per side.

I agree. I miss DAoC epic 200v200v200 battles.

Elementalist/Mesmer whatever else. I duno. Gotta go back to work lol

Obviously the other professions need counters.

Engi/necro/guardian – pressure plate trap/ mark of vertigo/ symbol of detonation

Cost 15 supply. Duration 10 mins reusable 10-15 mins. Only one per character (function similar to supply/stealth traps).

The levers would need yo be opposing server operation only otherwise you could have griefers or cross server xfers opening the gates all willy nilly like. Give theif, warrior and maybe ranger the abilities to climb outter walls only at 1-2 restricted access points. Add a second gate to the tower lord room and add another gate on the keep lord rooms. Garisons only outter wall can be climbed. Make the ability to climb cost 15 supply.

Lets call the ability climbing spikes:
Use 15 supply to fashion climbing spikes that allow you to climb the outter most wall of a fortification. The spikes last for 5 seconds. If you are not on solid ground you take falling dmg based on the height you fall from.

You can still be knocked off the climbing wall spot or crippled or feared or immobilized or chilled or interrupted while fashioning the climbing spikes animation.

High risk. Moderate reward.

That will make things more interesting.

To learn wvw as a new player i suggest going to eternal battleground. It is where most pugs go to wvw. Depending on the skill of the commander you follow there will dictate wether or not you experience map hopping. Borderlands are a little more high pressure than EB, but it can be a place to learn small man skirmishing and guild operations.

I forgot to add this: All is Vain!
