With regards to axe: GS already does the might thing, so maybe branch out in a different direction instead.
Strength Grandmaster trait: Axe Mastery
When you apply fury to yourself while wielding an axe, copy it to nearby allies (radius 600). Gain ferocity for each axe you are wielding. Reduce recharge on axe skills.

And maybe make Throw Axe grant yourself fury. Or make it so that you can pick up your axe after throwing it, gaining fury. Or something like that, basically just a main-hand axe source of fury.

A different approach:
Apply X seconds of fury to nearby allies (radius 600) when execution a Whirl finishers while wielding an axe. Gain ferocity for each axe you are wielding. Reduce recharge on axe skills.

Basically, GS has might, axe can do fury.

Though strength’s trait selection for an axe build is pretty bad. Adept and Master have very mediocre options, and the Grandmaster competes against Berserker’s Power.

yeaaa but fury is nothing speciial, especially aoe fury. Tempest and Rev for example can pump out 40+ seconds of fury, aoe, like its nothing. Fury on axe would be cute, but theres no way it would change your opinion on it.

It needs to generate might, or do more damage than GS but a good amount.

If it doesnt get either one of those, then it needs boon strip.

Also I think mace could remove boons

Guardian weapons make me sad :<

Our weapons are fine. Longbow should out damage a mace, since the mace is largely a defensive weapon (although it still outputs respectable damage). The sword is a fine weapon that specializes in mobility, it just falls short in damage because it doesn’t have a nice damage pairing offhand to fill in its weaknesses. If torch was rebuilt to provide a strong DPS increase in the off hand slot then both mace and sword would see a lot more play.

…what…

Torch and Focus are really nice strong DPS offhands (in PvE) so what the hell are you talking about? xd

Also sword doesn’t really provide that great mobility. If it would be warrior sword we’re talking about which is basicly a utility weapon maybe I would agree with you but guard sword utility is tiny, especially in PvE where you don’t use the meh projectile defense or the port at all, apart from skips.

condi berserker here!

just chiming in to let you know that warrior sword is no longer a “utility weapon” as, paired with torch and in viper/sin gear, (pve) I am auto attacking for 900-2000, 1000-4000 bleeds and 5-12k burning per second.

The sword shall rise!!!!

I said this earlier in another post

I fully expect AA, Glint heal, and shield 5 to get nerfed.

other than that I see buffs across the board coming, especially mallyx

Why? None of them all that without Shiro?

Yall do understand that right? None of those skills are all that strong without Shiro. I dont use Shiro in SPvP, so i know. Demon and Assassin are best non glint Legends.. dwarf takes some mastery. It need buff. Tablet need to be upgraded to IpadPro.
Glint not even all that without Shiro damage combo.

only thing that would get touched on shiro is the CD on the elite and the 9 using more energy. I dont… think either would happen, though the more I think about it, that is it possible…

See, I personally HATE the nerf bat (Former ele main) and it drives me nuts to the point that I cannot play a class if I think the bat may be cometh. im sticking with my underpowered zerker and perfectly balanced reaper for now because ill pull my hair out if they touch rev while im playing it.

For me the warrior is still easier and more rewarding with less risk in PvE, that 100b DPS and as long as both have 25 stacks of might Rev DPS is still not the highest. Hell if I wanted to speedclear Dungoens for the fastest time ever, Revenant would not be a class I would use

Rev auto attack is stronger than anything a dps warrior can dish out.

Lol, we won’t get nerfed, that much is obvious, sadly we are not the most OP and unable to counter a rev? Pretty much every class can counter a rev easily, thing is we punish and excel on the mistakes of people, not anywhere else really.

Condi's A Breath Of Fresh Air

All I’ve done since launch is play power revenant after dropping the warrior at the start of expo. Back to warrior, picked up full exotic viper gear with the required smaller items and wow oh wow. It may be a little squishy at times but this playstyle is right up my alley! I’m talking about the berserker condi build ofcourse.

Kinda thought when I played my revenant that nothing could be anymore fun or stronger. I’ve only my required help for a very few champions so far on this warrior. solod majority like arrowhead for example. Can imagine how this reacts with ascended gear as can currently get 11-12k burning ticks.

Also in spvp it works great, just have to be careful and pick fights, spec accordingly at start of the game also. I went 9 wins to 1 loss today. Wvw is well. It’s wvw. Solo veterans with ease, even took our a veteran, thief and mesmer at the same time.

Obviously this isn’t op/meta but it atleast makes warrior enjoyable again for myself.

Word for word I feel the same way. I hated berserker and dropped war for rev, and in also fell in love with dh. Now I loooooooove condi war

Power pve scrapper

in Engineer

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

Power scrapper is extremly strong in pve. People overestimate condi engi at this point due DnT dps sheets that say “condi is 22k, power is 20k dps”. Yet some things have changed since then.


Open World and Dungeons
In open world and dungeons, everything that is downscaled, the power scrapper is better than the condi engi, since viper means expertice and that gets downscaled too compared to sinister. Also the new maps barely have mobs that stand still in napalm or fire bombs, especially chak just run away from aoes.


Fractals
In fractals right now condi engi is probably superior past 50ties. Low level the power scrapper is much better due low toughness. At 50~ the condi will have slightly better damage in long fights, but against all the trash the power scrapper is better. For skips etc, sneak gyro, for utility all the new reflection stuff and aoe etc – overall the scrapper with power is a much more powerful ally in fotm than a pure dps 0 utility condi engi. After december, condi engi is probably dead for fotm.


Raids
In raids the bosses have LOW toughness wich favours the power professions. All the dps calculations are against MEDIUM toughness enemies. The condi engis are rare, and needed for VG, but after the 3 condi engis, every additional engi should be a power scrapper due to superior dps, cc, break bar destruction and utility in general.

Btw condi engi at VG? No thank you. The condi scrapper with traits 112 and medic gyro instead of HT is superior in terms of mobility due super speed, protection in damage phases where you don’t want to interrupt or green fields in danger zones and more heal for scrapper fellows at red wenn you want to save cc but seekers are near.


The old condi engi, has barely a place in the game right now. Yet people have to realize it first. It’s a mass of sheeps out there who encourage themselves with what they are doing, but barely one of them looks beyond the horizon and tries to kill their darlings to improve.

I fully expect AA, Glint heal, and shield 5 to get nerfed.

other than that I see buffs across the board coming, especially mallyx

Duration of Glint heal was already reduced by 25%. Besides, if you mean for pvp it is a learn to play issue.

Shield 5 already had a cd increase of 5 seconds.

Reducing damage on the AA would require reworking the entire profession since most of the damage comes from AA by design.

I agree with everything you said, but these are the changes I believe will happen regardless. I see sword aa dropping by 5 to 7 percent tbh. The rest, I know it’s been touched, but so has drakes breath… for years.

As for roy saying that, I have no idea. I hope not but I really dont

axe mace shield hammer

in Warrior

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

these suckers need a buff, especially with berserker out now.

Mace is somewhat good, both offhand and mh, but it has no place to go. Its a slow power weapon that can condi? Mace needs a big change; make it condi full blown. Let it confuse on AA or something, anything, as of right now its just not being used in any game mode.

Axe is my baby and I love it dearly, but it directly competes with GS and THAT sucks. This is probably the only high dps weapon that still doesnt get love, and its all because of phalanx strength. PS is just so good, I WISH axe had something similar. PLZ give axe some reason to exist. It has lovely AA damage, but with the birth of rev, it shows us how a true AA should be. also axe 3 has NOTHING on rev axe 4, even they work the same (to an extent).

speaking of axe 4, off hand axe has been terrible forever. Please make axe 5 stack might per hit or something, so axe axe can be a viable replacement for GS, or anything… just anything.

Shield looks cool and isnt cool. The block is nice, and the 4 is meh, ive seen it work well in conjunction with axe, but overall it needs a buff. The cooldowns it got were VERY nice, but it needs something more. Again, compared to Rev (sounds familiar) our shield is super meh. I like how we are mobile during shield 5 but we should get a bonus, or a buff when attacks are blocked. Maybe a stacking dps buff per blocked hit like other classes get from attacking.. I think… yep, what do you know? Rev has that! Or, make it so blocking reduces CD on our adrenaline bar/berserker… anything!

lastly, hammer sucks guys. This big, massive, cool wielded weapon does no damage. its a control weapon, a decent one at that, but it hits like my grandmothers church group. Theres no reason for a RANGED hammer to do MASSIVE amounts of more damage… isnt that such a dumb idea… ranged hammer, who would have that? Oh yea.. Rev….

btw, this is in no way meant to hate on Rev, I think Rev being made so recently compared to the other classes obviously, had a lot of its weapon skills looked at and adjusted to how the game ACTUALLY works vs when the other classes were made, and the skills were adjusted to HOW THEY THOUGHT the game would work.

plz buff

I fully expect AA, Glint heal, and shield 5 to get nerfed.

other than that I see buffs across the board coming, especially mallyx

Isn’t malyx one of the most popular legends in PvP now though? Im kind of curious as to how further buffs to it will change things.

My best guess is.
Reduced auto attack damage on sword.
A shift in functionality (not necessarily a damage nerf but some alteration for how it works) for coalescence of ruin.
Certain traits being heavily altered.
QoL changes for Ventari (changes to smooth the use of the tablet).
Improved HP scaling for ventari skills.
Possible nerf to staff 5 (atm it pretty much ignores any stab skill and DESTROYS break bars even on raid bosses)
Buff to sword offhand.
Buff to Mace
And a rework of certain defensive measures to make timing more important. (glint heal and shield 5 for example) (Not necessarily a nerf. But its possible)

Mallyx is only taken because of the heavy CC in pvp right now. Necro, especially, has become such a demon with condi, mallyx is the only resistance (literally) rev has to condi.

I love shield 5 and glint heal, its sad that even people that main rev (like myself these days) can see some kind of change in the future. I think glints heal is fine, it just needs a better graphic to indicate when its going on, and they PROBABLY increase the CD on it. I dunno about shield 5, I dont think its anywhere near op, its just the combo of shield 5, sword 3, shiro 7, glint heal that makes rev nearly impossible to kill.

I put shield on my warrior today and was blown away with how much worse it is

Say you do move the damage to sword 2. how does that make the gameplay anymore engaging/fun, you’re only pressing an extra button, no, the problem with Revenant is that it’s entire kit is braindead and un-engaging, whether it be PvP, PvE or WvW, and the only reason for it is Herald offering the most passive game-play this game has up to date and offering little-risk high-reward gameplay and Shrio with its on-demand quickness. Honestly, the other legends NEED A REASON to be chosen over Shiro/Glint, I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t even be seeing Mallyx at all if it weren’t for the fact that choosing him is essentially like taking Condi-Cleanse and people’s play style leaning towards playing Condi.

Ventari is lackluster and clunky even after the fixes and offers nothing to a team (Yay, I can heal…that’s it) unless you switch legends (Glint no doubt) but if you’re switching, you now have 0 healing. No doubt, boons are useful, but more often than not, people are asking me why I didn’t have my tablet out to heal them even when I was handing out boons like Candy and then even question if you’re actually even needed in a raid. This guy desperately needs some love, heck, making it so that people standing near the tablet get extended boon-duration or a damage reduction. It totally fits with Ventari’s theme of pacifism and would be enough for it to make a difference and make it feel more engaging than what we currently got.

Jalis isn’t tanky, It tries to be while but fails at it, instead of being given tanky skills, we’re given 2 control skills, and 2 tank skills where 1 doesn’t make much of a difference. RotGD Doesn’t last long enough to make a lasting difference in a fight and the hammers are probably the only well designed skill in the entire kit. The Road doesn’t pulse stability fast enough and doesn’t build fast enough either, and even feels so meh to use, I really fill like this skill should be doing more, maybe more damage reduction. and the taunt chain skill is just so laughable, like what? A 2 second taunt? that’s pitiful, has virtually no effect on content that matter (besides breaking bars) and honestly, I don’t find myself using it often unless I’m interrupting an opponent (which always ends up feeling like a waste of energy)

Mallyx had such a great design in that you risked taking a lot of condi’s and potentially dying, but were rewarded for manipulating them back at the opponent, it had to be the most fun and engaging gameplay this profession had to offer and they went and just re-did it to play exactly like every other condi build out there and the reasoning for removing it was so stupid and easily avoidable.

What we’re left with is the two most un-engaging legends

Shiro boils down to pressing Impossible odds and maybe healing for a little extra damage in PvE and in PvP, you only ever use the stunbreak and heal, using IO is a death sentence and only ever used for stomping. Heck, Shiro used to be more fun and engaging when you could just relentlessly chase an opponent (Which was central to Shiro’s theme ) but they just went ahead and added a cooldown (I thought the consensus was Revs have no Cooldowns and only energy, why not just nerf the energy cost?)

And Glint which is literally just to Activate your Facets and auto-attack, maybe activate them for extra dmg (Speed Facet) or stunbreak (Fury Facet). This is universal across all game-modes, and heck, it’s effective, why is something this easy to play so rewarding? I honestly feel bad when fighting on point or being in skirmishes with others cause I know they’re working so much harder than I am for less reward.

Sorry for making this so long but here’s a TL;DR
Other legends need to be more interesting and engaging, at least for what they’re advertised to offer. Glint/Shiro need more risk for the reward they give, as currently, they dominate, being one of the highest DPS builds out there (with the very very VERY hard rotation of pressing 1 /s) and need more interesting play.

This post basically sums up how I feel about the Rev. I do love its design, and I acknowledge its supreme dps and boon stacking, but everything said here I agree with. Also standing near ventari tablet should stack peoples toughness passively for every second they are near it, or their healing power, or both

just curious, where does DH stand?

in Guardian

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

Im actually loving all 3 heavy classes right now, but my main question is about DH.

What is the purpose of DH/Guard right now? Rev power dps is ridiculous. Berserker Condi dps blows us out of the water (I think power as well tbh). Reflects dont seem AS important, atleast, so far. Even with that, Revs projectile destruction is amazing.

I dont even know where we stand in the dps charts, I think we are about the same as reaper.

I hear we make good tanks, but I cant imagine us being any better than Tempest/Druid/Reaper, or maybe we are?

just curious

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

I actually came here to make this exact post. I HATED berserker during BWE2, BWE3, and HoT launch. hate hate hated it. I fell in love with warrior after about 2 years post launch, and for the past year its all ive really played. In comes rev, and I preferred herald to Berserker in every way possible (dont like regular rev… yet, still waiting for condi to not be mega bad).

I made a viper set for my berserker, hated it. Tried torch, hated it. sword? hated it. Power builds, I died (in pve!) nonstop, HATED IT!

for SOME reason last week I gave it one last go and I enjoyed playing power. I think maybe its because war was first class I used in HoT and just wasnt used to things, I dunno, but it clicked. THEN I tried condi warrior and it is now my fav spec by far.

Not that I dislike Herald, but I DO feel the AA/shield 5? glint heal combo is just so powerful in all games modes that something is going to change… and it bothers me that I can see it coming. I understand why people find Rev boring, I personally dont, but I think after a few months I could def see it creeping up on me. If I swapped between more legends I would disagree with you strongly, but, no.

I think (again, pve, pvp is complete diff story) Zerker and Herald are both in amazing spots.

PVP berserker is garbage, and I hate every class in pvp that isnt necro <3

Pve reaper is god mode. It could be overall the best, or atleast able to fill the most roles well out of any profession.

With that said I do miss death shroud. I wish we could use it as an f2 because we need a ranged power attack. Axe is over 3 years old and still not viable.

Dont understand frac lvls anymore

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

Say, for example, you did fractals 1-65 in order. Your personal level is now 65. Then you jump ahead and do fractals 71-75. You just did 5 fractals above your personal level, so your fractal went up by one for each of those, bringing you to 70. You then go back and do fractals 66-70 to finish the achievement. Fractals 66-69 are below your personal fractal level, so your personal scale remains at 70. Scale 70 is right at your personal level, so your personal level increases by 1, bringing you to 71.

Now, you are at personal scale 71 even though you’ve done all fractals up through 75. You still can’t open up 76 until you get your personal level up to 76, so you’ll need to do 5 more fractal scales at or above your personal scale in order to get access to 76.

Basically, your personal scale is not based on which fractals you have done, it simply increases by one every time you do a scale at or higher than it currently is. This means it is entirely possible to do all the fractals up to the maximum of your current fractal tier out of order and still not have your personal level at the maximum within that tier.

I gotcha. makes perfect sense, I kinda knew this, but for some reason I felt like I never did them out of order. ah well, ty

This is truth. In all seriousness, Ele has the worst players imo. I didnt notice it for the longest, but I think its because the same build was the most viable/meta build for so long that… well, it spawned bad players.

This is more than enough proof that the new elite specs are overpowered compared to the base classes. GW2 has truly become pay to win. Arenanet lives in a fantasy land if thinks serious gamers will consider this as eports, based on these statistics.

And also for the love of warriors, please do something for their sustain! Now we have zero warriors in the top. Warriors have access to tons of CC and potential for great burst, but the death of sustain warriors (mainly shoutbow completely out of meta) is a bad thing. If warrior selects all the defensive traits and utilities, it should be tanky as hell, but it isn’t and that is the biggest problem now. Shout base heal is a bit too weak, warhorn is weak at its current state. Warrior lacks a trait which can give it +20% boon duration (inspiring presense could do it). Berserker trait tree lacks defensive options. Forceful greatsword is still too overpowered trait, limiting warrior’s build diversity. Offhand axe is still kinda meh and rifle is one trick pony with berserker/gunflame.

To be honest that’s all true. Once raids go on farm mode people would rather run more of the better classes like revs than use Tempest. The DPS is high but thats about it. All the previous roles Ele has had in vanilla PvE have now been taken by other classes, and they are doing it better. DPS is all they have left and such I could only see Ele being brought if a guild doesn’t have access to a third rev.

on this point,

you only need 10 engis

this will def be meta, MAYBE one warrior for banners

How ’bout boonstripping? Better bring a single chrono as well

when youre right, youre right.

So one warrior, one chrono, 8 engis.

OR we can forget banners and chrono, and keep it meta…

Also, if you check out the forum code of conduct, you actually aren’t supposed to call out Anet or the staff, and you also aren’t supposed to post “I demand an answer” threads, which this is pretty close to. I’d give it a read-over before you post again just to be safe, alright?

yep and yet people sit here and spit venom at devs all day, and people bash and destroy this games on the forums for 3 years and they never get their posts taken down or any kind of warnings. mean while ive gotten over 3 posts removed and infractures or whatever for calling people babies because they bashed the game.

Im just about done

I think people are confusing PVP feedback for PVE.
All the complaints are about pvp.

Warriors do excellent damage and bring great utility. Which is all you need in PVE. Where warriors run into problems in PVP, is trying to stay alive long enough to use all that dps. This is a non issue in PVE where the dodge button and whirl wind are enough to keep you up.

Disagree.
warrior bring no utility. Banners bring utility. If the warrior doesn’t bring those, they do not naturally bring any else of notable exception. EA is helpful, but wasted on a boss like arch diviner where most of your team is over 600 units away. PS stacks might, but if your in the ranged vale guard party, you won’t stack anything. If you use any other weapon outside of GS, you wont stack anything. They bring no defense, no buffs, no enemy debuffs. They provide no aura’s, they provide no group cleanse, they provide no group heal, they provide no group stealth, they provide no group stability, no reflects, no,..no,…no.. I enjoy warrior as much as the next guy and lvl’ed mine to 500 crafting in many areas. all ascended, legendary etc because i felt they were the most secure profession to heavily invest in…i was wrong. They have been buffed/nerfed/over nerfed so many times they have become of the top 3 most blue chip professions to invest in.
many players have rose tinted glasses with warrior. It is not until they play a number of other professions now that they begin to realise that warrior developed is under performing. Pretty much every profession has moved well beyond them in terms of how much they can bring to the table.

So much this. Warrior isn’t in a good spot for pve at all. I struggle solo with warrior and it’s now that only class in struggle with. Reaper feels like warrior to me now. Ps and banners are the only thing a warrior can do and ps isn’t even that important anymore with a herald and tempest constantly stacking might

Done playing Rev.

General speaking we trash every class 1v1 though condis give us an insanely hard time.

For the most part yea but condi reaper can crush revs without much effort tbh

the Meta isnt really that hard, people gave up on it too quick. All you have to do is press 1 and not CC to win for the most part.

Please make chak weapons ascended

Ascended weapons would be way too good. Also higher prices would make it even harder to finish the Chak collection (you cannot get 2h weapons from story).

you can get staff and GS from story

Please make chak weapons ascended

Not the story ones, but any you buy in tangled dephs. Increase the cost by a little. This map needs more reason to bring people to it
