Daecollo.9578:

Greatsword isn’t our main offensive weapon, Axe is. Greatsword is our main Mobility weapon, which is why it always gets a slot, you can’t get out of a fight without rush. The offensive power it has is icing on the cake.

Axe is high burst damage, but that hardly classifies it as “THE” offensive weapon. In fact, even the shield can be used offensively.

The main thing that sets weapons apart is their flavoring. Greatsword is high mobility and that can be used both offensively and defensively. That’s the main reason the Greatsword is the weapon of choice for nearly all builds. Mobility is the most important tool in anyone’s arsenal in GW2.

That’s not necessarily true at all in pvp. GS is taken because it’s the only weapon that ca do enough damage to in a burst situation to kill someone off. Axe Eviscerate doesn’t have nearly the oomph required to drop someone .

I am going to request that they take SOAC off this if any more flame wars erupt on this thread. Please keep the flaming to the pvp threads :P.

Here were the ideas brought up by the SOAC Podcast guys.

Make a second defensive utility tied to your offhand weapon – It would absorb your adrenaline the same way as your standard Burst skill.

Change GS Burst – A charge or anything besides fury uptime and limited damge.

Physical Utiliyt change of Stomp - make it a leap/stunbreaker with a knockdown attached to it this would create a greater mobility and escape.

Gain better actives in signets Currently there is no reason to take signets exept for their passive or condition cleanse.

Mace Improvements – Mace is too slow and easily spotted. the daze is minor at best and the block is single target only.

Longbow Improvements It either needs to have a better power damage or access to more conditions to be effective.

Rifle Improvements Burst skill is too easy to spot and slow so it’s easy to dodge or interrupt. It needs either a lockdown, or more damage the closer you are to it.

You are okay. It’s fine to sign up at your current rank and then be over rank 30 by the time the tournament starts.

Who’s the team captain for this? Or rather main contact. Just to get a few practice fights in before the tourney.

Battosai is the main contact!

Nemesis.8593:

Can you guys tell me at which hour will the tournament take place ?…

The thing is on the 19th my guild will be doing guild missions starting at 8 PM CET, and they mostly do them for me… cause i can never make it on sunday at the appointed hour…

If we can do the tournament like an hour and a half later or maybe anytime sooner that would be very good for me.

It’s 1830pm GMT – we cannot reschedule them on the 19th.

Where do i have to be, when ?… Give me a target to kill

Nemesis you play LoL?

Yeah lol… i play LoL. Use to be really good at it too. I had an average in ranked of 14 – 2 – 10 with my main hero: Cassiopeia. Tried a few games the passed days, i even managed to get 3 – 6 – something.

I am ashamed…

Haha, we will have to play together sometime! I am really bad though my main heroes are veigar, Ahri, and helm dinger. I am solid with Corki, Varus, and Tristana.

It’s that time of the month for the one and only SOAC Profession Tournament, this time our fantastic podcasters and tournament travels across the ocean to the wonderful old country (someone needs to get Bas a ticket to Europe). We are leaving Bas and Pyro behind on the good old shores of NA (though Pyro has threatened to use his EU account), and allowing our favorite EU Podcasters to help run the tournament.
