Simply put:
Unranked is set to make sure you have a 50% win/loss ratio. Ranked is like survival of the fittest. So yeah, people are going to have different opinions of each queue depending on how they define competition.
Simply put:
You are wrong, every competitive game uses a 50/50 algorithm. Ranked last season, wasn’t survival of the fittest, it was 66% hot join and 33% competitive . You had 3 ways to progress ( 5 vs 5 10 vs 1 or 1 vs 10, in short X vs X). I agree, people are going to have different opinions but at least make sure your opinions are based on facts. You still dont know how the S2 algorithm worked (or you wouldn’t have called it survival of the fittest). And please, do your research on the S2 algorithm

It’s cute you’re trying to defend Unranked as a good system after those hilarious Heselth videos which showed otherwise.
I mean I don’t even like Helseth but man had a point and here you guys are trying to argue with hyperboles and petty insults to justify your obviously wrong viewpoints.
Maybe because those videos were released after S1??,i can tell you are confused, i am not defending unranked, just stating facts. As it stands, the unranked algorithm is more competitive than the S2 algo.
About the petty insults, i have enough infraction point on my account, can you please tell me what you found insulting so it can be edited. Thanks, and that wasnt my attention at all, so i would happily edit, whatever you found insulting.
Thanks again

last time i check, only losers complains on forum… So yeah, i wouldn’t expect someone who smooth walked through legendary to complain on the forum… but i know some casual players, hardcore pv er reached legendary and i had one on my guild…
I wish i was that ignorant(talking to myself) though, opinions man!!
you can always check this thread, lmao .. i ll add more thread later

Fishball is right. Statistically, higher MMR players will be put with lower ranking or newbie teams in Unranked because the match making program is looking to make comparable teams with the same average MMR so any combination of MMR is possible on the same team. In Ranked, it was just based on your PIP level so at some point, higher MMR players would only face high MMR players.
So while a few people got to legendary by grinding, it wasn’t like it was throwing sapphires or ambers on your team. Also I believe I read last season that Unranked MMR decays so if you didn’t play for a few months due to Seasons, your MMR tanked a bit which hurts higher tier players.
However, Unranked is basically Hot Join and I think that’s the complaint. It does keep queue times low though..
lol, what a bunch of nonsense (not attacking the OP, just his logic). So. don’t take this personally, first, you are clueless as to how ranked worked; And second, whatever you are experiencing in unranked is due to a Low player pools, daily chasers and folks not caring about umranked (i.e no pip loss). The unranked algorithm is miles better than S2 ranked.
@fishball, there is enough proof on these forum, all you have to do is use the search tools. And, if you can find an iota of truth in someone else anecdotal experience, then…. But i won t argue with you on it because Anet/ seth/ or any competitive pvp player know that anyone with an above average or high MMR was garanteed a spot in legendary. Lets not forget why helseth left gw2, he didnt leave after S1
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
It’s more real than your claims of "completely new players who never stepped foot in pvp and had no idea how to play it made it to legendary last season simply because they were lucky enough to get put on the team with mostly experienced players ".
I’ve heard that story before but I’ve never seen any proof. Whereas the unranked stuff I mentioned is what actually happens to a fair few of us.
I hope you are joking..
I am still playing POWRR WARRIOR.. condi warrior is probably the opest build atm, but it’s not challenging enough for my liking.
And yes, we need an anti condi stats since condi has overtaken powrr as the main source of dmg.
QUESTION… (just throwing it out there)…
People continue to go on about the huge complaints that are made (and I’m guilty of it too) of being put with people with a lower MMR than themselves…
How do you/we/I know they are lower MMR? We can’t check? We don’t know our current MMR when entering those games… People have bad days, including me…
Obviously we all know when our team sucks, and we all know when the opposition sucks, but when complaining about being put with people who are lower MMR than us, how do we actually know that, as fact? It’s presumption based on game-play and unless you get those people time and time again and they continue to suck, we don’t actually know.
That said, unranked still sucks LOL.
Gameplay and division. And yes i get same people a lot and i see their division in HotM. They even say themself they are new to pvp and just started. I had match other day, a druid came with me and started double cap home. I told him go mid, support team. He apologized and said he is new to this. I felt so bad for him. I played over 5k matches, some enemies on our team probably too. He got farmed so hard all match. We won but i wonder if he actually enjoyed the match.
Besides it is not normal that i can 100-0 revs, scrappers and chrono as thief. In unranked it happens a lot.
But, you can be dragon rank and have a kitten MMR, right? And, I can be in Ruby or above and have horrendous loss streaks that lower my MMR time after time… gameplay doesn’t really tell you much unless you play with them time after time.
So I still don’t see how honestly we can tell what our team mates or opponents’ MMR is.
[edit] my query was just about people ‘guessing’ that they are matched with lower skilled players than them, and wasn’t about how unbalanced unranked is.
I am in legend, some people i face/get on my team are in sapphire. Do you really think we have same MMR given that i facerolled through sapphire on core thief? Watch Helseth video. This is not so rare.
Lol at thi guy saying he is a legend. Newflash, your rank MMR doesn’t carry over to Unrank. So, let’s just say, you are were you are supposed to be…. of you don’t put it the work, why should Anet rewards you with decent (as you call it) players. What ought to matters to you is that, 100% of your games are 5 vs 5. And yes. Unranked MMR isn’t static, it decreases everytime you lose, the volatility increase during breaks, etc…
A close score doesn’t equal a fun and competitive match.
If a close score doesn’t equal a competitive match what does?
Fighting with and against players close to your skill level. And no that doesn’t always result in a close score.
Maybe 95% of those games are close?? Assuming both camps have a supp… I mean unless the other camp isn’t following the meta, those games are always close.
Warrior’s seen really bad days, I’m just glad the recent patch did us good.. considering how long Warrior’s were in the gutter since the release of HoT..
The points made are actually good.. but I don’t know, maybe they truly want Warriors to be weak to simple (and I do mean SIMPLE) disengage. I mean.. all any decent enemy gotta do is back off when we pop our stances and/or poke/outsustain us to death.. been like that since the beginning and hasn’t changed..
We also took big hits to our mobility in the past (reduced range and increased cd on GS and Sword skills) and we have little to no chase potential besides those 2 weapons even today and we are stuck running at least one of those 2 sets or we’ll be walking pincushions.
Given their design direction, for a class they expect to “just sit there and take it” Warriros are severely lacking in lasting heals and defenses compared to every other class, Warriors are probably the worse at this.
I agree that damage reduction is one of the routes to go.. and more blocks/reflects.. for defenses. Or just make our critical hits in melee unblockable.. rewarding us for sticking close to our enemies.. >:D Magic shields blocking BIG kitten weapon strikes.. SIMPLY UNHEARD OF.. *whistling nonchalantly.. >o>
I’d prefer they focus on Warrior’s other weapons, traitlines and skills.. make those options more viable.. diversify our build options. Other classes can use this love as well.
That’s close to impossible in this meta, unless you are going up against a thief.
You entirely miss the point of what everybody wrote here and shifted the complaint to the system of Season 2 which most people agree is not perfect.
Unranked pits you entirely random people to mash up the MMR evenly on both sides and gives people varying quality of players which isn’t fun for good players or bad players.
It can’t be fun being a non-factor in the match and it can’t be fun hard carrying 4 other people who are worse than you.
A good system would be to put 5 similar skilled players together and have them fight 5 similar skilled players. That would make the wins feel worthwhile and nobody in the teams would feel like they got carried or carried because everyone is of similar skill level.
Just because Ranked S2 matchmaking was bad doesn’t make unranked matchmaking GOOD. Please understand this.
Actually it does, unranked matchmaking is better than ranked for competitive players. What YOU need to do is separate confounding factors( such as someone’s moods, oh I only play unranked to have fun, I am trying a build) from the actual match making. Sure, the MM isn’t perfect, but I’ll garantee you that 99.9% of the games, 2 weeks post patch, works the way you describe them (equal Skill vs equal skill) 5 vs 5. Now a 19 trying a new class or build might bring him down to 5 ot boost his rating, that still doesn’t mean that the player isn’t a 10.
The only way to fix this, is to bring back class MMR, but I rather not ….
I am new to Guild Wars 2 and the forums and I really enjoy the PvP aspect as well as the Heart of Thorns PvE. My only problem is once every 10(?) games I get matched against someone much better than anyone else. Yesterday I was playing unranked with people Deer level as that is my rank and a thief on the enemy team was dominating everyone… I whispered him and asked him how he is so good and he told me he is Dragon, I then checked the wiki and that is the best rank… Why am I playing against him? It is just plain unfun as there is nothing you can do, thankfully something positive came out of it as he agreed to help me get better at my main class, thief but most of the time it isn’t fun at all and you just wish for the game to be over.
Earlier I had another experience where a Mesmer and Thief both had the Phoenix finisher, I got sick of it and left as I was getting killed as soon as a slight trace of me was seen. I noticed that it is when there is one person who is Deer and then the other person joins their party they can play freely on the other person’s rank which isn’t really fair. My suggestion is that the party gets put into the higher ranking persons rank, since then it only ruins 1 persons game (other person in the party) rather than up to 8 people.
Question: were you playing unrank or hotjoin? And second question, did you win all of your 10 games or not?
Fyi: to play unranked, you actually have to click on the unranked button which isn’t the same as clicking on “play now”
Cap the number of legendary to 50, and introduce a system where last tier diamonds have to win 3 out of 5 games to knock someone in legendary down.
Bump, someone lol’ed at my post and I would appreciate it if I could get an answer back.
Thanks.
I also ‘lol’ at your post. I mean we all know that ranked wasn’t competitive but it was still more competitive than playing matches with and against backpedaling norn-roleplayers who want to do their daily on the guild’s ‘pvp-day’. 9 out of 10 matches I face the same dumb people I would have faced in emerald/amber
We need ranked matches and a decent leaderboard that goes on off-season, which people are demanding since years.
I also really really liked the idea to introduce a 2v2 queue which is similar to the ‘random arena’ of gw1 – just in a 2v2 setting
I just happen to disagree with that assement. First, because most role players are pve er and second
, you being a core pvp players, the odds of being matched with or against a pve role playing players are pretty low. But why get lost in the details, Any system with a 5 vs 5 is deemed more competitve than 10 vs 1 5 vs 5 or 10 vs 1. I can always be wrong though…
As far a ladder, what Anet has to do is cap the number of legendary to 50.
Bump, someone lol’ed at my post and I would appreciate it if I could get an answer back.

I’ll have to disagree on arcane skills. You’re arguing from a point of ‘defensive’ utilities, which is TOTALLY NOT what arcane skills are all about. And no, arcane skills are not meant for raw damage either.
Elemental Surge is wayyy underrated.
Uhm… so I have to waste a grand master trait slot to get a burn/immob every few seconds?
Why not?? You have no idea how OP those imo are in tf.
I have no idea what logic you use to say the trait is fine to be slotted, by first glance even the most uninitiated MMORPG player will say that that trait is not even GM worthy. Adept Minor at best.
Look, i have yet to touch ele but how is a trait that give you. and i quote “so I have to waste a grand master trait slot to get a burn/immob every few seconds?” not op??? It’s like, us , warrior having a trait that stun folks every few second..
What warrior trait?
i was making an anology, we have no such traits.
Bad analogy though, read the ele GM again.
Maybe you should re-read the bolded statement, i am going off based on what he said.

Well, this season was casual to a point that unranked are more competitive than ranks. But to answer your question, Iol (one of the most competitve games out there), has a break ( about a month) in between season. Futhermore, gw2 being an MMO, break after major updates is a NECESSITY.
Free advice, don’t play on week ends; They could have been trying builds or were just casuals, And also the like hood of a 10 being match with a 3 or 1 on a Sunday/Saturday is pretty low.
My god, when is whining going to stop, before ranked started we had unranked for almost 3 months!!! I agree with your post on ranks and all, but unranked can also be that competitve. And as it stand, unranked is more competitve than ranked, let’s mot forget the X VS X. Unless they fix it, ranked is just another hot join, imo.
And also disabling ranked after the patch is a GREAT IDEA. For the lie of me, I can’t seems to undertsand why most folks think people are going to take their game seriously after the patch? Such as not trying a build, or not bulls hiring diamond/ruby/saphiree/ emeralds trying to move up a rank/division. Everyone is assuming that their opponent trying a build in ranked is an impossibility.
Enabling ranked after a patch is a Bad Idea.
lol
Well, what about it is false?
Its during Ranked season that the playerbase peak in popularity regarding SPvP. People was waiting for ranked since the release of the game. The number of players in SPvP Is dangerously low during off-season
True, besides the myriads of reason given above( trying build, gauging the next meta build for your class, etc..) don’t you think having the season enabled all year long would cheapen ranks?? The way I see it, ranked is ranked because you have to reach whatever division you think you belong in, under 2 months. So people try their best to get there. Once there, most people give up on ranks (I. E. Legebdary troll threads.)

I am on JQ, and our server is full of over and pvp er. So most of my friends don’t are about WvW. I remeber one week into the league JQ barely had 5% of chart.
tarcis best rev in NA lmoa … RIP NA
Yes I was, any problem sir?
Idk. It just says a lot about NA if a person is considered the best NA revenant ,allthough he was/is pretty inactive and even spent barely any time on this class in comparison to other NA revenants.
i think he was the first player NA to give Power Rev a try (i.e. Hammer Rev during the S1) while everyone else was running condi rev.
Anyways, couldn’t kill him today, i’ll try again tonight. I almost got him though.
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
Before this patch chaith on a stream said he had beaten toker with 1 particular amulet every time on his engy and lost every time with the one that was quote um quote the meta build.
Ive seen necros in the legendary ques beat his rev in the past 2 seasons as well. Tarcis has lots of game on his warrios, and most of the time i go toe to toe with him. So, the skills are just as important as a champ mechanics. Let’s not forget that rev is only 6 month old.
Ive seen many of the Astral (Abjured) players playing on many different characters. Toker is easily the best at multi classing and phanta right there with him. I would of put toker as the 2nd best rev in NA behind tarcis and the 3rd best being wang.
Lastly people throwing out stuff like shield 5 and ohhh i beat revs all the time.
Its why people hate the league system so much, there is not 1 person in here who uses warrior who can beat a good rev/necro/mesmer.
These guys have around 15-20k matches played and scrimmed for hours a day in team settings/ dueled for hours in practice builds/ won 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 and 3 vs 3 tournaments/ and are competing against the other elite players of the game in ESL weeklys/ WTS/Pro Leagues.
And you come in here talking about timing skills and using shield 5 ………………………………
Im sorry but if GW2 had a legit Pro Rating system for Leagues and your gonna compare these guys builds and abilities to your own. You wouldnt make ruby.
I remmeber that stream as well, and it was celestial.
Bolded statement, i wouldnt say mesmer or necros.
Your last sentence, idk dude. Let’s not forget revs are S tier. Tarcis has lots of game on his warrior, and most of the time i go toe to toe against him. So, the skills are as important as a class mechanics. Also let’s not forget that revs are only 6 month old. Beating toker on his thief has never been a problem….
Anyways, as a warrior timing your shield 5 or 4 or you headbutt, or etc.., are your best bet to go against a toon whos is mechanically better than yours.

I am not a core WvW player, but if Anet ever brought Alpine hack, can you please keep both Alpine and Dbl open?? Cause I rather play on Dbl than a bland looking, non-strategic map that alpine was.
Thanks.
In sum: keep both open. I like roaming and get to g into 1 vs 1, the bigger the maps are the better, IMO.
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
There are many significant parameters to take into account in a matchup: the classes in use, the builds and their counters, the skills of the players… You’re not supposed to win every matchup, this is team work after all.
Do you know what build he uses? This could help in devising a counter-build, if you aim at beating him in particular. Also, if you could post a video of you losing a duel, maybe we could find out areas of improvement for you, as well as patterns to take advantage of in your opponent’s game play?
Anyway, I applaud your fighting spirit here, and I wish you the best in this challenge!
Which software should I use? As far as the build I have no idea. Most revs do the wings thing then sword 3 then block. Precision or staff 5… this guy watch my stab dude, he always get me at the right time…. And his build just hit hard.
For me, every rev fight is pretty one sided. The most they can hope for is to last until i get outnumbers. There have been a few revs who i think are just better than me who have beaten me, but mostly they fall flat. I don’t know who This is Balanced is, but he sounds like one of the latter, so you may just need to be better to to beat him.
He is magic Toker. ( abjured member)
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
I know they do, but that guardian carried gard. Dude we could nt get a single stomp, let alone cap mid. He had a well, similar to chrono.5 j even asked if supp guardian would be meta this season. To no avail. From what I ve Deen since the patch, supp guardian >> DH.
I could be wrong as well.
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
It’s not about buffing DH. It’s about buffing core Guardian. Our support role has been gutted over the years. We don’t need to be the boon bots like ele or rev, but we should provide a few specific boons for a long time (I’m thinking protection, regen, and resistance).
Condition wise I’m okay with just applying burning but the icd on burning on blocks should be taken away. The GM that increase burning damage should be brought back up.
Traits need to be rearranged too so actual builds can be made from the concepts.
I have seen some great supp guardian since the patch.. their carry potential is insane. I am pretty sure, supp guardian will be meta this season.
No, but I’ve had plenty of other REvs blow me up. One trick I’ve found is that Revs sword 2 is projectiles so Shield Master can be pretty hilarious.
Nah this doesn’t work against a good revs, it might get his hp down but def won’t kill him. Most revs will wait for your shield stance to go down and staff 5 and sword 3 you, then aa = gg
Honestly Rev rotations are extremely easy to predict for me, their playstyle is stupid repetitive and highly telegraphed. I haven’t had many issues beating them.
It depends… a good revs will be able to go through your defenses…. I have no trouble going up against most revs, but I have a few that I can’t beat, toker being the repeated offender. Like I have yet to find a way to go through him defense. So maybe a condi warrior had a shot against a dps rev.
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
Has anyone beat This is Balanced yet? I have tried going all tanky, and I still can’t beat him.. how is his build any different from what everyone else runs?? He I the only revs who is killing me in 20 sec.
Have you guys had any success against him?
Only warrior I know, who goes tanky is mooncow.
And also, can you please cap the number of legendaries to 50, thanks.
Lol, funny you didn’t even watch his video and yet you are giving an opinion on the subject. To correct you he did say the MM was good, and I quote " that’s how a ladder I supposed to work"
I guess now he is crying cause the ladder is so advocated for, didn’t keep as many player as he wanted from attaining legendary. But I’ll add more to the quote once i’ll have time
http://www.twitch.tv/thelordhelseth/v/52274472?t=04h16m47s
Worth a watch, what do you guys think? is the system favoring higher MMR players or are we all just refusing to admit we aren’t as good as we think?
I ll advise you to check his video.
I saw it live and nothing of this is changing anything of what I did say.
Maybe you should watch it again because it seems you clearly didn’t understand what he was saying. Otherwise you wouldn’t have written something like thisSorry but I lmao at the bolded statement. So, is this the same Helseth who said people could carry their game, or the dude who tediously denied MMR hell, or the guy who believed that your teammates could, in no way. Impact the outcome of a game.
Wow funny how opinions are changing.
Well, I am fearing for your wellbeing Dominika. Because 1 min into the video, the Lord Helseth saI’d and I quote " I play every gane with a carry mindset" and , paraphrasing what he said " you have to carry every game if you want to win". So idk what you are grasping at… but I’ll do you a favor and convert his whole video to text. And ill make sure, the key points/ sentences are highlighted. Meanwhile, I d seriously recommend you to watch the WHOLE video.
Well, it might not change any of what you said, since you;re entitled to your opinion, still doesnt change the fact that you are WRONG.
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
Helseth never said that the matchmaking is good or anything on the contrary he said right at the start that legendary has pretty much 0 Prestige because everyone is able to become it easily while in other games only about 2% are able to reach the ‘prestige satate’. And exactly that is the reason why he made fun of those guys who claimed being stucked in ruby not being able to reach legendary. Simply because it was super easy if you are at least
decent.So he never made any contradiction. He thinks that the matchmaking is bad but because of another reason,which people dont seem to understand

Did you even watched his video?
All this has nothing to do with his decision. His main reason is because everyone can get legendary no one want to watch.
So how is that any different from what I have said? How were those folks able to get to legendary? I.e. X vs X?? The same algorithm Helseth supported… And why didn’t he quit after S1? This was an unintended consequence of the the S2 algorithm.
@everyone. What the game need is a competitve ladder (I. E. Only 50 spot in legendary; cap the number of legendary); just take a look at the lol.
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
Yeah, most important and entertaining GW2 streamer decides to not stream anymore, totally not a big deal. Once Leeto decides to quit aswell you can go and enjoy your boring and monotonous family friendly streamers.
This is exactly whats wrong with the game, casualness and a non competitive mindset.
This but remember Helseth is or, was in this case, a proponent of the X vs X algorithm. So I am surprised to see him quit cause of the uncompetitive nature of the S2 ladder. Needless to say, everytime a streamer leave, the community suffer. “Easy come, Easy Go”.
You’re running out of memory. Your 32 bit OS can’t handle GW2 + anything else you have open. If you are able to upgrade to 64 bit OS, you’ll still have crashes, just less often. If you get 64 bit OS + 64 bit game client for Gw2, most if not all of the memory crashes will stop.
So where do I find the log? Cause I am getting the BSOD every 5 min’s into the game.
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2\ArenaNet.log
Thanks
The game has problems with Nvidia/optimus systems. To see whether this is the same error, set the game to “Windows 7 compatibility mode” and do not use in game vsync. If necessary you will need to delete local.dat in order for all settings (graphics and keybinds) to be reset and then make sure Vsync is not switched on. To avoid screentearing you can use borderless windowed mode.
There are inherent problems with this game and Nvidia based laptops. The developers have not admitted anything but there has been a gamebreaking problem for months now directly related to GW2 and Optimus. This is worth a try although yours may be a different issue.
Normally this issue, when it crashes you can alt tab and click the running gw2 process and get back into the game, texture corruption can then be displayed but may be different on your system.
Thanks I’ll try your suggestion once I’ll get home and update you by the end of the day. Needless to say, the repair trick didn’t work for me.
The hell are you talking about. This is the burstiest it’s been in a very long time.
This ^^.. this meta is burst af (excuse my language) but everyone and their moms are running around the maps with either +10 stack of might or +10 stacks of vulnerability. Some5hing has to be done about the might though…
https://www.twitch.tv/thelordhelseth/v/62626340
In short he can’t grow his channel in GW2 because:
- People have no incentive to watch streams. Everyone can get to legendary(but why would they even want to? it holds no prestige) without being good at the game so they don’t have to learn from streams.
- There is no soloque.
That’s not exactly what he said. I don’t even know where you get the “no soloq” part. To be a little more precise, he gives the following explanations for his lack of viewership:
The league system does not provide balanced matches. As a result, most games are complete blow-outs, and they are not fun to watch on stream. He said that for him scrims are fun, pro league matches are fun, duels against competent players are fun, but he can’t stream those for obvious reason, forcing him to play soloq, which is lame because unbalanced and full of terrible players.
Now, more realistically, what frustrates Helseth is that even as the most popular GW2 streamer, he rarely goes above 800 viewers at a time. He also said that the number of his followers increases too slowly. Naturally, that’s because GW2 is a low-population game. It’s not rocket science that if you want to be a successful streamer, you need to play a game that people are willing to watch.
GW2 pvp community likes to watch pvp streams. The pro-league viewership numbers are important when compared to the number of active pvp players (around 25k in EU in January 2015, probably more now). The problem is not that not enough people want to watch Helseth stream, it’s that not enough people play pvp in GW2.
Sorry but I lmao at the bolded statement. So, is this the same Helseth who said people could carry their game, or the dude who tediously denied MMR hell, or the guy who believed that your teammates could, in no way. Impact the outcome of a game.
Wow funny how opinions are changing.
Anyways, my biggest issue with gw2 is the boon spam… way way too much spam. I have seen druids/ranger maintain 17 stack of might, that should nt be a thing.
You’re running out of memory. Your 32 bit OS can’t handle GW2 + anything else you have open. If you are able to upgrade to 64 bit OS, you’ll still have crashes, just less often. If you get 64 bit OS + 64 bit game client for Gw2, most if not all of the memory crashes will stop.
So where do I find the log? Cause I am getting the BSOD every 5 min’s into the game.
Having this issue since the April 19th patch .. I’ll try the method above me to see if it’ll fix the problem.
My game crashed twice in game, and keeps on dc ing my mouse everytime I play
DH ( unless you are running bow/X) and chrono are the only ones who can put up a fight against us tbh.
I dont get it, how does discipline force you to use a longbow?
Landing your burst skills becomes much more important if you don’t use a berserker build. Missing one due to a random blind can really screw you over, especially if it is the first burst skill you use in a fight (which would delay your adrenal health).
But who uses his burst skills without intending to land them?
Far from removed, if anything Anet unknowingly buffed necros. Before the patch I could deal with necros (2 vs 1) by taking runes of the Svanir and 33% chill red trait.Post patch: Instead of chill, they are condi bombing me with torment, which I have yet to found a counter for. The 20% incoming condi red or 25% from holbrak or melandru, respectively, are crap compare to the 83% chill red I used to have with Svanir.
So it’s a buff for those who main necros.
Nah, that would be too OP. You can always take cleansing ire though, cleansing ire + smash brawler is life.
Been extensively testing new adrenal health.
Once Zerker stance goes down, after HS active as last resorts fades, still get melted by condis even with 3 stacks of Adrenal Health.
Surprise Surprise, the band aid isn’t working.
I’ve experienced the same thing. Adrenal health is a good start but we need more.
I have been playing a power based warrior intensively for the last couple of days in spvp, and i can honestly say… NO.
We have insane condi removal and surivability right now. I have been completely wrecking stuff left and right without too many issues, including mesmers necros and condi thiefs.
I have no idea what more you people want, warrior is perfectly fine as is. Some build variety to get out of the “def/disc/bers” trinity would be nice, but as is, i see very little reason to complain.
edit: I used almost the exact same build as poster above, with shield master instead of dogged march and eternal champion instead of bloody roar instead.
This pretty much, but the thread was made during S2. Anyone asking for a buff, has to take a hard look at himself.
I don’t get this thread, I understand that the OP wanted crtain traits from the disc line to be baseline. But God, we ohht to be happy the changes. I seriously belive that we are on par with scrapper now. A resilience tanky warrior would out sustain or even a beat a tanky scrapper ( still testing).
My point being, we are 100× better than we were last season.
Before HOT playing a meta build didnt mean total dominance. Now every build for each class has to have X n X trait line.
Now before HOT it was still true that ele player had to take arcane and water. But Fresh air ele played alot different then d/d and staff. Every warrior took discipline but a rifle, shoutbow, dps warrior all played very different. etc etc etc
Warrior will be better for season 3 but once again none of the classes actually got better in class diversity. When i play X warrior build, you wont be thinking i should switch to X build to counter it.
What ever the best warrior build is, that will most likely be the only viable build like all the other classes.
I disagree, as far as warrior is concerned, we have more diversity now, then we had then. Just check our forums,
and Onlysaneman is right, as a power warrior you don’t need disc ( although it helps), str/def/zerker is far better than any combo with discipline. And also having a traits with everything in would kill diversity, wouldn’t it??
Im sorry you seemed to miss the point.
Is warrior in a better place, of course the changes were pretty huge. But in the OP thread he ranted but it was about build diversity. It was also in the patch notes and from Anet as they were talking about build diversity.
Once again this limits what warriors can do. I say 95% of warriors will take longbow in this next season. In all season 1 all warriors had was m/s with gs, season 2 it opened up a bit with a condi warrior- gun flame warrior.
But getting to legendary isnt the point since many of us find it really easy to get to legendary. The point is quality of play and diversity in the class we want to play.
Atm revs are still OP because of glint and shiro but its ebcause they have no other option. Dwarf stance and ventari is a joke. Ele plays shouts because no other build can compete with the current meta builds.
Anet replacing potentially scrapper and DH with warrior isnt build diversity or creating a platform to show players skills.
Before HOT people complained about amulet and rune diversity since everyone in the Ag/ESL used the same runes and amulet. Now we are getting everyone uses the same EVERYTHING.
Defense/discipline/beserker to me will be the meta warrior and everyone will use those 3 trait lines in order to be successful. Yes some people will probably try to use different traits to say ohhh look i made it to so and so rank with this build. Yet it doesnt make the build good or viable with other good players and good builds.
No, I got your point. As a whole diversity may or may not be bad, since I only play warrior. However, I have highlighted the part you ve missed. Warrior have more than 5 viable build atm. If that’s not diversity, then idk what is. Only talking about warriors.
@lighter, you can you post your build so I can tweak it for you.
Since you hate brainstorming, I’ll tell you how I maximize my dps.
I used str def zerker… gs sword shield. Now gs is my main, so I use force and air on my gs. And hydro isn’t really needed, with air, you easily hit 12k dmg per 100b and that’s with paladin amulet. So try to work with air and force on your gs. Futhermore, taking bezerker adapt 1 will also boost your dps, since it’s a free 140/280 ferocity point.
And about the revs, I have yet to be outplayed by a rev since the patch. Everytime I lost against one was becauseof a mistake. Wars vs rev 1 vs 1 can go either way if you play well, and the warrio is actually favored to win. However, I do evny their mobility/teleport.
