Guild Wars 2

Might work if you were rockin 90% endurance regen, otherwise I don’t see the benefit over any other rune set. Especially with Sigil of intelligence.

It’s just your standard condie build with sc/sh + staff. He’s running insp/ill/chrono, probably a mix of rabid and dire based on the crit rate.

Thanks a lot Flimp!

looks at acc name

That’s a new one.

I asked him, not you, take a seat.

Spartacus.3192:

What are you talking about that it takes skill to interupt a player? Every player is basically using one skill or another constantly in sPvP and in a team fight with all the Interrupts that classes have these days you are pretty much guaranteed to interupt someone.

Basically, as long as you wait for the icon to go away, you can just hit the skill again. Thief for example, as long as I have the initiative, and they aren’t dazed, they are more than likely using a skill. It’s pretty stupid.

I’m all for getting rid of play that promotes skilless crap. Taking huge amounts of damage for just using your skills is one of them.

I mean, in spvp you may get away without taking Disc, maybe especially if Condi based. In WvW that’s a death sentence. I mean 5 adrenaline on wep swap, run speed with immob cure on movement skills, removing a condi stack every 5s, 15% rehcrage rate on burst skills with might stacking every 5s, and either HF or BM. Good luck roaming w/o move speed or reliable condi clear on demand.

What do you honestly gain in the other lines that are better? I mean STR line for the damage modifiers, but Tactics? Arms? Lol

You even claim you suck at power Warrior, you can bring any build you want and I’ll duel you in spvp and wipe the floor with you as power warrior with those mandatory traitlines.

Honestly one of my biggest issues with what’s arguably our best weapon. It should also be as fast as bulls charge imo. It’s literally slow as hell.

Lol, that moment when the druid with superspeed outruns you while you rush :P

Feels bad man, I like when you Rush, they stealth and you just stop like, hmmmm. Where did he go George?

The one that kills me the most is when you reverse directions right before hitting them because they tried to shadow step. It’s hilarious, I still wonder why Anet can’t just make it like Ele GS4, or heck, screw the Rush itself, make it a huge kitten leap like guard GS3, I know a 1.2k range leap is crazy but it would work much better.

I wish I was better with computers, I would make a gif of myself doing Rush towards someone as they shadowstep and I just fly off a cliff or skyrocket into space lol

I mean let’s be real for a moment, when me and Faux put out the first RRR videos, there was a wow factor because we were doing something with the Ranger class no one had thought to do, it was original, what do you expect nowadays? There are like 2 builds to play.

How can anyone be original and offer that WOW content to their videos? I enjoy the videos because I enjoy the game, I’m not jaded, and I’m pretty sure Vaans never claimed to be the best. I play Warrior and Druid main and can pull off the same stuff, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the content or appreciate it.

People putting out videos shows the game is still very much alive, which in turn makes me happy. The kid is salty because he’s obviously caring about being relevant more so than Vaans, and I’ve never seen any of his videos so I can’t say for sure. Even if he has beaten him in duels, who cares?

Great fights!

Mind sharing your recent builds?

Second this, into the mists doesn’t work anymore.

Watch the video and laugh, the sigil + pulmonary impact takes zero skill, does ridiculous damage, and is super laughable.

It’s not like Vaans is that great either tbh.. I’ll give him credit for being better than most but he def ain’t wow.

Confirmed Salt by player killed by Vaans in multiple 1vx situations.

I’ve actually duelled Vaans multiple times before and won most. Just being realistic.

I think you should just calm down man, it’s not that serious.

Pyriall.1683:

GS5 should be a lesser version of Bull’s Charge.

Exactly what I’ve been saying, just speed up the kitten animation!

Hopefully Dogged March will get merged into one trait with Warrior’s Sprint and will help with the chill/cripple issue.

Probably still why I enjoy running dogged march+hoelbrak+lemongrass in wvw on occasion, basically immune to all that trash.

Hey bud, glad you’re enjoying this! I’ve been running something similair w/ paladin/cleric and some shouts for team support, been fun!

Yannir.4132:

Yeah, Blast Gyro works best in melee range. It’s hard to spot with all the other carp flying around.

ALL THESE DARN CARPS FLYING AROUND

Been running this GS/Hammer build in spvp and having a blast, great damage, great control, great mobility, just great fun.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQJARSjMdQVI2FCmhAnIGKCKtLi+XwGgHIAwVvFCBA-TpBCQBU4IAkj9HWYZAAcIAwwDAYYXAAA

Went with Hoelbrak and CI due to all the stupid condi there is, warrs, thieves with aids, mesmers, necros, engis etc

I swap between Paladin (menders and cleric) for healing lolz and new amulet, forget the name. Still playing around with it.

Question is about the sigils:

Went with paralyzation/intelligence on hammer for the stun duration and large hit from fierce blow, staggering blow etc

Went with Hydromancy/Impact on GS for the chill swap dmg and the occasional HB against stunned targets from ES.

Thoughts?

No.

-Sincerely,

Warrior kills Mesmer, news at 11.

1) Perplexity runes aren’t in spvp
2) This is spvp forums
3) You iz bad
4) So iz yer geld

L2P

L2P issue, nothing more, move along.

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.

Great vid, loved the editing, link to build?

Build link is fudged

So, I haven’t been back to game long and got HOT, but, I’m assuming me not being able to see Taunt effects on my character is a graphical clutter reduction? Bc If I’m on, let’s say, Warrior, and Druid uses Taunt it’s flashy and very obvious, is this something you can turn on or off?

If mace f1 had the speed and animation of Skull Grinder, I’d never play anything but Mace. And the design of Moot really upsets me.

Should be able to anytime as long as you’re not in combat I believe just hit “B” and hit the eye anytime, cept when dead.

You can do it any time if youre fast enough, sometimes I will when match ends and take quick SS, or hop out mid match and look rq and hop back in. If someone utterly destroys me, I do that, just so I know how to counter or genuine curiosity.

spvp sorry, in wvw solo roam I just choose protect me

I hit semi-hard with clerics…with boon duration runes and might stacking it wasn’t hard. Guess we will never know since you didn’t click that little spectate button.

Go cleric with a tanky rune and sit back and laugh.

kitten it too much work lol I hate pve

He was using cleric. I can almost gurantee it. I did it to troll people few weeks back and have done a few matches with it since patch. I just stacked as much stab as I could and went mace/sh and gs. Pretty much unkillable by melee. Also ran with monk runes.

If I have the gold, what kidn of timeframe am I looking at?

Guard or Protect Me?

Is Guard similar to Necros “Rise”? The tooltip is weird.

I can get Adrenaline as super rapid rates with or without Zerker so it’s become incredibly useful instead of always having to rely on just zerker.

I’ve been running Cleansing Ire as vanilla and sometimes zerk with axe/sh and gs w/ demolisher ammy. It’s definitely very underrated, everyone wants to pick up RR for the toughness/healing but, CI has really started to shine, especially since spending adrenaline has become so prevalent especially with SoR.

I cannot complain. It could be worse. We are in a better spot for sure,

Next time, just spectate, that’s what I do.

With the hot changes, how long and how much money should I expect to invest crafting this wep?

known bug i believe

I’d hate to give up chrono just for time marches on etc lol such a big qol

apharma.3741:

Dire is ok for roaming, in fact classic full dire sceptre-torch/staff with PU and condition damage runes is still one of the most effective roamers there is. Dire would still work fine in the PvP condi chrono build too as the damage comes mainly from high uptime of conditions.

Everyone and their mum will hate you, gank you, corpse jump you, throw siege on your corpse, build it and use it though. So be prepared for a lot of hate.

Grab some perplexity or tormenting runes if you can afford them otherwise undead or nightmare runes will do nicely. Oh and make sure you are running +condition duration food, toxic of using crystals if you’re rich.

With the metabattle build, what would you give up to take Chaos?

My friend just hit 80 on his mesmer and is trying to roam with me, now keep in mind he doesnt have much cash or access to ascended stuff etc so just something I can make or he can buy off tp.

For the meta chrono condi shatter build, does he need power? Or is Dire ok for roaming?

Thanks in advance!

Pure power I sometimes use axe instead of sword. I can’t stand Berserker outside of spvp, but if I do use it, I use the build below.

This is so laughable

PvP is suppose to give alot of classes the ability to play different roles. Healer, sustain, bunker, dps.

We had this before HOT and it worked great for raned/unranked ques and you saw alot of builds in the AG/ESL leagues.

Ive already seen many people come up witht eh same build as I. Either running sword/torch or sword/shield with longbow.

Defense/displine/beserker with cleansing ire. Warrior got better ok, but did PvP situation get better?

Still no class diversity, people saying ohhh i can 1 vs 1 druids/revs/necros now. Yeah thats great that you can beat a crappy player on the elite class.

Keep bumping your own post but changing a meta to simply include a class and slowly demote 2 others with out looking into the power creep/ condi creep/ forced class play of condi mesmers and eles.

Simply giving warrior better healing didnt change the overall problem with PvP.

Ye, first was happy for the change since we got competitive again. But i realised that it pushes war more to berserker, and one build. Ye adrenal suck, speci is still rotation spam, brainless and boring. Still want to see speci nerfs for all classes.

Yep,

The worst part about this thread is many people dont care just as long as the class is viable to them.

I made it to legendary in season 1 partially using a core M/S- GS build which lead to people crying how bad beserker trait line was.

I made it in season 2 to legendary using condi till ruby and gun flame to Legendary. Anet with the patch literally killed any rifle builds, nobody cares. People have made comments as its a stupid build anyways.

Now all i see in from PvP warriors is either mace-shield/ sword-torch/ longbow and if you are not using these 3 you are under performing.

Before HOT you had options, for instance you could run a physical build for 1 vs 1. Mace/shield- great sword. Healing sigent, elite signet, bulls charge, the jump physical skill and beserker stance. This was a great 1 vs 1 build, then the meta hammer/greatsword dps, then shoutbow.

This was literally options for style of play with a certain build. When this patch happened and this thread popped up i honestly dont know if people got it that nothing changed.

Literally nothing except we can play a slightly more effective condi build.

Does it allow a potential clash in teams over style of play? NO

Does it allow for unique 2 vs 2 or 1 vs 1 build crafting? NO

Did it give us a better meta? NO

Does making it to legendary/Diamond/Ruby actually mean anything? Did we get a leader Board? Do we get to see who the Top MMR players are? Do we get unique items or skins?

Do people want to see different strats on rotations/build set ups/ team comps etc etc etc?

The answer is NO because nothing changed.

Please someone bump this thread some more so i can keep pointing out the things many PvP players want but have yet to get since the HOT expansion was released and the fact that many things were taken away and still not have been put back.

I literally agree with every point. I got suspended for my Warrior Rant where I mentioned this AH issue as a band aid and yet here we are, still people arguing Warrior Viability in spvp. There is NO BUILD DIVERSITY. Just the illusion. but no, according to others it’s an l2p issue and not with warrior itself.

PowerBottom.5796:

l2p issue: Current demo war build with defense/disc/Berz is very strong, but hard to play and hard to play against. Learn the MU’s and how to play it and be amazed at what it can do.

Dude, you are the most condescending kid on these forums. You say the same kitten in every post about l2p and act like you’re some top notch pro, think about what I’m even talking about before you open your mouth and spout off about all your ESL friends and kitten, noone cares, I’m talking about IN GENERALITIES the Warrior has been on the back burner forever. I’ve been making videos for years, I know the class inside and out and what it can do.

I never said we were weak or complete trash or didn’t have strong builds, the build I made beats out all the other cancerous builds, it’s not about that.

Staff daredevil shreds condi mes in 3-4 vault crits, you just have to toy the mesmer to waste their 3 blocks and bunch of blinks.

As always, D/P and S/D having higher skillcap make things a bit more difficult You have to make sure you make a successive steal and you should rather backpedal if you fail. Resistance is too strong to be missed in 1on1 versus mesmer. It allows the thief to apply pressure without consequences for few seconds. With all the mobility and interrupts the thief is perfectly capable to give a run for the mesmer’s money.

Torment cleanse on withdraw is fun too. Wish it could remove confusion too :U

At this moment I am unsure if the current balance isn’t worse than last few years when thief was ultimately killing mesmer without breaking a sweat. The problem with current balance is that thief has no room for mistakes. A random immobilize or a random chain stun could be exactly what the mesmer needs to burst you down and even if you survive you won’t have the HPs to keep on fighting so it’s likely you’ll reset the fight.

It’s a difficult fight.

recall mantra lockdown mes

What about it? Withdraw has always gotten me out of difficult situations. Back then it was doing more “range” too so I was gaining distance on top of higher HP return.

And last year you could barely touch an S/D thief. Sure the damage is meh but the amount of evade frames was insane. If played right it was borderline impossible to kill. It never made it into ESL because it didn’t burst as hard as D/P although I do recall Toker using S/D in couple of matches.

you talking meta or no…because everyone can counterbuild in 1v1 but it’s completely useless in real..

Before June thief nerf last year I didn’t consider mesmer a viable opponent. Not under any circumstance. All they could do is flee with a portal and that’s about it.

Sure they one-shot me every now and then when they caught me by surprise and under cooldowns but mesmer was a joke to the thief for quite some time. Unless you facetanked all the shatters

I had better sustain, I had interrupts, I could go everywhere they go with shadow step and steal. Then they introduced this full 3 trait lines bullkitten and rearranged traits and completely kittened up the thief. And EVEN THEN the thief remained in the meta until the revenant. Because of mobility.

Exactly, why take a thief or a warrior over a Revenant when they do the job better than both?
