Guild Wars 2

SuperKorean.7345:

There are so many people who likes to record fighting people in WvW.
I am not going to say all WvW players are bad
but
from my experience,
95% of WvW players dont know how to do small group fights or 1vs1.
only about 5% are exceptionally skilled at small group fights and 1vs1.
Even if some of them are masters of 50 vs 50 fights,
they are still Amber level players in small group fights
I used to record videos of killing multiple people in WvW myself.
but I dont do it anymore
because it feels like 20 year old adult recording a video of beating up little kids.
I dont want to be a Diamond tier 7 player recording a video of beating up little Amber level players.
I get matched up against ESL players and high prestige Legendary players
and this means my mmr is way higher than Diamond tier 7
By watching your video,
I assume that your skill level is roughly about Diamond tier 5 ~ Legendary tier 2
Why don’t you go fight your own skill level in ranked pvp matches??
If you can go beat up ESL players, please do record them and post it here please
those are the videos worth watching

This is a video of my friend fighting a ESL player “Magic Toker” in a ranked match

https://youtu.be/xKkwBlfWsZU

If you can kill a ESL player like this, please record them and post it here please.
Killing little novice players is not impressive at all

No one cares. Stop talking. Sit there and talk about gameplay yet you post a friends? Where is yours? This is for entertainment purposes, not kitten stroking.

I enjoyed the video.

Paulash.5814:

This was one of the people that called Mesmer “completely useless” after the last balance patch without actually taking the time to explore how much utility and strength Mesmer still had. Forgive me if I don’t take your opinion seriously.

This.

Guys guys, let’s not get hung up on the small details like Obindo being right, let’s just relax and play the game, no need to pick sides (I’m on Obindo’s) obviously, let’s just play the game and get back to what’s important, killing noobs with Strength runes bc they are clearly better.

I have no words.

Obindo.6802:

lol? Strength is far far far better, infiltration rune is pretty terribad

+1

Maybe on a thief, where you can get Havoc + Executioner’s and get like 50+% dmg.

Nihevil.8024:

Anastasis.7258:

I just want to come out to act like a warrior savior like I used to be.

You were? lol

Your “build” is not anything special or new. it’s pretty much the mace/shield sword/torch build that every warrior main thought of with HoT release but with a longbow. I wouldn’t be surprised if that people were already opting mace/shield for longbow.

There’s also no real reason to be an kitten either, just because it may or may not be the first of it’s kind.

I for one will give it a try, although I hate LB.

So last night, was playing while I was really tired, I purchased 6 ascended recipes in light armor for my thief with laurels, lol. Is there anyway to get medium armor instead? or file a report to see if anet can help me?

BlaqueFyre.5678:

So if my maths is correct it would look like this. 1.02*1.04*1.06*1.2= approx 1.349, so it would be around 34.9% now with that in mind if you run Sigil of Force and DD Havok master you can reach approx 51.6% damage increase.

omgooses

Ohhhhh joyyyyyyyy

So wait, explain that to me as if I were a 5yr old child, so it doesn’t end up being 32%?

Silly question, just curious, and I’m probably late but just noticed these runes.

For a total of 32% extra damage to foes under 50% health?

Fivedawgs.4267:

Have you consider swapping bull charge with sundering leap?? It synergize quite well with hammer. Sleap —- hammer F1 —-— cc chain etc..

No, I have not, figured wild blow would fair better as an interrupt, heard SL was kinda clunky and garbo, can always give it a shot.

PartyMarty.9382:

Love this build. I’ve been able to solo elements lists in upper amber. Probably the only build where that is possible. Brings a lot to the teamfight with so much control

Glad you enjoy it, I certainly do. I just enjoy being able to kill all the cancerous kitten hilariously fast.

And other classes get a traited 20%. Which we should have, or something similar.

Your food/weapon sigil choices are questionable…you have condition based stuff with no actual condition damage…

I’m not sure I understand.

Not even sure how to respond.

Idc if rifle was the best weapon, I’d never use it, doesn’t fit the “Warrior” playstyle imo. To each their own.

I’m still waiting on GS useable in each hand
-2h Great Axes
-Flails
-Huge shields used as offensive weapons in offhand
-Spears/halberds/polearms

I use a 5 gyro build for spvp, kitten hilariously fun especially with final Salvo and RR

This got fixed after 3.5 years! Maybe in another 5 our issues will be addressed!

What a time to be alive!

Maybe 5 years from now, simple Warrior issues will be addressed next! What a time to be alive!

Asrat.2645:

I was actually just making a really. really bad joke. (bow to me)

Bow wow?!

Asrat.2645:

So they fix sword and you still want a bow?
Anyways: good to see they are actually changing overdue aspects of the game, lets hope they didnt stop there..

I love LB, gut I hate having LTW in a traitline as GM I don’t use, so I’ll be swapping to a melee oriented wep set. I like staff too much to drop it.

Ya’ll are soooo screwed.

REPEAT AFTER ME

I AM FREE!!!

https://twitter.com/GuildWars2/status/720960002379407360

RIVETING TALE CHAP!

Yep, time to drop the lb until Lead the Wind is no longer required to make it not suck. Bolt/incinerator, time to dust you off!

Loading.4503:

Would it be op if merciless hammer removes stability off a target if you use a cc?

I actually like that idea and would make it a viable weapon choice.

Invictus.8751:

Really disappointed with the new look, here an inspirational photos (always in my opinion) of how a nice legendary bow looks:

kitten , that is dope as hell and would fit my dark abyss and blue dye theme so well! ugh

Linnael.1069:

You should probably be aware that taking full dire gear is kind of looked down upon by alot of the roaming community. There’s a very good reason no dire amulet was ever released for PvP. Not a big deal, but be ready for some rude whispers.

Really? Why should anyone care? You know… because roamers always build with the utmost honor and skill in mind. (chuckle)

Unless World vs. World ever goes the structured route like sPvP build what you want. There is so much cheese absurdity all over World vs. World that there isn’t any point in caring what XYX player thinks about your build or gear choice.

This, I run the cheesiest solo roaming warrior build possible, I get hate tells and accused of hacks, that’s the fun part.

I figured zerk would be something like this, doing more damage as you take more damage. Maybe have a bar or skill on f2 that when you take X amount of damage in berserk mode you let out a warcry that turns condis into boons and deals aoe damage or supports allies. Idk.

PLEASE BRING BACK SHADOW ASSASSIN OUTFIT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

Just go with my Roaming Regen druid build. Can’t go wrong, offers condi and healing+support. Add staff if you want and keep either axe/dagger or sword/torch

zOLtAm.7824:

Isnt it a lil too big for a shortbow?

Agreed, whats the longbow gonna look like? This? (not that I would complain)

Here are the answers you seek. As much as I despise having more and more necros roaming around that new players can simply smash they faces into the keyboard and kill with. Have fun.

MH shouldn’t be a GM trait imo

Salamander.2504:

Cool post. I’d also add that the berzerker (condi/hybrid) has the same role as the core warrior (power; zerker ammy) so your analysis extends to the warrior class as a whole. Warrior plays more like a thief in a teamfight at the moment except for the 12 seconds when zerker stance is up. It’s frustratingly common for me to burst someone down (on a core warrior) in a teamfight and drop 100b to find myself the only one cleaving and no one going for the stomp.

Happens to me all the time, had a fight at mid today, 3 people were surrounding their downed teammate, I charged in, while 3 of my teammates were in mid with me, so a 4v3 with 1 downed enemy, I burst the thief down, hit an Arc divider and managed to down 1 other, I got killed and stomped out immediately, rallying the thief, then he rezzed the necro and went south from there. Just needed at least 1 stomp while I was cleaving =(

Working fine for me, it’s just something new and fun, idc about most efficient. I’ll play it for awhile, then back to sword and board vaniller GS.

I’m sure you’ll be the first one they call, right after everyone else that already made the same post.

You just running the meta battle build?

I don’t blame them. 99% of them are salt posts. Including some of my own, but, I main a warrior, I can cry a tear here or there.

I was playing a full gyro setup in spvp, was actually pretty fun, not optimal but fun.

Every profession forum you go to, they are crying how under powered they are compared to other classes. Every single one.

Everyone needs a nerf
Everyone needs a buff

Squints

Not sure if OP is trolling or…

I’m just confused now lol

I think defense has some great lines, don’t think hammer would fit there well anymore. I personally find hammer fine, I run it, especially with my current Reaver build I just posted. My only qualm with it is I wish Earthshaker did not have the jump animation, but just a large aoe smash with little wind up time that had the same effect. Also, a gap closer, if we got something on hammer similar to 3 on Scrapper hammer, id be one happy camper.

Just all over the place and lacks synergy.

Thorfinnr Sleggja.1209:

Interesting concept.

Could you go through a typical fight rotation?

Looking forward to those vids to see how it works.

Absolutely. Typically depends what I’m fighting, I always start off being defensive, just to test and see what they try to do and what they may have, most of the time it’s a very patient fight, the sigils do the damage, but you do a lot yourself too. Like Choppy said, chaining interrupts isn’t your best bet. I normally bait the stuns, everyone thinks youre going to line up huge bursts, which you will but not initially, don’t get me wrong, some people you will absolutely obliterate, most people actually. If it’s a smart player I try to use my interrupts spaced out, and during clutch times. Bait the stun breakers and punish.

Choppy.4183:

I’ve thought about working in the different interrupt sigils into builds too. Personally, I’d go Defender as you mentioned, solely because of how much you could be kited when running this build and because you have no escape. The sustainability would be very handy.

For a damage-oriented rune choice, you’re probably best off with Pack runes. The extra precision along with good Fury uptime will let you take better advantage of that high Ferocity you have going. I think the benefit would be better than what you’ll get from Strength Runes. Others worth considering, along with tweaks to your consumables, are Eagle and Scholar, both of which I suspect will do more for you than Strength.

Scrapper runes would be a middle path between the total offense and defense approaches above.

Looks like it might be fun, though. Just be mindful to not chain your cc’s like you normally do with a hammer. You need to give them time to start activating a skill before you cc them again. Stability on your opponent is obviously what’s going to hurt you the most.

Great suggestions, fun is an understatement, and I usually just wait for stab to be over while playing defensively, the very very rare scrapper and Rev give me issues, but those classes are over the top to begin with so I don’t get too salty.

Here is a video of a thief using the runes. To give you an idea of damage/healing.

I hate it. A lot. Sorry.

I call this the Reaver build. WvW only unfortunately. I have run every Warrior build imaginable since inception. This build is the stupidest, most op, and dirtiest build I’ve ever played. I feel dirty. Plain dirty. The damage is unmatched. People have invited me to group asking me what the hell I was running, even had one guy accuse me of hacking.

The power lies here. In this sigil.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Sigil_of_Draining

Does 1140 damage on interrupt.
Steals 1023 health on interrupt.
NO BLOODY COOLDOWN (YOU WUT MATE)

Before anyone whines about lack of mobility, you need to learn to swap in GS/sword for kiting, if you can’t you have no business here in the first place. But you can stay in the fight and take down multiples quickly, you have plenty of sustain if you time your interrupts, and not mash buttons.

-231% crit damage
-2600 power before might stacks
-45% crit chance
-33% chance for might on critical with 20% boon duration + strength runes for insane might stacking
-2600 armor (More with RR)
-Almost 20k hp (plenty with this build)
-Intelligence sigil on Hammer for swap OP smash combos.
-Healing and extra tough with RR. You have 2, you can drop bulls charge and pick up Outrage, but I like the extra interrupt.

EVERY TIME you interrupt a foe, you do stupid damage AND heal. You have a lot of interrupts with this build. If you wanna get real dumb with it, you can drop strength runes, and pick up Runes of the Defender for even more insane sustain.

If you wanted to make it more cancerous, I suppose you could go for distracting strikes, but that’s not my cup of tea.

Working on recording some fights right now, but I’ve won every single 1v1 and 1v2 I’ve had. Stay tuned.

Choppy.4183:

Eh… will keep playing warrior, and the game generally, as long as I keep having fun. Besides, I’m already a Legendary Grand Champion Hello Kitty Island Adventurer, so that’s out.

Lel. I’ll more than likely keep playing, I enjoy it, I enjoy Warrior period.
