rapier and canons are the all new soon to be weapon types then..
IC has always been there since forever..
it helps early mesmer lvls. and we took it for granted.
many people than fear the power of the mesmer, and anet answer their calls
we got nerf over and over again.
some of those nerfs.. are the increase cooldown on all phantasm summons and some of em are increase cooldown in phantasm attacks.
we mesmer manage to get through each and every one of those nerfs..
because IC have always been a crutch to soften its pain. from nerfs after nerfs.
and the devs always nerfs us with IC in mind. and expect all builds take it by default.
now.. they taken IC from most builds. the IC that always been there for us. but they left the compilation of cooldown nerfs intact.
while i think that phantasm health increase gives us some edge, it wont cover the empty spot that IC has opened.
now.. we are forced to part with IC in most of other builds.

now, we lose a lot of crit chance to make a great swordbuild though, …
feels weird not having either berserkers power or heighten focus..
axe auto feels real weak.. sword main hand seems slightly better..
there’s this aura from the new traits that’s scream to me to use adrenaline extensively..
movement speed feels slightly boosted.
to be condition managing, seems like i have to specifically trait for it.
zerker build seems really awkward..
good that you have move on from overgaming..
my toxin lvl are still far above the charts ! ><
did i miss something?
Illusionary Celerity is moved to minor grandmaster trait.
^ this alone is big enough nerf to overshadow all buffs.
I’ve used this since.. forever..
all builds i use take this traits..
im really disappointed with the nerf. and i feel kitten not using this trait..
good job anet.. good job.!
try cof p1. be a gold maker bot like what it is meant to do.!
oh… don’t forget the food..
it happen to me very often.. since i am using an unstable slow connection..
I usually do open world pve,.. but time to time i die from 5+ mobs.
the down lv-ing are pretty unforgiving to laggers sometimes =P
they have this guideline that one class must not resemble other class at all..
giving protection and sustain will only make a warrior another guardian..
which sadly,.. is the thing warrior lacks the most..
looking at how they keep deleting posts that links the leaked list..
there’s a big chance that that list is the real deal,.. and it really is leaked..
you know.. theres this groups of people that think that gw2 will get destroyed to oblivion by eso once its comes out..
its a good thing that they’re reviewing, rechecking, retesting, rewriting everything before the final release. better than a rushed re-balance release that makes a rise in the sea of sorrow’s water with tyrians tears.
read manga / watch anime.
Yep your Warrior doesnt have aegis to autoblock, you have only pasive 4sec and active 4sec Endure Pain for 8 sec imute to DMG, shield stance 3 sec block etc, Warrior so weak sorry =(
Yes. In theory, but you seem to forget the 90sec cooldown on Endure Pain, and the 30sec cooldown on shield stance.

How long do you think the Thief would survive against Warrior ? : D Warrior have best DPS in this game,HP poll ,armor,many controls ,11sec imunite vs direct DMG and fast mobility.
What would you want ? Button on the /kill all playrs within a radius 50 meters ?
1.kill fast! if the warrior dont go glass cannon, he won’t have enough dmg to kill you anyway,.
2. blind. most control you’re talking about are just hammer skills, or a utility which has a huge cooldown.
3. stealth. disengage and heal to full health before harassing again.
4. bait. wait for those skill to be used. chances are,.. he’s vulnarable without recovery, after.
endure pain has 90 sec cd. and cost a utility slot that could be a condition removal, stability, or a combo starter.. its REALLY bad!!
defy pain has a 90 sec internal cooldown!! it activates after an attack that reduce its health to bellow 25%… so a backstab for 15k will kill it without activating this trait. and you get to choose to activate it or not.. and its a frikkin grandmaster trait!!!
shield stance activates for 3 seconds and has a 30 sec cooldown!! if equiping a gigantic board isn’t enough for a hint to bait it out,.. i don’t know what will..
honestly..I doubt you’re having trouble with warrior on your thief..
you just want to look as weak as possible, to protect your class..
(well yea, no-one likes a nerf)
most thief eat warrior alive @ wvw. only skilled warrior can defeat a bad thief..
while you got stealth to disengage. recover your initiative without being seen.. warrior is a bare target for you to kill.. when most cooldown is down.
you got your homing, teleport, stealth to deliver your damage, to easily hit its target.
warrior must aim manually most of the time. with slow and clunky animation.
while toughness and vitality goes a long way for a thief.. because they have the tool to outlast the battle..
warrior only have itself.. and when most damage mitigation is on cooldown, it gets bursted pretty fast.. and heavy armor is useless to protect itself.. when it has no more block, protection, regen, stealth, auto condition cleansing, or even invulnerability.
(edited by Grounder.7381)
why thieve has more damage than my worrior ?!?
thief has more burst damage.. warrior has more pressure damage if most hit hits its target in a period of time (real good for chunking those ballooned health barred pve-mobs)..
warrior burst though.. are kinda clunky.. they have to depend on utility that have a huge timer to be good..it wont hit if the enemy is paying attention..
while thief has the mobility, stealth and homing leap skills that is spamable that ensure it hits properly, delivering its killing blow.
in a game where damage mitigation skill / trait can negates damage to more than half or zero, heavy armor doesn’t mean much, when the toons don’t have much damage mitigation in the first place.
burst damage can pretty much kill anything in this game most instantly if taken on the face.
12k health of a warrior doesn’t carry as much weight as 12k on, say. a guardian, mesmer, thief, etc…
but warriors will be getting a pvp buff anyway.. we just have to sit nicely and wait for the dev’s to finish their job.
you gotta know what you want to play, and how you play it.
play it at a slower pace,,.. relax,.. do what you like when you feel like it, and skip those boring dailies if it seems to be to much of a hassle to do..
I’m sure from time to time, anet will release more content for this game..
those take time to make, and when it did finishes, new and fresh adventure begins..
if you feel that most of the existing content is kinda boring, then maybe you should play other games in the mean while…
I see nothing’s wrong with playing more games other than only gw2.. keep things fresh..
once you get over the Bis part of the game.. you can create your play time that really suits you.. instead of rushing to finish everything.. and get burnt out afterwards
my 2 chopper =P
if you feel forced to do daily, and you HAVE to have the best in everything ingame, and feel that nothing is really worth it if it doesn’t drop loot with 700%MF-like items, then..
this game isn’t for you and you are playing it wrong
permanent out of battle speed booster.
I still believe anet is stalling for time to develop an expansion behind our backs.. those need a huge workload of most of the teams.. and they need gather some money for its cost.
or so i believe..
I never understand why people insist on playing the farm game though..
toughness is not pointless.. it can work wonderfully as an agro magnet. keeping a certain level of agro from your squishy damage dealers.! and you can survive longer..
vitality on the other hand… its only useful for more health against conditions..
give warrior shadow refuge so it can killshot from stealth.
shadow refuge should be balance for warrior, since it gives aoe ring, and it can get cc-ed out easily..
human warrior. the most basic and plain class.
I know what’s wrong here…
you didn’t pray to zommoros the night before.. didn’t you!?
..
maybe someday in a far future, we’ll get an event that let zommoros out of the forge, and get to stab him yourself.
meanwhile.. be patient, and don’t give up..
do protection calculates on the same mechanics? hm..
I’m not saying I’m better. I’m saying the game mechanics are as such that it’s so one sided that there’s nothing to do in a match other than just akitten.
You actually said several time in your original post that you were better, and it was annoying that everyone else sucked.
Of course I’m better when I’m riding with the kids on the short bus.
when burnt out, the best medicine is to take a brake.
play more fps.. and always be the leader..
profit!!
this is mythbuster at work. hope to see the result. =)
my opinion based on these links above.
for females skin.
the heavy skin looks really2 skin tight.
the medium skin looks like a waitress, or a tux if colored with celestial and abyss. minus the shoulders and head piece.
the light skin looks like a casual wear. minus the shoulder and head piece.
for males skin.
the heavy skins is not bad. minus the upper and lower body skins, which i think is weird.
the medium skins. looks good. colored it with crimson or red, and we have a certain streetfighter boss. =)
the light skins. the upper body feels like those suits you wear to work, =P other pieces could be attached to other skins though..
I think the changes are made because anet read this thread.
least we know they read the forum, and willing to make a changes because of it.
stay positive and hope for the best. =)

well.. sure.. your thief could eat warriors alive,..
now if only you could test the mechanics for -duration vs +duration.
hm…. bugfixes.
no intense class balancing for the moment..
[look at the watch]
I guess it isn’t time for the dramas yet.
xd
all i see when i log in is DEAM MORE LAG
+1000
+2000
besides the shield, i think most of these skins don’t look that good. depends though, if they actually gives off particle effect, or just plain duff skins..
well.. steal boons are already thief-like.
want to see a steal random item from enemy inventory next!
stealing loot from mobs too..
kinda agree with Op. most of my friends left already..
and lately. been feeling kinda dull,, everything feels static and stale.. nothing feels new..
most temporary event will only occupy for a few days.. discovering mini games and all.. but than.. the grind kicks in…
lemongrass vs pizza is like… protection vs +dmg%
i do think that 40% duration on consumable are a little too much..
changing this food calculation would mean nerving protection from its current state though..
take your time.. do world completion along the way..
buy up to date equipment. don’t afraid to spend karma for anything good.
(karma is ease to get @ 80)
… or …
do wvw till lvl 80.
the problem with fractal is.. its over-done by most people. people consume content.
some have thousands of tokens. tons of fractals relics and material, stashed in their banks,
if anet ever release new rewards, and skins that is buy-able with relics, people will just purchase everything. and they will vanished from fractals for good. and.. fractal skins will loose its prestige even more. (since its too ease to get)
releasing finished new content wont occupy the mass for over one second.. and maybe.. improving fractals with a known currency and purchasable reward is viewed as a waste of time and resources. and releasing rewards with a HUGE amount of needed currency will be too much of a grind for the new players.
some people have given up even when they already finish everything, except the prececusor.. (zommoros doesn’t like them).. good luck on grinding the legendary. its tedious, but that what makes it special..
never underestimate the dungeon elitists in this game.
even without a meter, they already kick people by the weapon used, class, utility used, gear skin or a downed.
uh… no.. just.. no..
don’t nerf thieves..
buff other classes that has an issue instead..
i kinda like the dmg lvl.. give a zerker build life and death situation in many cases.
at least its better than,.. mobs don’t scratch me, i one shot it.
would you get it if it is introduced as new legendary?
1k hour here. no prec.
looking at these hours always make me feel sad for some reason….
I wonder what can you pay for in gw2 that can help you win wvw / pvp with newb skills..
…exactly..!!.
try playing a korean mmo.. like dragon nest. for example..
maybe you haven’t met a real P2W yet.. thus.. the /thread.
I’ll go human.. for visibility issue.. and a “just right” height..
i’ve made a biggest norn.. and kinda regretting it, because sometimes.. its really hard to spot enemy’s animation right in front of me, cause the model blocked my view.. especially true against the smallest asura..
the question by the Op is..
How to counter get out of jail free button?
the answer..?
no one answered it.. or.. there actually no counter whatsoever..
i wish i can play chun-li with my warrior someday .
