Guild Wars 2

i meant semi zerker builds

pure zerker got -10% damage decrease.

its power builds that got kittened hard, i lost over 30% crit dmg.

Kaiyanwan.8521:

After we managed to bring up the seven other professions on par with the warrior, we can talk about buffing the warrior profession.

Until then, asking for buffs on a weapon of the warrior profession, which is better than most weapons of other classes is just not a good point to start.

lol says the mesmer.

you my friend are on top of the food chain right now, unless you are a PvE guy.

i mean come on, Axe auto attack does more damage than 100b and you don’t need to root yourself for it.

Lol? If your 100b is weaker than your axe AA, you’re doing something terribly wrong.

i think you need to update what you know about 100b and warriors in general.

GS is not even used in PvE anymore, in a fully optimised group Axe-Mace rules.

you don’t see much GS users in PvP, you see Hambows everywhere.

its considered a blasphemy zerging in WvW with a GS.

the only place GS is viable is WvW roaming.

no one with his brain will stay in your 100b, we are not talking PvE here, why i should burn my stun/immobilize, my stability and root myself so i can just damage you lesser that what my Axe auto attack can damage ? .

take off your clothes, boy.

OP, you should edit your post to … Who can kill a PU mesmer ?

when you say “BUFF MIGHT” before entering your Boss office.

when you see your brother do bad on homework and you think ….. l2p

when you see a thief get arrested on TV and you say, “Bad thief”.

when your Boss Shouts …. there is no way to put condi on him.

when you want to taste " Bowl of Curry Butternut Squash Soup" IRL.

despite the all nerfs, GS is almost still fine .

if there is a buff coming, then please buff 100b.

100b is already a hard skill to setup, but nowadays there is little incentive to even bother to setup it due to its weak damage.

i mean come on, Axe auto attack does more damage than 100b and you don’t need to root yourself for it.

going for leg specialization means ill lose Attack of Opportunity (10% damage) + Forceful GS if you take 10 points from Arms. or losing Fast hands from Discipline , i don’t think it will work .

Furious Reaction is good but it has 30s cd, i found that Deep cuts works better with Attack of Opportunity in this build, having bleeds all the time on your opponent (+10% damage) is nice, also it confuses your enemy thinking you a condi warrior, and to add this build almost got the best mobility in the entire game, leave Furious Reaction for slower builds, although melee but you can kite in this build xD .

same for Last Chance 40s cd, i don’t go all the time for Flurry > 100b , but i abuse flurry like no tomorrow, having Fury almost running all the time without using SoR, also for cleansing condis.

SoR get saved for condi cleanse, buffing to a finish a fight, stomping or “when everything fails” button.

anyway no need to argue, this build is dead tonight :P

thanks all.

big reason of using Arms trait IX (Opportunist) is because i’m running Lyssa runes, so i had to find another way to get Fury, other from SoR, and Opportunist did that nicely.

you get immobilize,Fury and bleeding(+10% damage to bleeding foes,Attack of Opportunity) just by using Flurry, which makes it a great setup skill for 100b or even Final Thrust.

i think of this build as a better version of the late “Skull crack build” with immobilize as a condi not a CC, higher mobility, higher overall crit chance, more DPS and not dependent on just one skill although less survivability.

guess this build gonna get destroyed in 2 days, hope you like the video and God helps us all.

that pretty a rare sight seeing a warrior zerging with no Hammer, nice video.

what i really want to see is Charr tanks which you could play in a mission in story mode, mobile by players, maybe 2 player a driver and a gunner or even more gunners, strong against humans, weak against towers/keeps.

every server can only build one in every bl and cost about 500-1000 supply to build.

think of it as a mobile zerg destroyer siege xD , but because you can only build one also of the high supply cost it won’t be OP.

for almost a year i use a macro for that, no issues.

Surmians flipped table

GG RoS

wow, so much hate toward warrior.

i remember back then when Warrior was mere a Clown getting everyone laughing , just when we got better sustain and anti-condi tools the warrior got better, but still the Warrior which is a melee class is the most telegraphed class in game,with no stealth, teleports, minions, pets or protection and with not the best in-battle mobility.

also FYI, Warrior is on the nerf for the 5th time in a row, so get done with your QQ already.

the problem is, ANet can’t see past Hambows, for ANet Warrior = Hambow !!, without any care for other builds just hambows, in fact Warriors are forced to go hambow to be effective in PvP because other builds are just meh,but you see, it is only good in one place, just one which is capture point PvP, you won’t see it in TDM PvP or in WvW or even in PvE .

these traits are just put in a way that you will never end with an advantage using em, on the contrary, you will end with a huge disadvantage if you ever aim to get any of em, can’t think of any build going to benefit from these.

you will get far better results in not using these traits at all.

just found out about the other traits thanks to dulfy.

but still not even one trait is useful.

on paper some traits sounds pretty good, but once you see in what tree line are they located, you will realise how trash they are.

for real.

other professions getting some very SERIOUS GM traits and balances that will benefit some of an already OP builds.

so scrolling down to see what warrior gets…….“Warriors who love to dual-wield……this trait will increase your attack speed by ten percent when wielding an off-hand axe, mace, or sword”

seriously ? so what about Warriors who “HATE” to dual-wield ?? , compared to what other professions are getting this is just ultimate MEH……

nvm, lets see warrior’s balance………. “Healing Signet will be reduced by 8%, Pin Down will be moving from a ¼ second cast time to a ¾ second cast time”

bla bla bla, QQ won i guess here nvm, lets move on.

“and a few other bugs will be fixed which were allowing more advantage than expected on the battlefield”

what ?!!! i almost got happy for a second i thought they are finally and after 2 years they will fix “Rush” or “Bulls charge” or “Flurry” bugging out, BUT reading it again VERY slowly ….. nope …….. its official they hate warriors ……. really BUGS are allowing warriors advantage ?!!

nvm, move on ….. what else warriors are getting…………….. sorry thats all about Warrior…………………………………………………!!

seriously thats it ?! and you call that a FEATURE pack ?

wow , that guy who wrote that, hates warriors so bad in a blind way.

condition is bad

who cares about gold in WvW, WvW is all about fun, PvE is boring.

hi

i wanted the fully maxed DPS build for my staff ele.

currently im using this build

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=Vl;4g2WU0-57NFZ0;9;4TT;0935A59B;44;0n;5udbTudbTn-k51;2Fb-V1-60B1G2LZR_-o-G-2i;9;9;9;9;9;9;0VRk3p

is there a better build ? runes choices, sigils, food ?

also best DPS rotation for skills to maximize Meteor Shower Damage.

thanks.

i prefer WvW as is now.

god the amount of ppl that trashtalk more than they play in PvP is a clear indication that this will be a nightmare in WvW.

never underestimate DPS guard.

but for WvW other from zerging Warrior>Guard, it got so much variety in builds that you never get bored with it.

lol at trolling in Valley

nice video…….

i wouldnt call Rifle bad, but in better shape in recent patch.

GS-Rifle is boss if played right and im seeing more warriors using it, Volley is like ranged 100b minus the cleaving also mesmers and thieves go down so easy using it.

give me your teleports and you can have my stats.

i prefer Shout heals over banners with Soldier runes, heals+condi-removals support to your team.

but if you wanted just to share Healing Signet on a mass scale xD , you might love this.

did ANet introduce some celestial food or this guy hacking?

great video, i guess im into Axe/Sh , i use Sw/Sh but man the amount of damage you put is amazing plus good survivability basically forcing most of your enemies on the defensive.

also your omelet recipe is fantastic xD

^^^

thats the problem, Warriors are forced to go hambow to be effective in PvP, that build is the source of all the nerfs warrior gets and guess what happened … you even see more hambow warriors because the nerfs destroyed some other decent builds but hambow still and got even forced upon us as warrior’s only path.

Unsuspecting Foe has recently changed, you should look for a new build.

lol ballista mastery, but can be fun sometimes.

dude you cant be real.

just be thankful that Crit isnt getting nerfed in PvP, they r nerfing it in WvW because of some PvE dungeon boss, yeah kitten logic.

ppl just want you to play Hambow so they can QQ in a legit way.

nice video………

tip : Abuse gap closers, Avoid using AoE skills.

with Sw/Sh -GS i keep the mesmer on the defensive, in some cases i interrupt his stealth skill ending the fight so quick.

perma evade/vigor/shadow-steps/stealth should get addressed.

the OP is right in some points, with the freaking huge telegraphy the warrior got its so hard to kill good players running this kind of thieves.

the funny thing ppl want it nerfed lol.

anyway, i got bigger issues with Shield Bash and Flurry bugging out.

not good trait, maybe just in PvE.

but hey Vengeance is also bad not worth activating.

S/S is beast on a condi warrior

Kravick.4906:

Juba.8406:

dont be narrow minded, the point here is going zerker/dps make you give up on some survivablity, condi-bunkers just dont give on any thing.

i met a thief that downed me in 2s on my 2.8k armor warrior he damaged me for a total of 26k killing my warrior instantly, im not even mad he sacrificed everything to get that damage something that condi-bunkers can get without sacrificing anything.

when i met that thief again, i evaded his burst and bam hes dead just one auto attack demolished a big portion of his HP, do you see condi-bunkers dead after evading their big condi attack ? nope they just stupidly face tank you and again they load you with conditions.

But conditions don’t kill you that quickly from just one person.

http://www.twitch.tv/gw2ascii/c/3575974

TOTALLY AGREED.

i use “Fast-Cast Ground Targeting” and when trying to use at max range it always a guessing game.

i want meditations will help a lot against warrior huge telegraphy.

also Zealous Blade and easier access to Retaliation and protection.

the Most telegraphed profession

almost not viable in a serious duel.

Josh Davis.6015:

The proposed changes to critical damage gear aren’t specifically PvE-focused, but focused rather on the stat weighting of critical damage itself. We’re not aiming to make crit damage unviable, just to bring it closer to other gear sets.

As for the first feature build, there will be other factors coming into play that could very well offset the changes, including reworked runes/sigils, the ability to use sigils in new combinations (including 2 on a two-handed weapon), and the profession balance changes. Just something to keep in mind.

sorry but nerfing crit dmg for WvW doesnt make sense at all, while PvP was excluded from this nerf because crit was fine there, also crit is fine in WvW.

sorry but WvW is a victim of double standard here.

also condi-bunkers can use two-handed weapons, i don’t know how two-handed weapon 2 sigils can only be viewed as a buff to just power builds ?!!!!!

But conditions don’t kill you that quickly from just one person.

max condtion dmg can kill fast and stick on you and damage over time plus it ignores your toughness, its like fire and forget missile, unlike physical when thief burst stops it stops no more damage.

Jocksy.3415:

" you can just load up on Condi Dmg stat and your other two can be defensive, whereas Power based builds need all three stats to be offensive ones to be effective (Power, Precision, Crit)"

I do not have hard numbers.
But it seems obvious to me that someone that deals damage over time needs tools to survive over time.

Lets say someone takes twice as long killing a mob in conditions as it takes someone in berserkers…
Even in full dire, one does not reach twice the health and toughness as a zerker has…

So yeah, seems all right, given that in most situations direct damages are preferred to conditions…

dude conditions also ignores Armor.

now thats what i call preemptive QQ
