Guild Wars 2

ascended armor + infusion slots is a good deal to me.

6 Resilient WvW Infusion = 30 toughness + 6% decreased damage from guards, that will help a lot soloing fully upgraded camps.

10/0/30/30/0 sure is tanky, but not using hammer in a commanding build is such a waste. I actually prefer this.

You get lots of control, lots more toughness. And with all your stances you can become immune to everything, CC, Conditions, and damage. The damage you get with the knight/cavalier mix is so much better than the health from full soldier.

You want the health. You want full PVT. Ignore damage, your one and only concern is staying alive. Forget damage. I can’t see the build but running full stances is what I do. However, shout is still a brilliant option.

The difference in effective health between full knight/cavalier and full soldier is only 10k,

how did calculate it ? i’m seeing close to 20k difference in effective health

i was reading and thinking those guys are so old school then i checked the date xD

shame on you Smochi.5081 :P

Tom.8029:

My issue with this is it seems to me that they can have good damage, while having good defense, health regeneration, and speed.

lol

even in power builds if you consider the bleeding damage then Sword Auto is not bad at all with more bleed stacks it can surpass GS auto damage, plus the cripple on auto makes it way better than GS/Axe auto.

Savage Leap a gap closer and a cripple, flurry beast immobilize skill ,Final Thrust an Eviscerate that doesn’t consume adrenaline and you wonder why people use Axe instead of Sword.

Julie Yann.5379:

Easy fix, nerf GS #5 the same way they nerfed Ele’s RTL. I main a warrior and would totally be fine with that. It would slow down the GS/Sw-X troll warriors without wrecking other viable builds.

really ?! comparing an AoE skill to a Single target one, plus the most bugged skill in the entire game ?.

yeah nerf it and make our duels with Mesmers more laughable because of some warriors trolls , nice logic.

i just don’t feel it unless you babysit it, also it procs even if you have no conditions

how about you play warrior and see for yourself.

i’m one of the few warriors that don’t put at least 15pts in defense to get Adrenal Health and my only sustain is HS and i tell you HS alone is not enough.

Svetli.4276:

don’t go to that “damask req silk 100 bolts” you know silk cost 10c it is cheap as hell and very easy to get

You obviously haven’t look at the price or supply of silk in the last few hours.

At the rate we’re going the supply will be gone in about 10 days, and then prices get real.

actually this is good news :P

^^^

this GS+Sw build not longbow and i’m pretty sure he is not putting 30pts in Strength also if you got flurry then its better than bolas “less CD, better for swap to 100b” plus saves an utility skill slot.

aren’t Armor only accepts defensive infusions ?

i think you must cancel flurry before switching to GS or it will bug out

Flurry > move a little right or left > switch GS > 100b

i did this on the fly

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-s;4NKFO0Y47L-60;9;6TT9;419B18B3;0n;5CqNYCqNYb-kc0-g290;1vV0X5Y8ZG4L50sVGs0V;9;9;9;9;9;9;36x

should i change to knight/cavalier ?

when roaming i use GS+Sw/Sh , i eat thieves on breakfast and there is no way for you to run.

as for zerging unsuspecting foe is too valuable to let go, so i went with 0/20/30/0/20 for now and it proved itself yesterday, though still testing changing some traits/gears.

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=Vt;4NKkP0e4NL-60;9;5JT-J;156-189;157-n;56TsW6TsWh-kc0-gYO0;1wV1X6Y9ZH4Ma2i-HV1a;9;9;9;9;9;9;14-6r

seeing “Crack Shot” moved to 10pts Adapt , would you consider using Rifle ?

maybe with GS + putting 20pts in Arms to get both traits “Crack Shot” and “Forceful Greatsword” and have the best in both worlds melee+range ? , beast in underwater warfare too xD .

yeah i get so much trash runes with it but then i said let just throw them in the mystic forge …..then … dang Sup sigil of Bloodlust …. dang Sup rune of traveler … dang Sup rune of scholar.

thank you Zommoros .

hard or not, once you master the class you are unbeatable 1 VS 1

i roam with
30/20/0/0/20

why !?

i liked Scarlet xD

yep , i guess we will see a spike in DPS guardian roamers .

as for the warrior heal the only place i think it will be useful is WvW zerging.

really ?!

so condition builds who invest in just one stat to do damage are already crying about power builds that need to invest in 3 stats to do damage leaving them with med to no defense at all ?

so the meta hammer build

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-s;4NKkP0e4NL-60;9;59T-T;13;0189;125An-FAC;16TsW6TsWh-kc0-gYO0;1wV1X6Y9ZH4Ma2i-HV1a;9;9;9;9;9;9;14-6k

after Dec 10 patch will be transformed to this

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=Vt;4NKkP0e4NL-60;9;5JT-J;153-189;125-n;56TsW6TsWh-kc0;6wV1X6Y9ZH4Ma2i-HV1aN

what will you loose ?

• 10% crit damage from traits (global)
• 10% Burst damage from Burst mastery (global burst)
• 20% earth shaker nerf (hammer burst)

earth shaker Dec 10 damage = (-10% crit damage (-10% Burst damage(-20% earth shaker)))

so if your earth shaker crit damage now is 4000 after the patch it will be 2592.

a 35% nerf

i dropped endure pain long time ago and never looked back instead i use Shield Stance a better alternative no need for utility slot .

Berserker Satnce hands down our most valued utility .

Derfblue.1389:

or even zerging around in Wvw

dude its pathetic in WvW

i use Warrior’s Sprint in my WvW roaming build since i use Lyssa runes so i cant pop signet of rage all the the time .

but in PvE as said above its better to use Signet Mastery instead “20% signet cd reduction” and equip GS/S-Wh while traveling , you get 24/7 swiftness “33% faster” up time coupled with high mobility from this weapon set.

@ Defektive

not trying to change the subject but as i was a very committed BF player since 2005 i have to say it.

the last good BF was BF2 if you are really looking for the “team player” factor, also the development team is way worse in there, they cant acknowledge their bugs, bad balancing, neglecting original player base and “CoDfing” the whole series .

actually compared to DICE from a so called “BF2 veteran” view, Anet is not bad at all .

Physical skills ?

to get Ascended rings/back and 20 slot bags.

i got my Ascended gear all of them with WvW infusions slotted in, so now i want to infuse my Rings and Back item so i can put some AR to them, do i keep the already applied infusions ?

thanks but what about his face xD , i couldn’t get it right .

could anyone expert in Norn appearance help me to make an exact copy of Warmaster Forgal Kernsson

pupi.2465:

If the Sigil wasnt so expenseive, i would buy it to test, it looks very interesting in PvP, you transferring that bleeds, confusion, Necro ones (dunno their condi names) right after to their faces.

its not available in PvP, and it transfers just 1 condition.

i got the sigil but really i dont feel it when playing normally coz the 10s cd and it trigger even if there was no conditions on you, i feels it need too much babysitting to get the advantage ,you have to time your attack so you wait for a big stack of a condition then swap to Generosity weapon and attack and be sure it crits.

it needs testing i guess but i think the transfer gets first (if it triggers) because adrenaline consumption is not instant.

testing might be hard :P …..60% chance to trigger on crit + 10s cooldown + it triggers even if there is no condition on you and goes full CD

Racists!

Ellen won just because she is a human female

im in the same boat as the OP

Wallace MacBix.2089:

The runes could be pretty interesting (depending on the cd for aegis), but I don’t think I’ll be replacing the Dolyak runes on my main set, but I may try them out if I get some lucky drops.

I’m just curious, as I’m still a WvW newbie (somewhere around rank 55-60), I don’t see how the Sigil will make that much of a difference. If you are already using Knights gear an extra 250 toughness will give you what….+1.5-2.5% DR (rough guesstimate, maybe in the 56% DR range), nothing that noteworthy (compared to getting extra power/precision/condi damage at least). I could see maybe it being useful in a less tanky build though, but I don’t see it insta-replacing the extra power or condi dam that most people are using now.

there are tons of runes way better than Dolyak rune you can start replacing them right now no need to wait for the patch.

250 toughness is a lot if you consider that signet of the dolyak passive gives 180 toughness.

250 toughness = 27% of the pure zerker warrior toughness
250 toughness = 10% of the tankiest warrior toughness

depends on the build.

in my case , Necros, Guardians and d/d thiefs

the OP build

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-s;4NKkP0e4NL-60;9;59T-T;13;0189;125An-FAC;16TsW6TsWh-kc0-gYO0;1wV1X6Y9ZH4Ma2i-HV1a;9;9;9;9;9;9;14-6k

so Signet of Might activates Aegis and ignore it on the enemy in the same time

well that is why you take another set beside GS.

GS is fine if there is anything it needs is a faster auto attack.

Warrs got the worst hands down agreed.

rangers got the best

HS alone is not OP

but stacking it with adrenal health + healing shouts/banners might be strong.

i personally have a roaming zerker build with HS the only sustain i got, why i should be nerfed because some warrs stack it with adrenal health + healing shouts/banners + healing power ?

Peow peow.2189:

Why do they act this way? Is something wrong with the warrior?

only if your warrior name is Chop chop.

^^^

really !? i imagine you take 10 mins to solo a single camp

GS is fine, just give it faster auto attack.

if you are serious about WvW you would eventually get em, if you are serious about WvW you wont care if anyone got em.

WvW never balanced and never will be unless you get rid of foods, utilities, Ruins, Guild Buffs and Ascended/exotic gear if that what you want then better go sPvP.

its not over until we say so.

my fellow Surmians, Fear not this “Drakkar”

OMG Wqrriqr is OP, nerf Plox.

to TAG Guardian female norn with the title champion paragon , nice fight yesterday at Vale sentry RoF Bl, enjoyed every bit of it.

FSs RoS Warrior.

Korlash.4639:

*Strike – Damage: 296 (0.8)
*Greatsword swing – Damage: 259 (0.7), Vulnerability: 8 s
…
*Wrathful Strike – Damage: 443 (1.2), Might: 5 s
*Brutal Strike – Damage: 333 (0.9)

Result: Guardian AA is definitely stronger than warrior, and im not sure if vul stacks will ever make up for that. Lets continue:

*Whirling Wrath – Damage (9x): 1,251, Combo Finisher: Whirl,

Also has a chance to hit mid range targets (600meters), mobile at reduced speed on 3/4 casttime

*Hundren blades – Damage (8x): 1,624 Final strike damage: 406

Immobile on 3.25 casttime

Result; while everyone says HB is a high risk high reward skill offering massive dps i completely can’t agree on that one. Its do provide high dps but over time. But what if there was no cd on those abilities?

-1 casttime of HB is equal to 4 (rounding up) Whirling Wraths for a total 5004 damage. But thats not everything

-“The spin hits 7 times and throws 7 projectiles, for a total of 14 possible hits on a single target”

-Standing inside ur enemy actually doubles damage making it on par with HB, but unlike HB casttime last olny 3/4sec making HB a pretty poor skill in comprasion. Yet making HB mobile would be OP? Lets continue:

*Leap of Faith – Damage: 406 (1.1), Blind: 3 s, Combo Finisher: Leap, Range: 600
*Whirlwind Attack – Damage: 259 (0.7), Combo Finisher: Whirl, Evade: 3/4 s, Range: 450

for Leap:
-reliable damage
-blind
-better scaling with power
-15cd.

For whirl:
-unreliable damage
-damage while evading
-worse scaling with power

Result; i olny compared utilities as both of these skills has different job to do. Is there a point to continue? I don’t think so.

*Bladetrail – Damage: 277 (0.75), Crippled: 4 s (can be counted as 2x), Combo Finisher: Physical Projectile, Range: 900

A slow projectile to slow down enemy. How ironic inst it? Current problem is that in many cases projectile doesnt return as its getting obstructed on terrain, is fairy easy to avoid just by running in circles…

*Symbol of Wrath – Damage (5x): 925 (2.75), Retaliation: 1 s (x5), Combo Field: Light

Nice combo right here, lay down a symbol and use whirling wrath to clean conditions, after that leap for addiotional 5s of retal, just to make life easier. Damage wise+utility? No commend.

*Binding Blade – aoe pull, if not used dealing damage over time
*Rush – everyone knows.

In terms of utility guardian gs wins hands down
In terms of mobility warrior gs wins without a doubt
In terms of power scaling? Obviously guardian gs.
In terms of synergy? Guardian gs without a doubt.
In terms of damage? I vote for guardian gs. Where do u place ur vote?

I do know that warrior gs has a trait for might on crit, but due to it low power scaling is not all that great as it seems to be, at the same time guardian can trait to heal per strike of gs. I do probably made some mistakes so correct me if im wrong, i am not a pro at calculations ; )

+1

but nubs QQ will never stop, even Mobility the only advantage it got over Guard GS they want it stripped.

the only thing i think War GS needs is faster Auto Attack, you cant really compare it to a heavy weapon like Hammer which logically should be slower and more damaging than GS, but its not the case, GS Auto attack is indeed weaker but got the same speed as hammer.
