Guild Wars 2

They only nerfed rifle specs, but that’s it.

+ More mobility
+ Ranged damage
+ Soft CC
+ More dmg conditions other than burning
+ Stealth with Trapper runes

It’s all in the mechanics, it’s all in the numbers. Gameplay, play-style, ease of play… you name it. That’s what matters in the end.

This is all your average guardian ever asked for and more.

Now we have yet to see how the respective traits and traps compete with the already extremely competitive shouts and meditations. Traps may very well be ranged and throwable and may also have amazing effects once triggered.

If traps are not your thing, it also seems to have great sinergy with meditations, Wings of Resolve x2 with Renewed Focus for a double leap sounds amazing already (no need to use traits for that though!).

All this fuss about the name and the traps only shows the power of baseless perception.

I could care less about the name.

Weapon kits.

This one would be great. Actually.

I saw someone that linked 6 portals 2 days ago. lol

Which means they got 1 gold 50 silver if they decided to sell them to an NPC.

Portals don’t actually matter, they’re just a means to flag an account, which is why it doesn’t matter even if you lose them as the account has already been flagged.

I know, I was just pointing out the mere curiosity of the chances of that happening.

Ignavia.7420:

I just bought the chaos longbow skin, so by Murphy’s Law guardians will get shortbows.

Don’t worry, guardians are getting a longbow.

I saw someone that linked 6 portals 2 days ago. lol

Diovid.9506:

The combination of utility/healing/elite skills, traits and changed/added profession mechanics (such as an F5 ability and alacrity) together are far more important than whether or not you get 2 new weapon skills or 5 new weapon skills.

In practice, that’s not true, at all. Weapon skills are the ones you press 90% of the time, they are the prime build defining feature of any build and playstyle.
No matter how they twist it, some professions getting 5 weapon skills and others getting only 2 is an enormous difference.

The trait is just not wothy of being a GM, Cleasing Ire and Last Stand (specially with trait merges) are significantly stronger and more valuable traits.
They should boost it up to 33% at least, and even then it wouldn’t be as strong as Last Stand post patch.

Ouroboros.5076:

iTB.1428:

going even more tanky for shoutbow is useless, you need more DPS

Now that you don’t even need to go Discipline for shouts recharge, why not even going into something else ? Like Arms, to get massive amounts of Fury and bleeds on crits.

Becouse of Fast Hands. Realistically speaking, all Warrior builds only have 2 specializations to choose from.

Tiale.2430:

+1 to CC, Ranged Dmg and MOBILITY.

Shoutbow builds in general are going to be incredibly strong.

6 hours in. I’ve only seen a single drop linked in chat. This RNG idiocy is almost cruel.

UPDATE: It just dropped for me! After 7 straight hours of nonstop farming. I don’t really farm, like, ever, just this time I really wanted to get into the beta, it seems my persistence paid off. I was doing all events and killing every mob on sight. It dropped from a skritt during an event in the Dry Top map. My magic find was 155% or so at the time of the drop.

UPDATE 2: My bother just got his portal 2 hours ago. I think we are set! I still think this RNG crap is madness.

Double Moa or double Time Warp with F5, activate signet of illusions, summon 3 phantasms in a short time span with F5 + SotE for huge damage, then proceed to shatter in the face = gg.

Or you know, double portal?

I got mine after farming events and killing mobs in Dry Top after 7 hours. I wont go crazy like that anymore.

They said the Critical Strikes line was too strong, well maybe in PvE only and even then it was taken mostly for Executioneer and the additional +300 precision and +300 Ferocity which wont be the case anylonger. Deathly Arts was the go-to line for a while now, it’s really, really strong currently. And now it’s getting the Executioneer trait or a significantly buffed version of Improvisation on top of it, and you can now take one these in addition to Panic Strike.

If that wasn’t enough. they can now fully take the Shadow Arts trait line, now with ridiculously OP traits such as Resilience of Shadows for free. Now they can go all the way to this trait line and can also get Regen on stealth or stealth on steal in addition to one of the most broken traits in the game which was even buffed: Shadow’s Rejuvenation. Shadow’s Embrace is also absurdly strong as it removes a condition upon entering stealth and after the 3s interval, this is the only condi removal trait they only ever need against conditions.

Also Basilisk Venom now has 2 stacks.

Is like everything a Dagger/Pistol thief could dream of and then some. No other profession even with additional grandmaster traits comes even close to this.

We all know that is all a work in progress, but they specifically asked us about what we think about these specific changes. Well, there it is.

I’m going to heavily question ANET’s balance capabilties if this spec ever realeases like this.

Anet nerfing something because of player QQ? Never seen that before.

I think no other qq had multiple daily nerf threads, 3 everyday, at least.

Unkillable 15s CD 1550 range Ride the Lightning eles back in the day.
Heartseeker and Backstab thieves near release.

Shieldbash.5304:

Whats up with Hammer? I see no merciless Hammer trait and nothing on the weapon as for changes? Does it still exist ?

Hammer is a perfectly viable and reasonable weapon which already gains lots of sinergies from either damage traits: Berserker’s Power, other more CC oriented traits such as Leg Specialist or Body Blow or even crit oriented traits such as Unsuspecting Foe or even Rending Strikes. The weapon with its trait gains enough damage as it is, and the weapon skills are all good and have their purposes. Maybe Earthshaker has pathing issues but that is not related to balance.

Juba.8406:

Disagree with Final Thrust change.

Final Thrust is fine currently, you chopped 5s off the CD for no apparent reason.
BTW i use Final Thrust even on full health targets still does decent damage.

Disagree with 100b change.

With the new Forceful GS + Zerk power, 100b is back as (Hard/risky to setup But High rewarding skill), please no more damage nerfs.

Totally agree on Defiant Stance change.

The idea behind the Final Thrust suggestion is that it gets more use to targets above 50% health. Most finisher skills are usually stand alone finishers only and are spammable when the health threshold is reached (in the case of many other MMOS), we have the case of Heartseeker here. Final Thrust as such, is not a spammable finisher, and its use is remarkably narrow, this suggestion would promote more active use.
If you use it on foes with higher HPs you risk having it on CD when its damage really matters, therefore, in practice, it just doesn’t get used until it’s time to execute, this shouldn’t be the case on a weapon skill (even with such a recharge). This doesn’t promote healthy play (healthy play patterns as they so call it).

Regarding Hundred Blades. The idea behind it is to promote more fluid play. I don’t know about you, but every Warrior I know would prefer slightly lower numbers on it and be able to use it while moving. Sitting there watching an (long) animation is just not fun and reduces build possibilities on its own. The numbers could still be the same for all I care, you’d be moving 50% slower aferall.
Not many people remember that Whirling Wrath once was a static skill, those few people remember how much more viable and fun the weapon became when said skill was now able to be used while on the move. And the numbers on this one weren’t touched either.

Warrior HoT Balance comprenhensive feedback

First things first!: All numbers would be subject to change, mechanics are what’s important here!

Note: This is mostly an effort from several warrior players across various servers. I’ve only been compiling the feedback and adding a few things on my own.

Note 2: Comments and explanations are in spoiler tags.

Love all these SA thieves defending this incredibly broken trait. It’s been known to be an OP trait for years now (always banned on duels), it hasn’t been complained about in the sPvP sphere as much as it couldn’t be reached by other conquest meta builds, and turtling with stelath is not an effective strat on that mode.
Let them live their own illusion of joy, Verilan. As if stealth alone wasn’t the strongest de-target, defensive and reposition tool in the game on itself already. It will get nerfed or changed entirely eventually.

Some are even comparing the healing potential to guardians and eles, depicting themselves as not very clever (to say the least), not even naming they are completely different professions altogether, the obvious.

My suggestion: your next X succesful attacks after getting out of stealth heal you for X amounts. This buff lasts X seconds.
Now you have to attack and succeed at it in oder to gain that sustain. This promotes getting into stealth, but not camping it and cheese ‘turtling’ the fight when getting totally outplayed, so you’re forced to actually attack, but that risk is rewarded by heals if you succeed. If you wait too long, you lose the buff, if your attacks fail (get blocked, blinded, evaded, etc.), you don’t get healed, so it has counterplay as well.

What about SA? Rofl. 6/0/6/0/6 D/P thieves are going to be godmode.

Everyone says Sword is going to be a full melee set, but what about 2 elements being melee while the other two being ranged? I know, right? Too crazy.

MarkPhilips.5169:

Honestly 6 6 6 scares me a little, there a lot of super power combination now for many classes, i think anet will do an intensive traits movement/rework at the beginning.

Cele eles with Cleansing Water, Evasive Arcana PLUS Stone Heart or Diamond Skin? Lmao, no, just no. Of course there will be some significant rebalance there. Or Fresh Air with Water and Arcane?

Nike.2631:

Khenzy.9348:

I hate when a company knee-jerk reacts to complaints and proposes a quick and poorly thought out way to end them.

‘Kneejerk’ would imply that turret engies haven’t been under scrutiny for a while now. We all know that’s not true. Actual ‘kneejerk’ response would have been taking action 6 months ago… We all know that didn’t happen either.

Try a different way of belittling the Devs into reversing a decision you don’t like, because they are laughing out loud at that attempt.

They can do to turreteers anything they so desire for all I care (even though I don’t agree with their direction). I still think it’s a knee-jerk reaction (as in a response based on prejudice, not thought) to calm down the complaints, or else such balance changes would have been made a long time ago. There are so many other balance outliers right now, yet they choose to talk about only, and only turrets. Come on.

I hate when a company knee-jerk reacts to complaints and proposes a quick and poorly thought out way to end them. Just make them scale with the engineer’s stats: tanky but poor damage engie = tanky but poor damage turrets.

The most concerning thing here is you reacted to complaints (too late), you should have prevented them in the first place or shouldn’t have allowed these for so long.

Also turrets are not the only problem, Engineers have too much easy access to protection.

Don’t forget about their celestial variants please, thank you. If you’re only going to balance turrets only, it means you’re just knee-jerk reacting, which is totally unprofessional.

Make HB the melee version of Rapid Fire. Nerf the damage, shorten its cast time a little bit, you can use it while on the move (alter the animation accordingly) and each strike applies vulnerability. Tada! GS warrs just became a thief counter. And the GS itself became much more fluid and fun.

They do a lot of damage (and CC) for how tanky they are, it’s just as simple as that. But please, don’t forget about their celestial counterparts, I consider those even stronger. Also, don’t totally give in to the more vocals though, there are other outliers as well such as the ever mentioned cele eles, zerker thieves and so on, if you’re going to do a balance pass soon, don’t forget about those as well.

Vikkela.7261:

I don’t see anything wrong with it; 6% less crit chance, 19% less crit dmg and 60 less power for 2,27k health and 295 more armour compared to a full berserk exotic variation… He should be good to go to start with this (losing crits on a powermedi is always a big thing though)

EremiteAngel.9765:

the build you gave him looks very good. except he needs more crit chance. try to push for at least 50% with food and accessories which I think he will get in time with the ascended ones.

He reaches up to 44% crit chance by just changing the stone to an oil, which I think it’s just fine as a mediguard (while being somewhat tanky, of course).

I made him the ascended version: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAR7dlsApaodDxcI8DVR8QlZK+i2UVAgz1/QQkDA-TVDGABDqCib7PckyAjUS9oqABqyARKVEUNiy0NAwTAoCNMHcRA8TJYAAEgbezsZbGc0je0je0j2Rv5Nv5NPapAeaCA-w

45% crit chance, which I think should be enough to retain that tankiness, I changed Air and Fire sigils for blood ones (or maybe leeching would be better?), becouse more sustain… why not?

If that crit chance is not enough I’ll tell him to try and change some stuff around. I’m glad it’s at least a decent build, thanks for your answers!

Hello there! I have a friend that’s pretty new to the game and I was thinking on giving him a roaming build with a Guardian (it’s the class he prefers to play right now), I came up with something like this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAR7dlsApaodDxcI8DVR8QlZK+i2UVAgz1/QQkDA-TlzDwA7Uqcf/BeKpgqMwlKEFOCAAM9c4BA0StAP6eeoEkgJIIXEgXqqEAABgjGIFwTbBA-w

It’s the meta sPvP medi build (well, the GS one, not the Hammer one), I made it relatively tankier instead of full berserker as he’s new and he doesn’t even have guard stacks.

What do you guys think? Is there any other way he could gear his guardian that could potentially be more optimal? For instance, is Selfless Daring worth it instead of something like Fiery Wrath for added sustain? Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

No? anyone? =/

Leap of Faith CD reduced to 10s base.

Flashing Blade no longer requires a target to perform the teleport.

Smite is now considered a symbol.

Bonus:

Binding Blade maximun leash range increased to 750, aftercast of this skill significantly reduced.
Pull (Binding Blade chain) casting time reduced to 1/4s, aftercast of this skill significantly reduced.
Ring of Warding can now be used while moving.
Shield of Judgement cast time reduced to 1/4s, now it also dazes targets for 1/4s. Cannot be blocked.
Shield of Absorption proyectile blocking bubble now persists for its full duration regadless of detonation and follows you around.
Detonate Shield of Absorption now provides 5 seconds of regeneration in addition to the current heal. It no longer makes the proyectile blocking bubble dissapear.
Cleansing Flames now cleanses up to 3 conditions from you and your allies, cast time reduced to 3s. Initial precast time significantly reduced. Base CD increased to 20s.

+1 The adenaline decay nerf was too severe.

Wallace MacBix.2089:

But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a bit ridiculous how quickly it drains. If you’re low on life and at max adrenaline, you’ll run out of adrenaline before you fully heal, it’s happened to me multiple times in PvP and is very annoying to have to start a fight with no adrenaline and not at full hp.

Indeed. And this shouldn’t happen, ever.

I’m liking the Idea of up to 50% decay OOC. +1 to that one.

This spec provides a somewhat effective feeeling of accomplishment to those new entry players that are trying spvp, but it’s a spec that will possibly do more harm than good in the long run as it tends to be a very frustrating spec to fight against for many players. If DPS warriors, DPS necros, and other relatively easy to learn specs were more effective, I think we would have a healthier meta. The complete dissapearance of turret engineers, and slightly tunning down DPS thives and certain celestial specs would help with that in my opinion.

I just formatted my PC, the game just runs fine without the SweetFX files: d3d9.dll, dxgi.dll and log.log in the bin folder. Once I put them in the bin folder, the launcher automatically crashes with the following error:

—> Crash <—
Assertion: Failed to load Coherent DLL: 0xc1
File: ..\..\..\Engine\ArenaWeb\CoherentUi\AwCoh.cpp(46)

I really want to play the game with SweetFX on, it looks like crap otherwise.

Is there any kind soul that could help out here?

Is really the exclusivity their grindy and RNG based nature provide the one you seek?

We are in a meta where Warriors are support and Guardians are DPS! Who would’ve thought!!!?

…

BUFF DPS Warrs plz. =P

ZeftheWicked.3076:

Honestly i see taunt attached to “On my Mark!” shout. But that’s just me;]

I’ve always wondered why this skill never applied revealed in the first place.

You have to be a little shortsighted if you think a 50% uptime on a proyectile blocker such as this one will stay as it is come release (or shortly after it).

I donno, I just hope they get rid of that terrible decay system too. I played very very casually and I was often teamed up with terrible team mates or against terrible teams, I had like 70 to 80% win ratio, I had to carry hard most of the time, that was totally unfun as well. There was no way I could ever reach high positions, of course.

I stopped trying and I just went to unranked with non-meta builds and with classes I don’t handle as well. I stopped playing entirely, eventually.

I’m voting for a MH Pistol or just a MH ranged weapon, it’s what Warriors are lacking currently.
Shield (blocks), Warhorn (condi cleanse) with melee and range in the same build? That’s crazy good.

Dondagora.9645:

Thus, nothing lost, your panic is for naught.

Khenzy.9348:

I want to try that sweet new weapon, class mechanic and whatever, but with the FH trait, or its effect.

nicknamenick.2437:

Sumusikoo.1360:

If this happens I’m rerolling

I think i am already rerolling to revenant.. the skills looks so kitten good!
Just hope the playstyle is good because you cant swap weapons.. so maby it starts to be boring real fast.. dunno

Revenant wont be my main, definetly. That class, from what we know so far (and from what Izzy said in an interview), is designed to have like 0 (cero!) mobility out of combat (compared to other professions, of course). That alone is a big nono for me.

…,you lose Fast Hands?

I, personally, wouldn’t stand playing my (insertspecname)Warrior with a 10 second weapon swap, ever.
Is anyone else concerned that this might happen? I don’t want to lose my favorite trait in the entire game.

We know specializations are getting a new trait line, and most likely it’s going to be replacing an existing one, Discipline has the most chances. That would mean losing Fast Hands! Maybe the Warr spec is getting an even better one (no CD on weapon swap anyone?). I want to try that sweet new weapon, class mechanic and whatever, but with the FH trait, or its effect.

I donno… but it’s a concern I’ve been having for a while, hopefully I’m not the only one…

They actually buffed teleports, not only with the camera changes, but when there’s a place you can’t port to, the ability is not wasted.
