Guild Wars 2

why are staff threads being deleted but not rifle?

Tringsh.2380:

FYI every thief/Staff forum thread has been deleted. This hasn’t been the trend for rifle threads. Your thoughts?

This what I am curious about as well.

I am confused about that Karka. where is it?

choovanski.5462:

EroticAndHeretic.7398:

In fact, I feel like these weapons enphasis further on control instead of damages, as many traits are when interrupting, althought those aren’t new..

you hit the nail on the head. mace and hammer are slow weapons focused on cc, not damage. that’s their purpose, and it’s why they see little use in pve and a lot of use in pvp.

Now that i think about it, i never seen a Mace main hand warrior in SPvP.

choovanski.5462:

the ability to wield a 1h axe in two hands and have the model scale would be rad. doubt it would happen though.

Giving us Conjuration skills and giving us a Conjure Great Fire Axe would do the trick.

same for Conjure Land Spear. Which could also explain that datamine art of warrior with land spear.

I take conjure versions of them till the real deal comes in…

Juba.8406:

it needs more than that.

• Ground Targeted 600 range.
• Knock down instead of Blow out.
• 5 stacks of Stability for 2s.
• 40s cool down.

Disagree on knockdown vs Knockback. The knockback is great for SPvP point capping.

Automaton.4926:

They can swap between 2 sets of skills in combat. that means more healing/utility and elite skills in combat then the other professions. But really, does it matter if they have less? They play differently. I recommend reading the forums more since this has been talked about like everyday.

That’s still less skills. The 6-0 are like Revenant’s weapon skills since they cant switch weapon skills.

so thats less than Ele which also cant switch weapons.

5 baseline legends = 25 skills like every other class.

Elite spec Legend = 5 skills. Thats 30 skills.

Oh yeah you right.

3*6= 18 utilities, elite specialization included.

Anet you mind getting rid of the full cooldown interrupt on Stomp physical please?

Enrif.7359:

my guess, Warrior is the one Profession who does not get any new weapon, as they already have lots of options.

I read people complain that dual-wielding for Warrior is not that great anymore (mostly on axe/axe)

maybe the specialization will deal about dual-weapon skills? similar to how thief dual-wield skills are a combination of weapon 1 and 2. with the current weapons this would be 15 dual wield skills. (sword/sword, sword/axe, sword/mace, sword/shield, sword/warhorn, axe/sword, axe/axe, axe/mace, axe/shield, axe/warhorn, mace/sword, mace/axe, mace/mace, mace/shield, mace/warhorn)

All elite specialization get a new weapon. Anet words not mine.

Hammer been pretty nice. I stop playing Mace in SPvP due to the difficulty of landing burst on moving targets when the server say you didnt hit.

I also noticed Rampage is also slow now for activation of skills.

Was it always like that? Because i remember it being more smooth.

Did anybody see a warrior using Elite Spec weapon in the trailer?

Is it finally time for some buffs to Defiance Stance?

:^)
Huh Anet?

Who here uses Defiance Stance in SPvP besides myself?

It can be a bit tricky some times, and other times it can be pretty good in pvp/wvw period.

whats some additional changes you want for it?

For me, i would at least like this skill to get priority over Endure Pain when it procs.

also would love for it to have an additional effect such as a stability since it is defiance after all but may be too similar to balanced stance.

Maybe bit of regeneration on it would also be nice.

or a removal of Taunts, Stuns, Slows and Fear. ..

Another idea is for defiance stance to have some kind of effect on nearby allies when the warrior is hit. Like it could heal them for 5% of the damage taken. That could really spice this skill up.

Renn.8241:

Was this mentioned in the new trait system?

I noticed that other classes gained an increased res speed trait

but to me it looked like Warriors LOST Fast Healer

and I REALLLY liked that

Surely it wouldn’t be hard or game breaking to throw it in somewhere?

Looks like it got merged in with tactics but not mentioned. Because we still rez extra fast. Or they made it baseline which would be even better.

Is it the new meta now for SPvP?

Feel free to jump in and give feedback on my ideas for improvement.

Minors:
Determined Revival- is too niche for use in most modes. I suggest adding additional revive speed, while also perhaps making the toughness gain into a buff that starts when you start reviving and last for few seconds afterwards. This gives warrior the chance to gain the toughness while having options of not just being a sitting duck in SPvP…
Better yet How about a revamp all together? I say a better idea would be to give this this minor some kind of field effect that buffs nearby allies when you are reviving an ally or something. Cast Enraged guard- boost toughness of nearby allies and grant them fury for x seconds when you start reviving.

Reviver Might- I say replace this all together. Lets not make this another revive trait. Either Merge this with the Adept minor that is currently in the game. Make this something else that deals with combat. Grant might when you CC a enemy, or when you are CCed. Or when you are CCed, you grant stability to a nearby ally. Something other than two revive traits please.

Inspiring Presence- how about a power to healing power? or toughness to healing power. if thats too strong, just make it a boon with ICD or something. Less strick than just for might.

Tactic Specialization Feedback and suggestion:

Do you all have any suggestions or feedback you would like to give for this Trait line?

please post your thoughts for developers to look at.

Kagamiku.9731:

If we’re talking strictly damage…Ele > All in both pve and pvp. The only class I know that can almost down a shoutbow in one second if they get their combo off correctly.

Warrior wasn’t even mid-tier pvp damage before the patch. Unless we’re talking rampage. That hit like a truck.

I just saw a Engineer 1 shot a mesmer, right after just finish killing me like hot knife through butter as defense build.

traits in Build keep switching to different things I notice..

now that you mention it, this line is kind of weak now that I compare it to the others. switching.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

you leap once.
you leap again.

but you actually leap once.
but it feels like leaping twice.

most useless major grandmaster trait ever btw
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/powerful-synergy-blast-finisher-twice/5183404

here is what it will accomplish, if you leap through various combo fields

dark = blind 3 × 2 = 6 seconds? useless!
ethereal = chaos armor 5 × 2 = 10 seconds? NO! 5 SECONDS ONLY! USELESS!
fire = fire shield 5 seconds !!! not 10 !!! useless !!!
ice = frost aura 5 seconds !!! not 10 !!! useless !!!
light = light aura 5 seconds !!! not 10 !!! useless !!!
lightning = daze 1 × 2 = 2 seconds ? USELESS !!!
poison = weakness 8 × 2 = 16 seconds ? SO WHAT? CONDITIONS EASY REMOVED!!!
smoke = stealth 3 × 2 = 6 seconds ??? warrior no need stealth. warrior FACETANK ALL!
water = healing 1300 (0.5 healing) x 2 = 2600 (1 healing) well healing signet heals more than this so its USELESS AS WELL !!!

basically, fire shield, auras, chaos armor will not get time extension but simply refresh the timer on them. useless.

why did you pick tactics line if you have no use for all 3 grand master traits?

Want leg spec, and Empower Allies.

the grand masters dont interest me, but no might stack or shouts, the two are pretty much useless to me.

Make them lose Reward track progress without being able to gain rewards they already got on the track.

also make them lose rank points.

Hoes does Powerful Synergy work? little confused.

its the only trait I can pick for grandmaster since I have no shouts or might generations in my build.

lighter.2708:

high damage doesnt matter

Before the patch warrior already did way more damage then almost every one in PvP.
you will soon find out that zerker warrior still sucking for the same reason
after the patch, everyone’s damage got buffed, including warrior and thats it

no way. Engineer> All before and after patch,.

but its always in the heart of mist. cant preview ever there.

How many Hero Points for Elite Spec

Hi I suggest adding a short duration protection to the 1 skill for allies.

This need close range, and heals pretty weak. so I feel a 33% damage reduction could make up for this a bit trade off.

Hey I would like to request a few small F5 skills for Racials. I like using Racials for fun in WvW and PvE.

This could really spark some life into them.

Khenzo.2465:

It’s the art used for the tab where you learn shouts under the training bit.

I thought also it might be related to the elite spec : /

wow they got me excited there for a moment.

is that a Conjure?

No the opening is in the water about NE of the purple thing in the underwater ruin. The hole is covered by lots of plants along the wall making it hard to see.

Leon Heart XIII.4609:

I can’t help but feel most players are missing the big picture here about the HoT expansion. From what Anet has revealed that the expansion will be feature rich rather than content rich which is why some of us are trying tho justify it’s price tag is worth it.

I can’t help but feel that Anet took the cheaper and lazy way out with this expansion, I mean whats cheaper adding more features or adding actually content like several maps, quest, dungeons, armor, weapons and classes, etc.

As a person who has been spoiled by the massive expansions from WoW, Final Fantasy, and GW1, I have a high expectations when it comes to expansions content as I don’t want so little content that last like a month or two.

This is the only thing that has been eating me sense the news of HoT, and I will wait patiently until Anet reveals more later on(if they decide to after the out roar from the community) before I can make my final judgement. What do you guys think is more important to an expansion, features, content, or both and please keep your comments constructive.

I rather have features than more content that likely will never touch.

WoW’s Cata expansion is something close to what you are talking about regarding an expansion that was mostly content and little to no features and it had a major drop off in population.

More Features are more fun for me. I want Guild Building for Personal Housing honestly.,

Mea.5491:

Wait, so I can’t respend the points at all? LOL, WTF?

You have to have 3 Specializations at all times I assume. so you have to switch the Specialization out completely to reset it.

At Diverse Ledge waypoint,,

how to get to the purple vendor in LA?

Gaile Gray.6029:

There’s a new threat in Lion’s Arch. While it’s not as dangerous as Scarlet Briar and the Breachmaker, brave Lion’s Arch residents still intend to defend their beautifully rebuilt city against this latest invasion.

Head to Lion’s Arch and look for Turl Sharptooth. He’ll explain what’s going on and how you can help. After talking to Turl, head back to this thread and share your tips on how to rid Lion’s Arch of its latest, unfortunate infestation.

where is Turl Sharptooth?

This concerns a lot of us. I want Building feature.

I cant preview items anymore while in The Mist.

Yeah i know OP is being sarcastic but no point of another discussion on this.

Interesting. What time?

Could 5v5v5 be fun for a SPvP mode?

How should scoring work?

I heard that HoT will bring you this feature. Seem interesting.

skowcia.8257:

;D

Lol so true. Thinking about rerolling Engineer main…

Warlord.9074:

The only build warrior loses is rifle and power based dual wielding builds. Neither one of them were that great.

There was a couple changes like that you cant now take last stand and cleansing ire but most of the new traitlines dont have so many terrible choices.

No I didn’t say anything about builds being better or worst. Just different.
Share your old builds so we can all remember how things were, 3 + years from now.

Usually in MMOs the gameplay features change greatly over time. I remember Old AV in Vanilla WoW, and it’s much radically different from AV in today’s WoW. Not much info exist on the net regarding the old AV.

This post is for saving memories of the old system to look back on in the future when things radically change.

Who here will miss their old build after change to trait system?

This is our Time Capsule

Post your old builds here in remembrance of the Old Trait system that will be leaving us today.

RIP Old Trait System ~2015~

Just a flesh wound.3589:

They stopped making underwater weapons for the BLTC some sets back.

This.

They stopped releasing underwater skins a while back.

Think about it; there’s no proper good underwater places to fight anyway. It just doesn’t see use. Also because no one wants to fork out more gold/tickets to finish their black lion collections just for some measly underwater weapon skins that will rarely see use.

They even removed water from some parts of the game… probably due to the NPE being too confusing. I can’t source this but a lot of forum goers went and found the places (I think all the starter zones had water taken out?) so it may just be a coincidence. Ah well.

So why not bring underwater weapons to land? Why keep them underwater only? Spear would have made for a much better model option for Revenant’s Melee staff… Now the HoT staff skins have a bunch of Melee oriented skins, when we already had such a thing with Spears and some of the Trident skins….

Who here going to miss their build after the change today?

MOUNTS!!!!
Did somebody say MOUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mounts mounts mounts mounts mounts

I want MOUNTS!!!!

I know that Necromancers deal with the Dead and all,,,

But Anet maybe you taking that quote a little too literal….

Dealing with Dead, doesn’t mean you need to kill the class with all these nerfs..

No, that may be the misunderstanding in communication between the community and the Necro developers..

Foot in Grave like that we would be Engineers… bringing more QQ nerfs… to an already nerfed class…. I love it!!!
