Hambow is balanced if youre playing another warrior, thief or bunker guardian.
Personally i dont play any of the above and am sick of seeing them/ having to outplay them 100% to get anywhere
or spirit ranger, or bunker ele, or any other condition/bunker specs. I like the hate for warriors but just sayin the profession you play probably have some annoying and hated builds too.
I am just going to add that i am experiencing this problem with bulls charge as well in wvw. I would find some helpless fella standing still and i would have him selected, i would bulls charge over him and miss. Either that or it would knock him down but i would still fly over him.
There were also occasions where i was dueling somebody and just as my eviscerate was going to land, the necro tele’s 3 step backwards and if i a remember correctly necros do not have tele so it was either bug or hax.
Given how ridiculous condition spam build is, strength rune is vital to combat condition builds and give power builds a fighting chance. if you nerf it, condition builds will again become the most dominant build and thus trumps any power builds out the window.
This game doesn’t need to turn into condition wars 2 just because this rune rustled a few jimmies.

The current pvp system has more problems than just that. It rewards rather passive gameplay aka bunkering a point. Where as ganking and killing players are not encouraged. Thats not to say we should turn this game into call of duty where u should only seek out to kill players, but there needs to be reward for actually eliminating players, setting up ganking position outside of points. Nobody wants to watch a game where u just see people sitting around a point and doing nothing while only a few select people get to run around and even then, in a usually predictable manner.
Another issue is how brain dead some specs are, i am looking at pets and AI specs mostly. While most of the specs aren’t that great, one thing is that when u have anything that requires barely any to no input to the player and actually have that strategy/spec be viable, it totally diminishes any sort of competitiveness the game has. Specs like minionmancers, turret engis, any ranger build, phantasm mesmers etc…nobody will take the game seriously when you have specs like these lying around that are just auto pilot. AI builds needs to actually rely less on AI and more on player input. Think games like dota where you have to control your pets manually.
Those are what i think the main issue that will stop this game from being taken as an esport.

Rune of strength is a necessary evil given how broken condition builds are in this game.
Does it not bother anyone that you can barely see what an asura is doing in both pvp in wvw?.. given their size, it makes it hard to react to their moves, giving them an advantage over the other races.
The fact it does both +dmg against stunned targets aswell as cooldown reduction is absurd.
My Engineers comparetive trait just reduces cooldown, doesnt add any damage. Same for my Ele, reduces cooldown on one specific attunement, doesnt add damage under any circumstance.
So i already find this trait overbudget as is. But i have that problem with a lot of Warrior traits.
This coming from an engi is quite funny. If you want to talk about overbudgeted traits, engi is definitely up there at the top.
Seriously it was a mistake to buff turrets. Why would they buff turrets, anything that uses AI to do all the work for you should be weak or else it totally ruins any sort of skill encounters in this game.
You make it sound so easy Noha, but it isn’t that simple. Engies have too many gimicks
Many, most gimicks. But thw worst stunbreakers and conditional removal out there.
Just like how thieves have a hard time surviving in dungeons, or mesmers having bad travel time(strong in combat though). All classes ans specs have weaknesses.If you wanna complain about it.. Complain about the oh so common hambow… Press 4buttons and win games (on an avrage level). You can even complain about how necros are so unwanted in dungeons. Everything have weaknesses.
no engis are much more stronger than hambow, at least hambow is predictable and u can counter play that. you can’t counter an engi, their turrets are super tanky so usually you would die to all of their conditions b4 u down their turrets and there is no point dodging as they just spam spam condition all day.
something needs to be done about this class, why are they so tanky, immune to everything yet do so much damage and CC?..they also have incredible mobility. They just seem to have everything and no weaknesses whatsoever… it doesn’t matter if its decap or turret engis.
Yanniell and Olba re-read what he posted. He said he eviscerated OVER them and missed. Not just plain missing the attack.
I haven’t been all over the axe as of late so I don’t quite remember any problems I had with it. Aside from the bug where you will only leap half the distance of the actual skills effects.
thats because you are crippled or chilled.
i’ve never had evic leap over someone targeted before.
Considering both of those effects reduces your evis distance, i don’t see how that can make me evis over people.
It happens when you’re blinded. =P
is that serious or no?.. so blind makes me eviscerate over people?
So i have been trying out the eviscerate build and so far its been pretty fun. However, sometimes i notice that despite having the right guy locked on, he is not moving or dodging or whatever but i end up eviscerating over him and miss. Is this a bug or working as intended.
to craft a ascended back item such as quiver or a book, which would u choose?… talking from an aesthetic point of view ofc.
Do you think it looks cool enough to warrants its cost?
Is it me or does most of the weapon this game don’t look appealing at all?.. i know there are some nice ones but endgame items like the ascended weapons and alot of the legendary weapons just doesn’t feel right at all when you wield or attack with it. They feel disproportionate with greatswords being the biggest culprit. They usually have way overside hilts and/or super fat blade that just doesn’t look good at all.
Any class is hard to master, mesmer is still forgiving and easy because you rely on AI while having a million easy ways to peel people off you.
The fact that Mesmer “relies” on AI makes shatter even harder to master, as all your AI-shatter ressources can easily be destroyed via AoEs and also make your bursts absolutly obvious, due to AI-characters running straigt to the enemy.
Please don’t base your view on Mesmers on troll specs like PU or Phantasm specs. Both of those are almost completly useless in any tournaments etc.
Luckily pvp is more than just high level tournaments, so i can base my view on how most mesmer plays mesmer.
Any class is hard to master, mesmer is still forgiving and easy because you rely on AI while having a million easy ways to peel people off you.
Umm an engineer bunker is 3x more powerful than your average joe warrior point bunker, but hey maybe in low skill level nobody knows how to play engi so everyone just scapegoats warriors for their loss.
why does this skill needs to changing again?
It’s ridiculous that warriors actually have some sort of weakness. They already have the highest armor, highest HP, highest mobility, ridiculous HP regen, near immunity to all conditions, multiple access to stability, immunities, blocks, and still hit like a truck. God forbid that if you actually manage to survive being chain stunned into next year, you might put out a blind.
oh pls, warrior is not even good in 1v1s or spvp compared to pretty much every other class in this game.
The issue here is thieves are just ridiculous in general, too much cheese Its also problem with how abundant conditions are in this game.
Mesmer require lots of skill?.. what?
I am sorry but any class who pretty much run on auto pilots with their pets are about as brainless as any of the easy classes such as guardian and warrior. Thats why necro/ranger (especially spirit build)/mesmers are easy.
Thief is hard to play in spvp but in wvw they are extremely forgiving as they have a million ways to get out of any bad situation so roaming with thief is pretty much idiot proof. They remind of the vanilla WoW rogues , you can pretty much duel and beat almost anyone (sometimes even 2 shot people) but if you somehow found your match, you can simply vanish.

as long as PU mesmer, all thief builds, necro and engineer condition gets nerfed. Warrior nerfs would be ok.
i really want to see all these non-faceroll builds people talk about tho, because every class i seen seem to have builds that are as brainless and broken as the next yet they complain that warrior is OP. LOL
oh and forgot to add, how broken thieves are in wvw and spvp with those 13k+ backstabs.
Meanwhile everyone forgets that necro and engineer still continues to dominate PVP and WVW with their insane condition builds?
for anyone else? Lagspikes and dc endlessly today for me.
How well would you think the perma burn build does in solo roam?.. also will a meditation variant work?
For a well rounded build, is there a better alternative than celestial?
Yes there are. However it requires a lot of mixing of gear. So it’ll cost you a lot more in the long run if you plan on making ascend. Celestial is just more convenient to get, since it’s only one gear type.
well the issue is just that celestial gear is really hard to get, how would you mix it up the gear and how do you handle chasing people in roams?.. it seems most classes can simply decide not to fight you whenever they want.
For a well rounded build, is there a better alternative than celestial?
Yeah i know they are pretty bad but i still don’t know how to get them unless i buy them which i don’t want to. Everytime i go to where it tells me to find it, the chest won’ open.
The chest that you need to get for the GM at stait of malediction never opens, what gives?
Or are we still stuck on full zerkers?
oh silly me, thanks for clearing things up.
Anyone else experience the issue where if you press deposit all collectibles, it doesn’t deposit any of the materials you collected?.. also i can’t sell any items on the trading post because they are not listed even tho they are not account/soulbound?
Will this class be effective with 250+ pings?
Since beserker gears are getting nerfed, is it better to just use knight gear for both pve and wvw?
so is it all preference?.. or is there a reason why speed runes is cheaper than the traveler one?
Guardian feels so bloody slow that i feel like this rune is mandatory.
Finally its over, and my lag has gotten better too, worst event eva.
Is he workable with high latency tho?.. or is he like a thief where you have to have insane reaction time?
is he as forgiving as a guardian with 250+ ping?
Your class is already king in pvp, what more do you want?
what a crappy idea. total dislike. dont like it. i see the joke, but a forced joke upon us is foolish not funny.
ESO starts to get more and more attractive.// EDIT: ok i see log off and log on turns it off. at least something. it´s ok if others like it. have them see the world in that “funny” way, just dont hassle me with forced premature jokes please. thats in my eyes a form of customer disrespect.
an option would have been to have 1 hour bobble head after the login and introduce some tonics for those who like the effect.
by that way ppl would have a good laught with the effect wearing away after some time but leaving it to the player control to extend the effect.
taking away control about appearance or length (even if the effect doesnt shows now on my client, you still control how my character is shown to the world) is a form of disrespect. full stop.Get off your high horse. You’ve been pranked, deal with it.
Its ok if i smashed your window with a rock then?.. because hey its just a prank. But just deal with it right?
I enjoy putting flaming dog poo in front of peoples door but if i found out someone else doesn’t like it, i won’t question their sense of humor or tell them to lighten up, this forum on the other hand…
Please allow us to turn off the stupid bobble heads, i tried to endure it for a few hours but i had enuf, i almost want to throw up completely. I don’t even know why a prank like this is encouraged.
I tried all the solutions like changing clock and relogging, they are only temporarily until u go into another instance or map, it is not a good solution at all.
Game is almost unplayable.
That are also decent in pve?
Can someone list some of the builds.
