Guild Wars 2

Or you can always roll a necromancer or a warrior they are definitely way better

well, personally people ask me to get in to their team whenever i’m on.
and i don’t do that well either tbh.

maybe you met the wrong people.

Red Raven.7824:

But the ability tooltip doesn’t say that. The only way to find that out is by reading the BOON tooltip. Do you get what I’m saying?

Conditions aren’t attacks…Conditions are….conditions…teehee..

i don’t know about you but i love rangers with pet revive on big fights, sooo good.

Red Raven.7824:

Veritas.6071:

It is working as intended. Also note conditions can still be applied.

It may be, but the tooltip description says otherwise. So if anything, it’s a tooltip bug.

Conditions aren’t incoming attacks. Conditions are…conditions..

pre made too..not even going to complain….

wait for that balance patch and apply that weakness

wvw and pvp is different
and stealth is not op, blind is.

because they are unkillable piece of tank

how it is easy to fail, those armor stuck got off easily when theres some one said in map chat to throw eggs at her. and everyone kept attack, got it killed on my 1st counter…im a zerker btw

Has it,s uses on what exactly…. PvE ? End no…. i run axe/shield …so what are u..one of this fan boys that think everything is great…
If u think is so perfect then why single warrior don’t use / axe on pvp?
Please enlighten me ….i,m kitten end have no clue how to play warrior….

Has it’s uses =/= perfect. Talk about a misquote there buddy. I run it for PvE with a longbow and sword mainhand. Carpeting the area in fire and spinning on it has devastating damage, especially with a Sigil of Earth on one of the weapons for 15 chances to proc. The sigil and trait for bleeding add up between flurries for heavy bleed stacking all while spreading that burn even more. You can dodge while using it and it hits 360 degrees to hit a large number of mobs and also flings projectiles everywhere when used in a combo field. This was all mentioned already in this thread.

in pve…i would just hundred blade the mobs down fast and move on…

condition warriors have always been decent in pvp. i ran it before, i don’t run it anyway because the skills doesnt appeal to me

give us the damage enough to burst down a full bunker as a full zerker and we have a deal! anet! more staying capability would be just another guardian anyway

guardian can easily 1v2 and follow another 1v1
if well played.

that is human T3…except the hat..

Harlekin.2981:

I love the end-game style of GW2 I really love it.
I feel sorry for the people that can´t appreciate it.
Maybe one day ANet will manage to put in a raid-like experience without forcing people to grind so everyone´s happy. Till that happens, you might want to try other games or twink GW2.

ofc, more skins. so its not forcing, because all the same stats! lololol

Brown Noses and lying to yourself doesn’t get the Dev’s to give you things just saying. :P

Now if you truly enjoy the joke of “Endgame content” then hey kudos, a lot of us don’t (I realize some of you do.) However, I’m at mind to think that you may not actually know what endgame content is supposed to be, and that’s why you’re happy.. but hey if I’m wrong and you enjoy the half hearted attempts they give us, kudos.

The only end game content in ANY MMO has been endless raids hoping for RNG gear.

This game doesn’t have that, for which I’m thankful.

Go play one that does and quit kittening.

but i thought after i got to 80, all i do is dungeons, fotm hope for rng gear and farm more dungeons :o tell me im doing it wrong.

because with groups of 30 and 40, my fps almost never go up to 30, not to mention skill lags. not to mention its zerg v zerg
and you basically see nothing because of all the flashiness. and it’s just aoes everywhere.
pvp is generally more tactical and player skill based.

my knowledge to ranger is limited, can some one please tell me what`s going on and how to counter it

WvW or PvP (i dont think this is about pvp since you dont have problem with other professions)???

- WvW depends on gear, lvl or zerg size.
- PvP Run Away (his pet is stronger than warrior).

if its wvw, why would i post in pvp forum – -..

I don’t know why, but u said:

“So im a zerker warrior, i never had any problem with bursting classes down real fast or hurting bunker bit by bit.”

and i guess its in www with low lvl’s. Or that is in HotJoin with zerg behind you. But then, why cant you kill BM bunker with zerg (big enough).

p.s. can someone kill bunker 1v1 (not akitten bunker with brain)???

because i only play tpvp…

Brinson.7289:

I never said GS is garbage in any situation.
I read what the OP described and replied to that with my advice.
Obviously if someone is away from keyboard in a corner you are going to melt their face with the GS. Not so much against a good ranger.

i wouldn’t call that a good ranger if he just stand there let me burst and not taking any damage

So im a zerker warrior, i never had any problem with bursting classes down real fast or hurting bunker bit by bit.

but heres a ranger i just met a few minuts ago.

he was shooting someone else so i thought it might be a chance for me to at least take his hp down to half,

so i immobilized him and used 100b, most of the hits land and dealt quiet ammont of damage, but he just heals back and regen.

and what happened next is just horrible, he just walk around while dealing a lot of damage on my ally. i keep hitting him continuously , gs 1 2 3 4 5 switch to long bow same thing. no matter how much i hit him he just regen back the same amount or more.

my knowledge to ranger is limited, can some one please tell me what`s going on and how to counter it

At equal skill level you cannot beat a BM ranger on a warrior. He will use dodge attacks if you imob and have a passive and active stun breaker to deal with knockdowns. Not to mention more toughness than you, waaay more healing than you do, can dodge more, can kite you and has regular access to protection and far better condi removal. You’re unlikely to catch him and if you do high toughness+protection will take the edge off your burst which he can then heal off fairly easily, if he focuses you his condi dmg will just eat you up. Here is some real advice: until warrior is buffed don’t run it, the class has a niche role in team pvp if the team is set up for it but for yolo queue or any type of solo play you’re just a liability.

the thing is thakittens not equal skill, sure if someone with equal skill that i can’t kill, i know warrior is the worst class. but that ranger literally just let me hit and never took any damage. :|

Brinson.7289:

I dont think GS is going to be your most effective weapon because the most damage comes from #2. You might want to use a axe or something. Longbow isn’t much better DPS unless you have heavy condition damage which I doubt because your using GS. You may also want to get a sigil that provides poison on weaponswap to lower the ranger’s heals. [though it will be removed in less than 10s so it might not be worth it in the end.]
I don’t think warrior is a very good matchup against ranger because ranger is the most solid 1v1 class between heals and pet dps. I’m tempted to say no warrior ever has a chance 1v1 but i’ve seen some good warriors out there recently.

it is amazing get some one cornered and use 3 on a wall, amazing damage in a matter of sec, even not for the damage skill itself is amazing finisher and evade. and gs mobility is important. so is lb`s support and aoes. plus i can land my gs2 almost anytime possible with some control skill and good timing

that warrior build not as good as mine imo.

melee war,.just give them a cripple, they cant hit you

lupercaleb.6041:

1v1 is boring because it completely restricts build variety and invalidates any form of support. 1v1 also eliminates the downed state’s test of good judgment

1V1 is boring but 1V1 in a 5V5 is amazing

hell no i need that charge to 100b!

nothing you can do but put the most damage on the reviving one, or bull charge if off cd

i‘m surprised how many people are mindless and clueless in this thread.
They are going to nerf pet’s damage mostly because BM bunker dealing too much damage, so they are going to adjust around BM and try to not hurt everything else. and most likely gonna be a PVP only change.
Also they said they are going to nerf pets damage, it doesn’t mean they are going to nerf the less hard hitting ones, a few adjustment can bring them up to bar pretty fast.

try to be smart next time guys.

PvE/Dungeons: Average, they are good in old content (CoF Path 1.) and horrible at new content (Karka.)

You should see the video of a warrior trying to solo a Karka, wheras every other class can solo them, warriors cannot without luck+lots and lots of skill, one mistake = instant death.

Daecollo if you ever wanna be taken seriously you need to stop the ridiculous exagerations. Warriors are kings of PvE, bar none. If you’re not facerolling PvE content , including karkas, you’re doing something horribly wrong. Warrior’s issue is PvP, not PvE.

Guardians and rangers are kings of PvE, bar none. You never explained anything so i won`t either.
btw if you wanna be taken seriously you need to stop the ridiculous exagerations, because farm cof1 is not king, or maybe it is to you lol.

The problem is this….

WvW (Roaming) – Average
WvW (Zerging) – The current OP class
sPvP – Average
PvE/Dungeons – Really strong

So, how do you improve WvW roaming and sPvP without making WvW zerging and PvE completely OP?

Roaming: Horrible, almost every class does it better.

Zerging: Average, every class is good at Zerging. Warriors are a missile, however they don’t bring nearly the crowd control a necromancer/elementalist can in Zergs. Unfortunately Hammer warriors lead the fight, however they die very quickly and are very squishy.

Spvp: Horrible, i’d rather bring a ranger’s pet, more damage+more survivability.

PvE/Dungeons: Average, they are good in old content (CoF Path 1.) and horrible at new content (Karka.)

Sorry but this is a deluded exaggeration. Warriors are the absolute kings of PvE. There is no question there.

my guardian laughs hard.

Last time I checked the current PvE meta is 3 Warriors, 1 Guard, and 1 Mesmer. Not sure why your Guard is laughing.

Unless we’re discussing PvP, in which case your Guard has every right to laugh at Warriors.

because those 3 warriors are depending on guard and mesmer to keep them alive lolol
they choose 3 warriors, just because warriors have the most damage on AIs, they can be easily replaced by any other prof, if no one cares about the boss dying 2-4mins late.

ptv soldier rune transmutated to cof skin, so you will look like a zerker war doing alot of damage, yet you are having an easy time and let everyone else do the job lololol.

volcano is only of the better dungeons, yet the reward is not high enough to be considered.

if you mean the fotm one then grawl at the start drop good loot (normally T6 and T5 mats mixed with gray items). Fractals such as Cliffside are the ones that barely give you anything.

well, imo cliffside is easier then volcano, and cliffside also give more of the zerg v zerg feel then volcano. and the grawl at the start rarely drop any T6 T5, actually it doesnt drop any at all and if you count the total number of the adds in cliffside, it`s pretty close to the grawls at the start of volcano

volcano is one of the better dungeons, yet the reward is not high enough to be considered.

Zodian.6597:

I’ve been around long enough to see the “unplayable” classes of yesterday become the “game breaking” classes of tomorrow so many times that I tend to agree with statements like this, but as the meta becomes more and more established, the way that we view balance begins to differ slightly.
There’s no doubt that Anas tarcis is a pretty well known/well respected warrior in the sPvP community, and he is part of a handful of elite players that have actually pushed the class to it’s limits in terms of innovation and testing (no one even thought of playing lb till tsts ran it with 5 warriors and started winning lol). I respect him and his opinions, but I must disagree, because as the meta has become more solidified and more sub-roles arise, I can begin to see how strained warrior is in its ability to fit into these sub roles (bunker roamer far push, burst roamer home def, aoe cleave team fight roamer, support bunker, side bunker, bunker, bruiser roamer, ect…).
Warrior must be able to compete within one of these sub roles. It used to be able to fit into the “aoe cleave teamfight roamer” sub role (remember Team Cute?), but since quickness nerf, it’s more effective to just bring an aoe condi class like trap ranger or HGH engi instead of filling that role. For every other roamer sub-role, BS thief and ele just do it better.
I’m sure Anas tarcis can out perform most ele’s/thieves as a roamer, but against people of equal skill level he will be held back by the limitations of his class. -just my two cents.

hey , i use LB in pvp since forever when ever i use condition build or feel like some aoes, i never watch tournaments video, nor i care. so don’t talk like everyone use LB because some guy win some matches with LB. it’s not hard to choose LB since theres only 2 long range weapon for warrior.

@above idk about you, but playing as an asura is not something special enough to change mind, that race is simply op.

DiogoSilva.7089:

Scepter has a few underpowered skills, especially the first two in water. Sooner or later, they’ll need to get buffed. If Scepter becomes too strong by then, something else ill have to be nerfed.

However, mh dagger is far more “polished”. While Scepter has a pretty strong burst combo (taking into consideration runes, sigils and traits), everything else about it ranges between average to underwhelming. Sure, when we take the whole thing, it’s a viable weapon (IF coupled with a ver specific trait/ sigil/ utility burst combo), but in comparison, pretty much all mh dagger skills are pretty good, which makes mh dagger feel more robust and polished, design-wise. Scepter’s skills feel very uneven.

However, focus and staff NEED something more urgently. I believe the staff can be viable simply with an extra damage buff outside of fire (attention: it doesn’t needs to be a lot, but some nonetheless), but focus is underwhelming in numbers, uneven in skills (some are a little bit stronger than they probably should, most of them are weaker than they should) AND a bit too conditional.

Even though warriors and necros should definitely be a priority, it’s annoying to players when they spend almost an year playing with the same builds, because there’s little else to offer. Especially for a profession that is universally attractive (and marketed) for its “destructive” and “large-scale” power, and then iconic weapons are underwhelming, and viable builds are by far bunkers (with a nearly-instant burst build exception).

Imagine how thieves would react, if for 9 months, not a single burst build was viable for them. Imagine if they were stuck to a… to give a random example, a defensive party support build without stealth/ without burst, for a year. Sure, it’s cool and all for those who like that type of play, but it would not meet the expectations for a good portion of the fanbase that would pick a thief.

So again, necros and warriors should definitely be a priority now, but it has been many months. Anet has been very slow at buffing alternative builds, because they want to clean the house first, and make sure the current meta is fine as it is. But, as it is normal with balancing a game, estabilishing a decent meta takes a whiiiiiiiiiiile, and is sometimes a never-ending process.

I can udnerstand that they don’t want to throw random buffs and suddenly make underpowered skills overpowered. But I and many people wold enjoy if their buffs came more frequently, no matter how small they could be.

pretty much this.

I have been quiet for all this time, leaving civilized posts on the ele forums, but this is outrageous at tis point, every class has had their shinning moment, please dont tell me you have forgotten of the old warrior charging in and killing you in the blink of a second with 100b and quickness, or the GS guardian rolling everyone, or the confusion mesmer making you commit suicide.

It has been almost a year, how would YOU like it if for that entire time you were completely useless? Like I said, I got tired of suggesting and hoping a dev sees the thing; now im demanding, since it seems thats what works. Worked for warriors, worked for necros, they got their attention. It is like that old saying;

“niño que no llora, no mama” – “kid that doesnt cry, doesnt get nursed”

but … but… i thought eles was shining for a dam long time and is still on it’s shining moment…or are all of those eles in top team matches just some useless place holders? or did you mean that you have been quiet for all this time, because for all this time, eles are one of the best pvp classes and highly placed in top team matches?.please enlighten me with your superior knowledge. oh wait, you didn’t even respond to my previous comment. i guess it’s just another “make our already good class more OP and ignore those stupid bad bad class, because i don’t care and don’t play it, cry cry cry”

What!? these are unblockables?!

Signet of I Raaaaaaaaaaage quit, why give us bs signet of mighttttt

basically you can’t melee with trash mobs in high difficulty dungeons, only if you go full PTV and TV build, maybe you can stay as a warrior, but elemtanlist or guardian would be a better bet, because warriors don’t have the sustainability.

i basically only go full melee when 1v a few hard mobs/boss, even so i still have to spec a dodge build with stunbreak to run a full zerker. still in this situation, guardian would be a better bet i guess, because of it’s nature blocks and reduce income damage buff, group blind from weapon and stuff.

Shar.3402:

S/D eles > D/D eles anyway, and warriors are the most UP class right now (even necros are probably better and can fill some niche in teams)

also, Endure Pain is 5 seconds, makes you immune to damage….but a necro or an engi or whatever can still apply conditions on them (you can’t apply conditions to an invulnerable ele or engi), so yes, warriors need a bit of help.

well, a good “fix” could be making it invulnerability too but half the duration, or make it 3 like everybody else. Oh, and fun fact, even when invulnerable, if you apply conditions to an ele/engi/mesmer before they become invulnerable, the damage still ticks, and invulnerability lasts almsot half of what the warrior’s endure pain lasts (40% less, 5 seconds to 3 seconds is 40% less) so yeah, I would take the warriors endure pain most of the time over mist form if it wasnt because you cant be rooted while on it, but if you get rooted before you go into mist form you will stay there…rooted.

and no, I dont know who told you S/D is better than D/D, try landing a dragon’s tooth on a non-akf (invert f and k, apparently akitten is a bad word) player…

Yes, you would obviously take endure pain anytime, because you obviously don’t lack any condition cleansing like warrior, you obviously like to have conditions applied on you when you have it activated, you obviously like to have cripple speed while have it on because obviously your d/d ele have attack range of a melee warrior and you obviously like to get hit by unblockables and get CC’ed while you have it on. Nice!

i’m sorry but that’s not 5 sec of invulnerability thats 5 sec of block which can be unblocked and can be CC’ed
and your mist form can move fast and is a true invulnerability, also not like reviving a teammate or flag a down enemy are sometime you can’t do, not to mention it’s stunbreak

3% bonus burst damage 24/7 to the already heavy hitting finishers at max crit trait…and you’re complaining? I can’t tell if this is serious.

Hahaha no. Sorry, but there’s no excuse for blatantly not reading the thread at all then trying to be condescending.

It seems like what I said was really difficult for you to understand. Oh well!

Yup, its definitely difficult to understand what you have said, since it’s so flawed and lacks the basic intelligence and information.

just make that 3% to boon hate, and remove that useless destruction of the empowered. voila

thank you for wasting my time

remove it, make a new trait, give the damage foes by dodge the ground crack animation.

i’m just glad that no one ever mentioned warrior, i’ll smile and be happy and be ignored and be as the worst pvp class while everyone else want their class buffed.

Guardian is definitely the top. most demanding class in high difficulty dungeons(unlike warrior the 2nd in demand, it has close to no actual support to the team only if specced to it and still not as good as guardians, even if you can take care of yourself as a warrior but your whole team got wiped it won’t change anything. also guardian is good in PvP, unlike warrior.

@above don’t tell me that teleports, aoe burn, aoe blind, stunbreaks arent tricks or slow in fights…in tpvp, some times even thief have difficulties to run away from me

guardians are only slow when ooc, when you need to run caputure points….

so i’m a warrior and got took down when canach only have little hp left so i used revenge, i died right after i took him down, i re spawned and ran back but i didn’t receive any reward.

devs please look in to it

Gw2 need more people like john or im going to esonline lol
