Guild Wars 2

Maybe I’ve been playing it wrong… But usually with sword gs, don’t people use flurry swap to hb? Don’t see any autos in there…

1st target crippled
2nd target crippled

……3rd target dances for 3 seconds

No joke, Death from Above is one of my favourite traits. Imo, it far surpasses the utility of the other two traits in wvw.

I’d weep salty tears if it was removed

Really? yeah its indeed the only trait in that place that has some use i guess..
(because i was thinking of gliding etc..) maby then they could add something to this trait to not only do something on falldmg..? any idea’s what would be nice for minor trait?

Someone needs to jump off a wall to a crowded gate to understand this

Imo it’s better to just go with condi cleanse for wvw now than the reduction, so I swapped out my hoelbrak for strength and tossed in a Sigil of cleansing and keep berserker stance on my bar full time now. Also not even bothering with lemongrass , so I’m still trying out other foods

Only because you can’t get or buy them

For Sigil of michief, I only use it paired with leeching, by itself, I wouldn’t. Unless it’s been changed , which I haven’t paid attention to in a while just assuming it’s the same, if your blinded or if the target is blocking dodging or has aegis, the snowballs miss and you don’t get the 200 or so damage and theblind on hit, but you still remove blindness from yourself and you keep the leeching on next hit still

maybe its like a channeled skill and stealth thing going on, where if a skill is activated before the endure pain, it still lands?

The GS SW/SH build is very similar to what I’m running, but I go full zerk weapons and trinks, and knights armor, because I still go blobbing with it, otherwise it’ll be full zerk.

I agree with changing out armored attack for the extra endure pain.

For sigils, I run on the gs hydromancy and I think superior agility, the one that gives swiftness and quickness on swap, and mischief and leeching on the SW/SH.

The mischief and leeching gives you a ranged 1k extra dmg and heal just for swapping to the shield, and I prefer hydromancy on the gs, since it’s that much more dmg when you do the flurry hb combo, which also gives your target 1 more condi to cleanse with the flurry even if it’s just a shirt chill.

The sword attack might be weaker in dmg than the gs, but when your chasing, it attacks faster and gives that cripple so those attacks do add up,

@ Sir Vincent , I only said that to promote positive feedback, it’s still possible to not like something and provide positive feedback. And I think you misunderstood the choice for bounding dodger, it’s not there for the extra damage, but for the access to stealth.

@ Shinobi , thanks for sharing the build, I’ve thought about something hybrid like yours, but I feel like there’s even more condi cleanse now so that’s why i haven’t tried it in wvw, but watching your vid makes me want to get a set and try it anyways

Hey, I’m working on a p/p build for wvw that also uses stealth and interrupts to leech health and steal boons. I was making this build for fun, but it turned out to be more effective than I thought, so I’m here to ask for suggestions to make it better for what it is.

I’m still seeing what other weapon set would work nicely for this, but so far I’m just camping in p/p and using a sb since that’s always the go to for apparent reasons.

Armor, I’m currently zerk weapons and armor with marauders trinkets since I only have that for a power build, but it’s working fine since I’m use to running full zerk already, but I feel squishier with p/p since I only have shadow step and pistol 5/ dodge combo to stealth , so I’m looking to try something with just a bit more survivability.

This build has been fun, a lot more going on than just spamming unload since I get access to stealth to reposition, heal, and then use sneak attack before an unload to add that much more burst. And I also get to play with interrupts XD which kittenes off everyone, and doing a kitten ton of damage from the Sigil and impacting distractions. From what I noticed , the sigil doesn’t have a cd to steal health, but I haven’t been able to tell for the boons.

Anyways, was just looking for suggestions, I’m open to anything, just don’t give me p/p is bad this and that because like I said I made this for fun for wvw

Awwww, you guys were suppose to just say “nice build”

I was hoping this thread would hit 100 replies with just “nice build”

Nice build.

Invictorum.7643:

Second question. Would a power based build involving a torch be a doable idea? I like the abilities on the Torch, but I don’t know if it’ll be viable to run zerker/marauder stats instead of carrion/viper stats with it.

Pretty much what choppy said, there’s still enough baddies where whatever you run will work, but if it’s fun, do it, don’t forget it’s a game, that’s the whole point.

That’s why I run power p/d on my thief.

I didn’t read through this thread, just skimmed through it, so I’m not sure if this was brought up here or another thread, I had a suggestion for that. Maybe guild hall upgrades can be scaled with however many members for the cost, and if the guild grows, the upgrades will be closed off and you’ll have to dump in more gold/materials before its accessesable again.

I acknowledge you, now let the earth commence rotation

Thanks for sharing the build, I was already messing with it for a tank build to go blobbing in wvw, didn’t think about running it on my zerk gear for roaming, imma have to try this out since my hoelbrak runes are lower in price where I don’t mind replacing it, looks fun and thumbs up for the new play style like how someone mentioned, I wanna try it just cause it’s something different

Can I get an ascended back piece with marauders stats, or is berserker with valk the only stats available for that combo?

Change the auto attack chain so that it casts gs 2345 all at once but on a different timer, but not to go over board, it’s still a 3 chain attack on the same timer, but still cast 2345 on each of the 3 chain

LOL I just woke up my chick cause I was really loling after I saw that picture, was worth the swing of the arm and "shut the kitten up and go to sleep "

Let’s see if anyone can do anything somewhat successful as a berserker running with no discipline or defense line and all rage skills with x/torch and anything else for the other set

It’s 4am for me here so when I wake up and get a chance to play I’ll mess around but I want to see what others can come up with

This isn’t anything serious, more for fun, and I guess I’m just still salty about berserker and some of the stuff I want to see go baseline for warriors

So go ahead and make the worst possible berserker warrior you can while still putting effort into it

Edit : and oh, I guess I meant for pvp/wvw since you can still run anything for pve, and to make it not too difficult, even for just hot joins

I’m running minions on my reaper just cause there’s so many numbers I can’t even see exactly what I’m hitting for, it’s just a constant white block, so satisfying

I’m on the same boat where I main warrior and I played me to here and there but not much, but the way I’m playing with reaper now is how I feel berserker should’ve been, I got my gs and staff to build up my reaper, then go apekitten on my target when i pop the reaper shroud. I didn’t expect to enjoy the reaper this much, but kitten it’s fun, I can’t wait till I unlock the entire tree and finally hop into wvw

I love gambling ectos, I’m one of the blessed people to have good rng on this, I have my wins and losses, but mostly profit, and just to see if I could use this to craft a legendary, I was able to make enough for twilight in less than 2 weeks gambling slowly with it

I’m making the furriiest char I can for this bikini pick

That intro was so dramatic, I thought I was about to watch a movie for a sec…. And then I saw the gw2 ui

And at around 1:35 when you turned back around and targeted that tree, I thouhgt " oh kitten, this guy is boss, he’s bouta chop that tree" lol

I’m currently running knights armor with hoelbrak and zerk trinks and weapons and I still feel tankish for blob fights in T1 so for roaming, I can say go even zerkier imo

New hammer burst the pebbler, it’s the same attack as earth shaker, but instead of a stun, it creates a ring of pebbles that’s 3 inches high that anyone trapped inside cannot jump out of, like the rest of those annoying pebbles that stops everyone in tyria, and in order for anyone to leave they have to attempt to jump out of the one perfect spot which will then make then slide back down first and take falling damage like those random 3 steps of a stairway that makes everyone go wtf that was only 2 feet high, how did I get falling dmg 6 times, but just to make it not op there’s a 50% chance your skill will bug out intentionally on the pebbles and screws up the z axis like how when u land earth shaker on a pebble and the skill misses

Random idea, if poison was changed to no duration and not tick but the target either has to cleanse or heal to get rid of each stack, would that be nice or lame?

I run zerkeverything with knights armor and that’s enough already for me, with double endure pain, but like I said, that’s just me, I use to go full zero and did fine as well, but th difference with the extra survivability is better and damage isn’t that bad, so I stuck with the change

I would love this, it can even be limited to only 1 bag, and it can cost 2x or even 3x a bag slot expansion in the gem store and I would get it

I like the lb idea, maybe something like the target leaves behind a trail of fire that becomes a firefield

An idea for earning rewards in wvw that actually requires being in wvw

How about a system that keeps track of every time your in wvw and a tick goes by that your server earns points, you earn a token of point towards a reward.

For example everytime your in wvw for a tick and your server earns a total of 1k points, you earn 1 point or token, you can then trade those in for whatever reward .

Endless Soul.5178:

As an Asuran, I think it’s totally fun to hide under Charr or Norn characters.

New wvw Zerg meta, have a charr stand until the enemy Zerg comes , then he gives birth to 50 asurans steamrolling the enemy Zerg

My Holo shattered wings and foefires essence says hi, I look better than your angel wings and twilight

So the burst leaves a trail of fire, I remember seeing multiple tiny rings, are each of those considered a separate fire field, if so, would that trait that gives u double leap finisher be worth it to pair with a sword to give you a good amount of fire aura? Or still not with it?

I don’t play skullcracker build but I was thinking of all the combos you can do already, but I think the taunt with berserker would help start up a good combo also, get full adren enter beserker when ur in range of taunt, hb, swap use mace burst, cripple with torch, or stun again with a shield, if ur target doesn’t cleanse or stun break to try to leave, u can headbutt swap and hb again

That rifle burst into the Zerg stack though, lol

That last run in Ta forward where the stampede of puppies run your way, I always got this joke with my guild mates about psychos putting puppies in potato sacks and lighting them on fire, were that much closer to being psychopaths

One thing with warriors burning isn’t that it has long duration, but you are applying it constantly, with berserker, I think gs sword torch would make a good condi or hybrid set, you can have a firefield on yourself, make another firefield with the new gs burst, wwa for more burning, sword burst for more burning, your going to be applying burning nonstop with pretty much anything you do

The first thing I thought of when I saw that was lb burst into the enemy Zergs veil

I was born in the 80s but I want to do events in the eras before argggghhh

Now I’m stuck with Justin Beiber achievements only

Anets fault

Why don’t we have 2 warriors test it out by playing the same build, one full zerk, on with a mix of more defensive gear, then hb each other so that it evens out, see if that target stats is something to consider then have a duel to see if then the other stuff like the build , healing , whatever makes a difference ?

Haven’t read the entire thread, but I just want a smoke field or something so I can keep my sword and stealth and burst someone bwhahahhah

Buzzed/drunk posting I just jinxed the warrior profession ????

Zev.3407:

rely on your skill more than the build you choose.

when it comes to roaming, alot of warrior builds work, you just gotta know how to play it and practice.

I use rifle, sword/shield and i love it for roaming.

Lemme start by saying I’m kinda buzzed first so I hope this come out kind of soberish

But I agree with this, warrior is so “basic” imo that it really does come down to skill which imo means at least if your if u don’t know the other professions inside out, be familiar with the different kinds of builds other people are running even if you don’t know what every skill does FYI this ele is in water so it’s going to heal up or something

And from an aesthetic pov I’ve always seen warriors as someone strong and dealing massive powerful blows, not running away slowing poking at people (condi) and running away, besides imo especially in a wvw pov we have sufficient condi cleanse in a power build

Hope this makes sense , I’ll probably edit tomorrow when I’m sober, and lol at myself for spell checking for 10 mins on the crapper trying to figure out what I just wrote

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

i think warrior elite spec will be main hand dagger plus off hand dagger.

with
dagger weapon skill 2 – 5 being instant activation projectile skills and
dagger weapon skill 1 auto attack having 1/4 second activation time, doing 2 hits per attack, completing the 6 hit chain within a second,

that’s half a level 1 adrenaline bar within a second!

hmm sounds lame.

What if the new specialization combines adrenaline with initiative? So let’s say it dagger in ur example, but each dagger u throw at ur target consumes not a bar of Arden, but only one adrenaline in that tier, but since it can be spammed, damage can be reduced so it won’t be op spamming, and u get adrenaline back from your other weapon set

I would get the copper fed salvage kit thingy, it’s very convenient cause you’ll be going through a lot of salvage kits, at the same time you’ll bank a lot of mats and increase your magic find, that way by the time you hit 80 u can craft whatever or just sell the mats and buy whatever you want

Just a random idea, at work and I’m bored. What if our utilities gave us something more based on the current weapon were using, something like the evasive arcana trait. For example , if we use a banner and we have a hammer , it could have a small aoe stun, or if it’s a longbow, it’ll have an aoe burn.

I might be mistaken but I haven’t seen anyone else brought this up, the scavenger hunt we’ll be getting for hot, one of the items looks like it has the same icon as the preserved queen bee which cost over 1k in the tp.

Like I said I might be mistaken, I haven’t looked at the vid or pic of the mastery system about the part for the precursor since it first came out, but if it is … Not worth it

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Preserved_Queen_Bee

What thou need to do is probably play the warrior for a bit

Last night I finally decided just to make a ranger again for the first time in a long time, although I’m pretty familiar with most of their skills/utilities/traits, as for actually playing one live, I’m a nub. But with just knowing warrior and somewhat familiar with ranger, Warriors were not a problem at all.

You can even look in my post history , I just make mostly troll comments that aren’t over the top and I have never suggested anyone to l2p, but this post, you need to l2p

I say just do it, I doubt it’s going to be removed, but you’ll regret it more if you don’t get it than to farm the gold back if you lose, which you’ll do anyways IF you lose, good luck
