the shields are tiny i wont lie. The biggest one that is on a norn is as big as their chest. The ghastly grining is okay sized on charr. Cant feel like a big heavy tank person with tiny shields. I feel bad for asura, even GS look tiny on them.
well since zhaitans story is over we will see a lot more of the other mobs involved with other dragons. I just hope we see them as much as undead or its gona be lame.
Why are most the weapons in gw2 so tiny? The only big hammers are magmaton/colluss and Jugger the rest are tiny lil things. Tiny little shields aswell that barely cover the persons arm let alone anything else. Axes are pretty small aswell and some maces too. Greatswords and staffs are the only big things.
had a goofy idea last night and made a bleed/confusion warrior with rampage as an elite. Cant say how good it was since i only tested it for an hour in spvp and most the ppl in the matches were new players.
Its funny, cause the whiner that started this post… also posted on warrior forums that Warriors need a buff!?!?!?!?! BAHAHAHA
someone give this guy a medal
I only asked for a buff to the cond builds for wars which every single player knows. Even most the new ppl do but it seems that news hasnt made it to you yet.
i had 40 fps yesterday when the lag was goin on. It started in spvp and then stayed with me thru dungeon runs/orr/wvw. I have used the rush skill off cliffs so many times due to mob dying and then my skill hitting delayed and then i fly off :P
yeah i mean i totaly didnt post this a month ago when it started happening i must be posting super quick to have it nerfed.
I do know about the other class insta killlers but 360 aoe insta kill? Warriors have to use bulls rush then frenzy then HB then a whirl and maybe a evi. Mesmers gotta do their shatters and stuff then the finish combo. Thieves got the backstab. Eles got their thing going, guards got no insta kill, Idk too much on necro dps. But as you can see all these require multiple skills to be used to do the combo except for the thief because they only need to do 3. Eng has the pull and switch to gernade kit and maybe use the F2 gernade barrage and GG.
The swap to the gernade kit does bout 6-7k dmg. Just switchin i mean its not even a real attack its a trait that does 7k dmg like steal with mug for thief.
@Sinanju: This thread wasnt on thieves it was on engineers. Everyone knows about thieves.
As for the rifle there’s many rifle burst builds.
Since you aren’t understanding the only advice I can give you is to actually try and play 100nades and see how effective it is. You talk as if it is harder to pull off other professions instabursts than it is to get a barrage+barrage, which just tells me you don’t fully get how the barrage+barrage works.
It is not a 360 AOE instakill, in fact being AoE is actually a hinderance to the burst because you can get rather unlucky and miss with some of your grenades. The KR Barrage you get from switching to the kit randomly flys out around you, sometimes in a big spread, sometimes in a small grp, that is why you have to actually be inside the enemy player, *not just near them, but actually right ontop of them." The ironic thing is in the Engineers search for a single-target nuke the best option was our long range AoE. Also since the Toolbelt Barrage has a cast time you can be interrupted.
This all makes it much different than other professions bursts which are mostly instacast skills. That is why the Thief burst is actually a bunch of OP BS that needs to be nerfed, all the skills the Thief needs to do 20k dmg are instacast, so I gaurantee you the majority of the ones that gank ppl that way are simply using a macro command. They are no different than Rogues.
I understand your intention wasn’t to be a troll, but calling for nerfs because you got caught by something you don’t understand isn’t going to net you good feedback. Especially when it is against the least played profession of the game.
I know how it works. I haz eng in spvp sir. With the pull skill and then to the combo. The pull ends you up right by the engineers feet and thats when the switch to gernades then the gernade barrage pwn yah.
Anyone else getting any lag? Ive never had it but since Saturday its been on my kitten like crazy. Every skill i use freezes then is used like 3-4 seconds later and ppl appear to teleport back and forth while they walk.
Asked around in game and some people are getting this as well.
99% of Warriors are full CoF with fiery weapons these days.
My charrs looked like that since november lol. The other guy i saw in LA and we had same color/armor and he had the gw1 swords and i had volcanus. Sure theres many copys of this set up now. I mean ppl wana be flamin hot yo
Soo any dev look at this yet? I mean instakill in 2 sec is super fun right?
Werent nades nefered then buffed again? Cus i really love getting double gernade barraged for 12k and then the follow up to the combo for 4-5k more
Here’s an answer. L2P. I’ve only seen 100nades once in my life and I was able to survive. I’ve been backstabbed and heartseaked more often then 100nades. Maybe they should nerf those attacks first.
There isnt only one engineer that you fought that everyone else fought. Its not our fault the one you fought was terribad. So keep your ’’l2p’’ stuff to your self.
@Vapula eng can get nice hp without having to sacrifice much. The good 100naders arnt that squishy.
LOL…this is what happens when people try to pick on engineers, get hammered and quickly post on the forum to have 100nades nerfed. Right now, this happens because you were not able to successfully bully an engineer owing to the fact that it is a very weak character already compared to others. Did you make the same complain about other characters. nerf this…nerf that.

well just went against 2 dif teams which had 4 mesmers and 1 thief. All different ppl. Think that might be a big clue to why pvp is dying. They need a class cap on tpvp so ppl cant run all the cheap bs.
Limiting players even further will surely help this game. I suggest hitting your head against a wall.
yeah it put it in such a great place in the first place didnt it? I mean lets roll 5 eles or 5 mesmers and kitten off everyone like theres no tomorrow.
140 bleed ticks, the fastest bleed stacking class AND the longest bleeds is hardly in need of a buff.
I was talking about spvp lol. In wvw/pve you can get crazy stuff going on. Wouldn’t be surprised if you got a 10k rip in wvw because it cuda been some supa squishy or a upscaled. In spvp your lucky if you get a 5k off on a cannon.
In spvp your marvelous stacks get removed like its no ones problem.

Good sir warriors are all about bursts. Well the dps ones and sword has no burst. Its a constant dmg wep with no burst and that sounds like guardian talk to me. Impale does 2-4k? lol Evi can hit up to 10k in spvp, HB 15k, rush 5k, whirls 9k, hammer can burst loads too the earthshaker can hit for a 6k aoe stun and with the trait the other skills hit for 4ks.
So saying impale does a 2-4k is a joke no offense meant to you sir. But it needs to be bursty. The same issue is with main hand mace. I say main hand because it has no burst its a defensive weapon while off hand provides a set up for a burst. Hell even bow has a burst. Rifle has KS which everyone knows about.
So comparing all of those to sword you can tell its weak at raw dps/burst. Mace aswell. These two weapons could really use a buff. The sword is a confused weapon i mean it stacks bleeds but look how much we gotta go out of our way to get to 25 stacks while other classes can auto atk and stack faster than us. Its dps is horrible. I wish it worked in both cond and dps just like the LB does.
He said HIS attack crit for 2-4k, not how much it’d crit on other builds. And I believe he’s talking about Rip not Impale since Rip does much more damage than Impale. I wouldn’t know how much it’d crit for on high end burst builds because no one ever uses off-hand sword, but if you consider Impale and Rip a package since they’re in the same skill, it’s damage is likely pretty decent.
i was talkin bout rip. Was saying impale because its the base skill and rip is its p2. But yes ive tested it and the hardest it can hit is 5k something on a glasscannon from a glasscannon. I been doing Axe/sword sword/shield with a full DW build and impale/rip isnt much.
swords suck!? tell me its not true, I’v pretty much lived off duel swords and won’t be quiting any time soon. most important thing to remeber NOTHING will out dps GS 100 blade burst so don’t punish yourself over it.
I find swords quite balanced.
1. we got a good condition stacking we don’t have to micro manage.
2. we got a good leap/distance skill.
3. a cripple skill.
4. a range bleed stacking attack that doubles as a powerful hit (love it when I see a 2-4k crit with it)
5. a block for those nasty big attacks. and even better if its traited to reflect range attacks
sure its not the raw power of the GS but even then I find sword does very reasonable damage. i’d had a number of auto attack’s 3rd strike doing nearly 2k damage while my GS with the exact same build is luck to get 1.4k for its big attack.
Good sir warriors are all about bursts. Well the dps ones and sword has no burst. Its a constant dmg wep with no burst and that sounds like guardian talk to me. Impale does 2-4k? lol Evi can hit up to 10k in spvp, HB 15k, rush 5k, whirls 9k, hammer can burst loads too the earthshaker can hit for a 6k aoe stun and with the trait the other skills hit for 4ks.

it was during US ‘’prime time’’ and we played bout 10 games with different ppl. Only once we had a repeat of 2 ppl but come on anet. Lvl 1 thrown in a 30+ game? I felt bad for him and was trying to help him but hes lvl 1 and you know…
Really dislike how a 3k toughness bleed/burn warrior dies as fast as a 2.4k toughness GS/hammer war or a 2.1k toughness GS/Axe/shield war. Toughness y u so useless.
I was trying out S/S/LB for bleeds/burns and well lets just say it hasn’t been going well.
The bleed rate is too slow and the burn goes away fast even with the 10% duration sigil. Any other class can stack a billion conditions on me and all I got is 1 bleed every hit or more from the burst/impale/block. Even Impale puts bleeds so slow to the target.
Warriors have too many cripples the sword 3 should just be an immobilize or add bleeding with the cripple. the sword 2 could do an aoe 3 stack bleed where you end at. Bow 3 should do an aoe burn like its supposed to :/ Ive never in my whole 1.5k game play with war used sword for any dps.
I made a whole cond set in November for wvw and it didnt have any real potential so I threw it in the mystic forge. I really wish we could be on par with other classes in cond out put.
Please buff this anet. Please I ask you. Sword as of now sucks. It’s on the bottom of the dps group and the only other cond dmg we have is burn which isnt too super awesome since only 2 skills cause it and 1 that should but never does.
Sword has no real use except the sword 2. Please i beg you give us warriors a real bleed/burn build going on. We like to deal cond dmg too
Anyone else think that Norns have the most goofiest animations? Charr are up there too with how the armor looks with some of their skills.
The big offenders for me playing a norn are their sword animation, jump animation, the sounds they make >.>, GS 3 skill for warrior/2 and 5 skill for guard, run animation(looks like a fat guy jogging)
For Charr GS 5 on warrior looks kinda cool since they run on all 4s but it looks a bit goofy how the nod their head while in the animation.
I cant help it but ive tried to make a norn warrior so many times but i end up deleting it and then dont make anything since a norn warrior would look so kitten the other races cant compare but it just looks too kitten goofy on the animations.
Ive asked a few friends and they agree but wanted to know what everyone else thought. I mean Norn were supposed to be savage barbaric giants not goofy, weird sounding, and have animations based on fat ppl moments. No offense to any of my big ppl out there its just a matter of choice of what ppl wanted to play.
Both forge bows are bugged and their glow goes away the first time you shoot em. They stay blue when equipped and never glow after that unless you take em off and put em back on but after that you shoot em and there it goes again. Can this be fixed? I really like teh bows.
they had 3 guards mes eng. Was so boring man i just gave up cus the mesmer portaled and the guards just ring of warding/line of warding lol it was funny but was really boring cus they did it every time lol.
Seen like 4 teams in a row now where the whole enemy team was bunkers and all they did was hold down bear and portal ppl to orb and then they ran back to bear to win. All bunkers so we cudnt do anything to them.
But other than that when there are normal teams where 1 bunker and 4 more its a fun game. Stop playing the sissy game ppl
how about longbow for guard that shoots like the ascalonion archers? I mean they shoot blue flaming aoe arrows like the warrior 3 skill.
Guards could have:
auto/1: Spirit Arrow: pierces through targets for x amount of dmg.
2: Burning smite: Aoe blast finisher that burns targets that get hit and cures 1 cond from allies.
3: Divine flames: Aoe fire field that causes burning to targets and cures 1 cond from allies on every pulse. Lasts for x amount of time.
4: Final Flash: Pierces through targets causing vuln for every target hit. ex: first target gets hit and takes 3 stacks of vuln then person behind takes same dmg but recieves 6 stacks of vuln. X amount of dmg.
5: Zealots Bane: Big aoe that heals allys within area and causes Vuln to targets within area for x amount of dmg. Lasts X amount of time.
This way Guardians could get another option for a burn build or a great ranged support weapon. It fits right in if i must say so and we would have a better ranged option.
For now I dont care how big small certain characters are. A well played Norn Warrior will strike fear into your enemies just by being big yeah. As long as there are no tourneys or real stakes it doesnt really matter. I play human cause I like the aesthetics, when there is something at stake I will make the smallest Asura with some crazy armor were you can barely see my animations at all. Considering this, size in general will be an issue in the future, but most certainly not at the moment.
idk if its just me but i cant help it, i just start laughing when ever i fight a big norn because they look so goofy with everything they do.
I for one am not really bothered that much by Asura but I do notice a lot more of my attacks land when using one. It is an advantage, I don’t think it’s possible to argue otherwise.
My suggestion for this is more or less a compromise between the stated reasoning
of either side of the argument.
Make an option to display all enemies as human. This could be a single model, also reducing the amount of objects loaded (more of a WwW issue but might as well touch on it). You still get you aesthetics, so even if you want to play an Asura but don’t want to deal with others hard to read animations you don’t have to deal with it. I would like to hear an argument against this.
This sounds like a great idea, and I think that this would be the best option to even out pvp for higher ranked play while letting people keep their individuality for all levels of play.
agreed with this. It will make everyone happy and the asurans can be asurans and the others can still read animations normally. There now no one has to flame one another.
I like this thread, knowing it isn’t just me and my friend (Especially my friend) who get this sort of backlash. My friend gets loads of rage directed towards him, I get a few occasionally, most recent I was trying out a Warrior build (BTW it wasn’t 100Blades and I hardly play warrior in PVP at all this was basically a new class overall to play as).
Anyway near the end of the match which we lost anyway, this random thief (may I add a BS thief) started saying how I’m “low” spamming 2 (on Rifle?), and how nooby I am. Which is weird considering this was my first time with this build/Class, I could kill him no problem without the rest of his team butting in, I could tank and distract quite well on this build too, yet I’m being called a noob by someone using the “OP thief build”
TL;DR – This basically went on for 3 rounds until he left, he also stated my Engie friend (who I pvp with Frequently, and the guy who usually gets raged at) was carrying me, even though most of the time I killed him I was by my self…
rifle 2 does basically nothing on war that dude must of been high.
Whenever someone says you couldn’t 1v1 me I reply “This is a team game, I don’t have to 1v1 you”
I’ve had people running the good old backstab build attacking people at random in duels. Even after being told they were in a duel server many times. They only ever attack when someone else was in a fight. I got my but handed to me when trying to fight him off because I was experimenting with random builds at the time and had no defense capabilities selected for my ele.
Ran into him again with my normal build and decimated the crap out of his but. Sweet sweet justice.
Had another guy beat me, while I was dueling with my friend. He said: “your so bad, learn to play your classez”
Me and my friend ran into him when we were on the same team. I beat him, then my friend when he respawned and we both said “your so bad, learn to play your classez”. Best day ever
yeah sweet justice of wrecking those type of players when it is fair.
