I would love this trait if it affected all my weapons. It is pretty nice on hammer, but i’d prefer to be able to use it on other weapons as well since I don’t use hammer that often. I’ve really started to like single handed sword/focus with greatsword.
I love the idea of giving it a visual effect. Glowing blue weapons are kinda awesome.
Making people craft is just unacceptable in a modern MMO.
At least make Ascended backpieces (and weapons…and armor) sellable on the TP.
This, so much this. I hate crafting. I only bothered making ascended weapons because I don’t have the option to just buy them from someone of the TP. Why Anet, why account bound? There’s no reason for it. Make all ascended items sellable on the TP. Crafting is excruciatingly boring, i’d rather grind for gold and buy it.
Agree with you on this. I like to play as all classes as well, but I see little point any more in playing anything besides warrior. It’s just on a whole different level than all the other classes. It doesn’t even feel like it belongs in the same game as the other classes any more because they overbuffed it so much. And for an altaholic like me, it gets REALLY boring just playing the same class all the time. It’s just pointless to play anything but warrior because they all feel so weak in comparison to warrior, who can do everything they can do exponentially better. They need to either buff all the other classes to be on par with warrior, or nerf warrior. Even if they do buff the others, they still atleast need to tone down the stuns on warrior. its ridiculous that I can keep someone nearly permastunned while I regen the little damage they do to me completely. Other warriors seem to forget that other classes don’t fart out stability and condition removal like we do, except for guardians. The only thing that can really put up a fight at all is a really good guardian or another warrior.
so you just agreed on a post full of fos arguments and flaw logic. and look at your last post, you just said that your 4k armor guardian gets backstab for 7-12k, please tell me that’s a little to non damage, and other classes don’t need to take down warrior with stability, i 1v1’ed a hammer war with 3 signet thief. and mesmer faceroll warrior(common sense) not because they fart out stabilities, you are just a noob, stop man, you should really do some research before posting BS and non sense.
Typical forum warrior response. The class is broken. Any one with half a brain can see that. Stop defending it. Maybe you need a crutch like permastuns to rely on, but some of us don’t. It wouldn’t surprise me if you’re one of those people who also think perplexity runes are balanced.

Mel is a great elementalist and as an ele is far superior to daphoenix and his build fixes the lack of defence and armor that an ele has with 3k armor. Ele’s problem was never the lack of health, ele has enough the problem was that ele was constantly getting dmg of 3k+ if he didn’t dodge, while Mel’s build has problems they’re mostly appearant when you run into someone with +40% condition duration.
11k health is basically a backstab and then just 2s.
Exactly. My guardian has almost 4k armor and I can still get hit for 7-12k backstabs somehow. Health that low is just asking to get oneshot by some sneaky thief. There really is no point in going above the 2500-2700 mark. Thieves will still hit you for insane damage. I dropped some of the defense for more power and still get hit for around the same amount but I kill them a lot faster now. After a certain point, armor isn’t worth it and you need to focus more on killing them before they kill you.
Arcane abatement has been bugged forever. It doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do in water attunement. You get the reduced fall damage, but not the healing wave that’s supposed to proc. Mist form is also bugged, it sometimes wont break stun, and you can be stunned, feared, knocked down, while in mist form. Vapor form is also vulnerable to CC as well.
I’ve only done 1 temple event and spend the rest of the time in WvW, and have 2 ascended weapons and am close to having enough mats to make a 3rd. So your argument is invalid. Flip enough camps and keeps and you’ll have more than you know what to do with. Why should the weapons that I worked for to get be downgraded because you’re too lazy to get them for yourself when it’s mindlessly easy to get it in the first place? Follow a karma train around for a week when you get a bad matchup and you’ll have enough mats to make 1 ascended weapon and still have some dust and shards left over.
Fastcar, I like how you think outisde the box. Most I see do infact just copy some FOTM build from these forums. They only play a class if it is O.P. due to a current patch mistake .I.E. the thousands of hammer warriors all over. This game is about having fun. maybe fun for some people is support or "troll"builds. Both your healing and regen builds can help the realm for sure. I have tested all healers now. I agree warrior is by far the best combat healer. ( also the most HPS in the game. Using your tricks I am able to heal way over 20 at once 415+ a tick. The overall effect of the range+buffs and sheer number you can effect is staggering. When I play the self regen build it is AMAZING as you said. I was able to get nearly 1900 regen. Farming these runes took some time for the regen trick. never thought to use 3 diff runes.“unkillible” may be a bad name. To the OP of thread maybe “nearly unkillable” would have been a better name. I especially love the fact that poison literally does nothing to me because I regen so much, it’s not even noticeable.
Why do you all think a warrior can make high dmg AND have high life/toughness?
You have to decide or play a half/half build…
Not the Warriors does the damage in zergfights. Warriors are in the frontline so you maybe think they do but thats not how it works. In WvW most Warriors have high life and toughness so the other zerg can put their spells on them and they still can survive. The damage comes from the backline. Warriors are for stuns and not for dmg. If you play a full bersi warrior you will plop like popcorn in a microwave if you run into a big zerg. (some really well played full bersis maybe not that fast)
This is a troll post right? I’m assuming it is because no one could possibly be that dense. Warrior absolutely does not have to sacrifice anything like other classes do. I have over 3500 armor on my warrior, regen for 1500, my pindown alone does 19k bleed damage. I have insane mobility as well. And conditions drop off of me faster than a cheerleader’s panties on prom night. So people say “oh just use poison” LOL, nope. Doesn’t do a thing to me, and good luck trying to immobilize me. You’ve obviously never played as a warrior if you think they have to make any kind of sacrifices. With other classes you do have to make a choice between damage, defense, or support. Not with warrior, you can do everything without sacrificing at all. I’ve actually gotten bored of mine because of how stupidly faceroll easy and OP the class has become. It is the very definition of high reward and no risk, even more so than thief now. Atleast in the past with warrior, when I beat someone I knew it was because I was better than them. Now it’s pretty much a guaranteed win unless you’re fighting another warrior who’s better than you.
Good matchup so far. Things seem fairly even on all sides, let’s hope it stays that way. It’s more fun when things keep flipping back and forth and you have no idea how things will turn out.
I love how all these people keep saying how they could kill someone that they haven’t even fought yet. People really love to talk crap they can’t back up. The people who have actually faced this person haven’t been able to kill them yet, so what makes you think you can?
but, but…I don’t wanna be a support class. I already have a guardian for that. I’d rather be a ranged nuker that can deal massive AoE damage, ya know like how mages have been in every single game ever in the history of video games.
i’d suggest making a warrior if you come back and use that for any serious content. use the ele just for fun. You’ll cause yourself a lot less grief that way.
Really? I noticed the exact opposite. If anything I’ve gotten a hell of a lot stronger. I was almost positive we got a stealth buff somewhere. Although at this point I wouldn’t put it past anet to pull something and not say anything. They LOVE stealth nerfs and they usually stealth nerf every single class I play as in just about every patch.
Everyone plays warrior now anyway since it’s the current fotm OP class, so it shouldn’t matter anyway. It’s not like it’s difficult to find a warrior to party with to give you buffs. Throw a rock and you’ll hit atleast 2 of them in wvw.
I love this change. Now I can be sure my party gets the buffs instead of the random scrubs and uplevels who decide to tag along for whatever reason. Better my party get the buffs that they would need during a crucial moment like stability rather than hoping it hits them and instead some random person who is just rally bait anyway ends up getting hit by it instead.
THE TRUTH : Every server I have seen ( including us) often will lose ONE major fight and 90% of the casual players just log off. Sad that this happens over and over. I have seen servers FULL, lose 1 zerg VS zerg fight and drop down to 5-10 left on in 2 mins or less. I wont even get into how many are hacking or ALT+F4 when attacked. At the end of the day folks…it is a game. So much talk and people that whine on these forums. Here is video PROOF of sub par typical players. Read comments and Subscribe.

Just like mistform, which is no longer worth using because it’s been nerfed so much. Our arcane skills will follow suit and eventually also become worthless as well. They want us to all use nothing but signets now and hide in a zerg being boon monkeys for their golden child, the warrior.
I’m not the least bit surprised at this point. I fully go in expecting to be nerfed whenever a new patch comes out. Warriors will continue becoming more godlike and overpowered while we keep getting nerfed to the point where we can’t even kill a rabbit without help from another class.
I for one hope it’s a 90 sec cooldown. There are plenty of less powerful runes that have 90 sec cooldowns for a powerful effect to happen even though most of them have only a slight CHANCE of that 6 rune bonus proccing. The 6 rune bonus on perplexity is guaranteed to happen on interrupt, yet has no cooldown? What genius thought that was ok?
I’m surprised they haven’t fixed these stupid runes already. runes shouldn’t be exponentially more powerful than character traits. There are way crappier runes that have 90 second cooldowns. Why this has no cooldown at all, I just cant fathom any possible reason. I might as well buy a set for all my characters. Already have some for warrior and thief just to troll people. Might as well buy them for everyone if they aren’t going to fix these stupidly overpowered things. All other runes are inferior compared to them because of how over the top they are. Almost everyone I run into in wvw runs perplexity runes. I’m gimping myself by not having them since literally almost every single person I face has them.
staff damage already has been nerfed into oblivion. Its damage was cut by over 60% after beta. They need to undo that and make it a weapon actually worth using for something besides hiding in zergs or being a combo field monkey for everyone else so they can do damage. I miss how it used to be. It was so much fun before.
My elementalist, albeit a berserker staff ele, simply can’t go to the higher level areas and survive in pve content because his armour, despite being full exotic, is still paper-thin. I even tried going full toughness, along with the signet which increases toughness – and it still didn’t seem to make any difference, so I ended up going back to full berserker gear + stats.
I think the main thing elementalists definitely lack is survivability. Like another player has said, you literally get 2 hit ko’ed by thieves (REALLY annoying – not to mention by the time you realize you’re being ninja’d and try to press any skills, you’re already downed), or 2 hit by siege. It’s ridiculous.
Well that’s how mages are in most games. Although in most other games the mage class has the highest damage of all the classes as well. We have the lowest. Just waiting for someone to come in now and say ele has high damage and post some gimmicky hammer build that can’t survive without an entire party built around supporting your build just so you can do as much damage as a warrior can do by himself.
I seriously hope they nerf lightning hammer into oblivion just so people can no longer say eles have decent damage and we can get some much needed boosts to our base stats and the base damage of all our abilities. I made an ele to play as a mage, not as a poor man’s hammer warrior. I’d rather stand back and drop meteors that hit for 10k each.
I’d be okay with a double CD on miss… as long as the skill itself actually works like RTL, an extremely fast, accurate move, with a small blast radius capable of hitting and knocking down multiple targets.
The current version of rush misses IMMOBILE targets 50% of the time, to say nothing of moving targets.
Or, heaven forbid, dodging targets. The animation is so telegraphed it’s almost impossible to get hit.
Actually RTL doesn’t do the knockdown, that would be updraft. And its definitely not accurate. Easily dodged by anyone with half a brain who sees the big glowing orb headed towards them and sometimes misses things right in front of you. It also will get snagged on the ground if the ground is slightly elevated for some reason. Its pretty buggy right now. And the fact you get locked out of your skills while doing it kinda sucks if someone immobilizes you. You’re a big floating “kill me” sign.
Trust me, you don’t want it changed to be like RTL. I’d just prefer rush to be a bit more accurate than it is now.
yaks numbers or not they still are really really bad players, the main reason them even getting matched up with us is because they cant cope with servers in their tier who actually cordinate and have tactics lmao oh man u guys crack me up.. btw [GLOB] needs to leave your server you dnt deserve them. on a lighter note it was tons of fun flipping yaks t3 garri and hills earlier today. cheers.
It’s attitudes like this that make us do things like this
Have fun trying to get out now.
And it’s pics like that which just shows how pathetic your server truly is.
Hey I tired being nice in the beginning because I know how crappy it is to be on the receiving end of this sort of thing. I know it sucks, so I don’t blame you for being mad. But your forum warriors have gotten on my nerves and my patience is gone now. So i’m going to drop all the siege I have throughout this entire matchup and really give you something to cry about now.

Man trebs while spawn camping is just a whole nother level of sad.
In fairness, we’ve done this to DH and others. Usually fairweathers do it.
I personally havent seen us use siege while spawn camping anyone but maybe i was absent that day. I dont deny that many servers who are on top of the match spawn camp, yes SF has done it a few weeks ago. But i have never seen a server do it for hours on end with siege.
Be glad you never fought Dragonbrand back when they had enough people to have 100 man zergs on every map simultaneously. They would not only siege spawn camp us with groups of 20-30+ near all possible exits from the spawn, they’d also run directly into our spawn and laugh and dance just to be be total kittens. We just do it at the main exit of your spawn and that’s pretty much it.
If it’s just for looks, pick whatever you find most appealing. If for combat though, pick asurans as their animations for some of the skills are way less obvious and you can take advantage of that. There’s a reason why there’s so many asuran fotm build warriors running around everywhere.
Don’t expect fair fights from all the fairweathers who showed up when they found out this would be an easy match. most of our usual roamers are bored out of our minds right now and are just farming at your spawn because we know if we try to fight someone out on the open, other people are gonna jump in from our side. Atleast that’s what i’m doing.
Every time I’ve tried to fight just 1 person, a bunch of scrubs jump in. That’s why you just see gank squads of people running around. that would be our fairweathers looking for some easy kills. We don’t like them anymore than you do. My main beef with them is that they’re never around to help when we actually do need help, like against a server with higher population than us. Your best bet is to hang by one of the windmills.
The guy above me summed it up pretty nicely, we’re bored.
Awww but you guys have superior bloodlust. And according to Anet’s logic that should help you against us spawn camping you. I’m mainly trying to prove a point to Anet that these matchups are fun for no one and Devon is wrong about everything he’s ever said regarding WvW balance. You guys just happen to be unfortunate victims of the point i’m trying to make. And I have hundreds of unused siege prints since I usually only roam and hold onto whatever I pick up from loot. So now I finally decided to use it just to be a kitten. There’s little point to roaming around at this point, especially for those of us who are poor. This is as good as PvE farming. I’ve made like 30g in the past couple days farming you guys.
Sadly this is what WvW has become. It’s no longer about having epic battles between 3 armies, not knowing who will be victorious in the end. It’s just become a huge farming mode. You either farm them, or get farmed yourself. They can easily fix this and there have been many suggestions on how to fix the population imbalance and horrible matchup system. But Anet likes how things are because it means more money for them because people are hopping servers all the time. They don’t realize that they’re screwing themselves though. It may be making them money now, but when another MMO that has decent and balance realm vs realm combat, they’re going to lose a lot of people and a lot of money when everyone jumps ship for an MMO that can deliver what we’ve been asking them to change.
if elementalist is underpowered then why it took me 30min to defeat a bunker ele? we were in sPvP, map changed twice, we fought in three different maps and when the 15min line passed I became bored thinking I never ever get him down nor does he get me down. How I won him? I really didn’t, he wanted go to a gym.
I was bunkerish condition warrior.
My initial guess is you aren’t very good :/
no, bunker/bunkerish ele are the most difficult thing to kill as a warrior specially a bunkerish one
you can 1v1 one of them for more then 40 mins without result.
Don’t forget I was condition warrior: dual sword + longbow and he had condition cleaning build. :P
And I still say you’re horrible for not being able to kill him. If you knew how to build a warrior the right way, he wouldn’t have even been a challenge. You’re probably using that fail meta condition build that everyone thinks is good. If you built yourself properly you’d be able to reapply those conditions faster than he could possibly cure them.

So many horrible warriors out there I see. Then how come I can drop them in seconds without any problem whatsoever? I have friends on other servers I usually duel with when we’re up against eachother. I know their exact build. Some of them run standard bunker build which everyone complains about being nearly impossible to kill. I’ve seen them take on 10-20 other people and not die, so they certainly aren’t bad. Yet I can drop those bunker eles in a few seconds. Like I said, most people who play warrior are idiots and you suck and have no idea how to properly (key word here being properly) build a warrior. As long as you keep using FOTM builds, of course you’re going to have trouble and keep failing like 99% of the warriors in this game who don’t know the amazing strength of the class.
we really have no one to blame but Anet for these lopsided matchups. Rarely does an even matchup ever happen. It’s usually roll over the enemy or get rolled yourself and Anet still refuses to admit they’re wrong and their system is flawed.
If YB had a bit of smarts… they could keep the scores a bit less lop sided… dangle the carrot so to speak.. to effectively karma train more. Just saying.
We enjoy spawn camping too much to do that. Don’t worry though, when we get bored of that we’ll let you take a few things back so we can take them again. Need that dragonite ore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItugh-fFgg
And that is precisely why you and most other warriors fail. You rely on those formulas which mean absolute kitten . We test things out in game. what works on paper is never the same as how it works in game.

If you can’t kill an ele with a warrior, i’m sorry you’re just a bad player. That or you’re using a fail build you got off the forum somewhere. A decently built condition warrior with even a fraction of a brain can melt any bunker within seconds. You’re doing something wrong. But without seeing your build or how you play, I can’t tell you what exactly you’re doing wrong.
You should think before you type. You just showed how close minded you are and it is crusted with some negativity and it has a bitter cherry on the top.
When someone builds a survival character without dmg and enemy same kind build, it’s no wonder they can’t kill each other. They bouth are build to survive and not to deal dmg. You diss ele because u don’t know what utilities they have, how good cc they have, how good healing they have. I was condition dealer, he was condition cleaner. He was counter to my build while I was to his.
Negativity and close mindness isn’t good ya know wad ima talking about, dawg?
You sir, are an idiot. And you have no idea what you’re talking about. I mained ele before switching to warrior, so I know how they work. regardless of all the condition removal ele has, a decently built condition warrior can reapply all the conditions faster than they can cure them. even the super tanky 0/0/20/20/30 with full melandru runes and -40% condition duration food will melt in seconds to my condtion warrior. and I regen for 1500 and have over 3500 armor. My pindown alone does nearly 19k worth of bleed damage. every time I crit, which is almost every single attack, I proc a bleed as well.
You can’t regen 1500 per second. There goes ur credibility.
And you just keep thinking that. Every single time idiots on the forum who think they know what they’re talking about makes some claim that i’m wrong, we usually make vids proving them wrong. Then we’re flooded with mail in game from kids apologizing about being idiots and begging my guild to share our builds. And we laugh and tell them to go F themselves.
You are wrong, I am right. And we’re getting a little bit sick of having to make videos to shut people up who don’t know what they’re talking about. 99% of the people on the forums are wrong. Maybe I should just screen shot and post all the messages we’ve gotten from idiot kids over the past few months who thought they knew better but were ultimately proved wrong.
well, we won. Big shock. I can’t express in words what happened in this matchup, so I’ll let this song explain it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04854XqcfCYWe clicked our way to victory.
We out number you? We use tons of siege? We cant kills you in fair fights? Clickers are terrible? healers are useless? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx__fCbdUxA&feature=c4-overview&list=UU_c5me8szrav_8syKKweGew
We enjoyed farming you. Don’t forget to subscribe! Oh and congrats on the few kills you managed to get. A lot of us were using you for leveling alts and the majority of people in there were barely above level 30.
What I learned from that video is that you click your skills and play in a bathroom.
And what does that say about you guys getting owned by clickers playing in a bathroom? Imagine what it would be like for you if we actually got serious.

A warrior can self buffed regen something around 900 per second. ( a bit more, depends on how much healing you achieve)
and that’s only IF:
staying at 3 stages of adrenaline or that regen per second drop.
Being FULL +healing (like full apotechary and kitten)
Being Banner regen specced, so spending 30 points into tactics. (LoL)
And that is why most warriors fail my friend. You rely on incorrect formulas and fail builds you pull off the forums written up by some dumb kid who’s theorycrafted it but never actually tested it in real combat.
Even though you often outnumber us, you’re still coming in far behind us. The servers are pretty evenly matched this time. They just have no idea what teamwork is. The problem is all the kids rage quit when they start getting stomped. They do have the manpower to face us, they just stopped logging in after awhile and are now just getting farmed by us. If you guys could fight as well on the field as you can talk crap in the forums, maybe you wouldn’t be getting spawn camped by us.
And then that cleanse is on a 40 second cooldown, and I reapply those 25 stacks right after you use it ticking away at 200+ per tick while you wait for your long cooldown to cleanse it again. And if you use ether renewal, I interrupt it and it goes on full cooldown. And you switch to water to cleanse it, I use pindown on you again and auto attack you stacking another 25 bleeds. And then I drop my combustive shot on you which ticks for over 1k.
Again, why would I stand there and allow multiple people the opportunity to attack me? 1 on 1, I killed you, simple as that. I used the terrain to my advantage and didn’t rely on superior numbers to try and take you down. I just forced you to fight away from your friends in an area where your movement was limited, out of aggro range of the guards so they wouldn’t attack you either.
You didn’t drop me even once. what the hell are you talking about? And I ran when I saw your friends rush up near you. I assumed they were there to jack me. So I wasn’t about to stand someplace where i’m at a disadvantage.
The first time I did try fighting him away from the bridge and as soon as I dropped him, one of the other thieves came up and started attacking me. Think I was going to let that happen again? So yeah, I used the terrain to my advantage where I couldn’t be jacked from behind by someone else. Apparently you don’t use tactics on your server. There’s a reason why armies no longer all line up in a row and fire muskets at eachother ya know. It’s just plain stupidity to give your opponent any kind of opportunity to get you. if I can avoid getting killed while killing my enemy in the process, then I’ve won. The loser is the one who winds up dead on the floor, like you did several times.
Why would I stand out in the open where I could be jacked by one of your friends from behind, like they tried several times already? And you’re a thief, so of course i’m going to try limiting your movement and keeping you constricted to fighting in a smaller area, so I can force you to stand in my AoE if you want to attack me. It’s called tactics and using the terrain to my advantage.
