Guild Wars 2

Without considering adding a different, but unique reward to story mode?

:(

Warrior having the highest dps in the game? I’ll have what you’re smoking!

It is only 80g…

“Food items that give special bonuses upon a critical hit now have an internal cooldown before they can produce the special bonus again.”

This could potentially mean that Omnomberry Pies/Ghosts will be nerfed quite a bit. All speculation on my part, of course. This would prove devastating to certain ’zerker builds, as it is what keeps them alive.

An entire playstyle crushed in one patch with no reason, nobody said it was overpowered in pve or pvp.

You dont think that a heavy armor wearing class that can pretty much get 100% crit rating and go full offensive in both traits and gear while being healed all the time isn’t overpowered?

I want what you smoke.

Warrior jumps into cluster of 15 mobs and just starts swinging and doing not only the most damage of any profession for their direct and crit damage but healing at the same time because they are criting on no less than 3 mobs at a time lol…. ya that wasn’t OP at all.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: the total Armour difference between Light and Heavy is less than 15%.

Regardless, Toughness/Vitality is of no consequence without sustain.

It is not that we didn’t understood the fight. We got him down to half Health. Then he just spazzed out and the traps stopped stripping him of his Ghostly Shield…

Have you ever equipped a Hammer or Focus on your Guardian?

Plenty of CC.

As for escapes, Warriors don’t have any either.

Khal Drogo.9631:

Aggro is not so clear cut. Mobs still go for the glass cannon warriors when my 2549 defense mesmer is around.

I notice this most visibly with the COF P1 slave driver and HOTW P1 troll. I am standing closer, have better toughness than the GS warrior and they go out of their way to chase down the warrior. In the wiki I tot I read something about highest DPS being part of the aggro table

Damage and proximity are also contributing to aggro. As such, a close-range Profession dealing high damage does generate quite a lot of aggro.

Crafting – make it a “Mini Legendary” in the sense that you would need “mini Gifts” to create it. All of which would be 100% farmable and not rely on RNG.

Does Flamethrower auto-attack still miss 99% if the target is moving? Or did they fix that?

If not, I’d fix that!

Still stacks Bleed like a maniac
A ranged stun, spammable
A two-stage knockdown combo that is ranged and inflicts Cripple and Bleed in addition to the knockdown
Fear/Weakness shout

Jesus H Christ on a pogostick! “Over the top” comes to mind, lol. Thank the lard he is optional most of the times.

Brawl.5178:

The dolyak signet seems kinda weak. It only add 90 toughness at level 80 which isn’t very much. It then gives stability when activated when we already have balanced stance and a passive trait skill that gives it. Maybe some protection for 9 1/2 seconds would he more useful instead

I would say otherwise.

Balanced Stance is weak. I alrady have Dolyak Signet which adds me toughness AND use for stability buff.

Toughness is pretty bleh.

Balanced Stance breaks stuns and has 20 seconds shorter cooldown. You can improve the duration of the Stability via a Trait.

Dolyak Signet is probably the worst Signet in the game.

If only I hadn’t invested like 5-6 months in my Warrior, lol

Been my main since launch.

I appreciate the Ghostbusters reference, but please just change him back already…

Pretty please?

1) At times he will bug out and just stand around. This makes it impossible to lure him to the traps.

2) The traps, despite being fully charged, will not strip him of his “Ghostly Shield”.

Lexy.3912:

They are not in the guild puzzles (which currently can’t be accessed) – the waypoints are right outside the entrances, so they can be ‘found’ by anyone. It exactly the same as waypoints outside of dungeon entrances.

Where are they, then? I’ve not been able to find them…

notebene.3190:

Oglaf.1074:

Critters no longer work for any “Kill”-type daily.

NOOOO!

Actually it was probably better that they fixed that. Poor locals had no salmon to eat in Frostgorge when that quest was up.

Pfft. After I speared them, I left them for the Quaggans to collect and eat!

There is one more in Brisband Wildlands.

Any idea where that one is?

Mad Rasputin.7809:

There are two new WPs, both added for guild puzzles I believe. Brisbane Wildlands and Plains of Ashford.

Argh, can they be gotten solo? I’m really OCD about my World Completion percentage…!

I’m down to 509/511 despite having gotten 100% a while ago. After much searching, I discovered the culprits to be Brisban Wildlands and Plains of Ashford.

Were there additional WPs added this patch?

This patch knocked me down to 99% world completion. Seems there is an extra WP in this area… Anyone know where?

EDIT: There is also on additional WP added in Plains of Ashford…?

It was a Warrior nerf because it removed a much needed band-aid to fix the glaring sustain issue the class suffers from.

Critters no longer work for any “Kill”-type daily.

Ashebyrne.8352:

I know this is a stretch but what if teh consortium are behind the dredge and flame legion combining together. I do not trust them – they are not helping the grawl and it just seems opportunism on their behalf. If they are not behind the joining together they will be up to something later I am sure

Its all a plot to get the Refugees to visit their beach resort in Southsun Cove!

Muhahahaha!

Long hair is a double-edged sword.

It might look cool, but boy does it like to clip with shoulderpads and stuff.

Knight’s is a curse, really.

More Toughness=More aggro.

If you don’t care about the passive component, why use it? Balanced Stance does what the active part of Doylak Signet does but better.

Shorter cooldown.
Breaks Stuns.

Just take a look at the patch notes: Elementalists got a buff to their auras. Warriors got cleave on their Banners. Who in their right mind would smack something with a Banner?!?

The Dev(s) in charge of the Warrior Profession has no idea what they’re doing.

Of course they dodge.

They freaking heal when they dodge!

Im running on 1,7k toughness with forge runes on 20k hp, i need to get more?

My friend that plays guardian running in full zerk gear, has maybe 12k hp at best and can survive far longer than i do, i understand everything is ok?

I dunno. Are you dying? If you are, then you need to practice.

I hardly dying, i just moves to rifle when things goes bad for me

Nailed it.

Melee Warriors are the new melee Thieves in PvE. The only difference before was that thanks to your cleave+Pies we could sustain ourselves where Thieves can’t. Now that has changed.

But with heavy armor which apparently means nothing, right? xD
Have you ever played a thief? Do you know how to evade mob attack without dodge?

If answer is no to either of those questions, I have some very, very bad news for you

The difference in total armour between Heavy and Light is less than 15%.

Anything that deals with percent rather than a fixed number is awesome. It is kitten well better than 80 Toughness on Dolyak Signet, that’s for sure.

Ravenmoon.5318:

I have yet to see a guardian having that signet in the buff bar xD You are hillarious.

The fact that such an awesome Signet is rarely used pretty much shows you how tanky a Guardian is by default.

runeblade.7514:

Ssshh, It is okay. Warriors without Onom ghost aren’t actually bad at all if you’re skilled at it.

Nice attempt at creating a strawman, bro.

We’re talking tankyness here, nothing else.

Just… stop replying. You’ve no idea what you’re talking about. Toughness and Health pool means nothing without the means to replenish your Health in the same way a Guardian does. Also, in top of easy access to Protection, Guardians have a signet that cuts 10% of all damage received. That alone is better than anything Warriors have.

Ravenmoon.5318:

You guys do realize that tanky warrior is actually more tanky than a guardian right?

So. Very. Wrong.

Guardian self-healing blows Warrior self-healing out of the water. Warriors also do not have access to neither Protection nor Aegis.

azmodeus.3409:

every other life steal has a cd on proc. look at sigils of blood. you have to be deluding yourself to believe onom pies were WAI…

Yeah, and look how many players are using Sigil of Blood….

Iavra.8510:

Food should never be a crucial part of your build. If you need that heal on crit to stay alive it means that your builds are bad and you need to figure out something better.

No, it means your class is bad. Warrior sustain is utter kitten, regardless of build. Omnom Pies were our saving grace.

You can scratch Omnomberry Pies off that list.

They were nerfed to kitten.

1) What class are you?
2) What weapons do you use?
3) Do you stack Toughness?

They should just copy the Guardian signet which has the same description. But instead of adding some pointless Toughness, it actually reduces all damage by 10% freaking percent!

Healing Signet was only good at lower levels, but now you went ahead and nerfed it there without addressing the issue of it scaling horribly into high levels…. Now it is useless in either scenario.

Healing Signet: Reduced low-level healing for this signet without changing healing at higher levels. This signet now heals for 12 points at level 2 instead of 25 and then scales up to heal for 200 points at level 80.

What the…f…? The way its worded make it sound like they’re mocking us: “…without changing healing at higher levels”. Everyone knew that Healing Signet was pretty powerful at lower levels, but then it starts sucking as you gain levels. Now it not only sucks at higher levels, but at lower levels too.

Huzzah for Anet!

I’m gonna eat my entire stack of Omnomberry Pies, as a last act of defiance.

sylint.7634:

Oglaf.1074:

Replace Dolyak Signet with Signet of Stamina.

The extra dodge juice as well as total Condition cleanse is way better than a few extra bits of Toughness. Dolyak Signet is the worst.

Will that drop my survival capabilities? Since I no longer have the reduced incoming damage?

Being able to dodge more often, as well as a “panic button” that cleanses all Conditions greatly enhances your survival.

Maybe those zerker warriors will finally “lose” some of their OPness now. Nerfing them without nerfing their skills, nice job.

Yeah a blanket nerf across the board which nerfs all Professions in order to combat one overpowered build for one Profession.

That’s some NASA-grade rocket science right there!

So you don’t believe that the buff from the pies was kinda overpowered?

It was a necessary evil to allow any Profession that doesn’t have the amazing sustain of Guardian to melee in dungeons.

Rangers are pretty easy, because they don’t have any sort of disengage ability. Bull’s Charge into their face and most Rangers are toast. All you need is Shake It Off to remove their one Cripple. Or if you wanna turn tables on them, bust out a Rifle and kill them at range. It’s hilarious.

It’s what I do when I get depressed in WvW; find myself a poor Ranger to bully.

Warriors can’t survive now? Really?

I believe that is an overstatement and maybe a certain niche of warriors (full zerker warriors) will have a harder time surviving but certainly not all warriors as a whole.

Yes, yes we will. Warrior sustain is horrible. Getting hit by random cleave from melee mobs will be a lot worse.

I guess warriors have to all go rifle now, Melee will be horrible without the sustain they had before.

Or they could….you know….wear some toughness gear. Guess us Guardians will just have to carry warriors more than ever. (Note, Sarcasm meters should be blowing up now.)

I’m wearing Knight’s.

All the Toughness/Vitality in the world will not help you as a Warrior because you do not have the awesome sustain of a Guardian.

Don’t worry, you’ll still be overpowered in WvW
