Guild Wars 2

Stage one: Denial

:3

No doubt a lovely Trait (try it with Hammer 3!) but yeah, its more about adding a some extra ompf! to your Cripples, not about combos.

Well, to be fair, most of use do use it as a self-buff.

The buffing of allies is just a side-effect!

40 Health per 3 seconds I believe, not affected by Healing Power.

Wait wait wait… So, lets throw the entire BLTC into a garbage bin?

Because removing one line of items that are horribly manipulated beyond reason would totally kill the BLTC.

Oh wait…

Steel for the darker parts, Ivory for the lighter?

The drunken rage part, I guess…?

o rly?

Why on earth would you delete a character with a Legendary?!

I always thought he was a giant Silver Surfer

Considering Trahearne’s combat “prowess”, I don’t think so. I mean, he is the creme de la creme with a fancy legendary Saladbowl-type sword and he can’t kill anything.

The problem is that the animation is too long without Quickness. You’re leaving yourself vulnerable.

Quaggans are the best thing to have happened to the world of gaming in, like, forever!

The only one that bugs me is the Male Norn’s animation for auto-attacking with a Sword as a Guardian/Warrior.

I’d really love to figure out how to melee her, though. Between her silly AoE burning aura and Retaliation, I just can’t do it.

:S

Frenzy has a long cooldown.

A Warrior can’t burst with Hundred Blades without comboing CC and Quickness.

A Thief will be able to burst a lot more frequently than a Warrior, by far.

I’d rather that Trahearne himself turns into a new Pale Tree so that we don’t ever, ever have to suffer through his company on our adventures ever again!!!

No. Nonono. NO!

Imagine the Sylvari storyline in an expansion or even Guild Wars 3: Trahearne as old and wise Pale Tree and the player character regularly seeks his guidance as part of the story. Trahearne would be probably a part of a Sylvari “Pantheon” along with (the at least two) other Pale Trees … just like Kormir…

I’d rather him being reduced to a “mentor” or “adviser” type character than the main character of the story arch.

And I’m Norn; I don’t give a dolyak’s kitten about the Sylvari storyline!

That’s what you get for buying stuff made by Asura child laborers….

How do you melee the Guardian boss in CM path 2? Bridgette I believe her name is.

FGJ is one of the Warrior’s best, and most iconic, abilities.

Speak for yourself. Corsets are highly attractive!

As far as I know, each “bite” applies the Stun over and over again.

You already have a huge advantage in that you get to keep all your Traits.

Tedious? I find this bossfight hilarious.

With the price of Precursors, Legendaries definitely need less gold sinks. The Icy Runestones should be removed.

Good idea, give players wanting a legendary 100g more to spend on a precursor. That won’t raise the price of precursors at all. /sarcasm

Yeah because supply/demand is how Precursors are priced. Not like you have a few players having monopoly on them or nothing.

Oh wait…

I’d rather that Trahearne himself turns into a new Pale Tree so that we don’t ever, ever have to suffer through his company on our adventures ever again!!!

You get three stacks, which each has one or two Badges in them.

So at a minimum three, maximum six.

10g @ miyabi…

u really start hating her after a while because not only does she eat your gold in 2 recipies, but also you’ll be her sugarmomma/daddy in skill points even after u get your legendary.

Don’t be too hard on her.

She’s but a slave to the true evil; the genie in the Mystic Toilet, Zommoros.

In fact, sharp weapons are for suckers.

Maces and Hammers are the bees’ knees!

He should’ve said his last name was Threepwood. That would’ve fooled them for sure.

It has it’s uses, mainly in the Adrenaline-building department. But yeah, it is generally considered one of the worse off-hands.

Well, the problem is that Sword isn’t too impressive in the off-hand, sadly. If you want a Sword, you’ll want it in your main-hand for the Leap/Burst.

Prezzy.2783:

Congratulations on telling me that warbanner suits your build because you use warhorn.

Has it ever crossed your mind that there are other builds / weapons?

Oh – and Warbanner has a crazy CD

I think you’re confused here. I am not the one being pro-Warbanner in this discussion.

I run Warhorn…

New Heavy Profession

Lets even out the numbers!

Signet of Rage “suxx”? It is one of the greatest Elites in the game! I’ll let my FGJ! do my talking over Warbanner. They’re mostly interested in the Fury Boon anyway, at least to my experience.

You’d be hard pressed to keep 10+ stacks with an Axe build, yes. With some Might duration you could at the most get 11 stacks for a short period when your FGJ overlap for short bit+Signet of Rage.

1) Most trash mobs will function as described on the Wiki.

2) A lot of special enemies have their own aggro rules. A good example are the Bandit Riflemen in CM: They will always target the one with the least toughness/armour and prefer targets that are holding ranged weapons. So much so they don’t even retaliate to players striking them in melee if there are ranged targets available!

For future reference, there’s a whole bunch of them. They’re called Modniir Weapons:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Modniir_weapons

25 perma-stacks of Might is not hard to maintain though. Not with Hundred Blades, Whirlwind Attack and multiple mobs.

Lighthammer.3280:

Remove any kind of stats and runes from it, and make it mimic your Helm stats and rune instead.

Bingo! That’s the best idea I’ve heard regarding them, really.

EasymodeX.4062:

The term “supremacy” is supremely hilarious though, I must admit.

Nontheless it is true. Stand around Lion’s Arch for a few and watch different Warriors come and go and take a count of how many are using Greatswords.

Because Dolyaks are clearly the Norn (read: superior) choice!

EasymodeX.4062:

So, in case anyone’s wondering, the Axe1 chain is around 14% stronger raw dps than hundred blades, which is in turn about 2% stronger than GS autoattacks. The 3.5 second (e.g. slow as hell) channel really kills it.

The highest DPS ability is whirlwind attack, due to its insane speed and good damage in melee. Only caveat is that you have to turn back around and re-engage, which tends to stall the dps by a half second. This can be mitigated, however.

Eviscerate isn’t as good as WA, but is significantly better than HB/Axe1/etc.

Generally speaking, don’t neglect that axe also has traits that it can pick up.

For super sustained DPS, GS may be able to get more raw output because there are more traits / useful traits for it. That is, unless the Axe Warr has some group support lulz.

Are you including the 25 perma-Might stacks you get via Forceful Greatsword? That Trait alone is usually what annihilates any opposition to Greatsword supremacy, sadly.

LieutenantGoogle.7326:

Like a mesmer downed state?

Yeah, but repeated over and over without creating a clone.

cafard.8953:

Saw an opponent do that ages ago, but it was most definitely not random. The porting went all the way from the tunnel at ****lake tower to the south east spawn, as fast as i could run.

Looked random to me, but I guess they could’ve just done it for the sake of confusion…

Is it better to upgrade them, or just pawn them in order to afford the metric ton of other stuff you need? At 2-4 silver a piece, it adds up to quite a nice profit but you desperately need tons of T6 materials too…

Whirlwind Attack also counts as an evade.

You’re immune to damage when spinning.

That makes it better than Hundred Blades for me in PvE (see a boss winding up an attack? Spin through him!)

I dunno. I just think it looks ugly with all that teal. I’d very much prefer for them to have actual rich textures. AC weapons get away with it because

1) Only at night, they have real textures too
2) The glow makes it not look so bad, quite the opposite.

You’re never killing a good Elementalist/Thief/Mesmer.

That’s the downside to Warriors. You’re hopelessly impotent in the face of their “cheap tricks” that will leave you confused and confuddled.
