I think the only thing that was proven was that i lag in NA, but yeah.

.it still proves the point, because if axe is really “kitten” as you said.
you would be owning me even with lag?

well when i can’t dodge a single evisc instead of dodging every evisc, then ofc axe gets usefull. i guess thats an argument on in itself, but if the opponent has decent ping he will dodge every attempt and you will end up wasting all your adren and condi cleanse :/

I think the only thing that was proven was that i lag in NA, but yeah.

Still not convinced.

cool, added you.

I mean mainhand, the whole skillset is just bad and it’s too dependable on eviscerate.

For spvp that is. Please.

If people in queue are doing other kitten, queue times will be longer. I don’t want longer queue times.

nah, i dont care if they dc or ragequits. either way its ruining it for everyone else.

From what I’ve heard, they do need help lol

Thanks for the love mate, I’ll put in the stream in OP and try to stream some more for ya

say bb to ur lung saint, its not gonna happen

Most likely cuz ur bad at the game? jk…

the gemstore version comes pretty close though :P

well yeah if you want to play dungeons you go 65003 or you go home :P but if ur playing living story or open world events then you can play whatever floats your boat

try this :P I giggled while putting it together http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJEQNBMhJakpjKP78w1D6QDUFUYX8AQ3Nk+EehUA-TlCHABEcCAK4BAAwRAAW1fgSJor6DiV5nBHCge2fIMNMkCwMlRA-w

Lower cooldown on shield stance would be neato tho, like 25 seconds cd instead.

The way you worded it made it seem that way :P

why doliak runes tho? i feel yolo build should have scholar runes or something similar :p

I appreciate the support, but I’m not right because Rom is also using it. It is strong because it allows easy application of doom. If you feel you need energy as a crutch though, you can swap out intelligence.

doom is on longbow… Ill just leave this here: http://www.twitch.tv/ishuriyo/b/589916595

Cygnus.6903:

Swap out MH sword for Axe, and sigil of geo for energy, and you have a great build.

axe/sword is weaker mate and not using geomancy/doom is just stupid.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAscTjMdUGaXIWhwJagkgC9onBlwpAQdVU6JPA-TpBHwAAOBAGeAACOEABOCAl2fAZZAA

With this build you can kite two people around a point for days, and duel all builds. It has great mobilety so you can get out of alot of sticky situations and make roaming plays.

An extra 50% bleed duration makes auto attacks and Geomancy/doom combo very strong. You can stack 25 might stacks with battle/fire field/fire aura/versitile power. I usually never use sword burst, unless fire field bugs out, thus i take brawlers recovery for more on demand condition cleanse.

Since it lacks CC it can be lackluster in teamfights. Try it out and let me know how it works out for you.

sigil of inteligence is your friend

I’d rather have it 6 months tbh

But that would limit the viewers, the more viewers the better. This should be about competition, learning and building a fanbase.

Yes on all points, except there shouldnt be any fee’s for watching games and there shouldn’t be a limit of 10 players. I’d also like to see ladders implemented on rated games (like we see in LoL) and make soloq into soloq/duoq.

Yeah longbow gives the most reliable cleansing ire proc, it gives might stacking and zoning. I can’t really argue it’s not strong, but outside of conquest I wouldn’t call it required.

Can we have them in soloq please? I think its due time.

But it’s pointless arguing that warrior’s need longbow. The only reason we use it is because of how conquest works, theres a reason why nobody runs longbow in wvw roaming.

And this is not the case for other classes?

We’re beginning to move off topic though.

Why are you beeing so sore about warriors using longbow? It’s just a very effective weapon at what it does.

For teamfights hambow is still the strongest, for roaming/dueling I find S/S to be the stronger.

@Flitzie.6082

You know which ammy everyone is moaning about beeing op?
You know what kind of weapons are good with celestial?

sword/sword is plenty viable, making it a pure direct damage weapon won’t make it any better in spvp. In wvw I guess it would be good.

Liked second one the most, holy kitten that was funny.

/snip.

It really depends on the build they are running, but in general their biggest advantage over you would be kiting power. Since they only have condi remove on their heal, you can quite easily overload them with conditions if you hit with most of your skills. Also use Berserker stance offencively.

I think it’s important to note that pushing far is a very effective strategy when executed correctly. Not only by the one going far, but also the rest of the members. If home is clear and there is a 3v4 going on in mid, the guy on home must go mid. If they collapse on the guy going far, rotate to help him on farpoint or atleast help him get out of the situation.

True, if they are pushin far and there is a guy afk’ing on said point. He is doing it wrong, unless he can burst him down instantly. This won’t happen in most situations. I feel all of the issues people are having here are connected to inefective/poor rotations.

i hope plenty more come with me. cheers.

Na bro.

Patch only made me stronger.

Same here bro.. I have said this in other threads. The good warriors are even better now after this patch.

Great logic there you are using. Let us make strong even stronger and crap even crapier.

well as it was, the crappy were just as good as the good :P

Remember the old games…
When people played PvP for fun and got absolutely no reward for doing it?

i made gold off dyes :P

spent 2 mill glory right before glory patch, i’m still slightly sad.

As of how to implement an actual team leaderboard:

*Any player can only be part of one team at the time
*Starting a game would require a minimum of three players from the same team, rest can be filled with subs
*The rating of the team represented is the one that will shift mmr
*A team can have a maximum of 7 players (2 subs and 5 regulars)

//discuss?//

Hey kyubi, the sword build i posted is very similar. I’d suggest you using on swap sigils though, since they are twice as effective on warrior than any other class.

edited some of the builds slightly

Any ETA on when we hear anything about what you have planned for the next SPvP release?

Nono this is purely for spvp, I wouldn’t recomend clestial in wvw.

Yeah strength rune/dual wielding is a perfectly fine alternative. You trade damage for sustain, I just happen to like the sustain more I guess.

Ban them all Grouch! ban them all!

10/10 very clever post.

Axebow (barely viable)

Man, Axebow is the second most reliable Warrior build for SPVP, right after Hambow (meta).
All the other builds you’ve linked are so BAD that I’d consider myself lucky if one warrior on the enemy team was using them.

You sir clearly don’t know what you are talking about

In terms of S/S build posted, well I think investing in Arms is not that bad either.
Why not this for more condi pressure, while having some Power presure too?

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAscTjMd0FaVImhwJagkABdrMluGoiuqA-TpRFwAEeAAAOBAk2fIxRAAxhA4ZZAA

I have tested this aswell, but dueling other high sustained classes with this is way harder. Without brawlers recovery you lose so much condi clear and therefor sustain. The damage on the two are extremely similar. Longer bleeds are only good against classes struggling with removing them and those fights should be won easily without the trait, so it’s a bit redundant.

We have found our guard, thanks for people asking

they are all 9 seconds.

geomancy/doom and battle/energy most likely

Would you say that axebow (celestial axe) is not really a viable competitive build anymore? Or is it viable and just harder to play now?

Still viable, but since Eviscerate is so hard to land and the build is heavy realiant on that skill, it makes a bit less viable than Hambow. But if well played it will work fine still

I would say Sword/Sword does same job only better.

Can you explain? I’m kinda curious to try sword/sword

http://www.twitch.tv/ishuriyo/b/571689010

Here’s me playing Hybrid Sword to give you an idea of how it plays.

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Hybrid_Sword_Warrior

And here’s the build I use.

So I started using this build late yesterday and most of today and I was kinda skeptical, what reduced stance durations and no signet mastery? Eh I tried it anyway and it’s been really, really effective. Whenever Iwould go into 1v1 rooms I felt I struggled a bit with guardians because of my burst missed with axe I was mostly done for as they walled me. This sword/sword build makes me outlast most enemies and they have an even harder time trying to run from me. Even if I miss with final thrust, the condi pressure and immobilizes are so good that I feel like I’m not completely reliant on it, it’s just there for the massive burst if I need it.

Glad you enjoyed it mate, so many naysayers haha.
