Guild Wars 2

How old are these kids..?

Listen to henry.

They need to make the server size limit way bigger though, else only 10 people can watch a game at the time…

I still play my LB/AxeSH zerker build and it is definitely still viable. You just have to be a little more careful with Evics.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAneTjMdUGaXIWhwJagfgC9t3C5gpAQda8FlBA-TZBFwACOEAOeAAl2foaZAAHBAA

zerker is not and wont be viable on warrior in spvp.

Care to explain why? I’m not talking about high end Tpvp but it does quite well in soloQ. I have no problem getting adrenaline or setting up Evics.

If you are playing against competent people, you wil either get outsustained or bursted before you can land eviscerate.

This is not exclusive to guardian though, but I’m not sure what the cause is.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

yes, please.
this would be very good.

they only need to add red circles.
i think 6 months is enough for them to add this in.

I would much rather have the abileties look slightly different, like redish hue or somthing. Theres allready too many red circles flying around.

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

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

Well is can work better because Final Thrust hits as hard as Eviscerate when target is below 50% and Sword has more condi presure than Axe/Sword with more CC to and a Burst that set ups Final Thrust if you want

I still dream with GS

Don’t forget mobility as well which is what axe lacks. That being said, if you can consistently land your Evis then the power DPS is probably higher. It just depends on what you want to do. Take Leg Specialist and you can bring a good amount of control as well.

EDIT: Been thinking about it and what do you guys think about running a build like this and have them be someone that rotates between home and mid providing support where needed.

I’m not really sure it’s viable though due to the lack of stability. If you built your team around it though like having your standard Bunker Guardian, this, and a Celestial Dagger Ele you could then add in two damage dealers of your choice and have a significant amount of sustain. I’ll see if I can get that comp together later and see if it works.

This lacks damage, it will hit like a noodle x) and the sustain won’t be better either

I’ll +1 this, happens way too often.

Solid core of four players looking for a bunker guardien.
Our current team composition is:
*Warrior -Shuriyo
*Elementalist -Durita
*Thief -Waldo
*Mesmer -Lukern

As of now we haven’t really any set practise schedule, but we would like to get a consistent playing schedule and compete in ESL’s etc.

Sifu.9745:

What about Sw+Sw (or Shield)/LB? I’m sure that Sw/sw is more viable than Axe/Sw or Mace/Sw …. Also, why all of your builds include Celestial Amulet?

SwordSword is very viable, edited in what i use.

Also the reason for celestial on all builds is how imensively strong Geomancy/Doom and Battle/Energy are together.

a t s e.9614:

The nerf would be resoanable if ele / engi were not god mode. Warrior looks weak because those 2 are too strong , against other classes it seems balanced .

If they won’t balance engi/ ele they need to revert warrior and thief nerf,otherwise its just not fair.

This patch for warrior was good for the game, thats the most important thing. The only thing they need to do (and should have done) is to change traits so they make sense with how adrenalin work and how they are directing the warrior.

Holy kitten, you guys are complaining about build diversity in spvp… We can basicly use every single weapon together with bow. And bow is a super fun weapon. But no pleasing you guys i guess.

edit you can beat all the meta builds with these, ele, engi, ranger, thief, guard you name it. A lot of the other classes are struggling way more in build diversity than us. Yes the traits are much alike in all builds, but atleast they play differently.

The main thing that keeps these viable is geomancy/doom on longbow with might stacking. Not seen allot of warriors use it.

heres another surprisingly strong build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAscTjMdUGaXIWhwJagqgC9iHANg6eoxj9UbAA-TpRHwAFeAABOCAAOEACOBAk2f4YZAA

alows you to easily stick to enemies and get that swap proc off on every cd. bleed and torment is also strong

kinda depence on which conditions it prioritizes

Move unsuspecting Foe back to adept, change Skull Crack to 1/4 cast and 2 sec stun on 3 bars, 1.5 on 2 bars and 1 on 1 bar.

well this is the stats the above describes, bit too toughnes heavy for my taste but here it is :P

eyes, bleeding

On Karl’s segment he was showing his ping and fps on the right side corner of his screen. Is there a way for us players to replicate this?

When I first read the changes i was really happy. If Cleansing Ire would proc reliably on every warrior weapon, then that would open up for build diversity and weapon choice. But since it don’t, warrior will be forced into hammer/longbow for reliable cleanse.

Mace auto attack change was good, as it was holding back the weapon, but kinda pointless now with the adrenalin change.

Impale needed a nerf, no arguing that.

The new arching slice looks good, cast time is low enough so its not terrible to land.

Rest of the changes is kinda meh.

bracket was full 4 hours after mail was sent…

oh, it’s just how he phrased it kinda makes me think they let more registrations than maximum teams for tourney.. idk blu pleeees respawnd

Invited is not the same as playing though sadly.

“Please respond with your team’s name and if you intend to play or not. Please note that because you are invited in a secondary wave your seat in the tournament is not confirmed and these spots will be given to the first teams to respond to this email”

This is a strange system, why not close the registration when you have enough. And how was it decided which teams are invited in a secondary wave?..

So this means the first bracket is full? And if you got invited to that one and your team isn’t on Battlfy you’re out of the tournament?

What do you think of this guys, just made it today – hybrid build. It is made for small group roaming (i know – not much mobility, maybe sword mainhand would be better). In theory it can have access to 25 stacks of might, enormous heals and regen. Cond reduction, cleansing ire. Much cond dmg, much direct dmg. Tell me what do you think. (Lol i just realised, that someone made something simmilar in pvp).

Other than your sigils, looks good. Try inteligence/battle on axe set and endurance/(leaching/generousety/doom) on bow set.

edit; tweaked it for you

Put an accept clicky when match pops, if you fail to accept it will count as a loss and the rest of the group is requeued.

Numot.3965:

I think this idea is unneeded and biased. How is the current system not fair? You can choose what dungeons you run, you don’t get to choose your rank, you gotta earn it (that is unless you farmed rank prior to the boost, in which case, free rank 80).

Spvp is all based around a level playing field, we all get the same rewards and have access to the same stuff. If we need better rewards we should have better avenues to earn them, like when we had paid tournaments that gave you gems for winning.

Not biased I wouldn’t even benefit that much from it. My LB rank is crap its around 800 . But if the rewards were good , I would try to become better instead of trolling in Solo Q.

The thing about this is. Your personal soloque rank is dependent on 4 random people every match. I don’t care how amazing you are. If you are with two maybeee one bad player your match is going to be almost impossible to win. No matter how good you are you can only carry so much… And there are so many people in soloque running terrible builds that make no sense or they make stupid plays like a SA thief pushing far over and over and over and never decapping the point or even pushing an outmanned fight.

And yet top players are at top of the leaderboards

I second this change!

Try not to waste too many dodges, at times you tend to dodge for no reason :P other than that solid play.

And why not use duel-wielding? Reckfull dodge is also very strong.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAncTjMdUFahHmhwJaghgC9KUCxgpAQ9ZE7dBA-TpRBwAdOEAXeAA02fAzRA4bZAAnAAA

@Elegie You’re missing out on alot of mightstacking with that setup, which will boost your damage way more than the extra crit chance. Inteligence on Axe is all the crit you need.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQJARTjMdUGaZHWhwJagfgC5t3CGDgBQ9bk7lBA-TlCEwAQuAAwU/JqSjtKBZqMTyhAojuAAPAgY7P84IAQGglJA-w

This is what I would run.

dual wielding with shield? :P and don’t listen to juba

also, I would change out FGJ for Berserker stance and Doliak signet for ballanced stance. The shorter cd and swiftness is more valuable than the extra toughness for when it’s not on cd.

If you really want 6 in defence, id go something like this:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJEQNAR5ej8cU2ZlHOewJaAgABdsV3MeIgy2rB-TFBXwAAU+FSHQQ1fgoEEA-w

But i’d rather build toughness with items than lock ureself in with traits.

well then it’s kinda crap :P dungeons → dps
You allready cap 25 might stacks with full dps build, so it’s kinda pointless. If not, then you can always stack might with firefields before engaging.

Similar suggestions have been made soo many times, I don’t think we will be seeing them.

Kinda depends where you want to use them I guess.

Forcefull GS is not as usefull as people are claiming, it adds a very marginal dps boost in pvp. And I think you are doing yourself a disservice not getting missile deflection, the trait makes Counterblow reflect projectiles for it’s full duration (same goes for ripposte on sword) if you are not in melee range of the attacker.
Rousing resilience is also not a very strong choice. It gives 1000 toughnes on 48 sec cd, when alternative is endure pain on 60 cd.
Furthermore I would recomend sword over shield, as it gives a block on a much lower cd and it gives you impale, which does good damage even without condition damage in your build. If you start using sword in offhand it opens up for more damage-oriented traiting aswell. I will list my suggestion again, please take a good look at it.

you mean the usual hambow kitten ?! … no thanks.

Great video VaAnSs.

People play what is viable. Trying to be a special snow flake doesn’t works in this game. Also the people I listed above are just top tier regardless of the spec they are using.

I just can’t watch a video when people use 2 dodges before his enemy attacks. Its painful to watch. The minute I noticed he/she did it, I stopped the video.

Being the special snowflake is how you discover new and better builds. Hammer was considered useless junk until video of Anus Tarcis usig hambow surfaced. I played Hambow long before Tarcis ever did and people would make fun of me for using a hammer instead of the lame HB builds that were so popular at the time.

Hammer was considered junk because it was junk, now it is not.

you must be joking
