High toughness and high armor is not an issue as warrior doesn’t have access to defensive boons. Plus if you run conditions what do you care about armor? Cleansing Ire is not a problem if it doesn’t hit you. Dogged March is not a problem if you use condition food. As far as I know conditional meta is still the king of pvp. So you want warrior to be a free kill do you?
No acess to defensive boons? Please. Do you want me to start listing?
Spiked armor – retaliation
Dogged march – regen
Balanced stance – stability
Inspiring battle standard – regen
Last stand – More stability
Furious reaction – Vigor
Vigorous Focus – More vigor
So what are we missing? Protection and aegis. Aegis is a passive boon granted to 2 classes in the game, 1 passively and purely to yourself (engi) and the obvious use of aegis on guardians as well. Protection is given out to other people in small time chunks and for the most part if you are in a situation where a warrior has protection someone worth a kitten is going to corrupt/steal/strip that boon quickly. Also lets nto forget the warrior’s access to condi removes. As you stated above “Plus if you run conditions what do you care about armor? Cleansing Ire is not a problem if it doesn’t hit you. Dogged March is not a problem if you use condition food.” Well. First off if you stack melandru with condition minus food , and clenching ire, that matters because everything I just listed gives you more toughness whether you like it or not. Secondly, it matters because that is a 33% reduction to cripple, immobilize, and chill. cripple is a situational condition and comes in various ways for almost every class. Chill and immobilize are the problem. Immobilize can set you up for a burst combo or can be used as a anti kite. Chill reduces the rate that your skills are re-casting. Other classes have this same trait. But don’t get regen when they get hit by those condis. Lets also keep in mind regen on cleansing ire stacks. While I am on the topic of immobilize, have you ever heard of the lb/gs meta for wvw/pvp? Immobilize on warrior can be used to set you up (longbow 5, throw bolas) for a nasty 100 blades and each of those skills (listed separately) are pin down 3.5 second immobilize, allowing a warrior to swap weapons and hundred blades(not immobilized the whole time, but for a good bit of it) or arcing arrow, both of which will mess you up quickly. Now lets say i sue throw bolas after pin down this is now a 8 and 1/4 second immobilize, enough for you tog et kittened easily. If you are saying people only use gs in wvw for mobility you quite frankly don’t know the class. Believe it or not people still use bulls charge/frezy/hundred blades combo. Which actually works because I have to react to the stun of bulls charge within 1 and 3/4 of a second which relies on me either using a teleport or popping an invuln to truly lose the full effect of hundred blades.While I’m on it. Another issue is conditions warrior, warrior has access to confusion, bleeds, torment, and burning all in one build. By the way this is torment I cant do kitten about unless I dodge the sword which usually can be done but to someone who cant read a warrior well or doesn’t see a tiny sword flying through the air because they are at melee range when the sword is thrown and they are done(because having a sword in you is not a removable condition). Lets also discuss confusion, this isn’t small amount either FOUR stacks every time you interrupt someone. Hell lets put the mail in the coffin too, since you are such an experienced warrior you should know via projectile finishers in combo fields you can stack 4 seconds of burning without anyone ever touching your longbow burst move, right? Burning is the strongest passive ticking
condition ticking a about 600-700 depending on the build maybe a little higher.This is why warrior is god mode at the moment. I would be happy to play my warrior again if they weren’t god mode though, feel free to post any rebuttal below.
Ok…..
Im a noob.
Can you link me the build that can do all this?
THX..
