\Or add new weapon types that can compete with GS melee PvE damage.

Axe says hi. And no, i don’t mean the shower gel. Olny hb is strong on gs in terms of dps anyway, rest is meh

Axe is great if ur specced to burst but otherwise it’s not that great when u can use HB and Rush (which does moderately good burst damage and doesn’t take much longer to cast at point blank than an axe leap) and if you get them in a corner or against the wall and cast whirlwind so that you spin in place, giving them the full brunt of Whirlwind dishes out about 1/3rd of Hundred Blade’s total damage in less than half the time.

If you’re not specced to either burst nor greatsword traits, you’ll still most likely get a lot more damage from Greatsword.

Um..how to say i completely disagree with what u said here? GS aa is so weak to the point that even hammer has highter dps, the olny weaker weapon (slighty) is mace.

Hb won’t make up for weak aa of gs, while axe aa is about 90% dps of hb on no cd. For some reason i killing stuff much faster with axe than gs (check even my trained 1h sword kills faster), and im not trained for axe by any means.

GS is still way better with crowds and that’s what most dungeons throw at you and axe AA does more than GS AA but doesn’t do that much damage compared to HB from what I see.

My result from testing 3 weeks ago says something different (trained gs vs non trained axe) also axe aa was done just right in time the stun expired, while hb has still need a moment to land last hit. Btw. It is all about high risk vs high reward when its comes hb in pvp.

No matter what build i run, i always have triple stance on. It is mostly due to the fact that i don’t give a kitten about signets, physical utilities lacking in well..utiliities on way too high cd, banners are a joke, and im a selfish guy that don’t mind running shout build. Yeah stances are a obvious choice.

jmatb.6307:

Scooby Doo all I gotta say is if you think Greatsword on Warrior sucks you should probably think about playing another class.

Ty, but i actually prefer to roflstomp the kind of warriors like ya, after all gs = freekill, ur welcome. Nvm a troll is a troll and if u dont getting the point of building everything to make 1 skill works is a fail desing then nothing else to say. I don’t even visit gw much as i moved to Vindictus.

That questions are still actual.

Aquin.3192:

Switch F1 ( arcing slice ) with #2 ( Hundred blades).

Add a nice buff while your doing the 100b like a little quickness or fury.

You could also make the arcing slice knock down which looks like what the animation intends for.

Thoughts?

Fix Arcing slide. Add another set of skills for gs so the current 1 with crappy dps on everything that inst called hb and high mobility, and a second set of skills with lower mobility bur dmg spreaded across all skills and no uga buga selfroot nearly 4 sec channeling time hb or any similiar stuff to it. Both sides happy

tom.7468:

Assassin X.8573:

GS is fine just needs f1 and rush fixed. /thread

Exactly and HB is suppose to be a high risk/high reward skill, its working as intended.

tom.7468:

That would had been a welcome change but its one of the only warrior skills that is channeled. The only times where i can pull of all the hits is on downed players.
Axe is more mobile, I use it when fighting players that kites or jump in/out stealth.
Against good players GS is not viable at all. But when used in combination with other weapons its still quite strong.

I think i don’t understand.. Gs is fine but not viable against good players..Please explain me what does it mean cause something cannot be fine and at same time unviable.

On the other hand im sure if u have to spend sources to make just 1 skill working – its a piece of junk followed by a piece of junk desing, perhaps thats the reason why i see gs war as a freekill from miles

Glass builds can’t affort to go into defense line so this trait is actually helpful for em. And lets face it, outside of that str adept is worthless

At same time its the best skill ever, i don’t rebember how many times my opponent dodged and i was rushing (even in place without moving) )till it landed hahahah

Ofc it gettting nerfed and they don’t care what kitten u write. They had to get some reasons out of hat in order to nerf it to shut up masses. Theres a reason why posts about warrior been completely ignored, left unanswered and the nerfs coming no matter what.

Rebember if u want dps options use oh crappy axe and a joke gs

Arganthium.5638:

See, Rascal, this is how warriors reply to the fact that their healing skill heals for at least 50 points more than every other classes’ best healing skill, and yet they still get heavy armor.

Some ppl acts like heavy armor which is limited to look automatically provides +50% damage reduction for being heavy.

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

Zanryu.3417:

Furious:
As you can see in the notes above: June 25th, it was changed from 1 strike to three strikes because it was an underused trait, much like Desperate Power. I don’t understand why this trait is a Grandmaster, it honestly sucks pretty badly. I would like it changed back from 1 to 3.

This trait didn’t change at all. The wording just changed. It said before “Critical hits grant triple adrenaline” well critical hits already grant double adrenaline, so this trait only added one more strike of adrenaline.

Normal crit = 2 strikes adrenaline
Crit with furious pre-patch = 3 strikes of adrenaline
crit with furious post-patch = 3 strikes of adrenaline

No change. I’ve been using it for months of a rifle warrior, commander killing build, nothing is different. I’ve accidentally turned it off before and I REALLY notice the difference.

I’ll do some testing when I get the chance. It might be isolated to certain weapons?

Test 1; use axe mh with furious, watch adrenaline per hit

Test 2; use axe mh with sharpened axes, wach adrenaline per hit

Tyrannus Blade.3408:

Also while you’re at it, add this concept Charr armour.

If they even make more cultural armors, i hope its will be t4.. A happy panda guaranteed

Play wvw, you’ll run out of gold soon enough.

wvw is where I farm my gold…

Hahah, same here, a gold farm+fun at same time

Kain Francois.4328:

No, because of the way the game is coded with animations… The only class able to get “dual” nimations is the Thief, since the #3 skill is completely depending on your weapon combination (which makes Unload possible.)

And the same would be possible with “1” for all classes. Based on offhand weapon a animation from would come from offhand. For example warrior wearing axe mh and sword oh would do chop from axe, next 2 hits (maybe evena different aa) from sword offhand, finishing it back with axe.. Well anything, as it is now its really silly

Will we ever see them? Right now its looking awful when mainhand attacking while offhand does nothing.

The olny thing i wonder is why ac armor doesnt glow in night.

Can get more..

I got 2 legends, 600g and i dont know on what i should spend money.. Gold seems a bit useless to me in current state, its might change with ascended armors+new leg items tho.

Excalibur.9748:

killing liadri the concealing darkness takes some skill in terms of being able to dodge red circles, and positional awareness.

takes more skill than some “faceroll” pvp builds…

Sry, what? Liadri was a faceroll mob. I rebember all i had to do was rifle 111 (war) and running in circles, 0 effort. Was a bit harder at light up the darkness, but still..

Its was also possible to burst her down before phase 2 started.

did you take her down with any other class?

Im playing olny war in pve howered it could be done with any class this way. My friend used that tactic with condi necro spamming 1 on scepter also without troubles so..either hes a pro or liadri was easy.

Funny thread..too bad ppl ignore such things as blind, block, protection, vigor, weakness, poison, healing via weapon skills/traits as usual. But its ok, the olny thing in this game that matter is hp per second, nvm that my medit guard can burst heal for 14,6k without healing power+utility but 400hp/s seems to be stronger. Maybe stop playing bunkers?

New idea:

1. Autoatk;
   1 – 280 (0.8)
   2 —
   3 – 420 (1.1)
2. Hb;
   – mobile, 12cd, 1 sec casttime
   – 8 strikes of 100/hit (0.3)
   – Last strike 278 (0.8)
3. Whirl;
   – applies 3sec cripple per hit, reduced range to 300
4. Counterblow
   - channeled block for 2seconds, gain 4 strikes of adrenaline when not attacked, triggered by melee hits only. Up to 3 targets
   - 360 (2.0)
   > Cancel blocking, gain adrenaline and throw sword in ur foe
   -277 (0.8)
   -Cripple 8sec
5. Rush
   - reduced range to 900, casttime down to 1 1/4, leap finisher, 16cd, fiery rush animation. Cause weakness for 5seconds. Affects up to 3 targets

1. That’s rather high for an autoattack chain. Why would the autoattack need any more damage?
2. 1 second channel and mobile? Crazy talk.
3. I don’t think that giving even more cripple to GS is fair. Especially with Leg Specialist.
4. Why would you put a block on the GS?
5. Care to explain why Weakness on Rush?

New F1
- Spin. Strike all foes around you stunning them and gain fury. Effect increases with adrenaline level. Affects up to 5 targets

Based on levels; 1, 1 1/2, 2 sec

Damage 360 (0.9)
Activate time; 3/4sec
Whirl finisher
Fury; 3sec per target

Ok, that’s nuts. A 1-2s stun on the GS? While also having 100 blades able to dish out higher damage than Eviscerate and only taking 1 second to complete? And wait… all of that would be AOE up to 5 targets? You realize that they’re nerfing the Hammer because it has both great damage and great CC?

Currently, the GS has the best mobility out of all Warrior weapons. It also has great damage, if you can land 100 blades. There is really no need to give them hard CCs as well. Make 100 blades mobile, put it in as the burst skill and replace it with a skill that gives some Combo Field or something.

I think his suggestion is fine. He did auto close to guardian one, but still lil weaker. The olny thing i know for sure is that gs auto sux balls in terms of dmg ouput, and from my test its was axe aa>sword aa (counting dmg from bleeds)>hammer>gs>mace. Between mace and gs theres not much a difference.

Hb seems to be more like evi lv2 channeled on 1sec casttime and on longer cd so its not spamable by any means. I think its also fine. Also definitely 1 dodge is enough to break it.

3 and 5 seems to actually reduce mobility for the buffs he made to rest. Maybe whirl is not necessary to have cripple but its fine. I believe weakness and block was made to have some sort of sustain. As for his f1 if u compare it, its doesnt have much damage, is telegraphed and melee range.

Its looks to me like a mix of lil weaker guardian aa, 2 and f1 borrowed from spear skills, 4 a shorter block of ranger, 5 fiery gs with weakness, 3 phanta whirl but with shorter range. He nerfed mobility, spreaded damage from current hb and added synergy.

I just noticed today that it got a extra damage on last hit. Not sure if the damage was moved towards last hit just like axe aa, or it was actually buffed.

Actually many armors can be fixed easily on charr, its just that they dont give a kitten.

Im not surprised that noone plays it with so many clipping issues in current state, i do sometimes wonder why i dindt picked human myself.

What physical abilities has to do with gs?

AGGabriel.9230:

if they ad the t3 heavy charr i’m first in line to buy it even if it’s 1k gems XD

Stay away of my olny one normal looking armor i got. If u want it create charr.

Brew Pinch.5731:

That would take actual effort from the armour team, something they have proven totally incapable of.

I think different. Human, Norn, Sylvari have different armors between male/female. Its just that they don’t give a kitten about charr.

Glenstorm.4059:

Magus (T3 charr light)

U can take it anytime anyday. Its looks like a piece of kitten on charr that doesnt even have a hole for tail and removes hairs..In “cultural armor”. I always been saying that this armor was designed for humans and stretched to charr, now im sure it is and that other races will be looking much better in it than charr does. Theres a reason why no charr that has light class runs in t3.

KOPPER.1458:

I hope arena net is listening.

Yeah they just did by removic topic completely. It is how AN works and always been with things they don’t like.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Anti-Cultural-in-TP-Post-Infracted

Did i mention disrespect to customer in my previous post? I don’t even have to try to prove that, they doing that for myself.

I hear good things about ArenaNet before i bought this game and based on it i bought GW2 (never played in GW1) so i don’t really had any experience with that company.

Howered now i do, and im officially putting ArenaNet next to EA in the category of worse companies ever, and i won’t touch any of their future products they have to offer.

From poor pve to poor pvp they failed in every aspect of this game;

-Tons of bugs? Check.
-Poor and slow balance causing build vs build, hardcounters? Check.
-Olny 1 pvp gamemode? Check.
-Lack of rewards in spvp? Check
-No new features in WvW behind failed bloodlust? Check.
-Stretched armors with clipping issues everywhere for charr and asura? Check.
-Timegated stuff? Check.
-Temp contest that noone give a kitten about it other than AP? Check
-Poorly done pve causing go full zerk or go home? Check.
-Reskinned armors, even a cultural? Check.
-Sellable legendaries? Check.
-Tons of grind (when they says its grindfree game), rng? Check.
-Lack of features common in other MMO’s (GvG, duels and so on)? Check.
-Pooory written game engine creating huge fps problems and skill lag? Check.
-Disrecpect to players that wasted time on fractals above lv 30? Check.
-Disrecpect to customer in general, lack of responses? Check.

Thats how i see AN, as a company that fails in everything they touch, i wish them luck in 2014 tho. New mmos coming out, and im sure once it happen, i will be gone from GW2 and from AN for good, and when someone ask me about GW i will tell them “avoid that kitten and the AN company from miles” for a good reason.

Im playing that one even in blobs and surviving just fine if u know what to do. Its not a easy build to play but that what makes it fun.

cazo.5018:

The reason each race had distinct armor was so that each player didn’t look the same. With enough armor skins, ideally each person would be able to find a unique mix/match. Once a critical mass of armor skins has been introduced, cultural armor is no longer needed to maintain player uniqueness.

Furthermore, cultural armor really isn’t doing its job. Every charr heavy wears the same T3 armor set. Same with norn T3. Every female human medium armor looks the same. Finally, using cultural armor to distinguish players isn’t working because a majority of the players already roll human characters. All these players have the same pool of cultural armor to work with.

“Unlocking” cultural armor gives people more choices. The hope would be that they would find more unique sets of armor.

I think u missing the point why every charr has t3 heavy. Create one, go mist, preview armors in locker. Its not about everyone wears the same, its about the fact it is the olny armor that looks really good on charr, while rest is a kitten pieces of …

If they give out the last thing charr has, i will be done with this game sooner than i excepted.

They will release our cultural armors to everyone? Personally i will be done with charrs at that point, and probably with the game itself.

So good that Monster Hunter Online coming out in 2014..I can imagine my charr t3 heavy next in the shop, basically the last thing that keep me playing a charr race. I can imagine human players, and i feel sorry for them for the first time.

Stretched armor is stretched, reskined is reskined but when they release out a cultural armor to everyone..as some salad head says “its will not end well”

And tell me they arent lazy. If they give out charr cultural im done with this game.

^Focus was 9%. And burst..guess what? Ppl still sits at maxed adrenaline in pve.

Only if they’re nubs.

You’d be completely gimping yourself in PvE if you didn’t have a Hammer on your warrior. There’s too much utility in that one weapon to ignore regardless of your build.

And don’t say “well speed runs blah blah blah” … we all know how speed runs work. You just exploit the hell out of parts of the dungeon which Anet has refused to admit are available for exploiting.

That utility is useless against any boss fight. Don’t get me wrong, at launch i been running hammer in open world/dungs bc i liked the animations, stuff like p1 ac burrow part and so on, but facing it..easier way is to dps the kitten out of mobs, and hammer inst best at it. I been doing that stuff with hammer, gs, axe, even sword and i dont see any difference. Pve is just..pve

Stooperdale.3560:

given how greatsword warriors can mash PVE with no skill whatsoever.

Too bad gs auto is just like mace but without weakness on the end, the whole dps of gs sits into hb

xbutcherx.3861:

Solo Lupicus? LOL sorry dude I don’t solo dungeons to sell to others for gold.

Wut? U dont want to die like the zerkers u keep rezzing? I love when ppl comes out of nowhere for the fist time and says “its fine, viable” and so on. And just to tell u something..im not a guy that runs a pro speed runs or something as i dont give a kitten about it, but when i see a warrior with offhand axe..its auto kick. Its a sigh of ppl that dont know what to do whatsoever.

Anicetus.1253:

I want to see him doing a better lupicus solo time than those 30/25/0/0/15 filthy berserkers that always down and die.

+1. I want to see if hes even capable of soloing him..We waiting for a video of u xbutcherx.3861 soloing Lupi with ur mighty axe offhand

^Focus was 9%. And burst..guess what? Ppl still sits at maxed adrenaline in pve.

Why ppl keep asking for a new race when armors of old ones arent even fixed?

Its armor for a obvious reason

Dand.8231:

nicknamenick.2437:

Furious grants 1 adrenaline per crit, also on ALL bursts attacks :-)

So its nonsense they nerf combustive shot for its adrenaline.. (without furious it doesn’t grant any adrenaline) but now we have a horrible AoE skill.. After 10dec you do only 1 burning for 3sec.. that’s it! because nobody stays longer in you AoE for fun.. or maby some does like thiefs using evade over you AoE.. lol

So they’re nerfing Combustive shot BASELINE, to prevent it’s use with a Grandmaster trait. Yeah. Makes perfect sense to me.

On the other hand, my idea sounds even better when compared to this utter nonsense: 1 Adrenaline, regardless of # foes struck, 6 strikes per bar.

No. I think they have no idea what they talk about as they don’t mention furious in post. It was show many times that they don’t know how their game works and that it was just made for the sake of pvp to make it noob friendly like everything warrior has to stop the qq, also 15% dmg reduction for no reason, if anything ppl been complains a bit about burn.

Warriors posting there was pretty much ignored, and still are. Im sure its not the last nerf to hambow and everything else around it. “We want to separate dmg from control skills” Merciless hammer says hi; “increased damage on disabled foes by 25%” Oh the irony..

Why that things arent turned off in wvw?

Dand.8231:

Scoobaniec.9561:

Ashanor is right, i just tested that right now in pve on a mob. Combu shot doesnt give me any adrenaline. Amazing how good balance team we got.

Second test; combu shot gives adren with furious trait on.

Hmm, interesting. I cant play right now, but im curious.
With furious, does it award you 1 adrenaline on non-crits?
And does it award you 1 or 2 adrenaline on crits?

1 adrenaline on crits olny. Signet of rage was off to make sure.

Ashanor is right, i just tested that right now in pve on a mob. Combu shot doesnt give me any adrenaline. Amazing how good balance team we got.

Second test; combu shot gives adren with furious trait on when crit.

So what is broken, combu shot or furious?

When i wait 30+ mins for soloq to pop up on EU i know its pretty much dead, and actually i gave up.. That said gw2 is pretty bad when it comes to pvp as it is all about build vs build. So good load of new games coming out in 2014.

redslion.9675:

Now that I tried it, axe in spvp kinda sucks, IMHO. I feel it’s better to invest traits into GS and then grab another weapon (LongBro <3 ).

That’s because it’s very crit-dependant. And even 60% crit chance seems like it isn’t enough. And 100 blades does more damage, so I feel like it’s better to add a weapon that helps you land it more often.

I dunt like longbow so i picked rifle. Ppl dont rebember how to dodge killshot so i have nice laugh. Thats said, i also feel that axe lacking dps in spvp, i tried to transfer my axe/shield+lb build from wvw but the damage is about 60% lower making it a awful weapon, with weak 2 and 3.. But comparing axe aa to 100b, the difference is next to 1-2k while being mobile and without any root.
