Oh i also want to add a thing: i’ve never been kicked after a RAID boss fight, meaning that my dps is appreciated. But beeing excluded since the begining without having a chance to prove my dps except from a stupidd gear check is unacceptable.
I’ve never kicked someone even if he was a total noob, but okay lets kick the warrior cuz he has hoelbrack instead of strenght -.-

I think you don’t understand dude. Nobody care that you are better than most PS warrior with your Hoelbrak runes. Nobody give a kitten in pugs. They don’t know you, you don’t have the normal gear, there is 20 other warrior with the ’’right’’ gear 2 inch to your left and right. Why would they choose you?

Ya you are right hoelbrak vs strenght won’t change much if anything. Unless you don’t use food and there is no herald in your party you will reach 25 stack of might anyway. Most people over buff on boons duration for a PS Warrior anyway. So it’s really only the 5% that make a difference for most group (in decent group the rune of strenght will allow your warrior to take dps food instead of boon duration food, so the difference is a bit higher there).

But it’s the same thing with a lot of stuff. Condi Ranger, Condi Guardian, Zerker Necro, Zerker Guardian, Zerker Thief, Exotic Armor. All of that is just fine for raids, but pugs don’t want them and you know what they are kind of right. In a guild group, we all know each other. I don’t mind bringing a friends or guildmate with not the absolute best build or profession. They will learn the encounter, they will get better and we’ll have fun. In pugs? Why would you give a kitten? If I have need a 10th in one of my guild raid, I’m gonna ask for the absolute best build for our comp and I’m gonna kick everybody that doesn’t fit the description. Even if we run with a Condi Guardian and a Zerker Thief.

Because why wouldn’t I? I don’t know these pugs. They might be bad or good I don’t know. At least i’m gonna make sure they have the best build possible.

Btw. Raid are awesome. In guild and with friends. Pugs to your own risk if you like that.

If you dont know him, give him a try :P. I promise you that the 0,5% less “potential” DPS wont be a matter, if it does, the problem is not the PS Hoelbrack warrior, but the team. Cuz really counting on a 0.5% potential DPS means you are unsafe

Shala.8352:

I’ve done gorseval with hoelbrack and killed him with more than a minute on timer remaining, so yes i’m assuming that the 0,5% doesnt influence enough to justify a kick, and yes i’m assuming i am better at dodging and skill rotate than average warrior, and yes i would rather kick that noob ele who is perma downed and making me losing DPS while ressing rather than a warrior who is doing is job, and yes i think skill > gears, the main reason Raid are failing is always the bad gameplay from players, not the 0.5% dps difference.
And yes i keep thinking you pvers are dumby: loosing 2 hours to make a team only because of a 0.5% dps difference is beeing dumb. But no problem, i’ll solve this: i’ll make ONE armor ascended berserker and i will put strenght rune on it, and wont use it (since most of the gear checks are on a single armor gear, even more dummy than kicking someone cuz he has hoelbrack).

well guys we are at a point that it becomes ridicoulous: i’ve not been accepted in raids cuz i had full zerker warrior ascended but with hoelbrack runes instead of strenght.
Rlly are these pvers so dumby? Does they really think that 5% more damage (aka 0,5% dps in a team of 10 people) will do any difference? You know that a miss dodge can alone delete the advantage of strenght on hoelbrack? Come on this pvers are even more meta tunnel vision than pvp players!!
Actualy it requires more time to find a raid team than killing those 3 boss in a row.

Here’s the thing: There are usually somewhere between five and ten people advertising as PS warriors on the lfg, and even more who are sitting there watching it since the build is so popular. If you are not what the group is looking for, it is very, very easy for them to find someone else who IS exactly what they’re looking for. The LFG groups are under no obligation to take someone in gear that has waste in it. Which is what hoelbrak runes are for the raid. You gain essentially 0 benefit from the condition reduction, making it a waste.

But you know would be nice to have a DPS window at the end of the match, and discover that i made more damage than a strenght rune warrior one XD XD XD.
I consider a +5% dmg meaningless especialy against boss like VG and Gorseval, where movements and dodges can create much more difference in terms of DPS thant that ridicoulous +5%. You know dodge warrior can hit for a 9k, and if you dodge on boss with hoelbrack you get more than +5% dmg than if you dodge AWAY from the boss?
Oh and ye, to let you know, if i put +5 power infusion in both weapons and trinkets, or use a +100 power food instead of a +80 power, i already got your +5% dmg… but in fact, people cant see it when i link the gears, or i can simply outclass that +5% dmg by a better adrenaline managing to get berserker, to get that perma always angry buff.

And to be fair, i got kicked cuz i had hoelbrack even when there was no PS war around doing LFG. Problem is that there are so many bad players around, that pvers tend to find the reasons of their fails in the fact people are not using the meta gears, but its not correct, they are failing cuz they are BAD PLAYERS, who only count on a gear to do DPS instead than in a good skill rotation.

Another example? The melee DPS party is running behind VG, the noob cant notice it has only 15 stack of vulnerability and wont use a skill 4 mace, and keep spamming GS autoattack or even do a wirlwind attack LOL.

poor mesmer cant win 1v2, cant give enough support on team… you really should try warrior then, not only it gives zero support, he cant even win a 1v1 XD XD

Fear the nerf Mesmer! Time to get some skill and dont rely on class mechanics.

Hope u speed up Reaper GS cast times or it will still be a useless Weapon, u gave us kittene in HoT after months of hope.

You’re missing out if you think GS is useless.

Iam not talking about hitting a stationary NPC target here. Dont give a kitten about PvE but Reaper GS is useless in WvW and PvP and u see almost none useing it, as an effect u see almsot NO Necro/Reaper going Power these days cause Condi dominates this class and GS was the hope for us Power Necs.

Necro unkillable ? thats the biggest laugh Iv had in a long time. I saw 1 Necro in League yesterday Posi… one

pooor reaper cant hit with gs… welcome to warrior’s world and have fun while been outkited. Oh no, i should tell something that all those skilled necro have been saying to me in these years of kiting: l2p.

i agree that warrior is hard actualy, but it’s so fun. Is absolutely the best designed class, it doesnt play by himself and movements are so much more important than any other class, because the hit probability will increase depending more on how you move related to the opponent rather than depending on a rotation.

Exos.3472:

Thing is, I’ve always found Cleansing Ire to be rather unreliable on anything but the LB. I remember the times I used to take the plague elite and spam blinds on rampage warriors to counter their effect. Any warrior running something else than a LB would go through too much trouble.

And the CC… It’s actually dishearting to see my teammates (druids, chronos, revs, scrappers) targetting war with all the possible CC’s they have and just nuking them. It’s not even funny since they don’t have that much stab nor any real defensive mechanics.

Sure stab pulsing is a good thing (eternal champion), but if we can CC people with 3-4 stacks of stab easily, one stack really isn’t going to cut it. Especially for an expected ‘melee’ profession.

And HS signet. Well it’s looks nice but it’s all so predictable if you don’t get it stripped you just haven’t met decent necro/revs.

Primal burst from GS is a 450range instant AoE, it almost always hit.
Sword primal burst is also rather difficult to miss.

As for stun sensitivity, you have a 10s cd breakstun, headbutt is also a breakstun on 20s cd, and activating berserker mode breaks stun. Everytime you break a stun you get stability. That’s more than enough defense against cc.

SHHHHHHH man stop revealing our strenght sides! Let those Druid/scrapper/DH/Chrono keep targeting us with their CC, let them think they can easy burst us down with that XD. They must not know that they are literally buffing us when they CC, i’m actualy jump on chrono wells on purpouse sometimes XD XD XD.

just make it as a warrior berserker stance, meaning that will work only 8 seconds, then even if ele is still at 90%+ condi will start beeing applied. Furthermore, add it a 60s CD (like berserker stance) meaning if you drop below 90% and, while time goes on the fight, you get back at 100%, Diamond Skin wont activate again before those 60s CD.

Sunshine.5014:

And give Rev 2 heals skill too, keeping Warrior at one.

Only 2 heals? that shield healing and shield healing trait alone works better than any warrior healing skill XD XD XD XD

I think the problem with most of u guys when having a warrior/thief team mate is that you dont adapt your gameplay to the composition you are having in this particularty match. You know what warrior is, actualy is as someone already said the best bunker burster in the actual pvp meta. So what you meta players should do? Forget about dps, you just need to do the support/cleanse bot, and eventualy assist their targeting or trow some random CC/condi. In a team fight, warrior should always beeing the one targeting, since its better to do so, he is the melee, he is the warrior so he is usualy the player with best timing/animation reading experience.
Also, warrior is the best stomper as far as i’ve seen in the current pvp meta, if his target goes down, that target will be surely get stomped.

I just take for example that famous game i’ve seen on utube of the team No Counterplays, well i can tell you if they had a good warrior, they would have probably done better than with that useless DPS revenant. Yea sure revenant can have nice 700k dmg screens at the end of the game, but problem is that half of this damage has been outhealed all the time, and even when creating the down is happening too slowly cuz revenant lacks of clear immeadiate burst, giving the target the time to call for help from teammates to get ready to fast ress.
Also, from my experience, warrior is only doing bad in duels (except against thief, DH and reaper).
Warrior has also a good mobility, Yes you really like more your Condi rev or your OP tempest? You are really sure? So answer me, lets say you are 1v1 in a point against a tempest, would you be more happy recieving an adding help from your tempest/revenant condi teammate, or a warrior? Cuz to let you know, if that opponent tempest is a good player, will be able to outlast you in the case is not the warrior adding you.

I just think you should stop to blame your teammate class for the loss, only cuz they are not playing meta, the safe meta gameplay that you know so well since you have so many video to watch and off course many match experience on it, and you should start to learn different gameplays.

If you are loosing with a warrior/thief in team is cuz you are trying to play the normal bunker meta without having a bunker meta comp, instead of rotating/burst targeting.

Juba.8406:

This one does not count.

My team were QQing all the the time about my warrior despite they played like nubs and die in like 2 seconds while me the full glass was the last to fall.

But hey nice to see both Warriors of both teams having the highest scores.

ahahahah ye mate i know the feeling. But then i see i’m always the last one going down so i end ignoring people QQ.
Last night i had a teammate DH who wanted to force me to switch class, cuz it wasnt meta. At the end of the match after i stomped left and right, top scoring and making appearing 5-6 times “Von Shaletta is on Rampage” on the screen, he wishpered me “you are not meta, but you’ve done a pretty good job”. That’s enough to achieve for me, winning becomes secondary.

Let’s break this boring meta togheter, i believe!! Do you?

azyume.6321:

Julian.2971:

The reason has always been wvw. Basically pve heroes that farm gear in a pvp environment. They have to work less this way, they kill 3 birds in one shot

Do you really truly believe that? Since when Anet balanced anything according to WvW?

WvW have been getting the short end of the stick since the begin. The most recent change that made major impact: stability.

Per chance anet fixed that? Of course not because they are fine in PvE and PvP, or actually was in PvP until HoT. Now PvP is getting a taste of what WvW has been suffering with and players been complaining since the change.

ye true, if the game was balanced according to wvw, then you would never have made the stability stack patch, and you will never ever have create a a skill like revenant hammer 2.

Here are the 3 games from today. I dont see warrior that underperforming…

Nick.7621:

I’ve played warrior on my main account which has pretty high MMR and it’s extremely difficult to play warrior, even to the point where they do nothing. However, on my smurf account I’ve been able to 1v3 people people on ye ol’ Marauder Rampager Gs/Axe Shield build fairly easily. The conclusion is: your MMR is probably not that great even though you Q against ruby and saphire ranks don’t mean anything in Spvp, it just means a that a player can grind. So stop acting like you are a God tier warrior because you are not. Try playing this in higher tier sPvP and you’ll soon find out that warrior is trash, no matter how good the player is…

Yes warrior is hard, but whatever people in this topic is saying druid is difficult too, so…

And about your conclusion, i dont think to have that low MMR since i never won a 1v3 XD XD XD, if i win a 1v1 is already a miracle. Like someone else said, i’m actualy playing like a thief adding fights… just without stealth.
And no i never said i m GOD tier warrior, but just that if you believe you can win.
You dont want to believe? keep playing your meta, i dont really care, but just to let you know, i’ve played some games with revenant and immediately stopped since i found it as a no skill class, meaning that any skills i was using was too much automatic, was like the class was playing by itself.
But meh if you dont believe in practice, we can always have a duel my warrior vs your warrior, and find out if skill really doesnt exist^^.
i just wanted to show that getting to diamond is possible with also a non meta build, wich you are free to think whatever you want, but for me it requires more skill than playing meta.

eyesrutherford.1357:

Look at all those top player awards. Lolll. And way to be a good person with the abuse in map chat at end of Match. I find the best players to be more well represented and not soo. Errr boastful? Lol idk.

I’m sorry for the map chat abuse at the end. Unfortunately every opponent already left the game when i typed it, they really deserved it cuz was a really tense match with opponent team bunkering everything with necro/druid/and 2 chrono.
Was because i accumulated so much frustrating playing warrior during my ruby league, with all the teammates blaming my warrior every begin of the match, blaming me every time we lose, and not even saying me gg when we win but only thinking “i’m so pro i won with a warrior in team, i must have carry him”.

For people wondering the rune, i wont post my build till i’m legend division. But if you ask me if this build is reliable like those easy meta builds, i can only tell you that to win with this, you have to outplay, time your burst and watch very carefull every movement you do and be quick on chose the right target.

Btw as a suggestion, i went a vitality rune cuz of the condi spam that we have and, considering warrior condi cleanse mechanics are not reliable or not updated to the june condi patch, i tought to compensate it with an high vitality.
Wich is working a little to give me the time to run out of the fight for a few seconds if the situation become not manageable.
Still able to one shot most of the opponents below the 50% hp tough. My best targets are revenant, scrapper and off course thief. Necro are the highest priority, i have 10 seconds to burst them till my berserker stance run out. Also druid are good targets for this build.

kdaddy.5431:

actually looks like hes playing bunker with probably a sigil of 100% crit on weapon swap. So probably very littly damage with potentially a big burst hit and then most of the time just sits and prays.

ye i know

i should have put also some screen of my combat stats in this ruby epopea… 700k-800k dmg, i will post some when i will start playing again in diamond.

I believe in warrior dps, if you dont… well be rdy to not understimate the threat when you are facing me^^

Btw im using marauder amulet

…. that some sort of skill in this game exist!
Diamond, solo/duo only warrior… GET REKT EASY META PLAYERS!

lloydst.6985:

True i have been stuck as a solo que in ruby for so long not because of lack of skill but either because of teamates that sucked or because i wasnt meant to win that match in the first place fact is its easyer to lose multiple pips then it is to win them.
The season shouldnt be so stacked against you plz add solo que and balance matches with a 50-50 chance to win it instead of the 20-80 ratio and losing/ gaining pips doesnt seem affected enough by personal contribution (i can defend a point the whole game vs 2 tanks and get only one pip)

and why you should deserve that? does it require skill to survive 2 tank with a tank build? Are you skilling or just surviving by rotation of skills, or even worst by abusing a trait build?
Something that most of gw2 players seems to not understand (and pheraps Anet itself) is that rotating skills in cd is not skill, timing attacks and reading opponent movements to burst him is skill instead.

the time where you will prefer having a good warrior in team than a noob pver scrub using meta build who has no clue on how rotate is coming??? I hope so

it is not possible if you are a warrior player.
This happens cuz most of the teammate will be more busy to insult you during the match instead focusing on their gameplay. Mostly of them will even stop playing after you die first time, even if they already died twice, even if the only stomps of the match came from you.

just make revenant skill 2 reflectable. Easy.

half ruby soloQ. Berserker DPS warrior.

you are offended? and what warrior players who bought HOT should say??
not only the vanilla build is under performing, but the specialization is even worst!!!!!

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Shala.8352:

to be honest, adrenaline is the warrior’s last problem… i’m actualy having no problems at all in building adrenaline.
Lack of decent active healings capacity and lack of condi counter is much more important to fix.

did you actually read up what i wrote up there?

yes, i read, and thats the way to make warrior OP, like making him getting a chance to get 3 endure pain in a row, for a total of 15 seconds of invulnerability.
You are not fixing warrior’s problems, you are just making him OP.
What i would do? enter in combat, use TO THE LIMIT, outrage and headbut, activating endure pain and berserker stance, now i have enough adrenaline to go free attacks to get more adrenaline, and use it to activate endure pain and berserker stance again, and repeat.

to be honest, adrenaline is the warrior’s last problem… i’m actualy having no problems at all in building adrenaline.
Lack of decent active healings capacity and lack of condi counter is much more important to fix.

but this will be okay if they were single target and hard to land, like shield of warrior or headbutt. But no, lets make it aoe, no target require and let makes them hit the hole opposite team. And what else? lets make them spammable.

i miss the entire meta before the condi rise… i like any power build based where one mistake and kabooom, but those build were so rewared in the hands of skilled players.
But well whatever… pvers wanted condi buff so lets have this kitten meta.

Most hated: any pu mesmer condi cancer build that exist and ever existed.

Sounds interesting change.
I am playing warrior/berserker a lot in pvp in these days, despite every team mate raging at me when loosing, and i can say the difference between berserker and others meta class is not much the damage output, but the sustain, especialy against condi heavy. The sustain is lower cuz we actualy dont have any decent active healing skill, wich compared to class like elementalist and revenant who have even 2!!! makes us unable to recover from a condi spike, so that we always have to play very coscient and try to find always the best timing, wich against this bunker meta is never the right timing.
I think a good solution would be to decrease cd of most of the healing of warrior, especialy mending, and give warrior more rousing resilence like traits, wich help heal and sustain with the right combo and situation reaction.

Moral support for the OTHER team

this

i usualy count the number of DH and number of warrior.
Usualy if opponent team has one warrior and our team none, i feel advantaged.
Also opponent team having double thief makes me confortable.
If opponent team has 3+ dragon hunter (this happens often) + random class comp between reaper/druid/scrapper, i feel like pwned at the beginning.

well at least there’s some spotted proof about good high level thief beeing good… try warrior, no matter how much you try, you will be at the same level of a one week warrior player: the same useless level.
At least if you try hard you get some goal with thief.
When i play warrior, i feel like the more i try the worst i become.

i feel like the only issue with energy is related to elite usage. Is like elite are an all in skills, since they take so much energy that after that you wont be able to do anything than autoattack. Like for example the demon elite: yea nice 10% to all stats, but i wont be able to use any other skill in a few seconds, so what is that 10% more power/precision/critical/condi damage/healing for??
Also consider that starting with 50% energy is a huge thing, considering warrior start with 0 adrenaline, and when out of combat lose all the adrenaline, not only 50%.
Still i agree some skill should need some rework on energy spent, like the hammer 5 skill, so telegraphed and so hard to hit, but an high waste of energy, resulting often in not having any energy skill for burst after the eventualy hit.

Ath.2531:

I tried, I really tried to like my main again, who i’ve spent over 2500 hours on. I still find myself trying to play as warrior but I just can’t make myself stick with it for longer than a few minutes at a time.

Berserker is so repulsive as an elite spec that we are better of without it. But why?

- absolutely selfish play that offers nothing a reaper or revenant can’t. Damage is great if you can actually hit enough to build the kitten adrenaline which decays like freakin plutonium within seconds and when wefinally do manage to berserk, our burst abilities are practically downgrades. Hammer, bow burst? OMFG ballerina on steroids.

- Don’t you dare activate zerker stance out of combat. Its like trying to get angry, but instead you become aroused and finally you find inner peace. Our passive heals are horrible and our active condition removal is absurd, requiring a hit to take effect.

- No group support. My DH can shield the whole group with shield of courage from all dmg for like 6 seconds? And that’s 1 ability! DH heal our group with our heal virtue, trap enemies, mobility is superb and you never have to feel helpless.

kittens

yea man enjoy your warrior, i enjoy it so much with my 5k+ hours on warrior and like 3k+ duel training to be pwned by noobs carried by class/build. I can feel your frustrating… and it’s even more frustrating if you go watch other classes streams, like a mesmer or a a druid or a DH one, and then you discover those people that you cant beat in duel are pressing skills with mouse and beeing slow like my grandmother, and even not ever watching at any of the opponent animation, their movements are random because any skill they trow will hit no matter what is their positioning, randomly dodging and randomly proccing blind/aegis/evades/weakness.

Speaking about “our main cleanse”, is only 2 years i say cleansing ire is the kittentiest cleanse mechanic could have been done in this game, but even warriors keep saying that is ok loosing all adrenaline for nothing, and having a cleanse countered in fact by a condition (blind) and having the most telegraphed skills as a main cleanser. Other class just resolve by pressing a button without caring to hit, but okay… we need to hit with our telegraphed burt… OKAY

Speaking about revenant, i have tried it and ye has many evades, but when hit by condition is in the same spot as warrior, except for having better healing skills. And his skills are more immediate, i mean… UA has in fact no telegraph, meaning the time you read his animation you already have been hit by the skill. And so why should it do more damage than my full zerk full dps build eviscerate phoned skill?

i suggest you to take a break from pvp and do pve new stuffs like everyone is right now the game off course is not balanced, so is useless to play pvp.

Cygnus.6903:

The entire original post does not invite real discussion IMO, but we can still try.

You mention mesmer now being able to do more damage from stealth then thief can. How can this be intended when thief is meant to be the assassination class?

I play mesmer, as well as thief and warrior. I am way more skilled at the other two, yet the rewards I claim as a mesmer are far greater then with either war or thief. This is coming from a wvw roaming perspective.

Currently, the skill floor is too low. The ceiling is still high, though.

THIS.

the answer is simple, cleanse alone is not the counter to burning. most of cleanse skills are not immediate, and also time reaction will let burn at least have on thick.
Best counter to burn is: evade it. Wich is not that easy i know, but i think you people should not rely too much on those cleanse.
Talking about mesmer, it’s actualy the easiest class to play of the game. I dont wanna mean it’s OP, still is the most rewarding class, meaning that in good hands is much more deadly and immortal than other classes. Would be good to make it a little harder by add cast time to all his instant spammable at the same time skills.

a bit too op?? Are you kidding? is just over the top in terms of 1v1, and in team fights offering lot of tools like portals, mass invis to help ress, and lot of buffs.

Aniway would not be a problem if it was only “a bit too op”. Problem is that is also the easiest class i’ve tried in this game. Yesterday it happened i duelled a warrior with my mesmer wich i didnt used for like what.. 2 years? Well i just fell asleep, there was nothing that warrior could do to win, every action stun i made was immediate, every skill and burst is an instant no cast time, it’s too easy to play cuz every single action can be done by pressing a button and it’s IMMEDIATE. Also too many skills available even when i’m stunned i can still phase retreaat? RLLY?? This is ridicoulous.
But what rlly make the mesmer OP is not only their instant skills no cast time no skill needed gameplay, but their amazing traits. I really couldnt chose sometimes, they looked so amazing and well synergizing with each other.

I ended logging of and going back to my warrior, cuz i was afraid to lose skill by keeping using this class. In fact, there’s no REAL adrenaline when playing it^^, it’s like i can always recover from a bad situation and i’m not punished enough. Too many autoprocs blind/daze/immediate stun from range/aegis, and kiting is too easy to do untill next burst CD is ready again.

I’ve seen rush failing very often when the opponent is using a movement skill, like elementalist burning sped: if it happen he use this skill while you are using rush, your skill will end in a totaly unwanted spot and out of target. No matter if you were going to hit in the right timing outside his evade time (that is less than 1 sec), you will be hit by his burning speed but you will never hit. That’s what i noticed while comparing this 2 skills.
It happens with many other movement skills, like warrior savage leap, especialy if they are moving in your opposite direction and coming in front of you.
Also Rush will fail if the opponent moves at a certain scale of the rush attack line.

If you were to host a private 1 on 1 Tournament what would your “banned list” include. The reality is the game is still not balanced for 1 on 1, but could banning a few traits and utility skills do anything to help?

I would allow only berserker amulet, this help a lot to balance duels. Ranger not allowed too.
Any other build is ok. Rampage and lich is not a problem in 1v1 (rampage = just kite and wait the end, Lich =just use reflect skills)

Still as someone said, duel are not balanced, meaning classes are more efficient against others an less against some others.
For example, necro can be good against ele, but is poor against warrior.
Warrior can be good against necro, but how poor is against mesmer.

No rangers because?? And just reflect lich is also quite funny for most classes that dont have reflect XD
This post: Wow, just wow!

mesmer have reflect, warrior have reflect, guardian have reflect, ele have reflect, thief have reflect, but aniway if you dont have reflection you can go stealth, or use some immunity skill that every class have. Well if you are a necro… just pop lich you too XD XD XD.

Ranger not allowed cuz taunt actualy is bugged.

For example, necro can be good against ele, but is poor against warrior.
Warrior can be good against necro, but how poor is against mesmer.

to be fair, all the passive defensive procs disadvantaged warrior much more than other classes, That’s because warrior rely on low number high damage high cooldown attacks.
meaning a guardian aegis auto popping from virtue of courage while you are hitting him with an heartshaker has better probability to be effective compared to a same proccing aegis situation occuring while facing a pew pew ranger or a mesmer, cuz their frequency of attacks is higher.
I mean, aegis procs while ranger is doing rapid fire, does the ranger cares about that?

Also i would like to add to those talking about automatic defy pain: defy pain dont proc to inv your damage, procs to avoid the damage after that hit. Means its much less random compared to other classes autoprocs like aegis from virtue of the guardian, blind from burning of the elementalist (or even blind on dodge of the elementalist), and to be fair mesmer evades you mentioned are much better mechanicaly than guardian and ele’s ones, cuz they require in facts a reaction from the opponent, like blind on shattering or f4 distortion, they all require a skill activation. There’s a reason a lot of warrior consider the defy pain proc a too late defensive tool, since when it procs you already took the damage. Also, defy pain wont proc if you eat a 25% higher damage, the reason i m getting more oneshot on warrior than other classes in the actual meta (actualy hitting warriors for a 9k-10k eviscerate, making their defy pain useless).

And no, there isnt any indicator for a player to know what endless amount of passives people are running. I know the amount of passive defence tools other class have can be really frustrating for a warrior to play, since you are just wasting a lot of skills, but that only makes warrior timing much more skilled based, so you can enjoy it, or not depending if you chosed warrior only cuz of noobs forum people saying it’s the easiest class in the game (well i guess it is… for pve)

ye.
Reported this like in 20 post, all beeing cancelled.
Why this bug isnt beeing fixed? And ye even cripple affect eviscerate range.
I would also add to your post the ridicoulous “jump on yourself eviscerate” while affected by quickness…

Bug confirmed! Seems to happen when using a movement skill immediately during the taunt application, or when trying to use a movement skill while having taunt.
It’s an horrible bug, cant change target for the entire game!!!
ALL The opponents name become yellow, they are still suscetible to my damage, but cant be target at all, not by clicking and neither by tab button. Cant target even obstacles or trebs, cant target allies either. Even while going to the opposite part of the map, my target is still the pet who taunted me.
Absolutely need a fix!! It happened to me 3 times in a row yesterday

yes can confirm that at least the first second endure pain may not work. It happens to me I still take damage from the first unblockable attack, or from sigil procs like hydromancy sigill. Also sometimes seems damage beeing taken from opponent evading attacks (like wirlwind)

Restorative illusion: Heal yourself and lose conditions when you use a shatter skill.

Cleansing Water: Remove a condition when granting regeneration to yourself or an ally

Cleansing Wave: Remove a condition from you and your allies when attuning to water

Diamond Skin: Conditions cannot be applied to you when your health is above the threshold (this is a troll for berserker stance, just make you understand how much time berserker stance is acting on a elementalist durint an entire fight)

Shadow’s Embrace: Remove conditions periodically while in stealth CD 3seconds (trololololol brawler recovery, and not even requiring any action like cleansing ire)

Escapist’s Absolution: Remove a condition whenever you evade an attack (this alone can rrrrreeeeekt all the cleanse skills of warrior togheter, especialy considering the perma evades thief can have)

Blurred Inscriptions: Activating a signet grants you distortion and removes conditions. Signet recharge is also reduced. (trolololol it’s like having endure pain, a better on demand cleanse than cleansing ire and signet master all togheter in the same trait!!!! TROLOLOLOLOLOL WARRIOR TROLOLOLOL)

The Pledge: Torch skills remove conditions. Torch skills recharge faster while you are in stealth. (trololololol cleansing ire i dont have to hit, i just use a skill and cleanse)

Empathic Bond: Pets periodically take conditions from you, CD 10sec condition removed 3 (trololololol cleansing ire i dont have to hit and i dont have to build my adrenaline to remove 3 conditions)

I dont even start with necro cuz ye, he just eat conditions.
Okay what you see, is that other classes have better on demand cleanse traits that just make cleansing ire useless.
Stop telling me cleansing ire is decent cuz is actualy a kitten.
As i said many many times in this forum, the adrenaline gain from hit shoult be moved at the place of thick skin (wich has to be removed since is another trololololol) and cleansing ire should be changed by a DECENT OOOOON DEMAND cleanse mechanic, like the ones i mentioned from others class.

“Also, greatsword and to some extent hammer burst are also doable to land. GS burst is a quickcast AoE, and hammer burst can be a follow-up to other CC”
You fool, those are already hard burst to land and require an outplay (or noobplay of the opponent, it depends on the point of wiew), but as i said if i’m gonna unload a condi burst on you, i will dodge none of your attack but the burst, or just start kite you enjoying the timer to death flowing on your condition bar.

Sharky.1470:

Cleansing Ire is fine as it is. We have other problems, as warriors, this ain’t one of them. I take Last Stand over Cleansing Ire, as I feel I don’t need it…

i usualy chose last stand over cleansing ire since the cleansing provided from it is unreliable, it’s based on a noob play from the opponent who let you hit him with a burst with chill/blind/cripple/weakness and many others… a decent condi player, when applied those condi will just kite like hell, since this is the purpose of condi damage player: dealing damage while kiting and running like a chicken, waiting for condi doing the damage instead of skills.
To be honest, last thing i will do when getting plenty of condi is trying to desperatly hit with a telegraphed burst the opponent and hoping he wont dodge, a desperate race against the time of condition damage. Cleanser skill/trait should be immediate and on demand, else they are not reliable.

So, speaking about warrior having many others cleanse doesnt make cleansing ire a decent cleanse mechanic.

mm 2051 conditions applied.. this make me smile when people tell me l2p and bring cleanser against condi players XD XD.

custom pvp arena already exist…
