My Thoughts exactly, Already running this, gonna be that much better! And mm 5 boons = 15% extra dmg, Hello Eviscerate devastation witht he unblockable attacks from signet!
I like that Aegis is one of the boons that will boost that Eviscerate damage while you ignore it, rofl
you mean people make builds in which they survive your attempts at DPS and you rage? Maybe you should re-spec your own toon for Spvp then?
So you’re saying that, despite the game not being properly balanced yet, everyone should just play the same brainless tank builds rather than strive to make suggestions in line with making the game more diverse and interesting? :|
P.S You all ebay must thank me for this, im making your server much better by forcing you to organize a counter night crew, i want my payment
Yeah, we’re going to have to start posting people in hard-to-see places so that we can screencap the people who keep exploiting into Hills. I think we’ve also all been made better players with such intimidating talk as, “can u leave ?” Ehmry truly fears.
Be a good warrior and do what other warriors do when they see an ele, RUN!
Or jog at a leisurely pace, turning around to smack half of their health off to give them a hint before declining – for the third time – their duel requests because you’ve got more important ways to spend the next 5 minutes, like building trebuchets. Half of them barely do any damage, they just expect to outlast you over an absurd amount of time due to high mobility and overkill healing. Ain’t nobody got time fo dat.
The day I fall to a Greatsword wielding Warrior is the day I give up on ever becoming remotely good at the game and commence uninstalling. Get it through your thick skulls people, just DROP the Greatsword, leave it in PvE where it belongs, write it love letters every now and then so it doesn’t feel abandoned.
Lemme tell you something, Axe auto attack will beat Hundred Blades every time, the damage difference really isn’t all that significant considering you will never land a full HB and the GS auto attack damage is pathetic.
You all bring shame to an already disgraceful class, I’ll see you out there for some Glory farming.
I find it excellent in WvW. But then I like using its mobility to not die horribly like the people around me. I assume you’re mostly talking about the mess that is sPvP though.
Thread is long, so I didn’t read it. An idea I’ve always thought would be good is for a boss to unlock specific tiers of different attacks depending on the amount of people fighting it, rather than just buffing up its stats.
Not a detriment, the boons are just being specifically countered by a class that needs help against them. Something like a mace ignoring protection is a pretty “raw force” way of doing it to go with the flavor of the warrior, I think.
This thread is starting to look like a lot of excuses now, haha.
I’m frequently the last one standing. The reason being, I’ll go to great lengths to avoid death and believe in my ability to either defeat the boss alone if I really have to, or be able to escape because…why not? If there is no victory condition, it’s better to flee than die – more of a fun rush that way.
Probably because you can stop a 8 year old from playing the game (change their password, for example), but not stop them from reading kittens on a forum on the Internet.
I imagine if I had an 8 year old they would have heard far worse at school already. =p
All things considered, I haven’t really felt it a grind to make my legendaries. I’ve played 2160.5 hours and even the farming was fun, because I met some really cool people in the process.
Solo? I’ve always loved my Warrior. In open world I’ve taken down everything from the Queensdale troll to Rotbeard to the Eye of Zhaitan to the Priestess of Dwayna. Ordinary mobs just give me Might to drop things faster. This character has provided me almost 1,700 hours of enjoyment and I wouldn’t trade any of them.
That’s because you can roll your face on your keyboard and survive as a defensive/heal Guardian, lol
Anyway, no…first or last to go down doesn’t mean much to me. Watch your party and how they play. It will tell you a lot more about your group than the order people go down when something bad happened in one situation.
What I always found funny is that you can disable it in the game, but apparently are not able to on the forums.
Anyway, yes, the filter is annoying. Half of the time it blocks out harmless words or a string of random letters in the middle of an otherwise fine word and renders messages difficult to understand. I don’t really understand the rationale anyway. People aren’t going to shatter because they read a word that society has deemed “icky”.
I was silently hoping for a good fix for precursor prices and/or scavenger hunt for this update. Who am I kidding though, 700g for a precursor is ofcourse completely how it was intended. I’ve been sitting on my 3 gifts since December, waiting for the scavenger hunt and throwing rares into the forge occasionally hoping for a lucky break wich I have never gotten, and never will most likely.
Is this precursor scavenger hunt even being worked on anymore though? All I remember hearing was “Don’t expect it before the March update” and it’s April now. An update on this matter would be appreciated.
I’m planning my third legendary now…I’m having trouble feeling too much sympathy over precursors anymore. Yes, they’re high, but it’s do-able.
I’ve killed multiple D/D Eles in WvW. Many people are rather predictable. But I do think the constant healing is way too forgiving in general; I have a D/D Ele of my own as well.
I’ve been playing Warrior since launch and won’t give up on the class. I feel that if we can excel when we’re at our weakest and learn from that, when we finally get our due buffs, be it in WvW, PvP, or whatever, we will become that much more powerful. I can’t wait.
And yet stealth is not a guarantee unlike other people mechanics so how can it be low risk when theres always the possibility someone will just kill you while your in it?
Speaking from a WvW perspective, it’s rather close. Getting owned? Stealth => run…99% chance of escape.
sil u have to play a thief to understand. 99.9% of complaints are from 1 v1 scenarios…..if u complain abut those you are an IDIOT bc they mean nothing and anywhere. the only viable builds are bleed invis and d/p invis bc its OUR only defense. maybe if blind worked the way i said ti should u would see other kidns of thievs that dont wanna go invis. without blind they way i say or invis. thieves will 99.9% NOT BE PLAYED bc they die in less than 2 secs in any zerg fight….unless they invis/ss out even then its a small chance of getting out. the best wvw players and pvp players have AOE effects and AOE CC. medium dmg to match and the team with the most CC / aoe dmg wins. its simple. would u rather have a player that hits 10k per ONE player or 2500 per 5 players? the answer is 2500 per 5 incase you are bad at math. thieves really suck if u think otherwise than you are just a skirmisher and should play mesmer/thief. think outside the box plz.
and ther eis no invisble forever. just seems like that. and going invis for a long time takes away all initiative and some utnility skills. be thankful for that. you see invis as offense…u should really see it as defense. but you obv dont play a thief. the ONLY good thieves right now are the ones with a really fast reaction time. the rest get ownd.
Honestly a lot of what you said doesn’t really pertain to what I had in mind. Probably. It’s kind of hard to parse some of your message.
Anyway, I was trying to say that the invisibility and “pop” mechanics mixed with the lag of rendering creates this sort of horrible problem with near perpetual invisibility. When it’s not happening I’ve got no problem at all fighting thieves. The mechanics themselves are interesting but have somewhat unfortunate side effects for myself and a lot of other players which weren’t really intended by the devs.
You mean condition removal without having to wear a full set of Melandru runes and/or chug down a million Bowls of Lemongrass Poultry Soup? Madness. THAT WOULD MAKE WARRIOR UNSTOPPABLE, OBVIOUSLY.
Before you people cry about imbalance please post a video of you playing and your build so the community can determine whether you have a right to your claims. I’m 99% sure most of the cry babies either have sub par gear, builds, and movement (Back peddle, Clicking, Key turning, not dodge rolling). I strongly believe if these things apply to you then you have no right to come to the forums and whine. You are not playing the best you can be playing so of course good people are going to make short work of you “handicapped gamers”.
Ha, you posted this exact same crap over on the thief forum I think. Now you come to the warrior forum of all places. The game isn’t balanced. It’s less than a year after launch, so go figure. You think it’s balanced? You’re on crack. Have fun though.
On the subject of “zergs” and WvW, my main question is this: How are you supposed to predict anything in a setting like that, where even 2s of rendering lag makes it so that any given one of these thieves is invisible the majority of the time, even during their attacks? Culling has been “fixed”, so we are told, but issues like this still remain. I find the invisibility mechanic a bit annoying in light of this. Mostly I want to know if there will ever be a change in the future which reduces this problem in some way.
I’m glad some other people think guardians are just a bit ridiculous in comparison. I always laugh when I kill a guardian as my warrior. They should be ashamed.
I’d be okay with Rush not having such a slow kitten buggy attack at the end of it’s slow kitten buggy run, since the attack is also ruined by cripple and chill.
I’d rather have a necromancer with me just to corrupt the boons of the silly kitten classes who rely on having a huge stack of them. Nothing makes me laugh more than watching Corrupt Boon go off on guardian or ele.
I don’t even have that problem, it should only occur if your computer is too slow after the network related culling has been fixed. Same with thieves, not a problem since.
I get it with thieves at times too. Anytime something is “popping” or supposed to be rendering in somehow, it gives them like an extra second.
I feel they go hand in hand. One or the other needs to work properly so that there is no issue. I detest fighting people that I cannot see for the majority of the fight when it’s not even a legitimate mechanic.
What’s overpowered about the class is the irritating “pop” mechanics that players seem to depend on in WvW. Almost every mesmer I fight is invisible 90% of the time because of the server lag making them not appear for just long enough for them to be able to abuse their next disappearing skill.
Mesmers themselves? I don’t have problems with them. It’s when I can’t even kittening see or target them that’s the problem; the issue needs to be looked at.
I run havoc all day long. Building up siege in most cases isn’t viable when we’re using hit-and-run tactics to deteriorate a zerg or troll keep defenders while the real zerg is elsewhere. There are a lot of situations where not having range will screw you over.
I don’t seem to have found them. What I have found is a massive pile of badges from people I’ve personally killed, brutally and effectively, with my melee setup. To each their own.
Just a viable way to act at range. or to hit runners.
We dont want ranged to be so good its the main playstyle, just buffed enough so that you can hit something other than a stationary target.
We are the ONLY profession which lacks a viable ranged option.
I’m not really feeling sympathy. Give up some of the over-the-top survivability in melee first.
I rarely use my commander tag – only when it’s absolutely necessary to protect an objective – but I easily spend 10g/wk or more between siege and upgrades. I’m not afraid to start dropping ballistas behind us in field battles just to get even the smallest edge, I’ve got rams and catapults at every capture, and if we hold Stonemist you can bet those are my super trebs at the top of it raining down constant harassment on enemy towers. I throw down golem squads, including Omegas, arrow carts to outfit every keep I see in need, and will constantly upgrade anything that isn’t working.
Guardians don’t need ranged. If you want ranged, you can give up some of the ridiculous tankiness you have. If you get a bow, Warriors better kitten well at least get access to protection.
