What about Precision Strike?
It affects Precision strike too so dont worry no more mega damage from that either.
Assassin’s Annihilation was affecting all projectile attacks. It has now been disabled until it can be hotfixed.

With Assassin’s Annihilation currently bugged to deal 600% of its intended damage (over 900% in PvE), Rev hammer auto attacks hits harder than True Shots as long as its hitting from the side/behind.

I hope this gets fixed soon . I have a Rev (havent used it yet since patch) but i doubt it can be fun winning with such a bug and its certainly not fun being on the recieving end of it.
How can we test builds when such an huge bug is in the game?

That’s basically the build Cygnus popularized. The new AH just made it stronger.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Video-Berserker-WvW-Roaming-Build
.
yeah when Cygnus posted that and when WilsonStorm started streaming it i knew the game was up. I had fun on it for most of 2015 though when very few people talked or even knew about it. And if they did they didnt speak about it on forums.
Its even stronger now with the new AH.
You can gear full glass and still have good sustain.

Was using Gs Mace/Shield skull crack with defender runes in WvW ever since the defender rune was released waaaaay back. Its the best rune for a warrior by far in my opinion. The sustain is just plain ridiculous.
My armor is still on my toon waiting for WvW to fire up again.
It was the best kept secret until WilsonStorm started using it a few months ago on his stream.
It was also incredibly powerful on my medi guard (pre DH) with the amount of blocks and aegis a guardian has access to.

I actually think War probably has better diversity than other classes in pvp right now. I see good potential for Power GS Builds and Condi Longbow builds.

Hammer wasn’t touched at all with the nerf bat
I suggest you read the patch notes again.
•Rocket Charge: This skill now executes two leaps instead of three.
Thats a big drop in CC (leaping in Lightning Field), Healing (leaping in Water Field), Retaliation (leaping in Light Field for Light Aura)
So yeah keep saying Hammer wasn’t touched at all…

This is how the MM system has been working in every division and is a major issue for most players. Designed to keep “crap” players down and let “good” players move up.
So according to ANETS logic you are a crap “legend” and deserve to get stomped.

Im using GS Mace/Shield build and with rousing resilience i only have 2 condi clear on berserk activation (thats 2 per 28 seconds so nothing special there). Then its just 1 per weapon swap. (1 per 5 seconds). Thats not nearly enough to counter the condi meta that we’re in right now.
If you take CI then in berserker mode you’re easily using your F1 each weapon swap so thats up to 3 conditions every 5 seconds. When not in berserker mode it probably wont be every swap but it can be 3 conditions every 10 seconds minimum. Not to mention the extra adrenaline gain when hit.
Thats a huge difference. I would bet there is a very high chance that at least 3 (maybe 4) enemy team members will be condi classes next season especially now that Condi War is more viable. Just from a statistical point of view that would make condi clearing more beneficial than 1000 extra toughness i would think.

1 question, why break stun with headbutt / berserker mode over a 10 sec break stun skill?? is there even a reason to save outrage when there’s no passive effect in it?
Because it will give you 5k health (2x Rousing Resilience, one from the headbutt and the other from entering berserker state) and put your in Berserker State (where you want to be) to start wrecking house with your opponent sitting in a 4s stun, while still having your short cd stun breaker ready if you need it.
so if someone stuns me. I use headbutt to break stun (2.5k heal). It also stuns me so i use berserk to break it again and i get another 2.5k heal right?
Your typical average gamer -

Thanks Furajir
So i guess LB is the best weapon since it procs CI and AH just by using the F1 even if no one is there?

I think they will leave it as it is for Season 3. It needs to play out both in regular tiers and in pro leagues ESL. I doubt teams will be stacking wars. Not with mesmers still being best 1v1 class by the looks of things.
At worst i would think a 25% reduction in healing. and reduce the duration from 15s to 12s but again im just guessing here.
But honestly people just need to get used to fighting warriors again.

•Adrenal Health: This trait has been reworked. For each level of adrenaline spent, the warrior will gain an instance of Adrenal Health that will heal over the course of 15 seconds. This effect stacks up to 3 times.
I want to confirm if AH works like Cleansing Ire. Does it actually neet to LAND (hit someone) for it to proc like CI does? The wording doesnt suggest it needs to.
The reason i ask is if im playing a non Longbow build do i need to hit someone with my F1 or can i just spend the Adrenaline?
Please answer if you have tested this with a NON Longbow melee build.
Thanks

Its like DH traps when they first came out. It took a while for people to learn to fight them.
No one really worried about fighting warriors in the last 2 seasons since they were all glass cannon Gunflame . Now they have to re-learn how to fight Warrior. It will take a couple weeks but by the time season 3 starts it won’t be that hard.

That Tempest rune isnt bad. tested it last night. Well hard to tell how much it was healing for but i can tell you i really liked having Cleansing Ire. In berserk mode its basically full condi immunity.
Pity we have to sacrifice that sweeeeeet 1000 extra toughness. But i guess if you come across condi heavy teams take Tempest rune and CI. If power comps, take RR and any other rune like Pack Rune.
A good player will burst you when your berserker mode is up. its like reaper death shroud, sorta. The healing is 1100 per break stun and it scales with healing power.
Can you explain why 1100 healing per stun break vs 2500 healing per stun break means i would get bursted down any faster? or are you referring to the 1000 toughness i would be missing?

I don’t know about you, but for me it just removes one class from the game.
My guardian and mesmer used to go 50/50 against necros, now not a single necro is able to do anything. Had to place traps separately, use smart tactics when fighting reaper with my guardian. Now i just run to their faces and destroy them.
Is anyone gonna miss reapers in pvp?

You know its funny how people are saying rev is the worst class while guardians are switching over to rev because they feel the same way about guardians im really starting to wonder how biased peoples views are on the classes and not really giving any facts as to whats so bad about the classes.
Yup just like how necros are crying rivers of tears because they are not faceroll anymore.

There are tons of unblockable skills un every class to single out necro’s is silly.
On a tangent. My old class guardian was supposed to have Low HP because it had access to healing and BLOCKS/AEGIS. Then ANET came along and added a truckload of unblockable stuff to every class. GG
ok back to original thread topic…..
You say that as if the amount of blocks that gaurdians have isn’t enough? ROFL.
Im not asking for more blocks. In fact i’d trade a lot of my guardians blocks for more base HP. Since blocks do kitten all and condis rip through health pools.

havent played any matches yet (real life gets in the way) but i can imagine you will get the same experience like season 1 necro. Lots of re-rollers moving to OP class. Mostly mediocre for the time being but since its so strong eventually they will get good enough to carry themselves up to diamond.
Expect to see at least 3-5 mesmers per match (out of 10 players)

Was testing Longbow Sword/Torch with rousing resilience and as mentioned above looks like it will be the meta.
However i also tested GS Mace/Shield, with demolisher Amulet and boy does that bring memories back to the old days of skull crack. Very strong, I love the power playstyle but i feel condi longbow/Sw/Torch will be more effective over all.

I don’t understand why people think necros having chill uptime is some huge problem.
Every single kitten condi class in the game has 1-2 condi type that they put out in large amounts.
Condi Guard -burn
Condi Engi – burn with minor amounts of bleed and poison
Condi Beserker – burn with a side of bleed
Condi revenant – torment with a side of poison
Condi Mesmer – confusion with a side of torment
Condi theif – bleed and poison
Condi ele (this really should be a thing) – bleed and burn
Except no one hardly played the builds below in S2
Condi Guard -burn (LOL Wut?)
Condi Engi – burn with minor amounts of bleed and poison (yeah handicap yourself by not playing power hammer, sure)
Condi Beserker – burn with a side of bleed (LOL warriors)
Condi revenant – torment with a side of poison (saw like 2 of them the whole season)
Where as there were 2 necros in every team (sometimes 4) in diamond and below tiers

Just halving chill damage and reducing chill uptime would have been a good start.
Even though i dont play necro, this is what i would have expected. A reduction in chill damage done and duration. Swapping to bleeds was a big surprise.

tl;dr NECRO NERFS, overall balance changes were the EXACT OPPOSITE I was hoping to see (along with many others I would think) and killed the only reason I was still playing this game. Probably done for the foreseeable future
How anyone could think Necros would not get nerfed is beyond me.
Then again ANET didn’t nerf Mesmers so i guess anything is possible

Best way is for everyone to play Mesmer. Then maybe, just maybe, ANET will realise there is a balance problem and fix it.
But yeah i’d like to hear other methods too.
You mean like when everyone, their mother and their dog played reaper?
yeah pretty much everyone did. ( i did not) but i saw so many reapers and guess what, they got nerfed.
But i think Thief/War could do well against mesmers.

RIP fearing entire zergs off cliffs in EoTM. Honestly these 10 target limits are really dumb, just encourages more stacking/zergballing and making zerging even more braindead.
Its done pretty much to every class.. See below to Guardian
•Ring of Warding: The number of times this skill can be used to attempt to knock back an enemy has been capped at 10.
•Line of Warding: The number of times this skill can be used to attempt to knock back an enemy has been capped at 10.
•Test of Faith: The number of times this skill can be used to attempt to strike an enemy has been capped at 10, after which the trap will disappear. The damage of this skill has been reduced by 7%.
So the 10 limit is affecting everyone.

I’m a warrior and I rofl stomp mesmers. Thiefs/warriors are their hard counter imo, but since no one runs them in meta….
So hammer/GS warrior? Is it the stuns and control? I have a friend mains warrior he would be interested in your tactic
Hammer, Mace/Shield or GS Mace/Shield would give you a lot of CC for interrupting moa etc. I havent tested it but it sounds feasible.

4th line? Sure since what this game needs most is more power creep.
Seriously though they should revert the trait locking they made last year where you can only choose from 3 options in each tier. I want to be able to choose an adept trait and slot it into a master slot if i want to.

No i am not being overly dramatic
Ventari is still trash, No way you will pick ventari over a druid
Sword nerfed even more, Sword #2 is trash now. Good game
Sword #2 is still bugged as hell
Mallyx is mediocre
Shiro got nerfed
Dward is crap, hammers are a bandaid in raids and bugged as hell anywhere else
Glint F2 is carrying the proff. If there is a 1 trick pony, this is it.I honestly do not understand how anyone can play rev right now
and yet its still TOP 3 class for pvp
If you think Mallyx is mediocre you’re not playing it right. I had quite a bit of success with Mallyx/Shiro last season vs all those necros out there.
How often do you use Mallyx elite for longer than 3sec?
I don’t. I liked Mallyx for the amazing resistance uptime it gave to me and my team when facing condi classes. I would just use the mallyx elite for the AOE burn trait and then turn it off again. The boon rip and resistance uptime was really good.
Plus since the skill range on power revs is so huge (so many mediocre power revs in lower tiers) i would wreck them 1v1 due to their lack of condi cleanse. Plus the average to poor power rev would spam skills when they had stacks of torment and confusion on them.
Of course it probably doesnt work in higher tiers but since i started seaons 2 late i didnt get that high up to notice.

havent played war for the past 2 seasons so correct me if im wrong.
Here’s the theory.
1. Tons of FOTM re-rollers are likely to move from necro to Mesmer.
2. There will be at least 2 mesmers in every team you face next season (if not more)
3. Most will be average or below average.
Now generally in pvp you can do 2 things to be an asset to your team.
1. Play a strong top tier meta class using their meta build
or
2. Play a build that is designed specifically to counter the current top tier meta class.
If 1, play mesmer
If 2, play a class that has a ton of CC and condis
So how about the old Skull Crack/Hammer war build. Or Skull Crack/GS
On mesmers wouldn’t that be overwhelmingly large amounts of CC and with stuff like distracting strikes etc it would give you enough condi damage also.
Any thoughts?

pls keep pve related stuff out of here this is only pvp related
Ok PVP related. I got way more use out of Blast Gyro/Final Salvo than i did with slick shoes especially when solo Queuing. Incredibily low CD with good damage and AOE knockback. So for pvp i dont miss slick shoes. I understand for a coordinated team that lockdown with slickshoes is very good if everyone focuses the target but for 1v1 (or uncoordinated teams) i liked blast gyro much better.
