Protection Warrior Build ?

And then you actually play-test and realize how horrible it is…

Pretend for one second that warriors aren’t supposed to be the same as guardians. What this build does is exactly what you always talk about. It has protection, condition removal, (minor, but with our health pool we don’t need a ton) sustain, while still putting out solid burst coupled with in fight mobility.

I have played this build for about a month and had great results. I have over 1000 hours on warrior primarily in WvW. For playing in small group zerg busting groups this build has been very rewarding to me. So yes, I have play tested it. Yesterday I succesfully pulled off a 3v1 against 2 elementalists and a thief (admittedly, the eles were staff eles divorced from the zerg) and have for a change found my warrior being the last one standing in a small scale WvW group frequently. Warrior is kitten, yes but whining about that in every thread is just annoying. Save your “WARRIORS SHOULD BE GUARDIANS” for the threads about improving warriors.

Nice, so how do you gain protection?
And how do you remove conditions?

Protection from the runes of the earth (6s every 30s) and converting vulnerability to protection. Condition removal from warhorn, heal can be swapped to mending and and banner to Signet of Stamina.

Play it in a group. Trust me, it is effective. Just because warriors need buffs don’t think there are no effective ways to play them.

So basicly you rely on a long cool-down gimmick of a rune that only gives you protection at a certain point, and a completely unreliable condition conversion based on luck and relies completely on your enemy’s approval.

Might as well just label yourself as: Free Kill.

I laugh at anyone who uses those, because I know I can precast my boon removal/steal just for when it pops up. Your entire rune set wasted because it relies on your OPPONENT. Vulnerability is a rare condition as well, You would remove bleeds/poison way before it just because of how fast its applied over Vulnerability. Warhorn only converts the newest boon, even if you see vuln and use it, chances are bleed/poison will tick over it.

Not even that, with how classes work, its fairly easy just to move away from you and kite you with protection. I can tell you don’t SPVP much.

Don’t Rely on Gimmicks

I stated it was a build for roam groups in WvW. I know the limitations of a warrior in structured and that’s why I didn’t say “in structured”

It’s not a gimmick. Try running it for a while. It;s a nice builf and will see some amazing sex

For PvE? Not really a point when you can kill everything pretty easily. But a warrior with good protection uptime is possible and viable for small group play.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8.0|2.1g.h15|c.1g.h15.g.1g.h4|1n.7o.1n.7o.1n.7o.1n.7o.1n.71h.1n.71h|2s.0.2s.0.3s.0.31j.0.21j.0.2v.0|0.a4.k2a.k69.k6a|1k.1|5y.63.6g.6i.0|e

With banner of tactics down you have at least 6.6s of protection every 30s, with each conversion of vulnerability which is flying around everywhere in WvW adding 5s to that. I’ve run this to great success, the 10 points in arms may also be adjusted to any other line, 10 to defense for defy pain or last stand, 10 to tactics for banner regen if you want to go the route of tanky support (goes without saying you should change gear in that case), 10 in discipline for burst mastery. With 6 boons (you will have that in most fights with no issue, two of which I used are 5 stacks of might and fury), and a full 25 stacks of bloodlust even without the buff from Merciless Hammer you are looking at 4700 effective power.

So here is a tanky, hard hitting warrior with group utility. Here ya go people, have fun.

Protection warrior is possible with some doing. Warrior needs some help, totally but in the mean time people get creative.

I was really interested in a few things in particular:

1) Weakness, as a condition, is getting a global buff. It will allegedly begin affecting critical hits, as well.

2) Warriors are getting more stunbreak and condition mitigation.

3) Warrior adrenaline use will be rewarded, and burst skills will have more “perks” tied to them a la Trait: Building Momentum.

1) Good and bad, we’ll see how it plays out.

2) Awesome, here’s hoping those stunbreaks are tied to weapon skills because that would be kitten.

3) This is the one I’m the most excited for. I think there’s actually a good chance of getting a heal from using burst, or that previously mentioned condition removal is going to come in the form of using burst.\

Should be interesting anyway. We may actually see real improvement or more likely its going to be another misguided “buff” that is completely cancelle by some change to another class or mechanic.

Wanted to say I’m going to miss playing on Anvil Rock. Been there since launch, lots of good times with great players. Since the new year what I want from a WvW server has been changing and Anvil just wasn’t it anymore. Despite many efforts to organize and improve, a good deal of which improved the server a lot, Anvil now reminds me a lot of the days after we lost [ARC]. I was only really enjoying roaming and that is far from all I want to do in WvW. Didn’t really know where would be a good fit for me until we started fighting Ehmry. Despite the trolls, (which doesn’t bother me, as a citizen of the internet you learn to identify and ignore trolls) Ehmry seemed like the place. Organized and tactically strong zergs, small group play, roamers, and a large active community. I was waiting for the matchup to end and now that’s it’s come to a close I’m leaving Anvil.

Going to miss a lot of guys, especially the [WAR] guys and the guys who left to join [Crit]. A lot of good players are on Anvil, I’m going to miss roaming with guys like Dovgan, my [Crit] buddies, and Kardiamond (wish we had played together sooner because it’s a blast to run with you) and whole bunch of others.

No ill will guys, I know Anvil and it will reorganize, revamp and get back to the way things were. Looking forward to what my new home has to offer and offering my dubious skills to them.

Good times last night with Kardiamond and the [vT] guys.

Highlights would definitely be when I was with Kardiamond and slider pulling BP guys by umber and durios when a BP guy adds us and tells us to leave us alone so they can take durios. Obviously we said no way, so they took the whole zerg to chase the three of us to Ogrewatch. That and the fight in BP BL at vale with [vT]. Good ten minutes Ebay kept coming at us. Many bags and badges last night.

Seriously. We have pretty decent condition removal if you trait for it. No profession gets free condition removal, there is some trait expenditure involved in getting condition removal in all classes. Stop whining about conditions and learn to build for them.

Make a build for condition removal for me, by following rules:

1. No sigils
2. No runes

here ya go, im waiting

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8.0|2.1g.0|c.1g.0.g.1g.0|0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0|0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0|a2.0.k2a.k69.k6a|0.0|5z.6f.6b.0.0|e

You have mending to remove all but two non damage conditions before the two it’s already built to remove. Charge removes all movement impairing conditions, and converts one to a boon. Call to Arms removes one and turns it into a boon. Shake It Off removes one and breaks stun. Signet of stamina removes all conditions. Dogged march reduces all movement impairing conditions by 33%

That is up to six every 26s, up to four and a random boon AoE every 12.5s, one and a random boon every 16s, one and a stun break every 25s, and a full cleanse every 36s.

Now please, explain to me how these options aren’t enough. We are not immune to conditions and heavy condition pressure will be a challenge to deal with. With runes and sigils which for some reason you don’t want me to include you can actually make conditions pretty trivial outside of the most extreme condition pressure. For example, you could run something like this in WvW.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8.0|2.1g.h19|c.1g.h19.g.1g.h1|1n.7r.1n.7r.1n.7r.1n.7r.1n.7r.1n.7r|1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.2v.0|a2.0.k2a.k69.k6a|15.1|5z.6f.6b.6g.6m|e

All that condition removal with -65% condition duration, and transfer conditions to enemies with a 60% chance on crit.

Warriors suffer more from no real sustain than they do from conditions if you build right.

kitten, meant runes of the earth. With the warhorn trait you can convert vulnerability to protection.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8.0|2.1g.h15|c.1g.h15.g.1g.h4|1n.7o.1g.7o.1n.7o.1g.7o.1g.71h.1n.71h|2s.0.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.2v.0|0.0.u19b.k19.k6a|1k.7|5y.6g.6i.6f.6m|e

This is what I use (Shield Mastery should be merciless hammer and Embrace the pain dogged march, they are broken and kitten up the calculations for Effective Power and EHP)

Basically you gain a ton of survivability for group play, conditions are not a problem. Easily most survivable build I’ve played for warrior.

Why wouldn’t any troll build be good for group play? When you’re in a group there’s a lot of carrying that goes on, your side or the other. One man army is where it’s at.

I don’t understand how it’s a troll build. A build like this brings far more utility to a fight than one focused around lyssa runes. You can easily swap 10 points out of defense and into unsuspecting foe and swap leg specialist for empowered and you already have more survivability than the build you posted with a greatly increased potential for damage. When you’re alive longer from shedding conditions you need some sustain, and you get it from regen from dogged march, mango pie, and adrenal health as well as from the life steal from the sigils of blood. Try it out, I’ve run Lyssa builds before and it always seemed gimmicky in that you have a short window for your burst. Popping signet of rage with full Lyssa can potentially be a game changer in a fight, but I’ve found that builds that rely on “big moments” are generally less effective than ones that focus on consistency. Thieves are effective because they can consistently stealth, D/D’s because they can maintain their boons, Guardians because they can mitigate damage consistently, condition engineers because they can constantly reapply, etc.

As for your feelings about Endure Pain and Bull’s Charge, I think you need to give these skills a second look. Endure Pain is extremely useful in countering bursts, picking up teammates and spiking enemies, escape and surviving focus. You need to learn to use it wisely and then it’s easily one of our best skills. Bull’s Charge gets trashed on because a lot of people use it wrong. It is best when you DON’T use it to initiate. That is what everyone expects you to do. Save it for a pivotal moment in a fight, interrupting a heal, changing targets, or even escape.

Suddenly, you have a warrior who hits hard, has access to protection (at least 6s every 30s) and condition removal that also gives you a whole host of other boons and is party wide and perma vigor. Not to mention you have passive heals through mango pie regen, dogged march regen, adrenal health and life stealing.

Fights in the video are a bit boring, you don’t really showcase any good opponents. I’m not stating that you don’t know the class, or criticizing your skill as you obviously know what you’re talking about (The only criticism I would offer is in your utility choice which seems a bit odd to me).

What I will say though is that I don’t think this offers much help to those who are struggling against good mesmers, rangers, p/d thieves, engi’s, etc.

I stated earlier that this was within an hour of gameplay and I got that many frags. It was mainly a test video, but I thought I’d throw in some other stuff like leap spots. Honestly leap spots are a warrior’s best friend. I also mentioned that there’s simply nothing a warrior can do to some of the strong classes at the moment. This includes mesmers, a dumb build like p/d thief, an even more helpless feeling with the Sword thieves… God help you if you ever encounter one of those that know how to use their broken skills. Engie’s are pretty hard too. They’re nearly invincible against any class. I put them up there with demigods.

How is my utility choice odd? Stability is a must when roaming solo. You can get shut down way too easy. It also helps stomp guards, warriors, and engies. FGJ is pretty universal. I can’t find a better utility than that. Perma fury? constant 6 stacks of might? sign me up. You can also use it for a nice health boost if you run the shouts heal build.

Sig of Precision is debatable. I’ve run a couple different ones. One that went well with the shouts heal trait was vulnerability. Once they updated sig of might, I ran that for a while because of the 180 power which is quite nice. Tkittenlockable attacks was nice for hounding a guard, but it needs to be updated to unblindable 3 attacks as well. So I tried out SoP after I watched Matale video. I gotta say SoP is pretty nice. You can use flurry to imobilize an unsuspecting thief, pop it, then slam them with an ES. Learning to use flurry skillfully takes a while though.

Signet of Stamina, Bull’s Charge, Endure Pain

Three skills I’d take well before FGJ! or Signet of Fury.

I don’t understand how this build is really unique though. Hammer and Sword/whatever is super common. It looks like you have some PTV or valks armor armor and Lyssa runes which are pretty kitten common. Lyssa runes aren’t even that good man, you get all boons for a short period and a condition cleanse, yeah but it’s on a 90s cooldown. You can get a full condition cleanse and a passive buff to endurance regen on a 36s cooldown with traited Signet of Stamina. The boons you’re getting? I run with four runes of sanctuary and two rune of water with a traited warhorn. Instead of 5s of protection every 90s I have at least 6s of protection every 30s, with the possibilty of more from converting vulnerability to a boon.

Lyssa runes and empowered spikes are gimmicky and and you can do better than that, think outside the box man. Or, I could be wrong and you have an interesting gear loadout. But you didn’t share that. Or your traits. Why not? What’s the point of this thread then? Hard to give feedback on your build when you’re not telling us anything about it and we have to guess.

Superior sigil of paralyzation must be on your sword and shield.

The paralyzation bonus does not stack.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil#Static_bonus_sigils

“Static bonuses do not stack with themselves when used on dual-wielded weapons. Two weapons, each with a Superior Sigil of Force, will yield only a +5% bonus to damage. "

You seem built to swap a lot, I’m thinking a Sigil of Battle or Sigil of Energy would be perfect for what you’re doing.

Long story short, they’re going to have to buff our traitlines before they can nerf us.

Given ANets history of what they’ve done to Engineers, I wouldn’t be so sure about this statement.

Call me an optimist then :P I am sincerily hoping that by now the ones working on fixing class skills have learned from at least some of their past mistakes.

Plus it’s not like it’s all that overpowered of a build. It heals a lot, but it is worthless in most dungeons and large-scale fights.

ANet’s Engineer Love Given to Rangers:

-Reduced healing of Troll Unguent by 50% and reduced it’s duration from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.
-Reduced the effect of Empathy in the Beastmaster trait line from +1 per trait point to .25 per trait point.
-Increased Spirit buffs from 6 seconds to 8 seconds.
-Reduced cooldown of Spirits from 60 seconds to 45 seconds.

After they patch these changes, you find that any trait even remotely related to Spirits doesn’t work at all. After these changes, the next State of the Game, the devs say they still think pets are too strong and will nerf them again soon.

Sounds legit, specially if you look at the Warrior’s patch notes lol.

If you mean warriors get lots of changes but no real improvements, then I agree.

It frustrates me as a GW1 warrior player that warriors are as bad as they are in PvP. Admittedly, they’re far better in WvW than in s/tPvP but still I feel lie I’m playing a severely kitten class compared to everyone else. We can deal out ridiculous DPS against targets that stay still, yeah, but you put any amount of control and we can’t do any damage and we absolutely wither under focus fire compared to everyone else. It’s not even our condition removal like a lot of warrior players whine, it’s the complete lack of damage mitigation and heals. Shield Stance and Endure Pain are nice, but 3s of block on 30s cooldown and 4s invuln on 90s cooldown are just delaying the inevitable when you have no way to restore any of the health you’ve lost.

Guardians and eles, admittedly with low health pools so they need it, just kitten out heals, protection, vigor and other damage mitigating or healing effects (blinds on guardians, water fields on eles, etc.) while warriors have healing skills that give lower HPS than everyone else and hardly any access to meaningful regen. We got lots of health, yeah, but when it’s gone it’s not coming back anytime soon.

I can beat other good players in 1v1 and small group engagements, but it feels too often that I have to be absolutely 100% on my game or I’m done compared to playing other classes in the mists. Sure you can steamroll bads with cookie cutter Bulls’s Charge or Bolas + frenzy + 100b but anyone with half a brain will handle you. Axe can’t stick to a target because you have no mobility, hammer is telegraphed so hard you’d swear it was designed by Samuel Morse, sword is worthless as an offensive weapon from lack of direct damage and/or condition diversity, etc. etc.

Thing is, we had these things we’d be monsters in zerg combat with all the CC and silly DPS, so fixing this is delicate and I do understand at least part of the reason its taking so long. Can we at the very least get DECENT grandmaster traits?

Anyway, offtopic I know, but just a warrior player’s frustration. Gotta vent it from time to time.

Every time I log into WvW it’s the same old thing. EBay is sitting in our BL and either we don’t have the people to push back and we can’t do anything, or we do have the people on, we take back all or most of our stuff and before we can start getting any meaningful upgrades done another wave EBay players zones in and takes all our paper towers. It’s just not fun.

This is silly arguing over who is more skilled seriously guys we already know it’s Archer because he says so the most on the forums and calls everyone else bad

T5 fighting over who’s fighting for second? Anvil and Borlis are so proud of you, you’re just like us at your age.

1. This is T6 unless we got promoted overnight.
2. We hope to “grow up” one day soon, as we know that being a lower tier means we are comprised of inferior-child-like players who have yet to blossom into adulthood that is the mickey mouse esque game of GW2.

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

It could be that noobs pile into higher tiers in the name of “eliteness”, and think the combination of queues and skill lag = being good.

Hey man I was just kidding, I meant T6 and when we were there Borlis and NSP constantly accused us of playing for 2nd. Not knocking or talking down at you guys just pointing out the same dynamic seems to be the same. That’s all. You’re lucky down in T6, T5 blows. EBay is too large and coordinated for this tier and it’s basically us and Borlis trading off second place each week while EBay can’t break out. There are no transfers piling in either, Anvil and Borlis are pretty much all the same people from back when we’ve always been.

Darkhaven used to beat us on reset and the few days after too man, they just didn’t have the coverage during the week. What tier you’re in has less to do with skill and more to do with coverage. I hardly think there’s a correlation, the lower tiers have the best small man squads in the game for example.

Yesterday we actually had to siege tower in ARBL to get some fights. Yu didn’t even one to get the tower, we just wanted you guys to come out and fight.

So that was you commanding in AR last night hey? When you had your group standing outside of our SE tower at one point not attacking we did figure out what you wanted. Unfortunately we couldn’t accommodate. After taking BP BL earlier in the evening most of our big guilds kind of retired for the evening.

When I logged in, pk was all sitting in our PvE channel doing dungeons. At that point in time we actually only had just over 10 people on your entire map, and our strongest presence while you were trying to goad us to fight north west of garrison was PvEers trying to speed through and do map completion. It picked up when you started re-capping stuff, but it was still more pug warfare than any organized force. I do wish we had more to draw on, it would have been a prime time for some really good GvG/ZvZ type action, we just didn’t have what it took to play at your level at that time.

Well, I was there grouped with Kardiamond but none of us had a tab up. We were the group that kept throwing rams at lake and pecking at the door to get some people to fight.

Poison in any capacity, even from a utility would make warrior conditions more viable. The damage is nice but it’s the heal reduction that is so good. If you were playing with the traits I suggested I’d drop 10 from tactics if you’re not using warhorn. Throw five in strength and grab restorative strength to rectify for loss of condition removal a bit and five in discipline for mobile strikes.

When you stick on a target there’s something to be said for the consistent bleed pressure a warrior can apply. It’s not as heavy as say a bleed thief but no one runs those anymore since there are over 9000 more effective ways to play thief. Anyway, with sword, the first minor trait in arms and a sigil of earth gives you up to 3 stacks of ~14s bleeding on two of the three autos. That’s something something that your enemy can’t ignore. But, with the number of ways pretty much all classes have to remove a condition the lack of poison really hurts. Warhorn offhand at least gives you weakness so with sigil or sigils of doom you can keep up five conditions, bleed, burn, poison, weakness and cripple.

AR + BP alliance is roughly on par with Ehmry pugs + Ehmry PvE commanders.

AR + BP alliance is no match for the MIGHT OF EHMRY.

BURN = tossed into the dumpster
BS = tossed into the dumpster
ALS = tossed into the dumpster
SoS = tossed into the dumpster with their ALS friends
BP and AR WAR = yawn, dumpster
WFD = wanted a GvG…we farmed them zerging with BURN on reset. WAYYY too early for you to man up. Keep running.
Saw this new AR guild out on Saturday doubleteaming us…Crit or something. Critical Failure. They died so fast. INTO THE DUMPSTER.
Every other guild and group just fairweathers so hard after we wipe them once or twice that I never get to learn their guild tag.

But thanks to all the bad guilds I just named…got over 1000 kills on Saturday and got downed a grand total of zero times. Bro, do you guys even WvW? It’s so rare that I die, I have to keep GW2Wiki’ing Warrior downed skills so I remember what button activates what skill…and what that skill does what.

Bottom line. There exists not a single guild or organized group on BP or AR that is in the same universe as our organized squads.

Operation Bads-to-Badges all day everyday.

Brolis Rock are simply just not Renaissance Winners like Sekz.

Hope you had fun bullying our pugs all weekend. It’s hilarious how AR was zerging our Bay and lost all 3 of their keeps in 15 minutes…and failed to get our Bay. Epic fail.

If this was true you wouldn’t have to stay up all night to get PPT. You are losing when faced with even numbers so you night cap.

It’s a valid strategy.

We don’t lose when it’s even numbers lol. Two servers double teaming one server is not even numbers.

If you’re this bad at logic, it’s safe to assume that you’re bad at life in addition to being bad at the game. DEFINITELY not a Renaissance Winner like me. More like an ape banging two rocks together.

We clown every one of your guilds. Prison style.

Wake me up when you’re winning not by bullying our PUGs, baddie.

You should think before you post.

Oh, I can play this game too!

Making a general statement to talk about something in general is actually a great way to make a point if it is accurate.

Ain’t no party like a bullkitten party, ‘cause a bullkitten party don’t stop.

Also, should be fixed with: “Making a general statement to talk about something in general [is actually a terrible way to make a point as anyone who has any degree of social engagement capability will be able to refute said general statement based on the fact that it is unspecific and therefore open to singular point debates].”

Stop trying to forum-fight me based on conjecture, just accept that some AR people whom you are referring to as “unfortunate Anvil Rockers”:

  1. Don’t give a kitten about points.
  2. Look for skirmish and skilled fights and aren’t interested in unskilled winning through 11212211122111111 keys.
  3. Because of 1 & 2, look down on said “alliance” as it is a way for the poorly-skilled to try and band up to (poorly) fight a largely more-skilled opponent.
  4. Wish the “alliance” would not exist and instead wish that the larger guilds heavily involved in WvW would learn their classes better and mechanics associated with them (or if they already know, teach their guildmates).

Amen

Interesting times for our guild, our server and this match-up. As a guild philosophy and charter WAR is not interested in alliances with other servers or even other guilds on our own, but we sometimes observe a truce of convenience like yesterday in Ehmry Bay’s home map.

We are not interested in this amazingly stupid new perspective that WvW should be an sPVP playground. Do that where my train can find you and we are going to break it down.

Get serious, have fun, but get serious. Some of the superior attitudes that I hear in game and read in this forum are nauseating. You are not all that… Now come get some.

I understand the whole thing with not working with the other server, but really not working with your own Guilds? I have to be reading that wrong. That only hurts your server as whole and a pretty kittenty attitude to have considering you just commented on others.

edit:
On the other side of the coin, depending on your ability, not working with the rest of the server might be a plus for them. Guess someone from AR would have to comment on that.

The guy runs Karma/XP trains on reset night. That’s about all you really need to know.

Pfft… Your perception is clouded by your lack of imagination.

Warrior bleeds make for a great covering condition for other conditions like cripple and immob. We just can’t stack them quickly enough, often enough to make them a primary source of damage.

With a Sigil of Earth and Pin Down to lay down a base you can get some serious stacks going if you stick on a target. With Rabid Amulet/Jewel, 30 Arms and blademaster sword’s crit chance is really high. Condition warrior is fun in hot joins and it actually performs well against builds that give direct damage based ones some trouble. I run 5/30/0/20/15 (the 5 in strength so you can clear blinds with a dodge) sword/traited warhorn + longbow with sigil of doom on the horn and sometimes in place of earth on the bow, 2 centaurs runes, 2 lyssa, and 2 afflicted and you can actually maintain poison on a target while stacking bleeds and applying burns. It’s pretty nice actually. Not the best build but it melts bads in hotjoins and is a nice change of pace.

@ekleenex

Sekz in NSP : A nice guild full of skillful and respectful players than i used to run & joke around with them all the time
Sekz in Ebay : full nerds and virgins & trash talkers & forum warriors who cant sleep in their beds until they tell mommy how good they are in guild wars 2 and how WFD is bad.

Ebay ruined Sekz, people like you ruined the best guild in Ebay, please leave . lol

The [rekz] dudes are friendly if you actually talk to them in game. The trash talking they do should be a motivation instead of something to whine about. If you get handled, admit it and try and figure out why.

A group of 10 or so of us [Crit] guys got into a fight outside Ehmry’s bay that was really pretty kitten tough, Ebay had people coming out of bay and we fought them outnumbered and were killing them but they were able to waypoint right back into bay. There were a bunch of [Rekz] dudes in the fight, and after a few waves of Ebay we finally got whittled down. So what does [Rekz] do? Wait for us outside the spawn and ask for some 4v4 and 5v5 and the like. We had some friendly fights (that made it clear we need to work on building our 5 man groups and working on those tactics) and even ran CoF with one of them.

They’re just having fun like we’re all trying to. Stop taking this game so seriously and unrustle those jimmies. I’m willing to bet [Rekz] ([Sekz] then) would have poked fun at EBay and AR guilds the same way they do now if they were the size they are now when they were on NSP.

And don’t pretend you don’t talk trash about the people you wipe in teamspeak. It’s a part of anything competitive don’t be such babies about it.

Okay, that fight outside Bay on Ehmry between [Crit] and all those Ehmry was pretty kittening great

Your warrior is extremely mobile and that irk’s me a Warrior being more mobile than my thief makes me think “Hm…I need a bigger shortbow”

I had him at 5% health for ages but he would always spin out of range when I thought I had him down

You were the thief chasing me around? Maaan you were really sticking to me, you weren’t downing me but I was effectively out of the fight a lot since I was forced to kite you all that time.

And Zara, the last time we went 7 games with a Canadian team to open the playoffs we did pretty well

Pic attatched: It’s the Shaboozey capitalist fat cats that murdered #occupypangaloss. It was kind of like murdering a beautiful, golden baby Christ with “adult” “toys.” It was wrong. Perverted. And it was probably the kind of thing people like Shaboozey members would get off on.

You need more of these. Lots of players means lots of CC effects.

As a necro this suggestion makes me laugh. These are things not readily available.

That’s cool. But it doesn’t change that when you’re getting CC’d to the point you’re making a thread you should probably learn the mechanics to counter it.

Been roaming way more and having a blast. Running conditions on warrior has been surprisingly effective. I guess in small settings the speed warriors can apply bleeds outpaces cleanses often. Good use of my gold anyway, keep up the good fights.

I’ll bet you 20g that the Leafs are going to win game 5.

I have never been more sure of how a game was going to come out but I’m broke as a joke. How’s 50 silver sound? Where I’m at, I’m betting the farm.
