Guild Wars 2

It’s mindless that it stuns you too. There is zero point for it to do this when no other profession is penalized like this.

Warrior isn’t based around fast hand though. At least thats what ANET thinks and it’s why it isn’t base line.

I don’t like either one and ya I tried something similar. Came to the conclusion same as everyone else it seems. It’s not going to work.

Somone wants to try it for the sake of trying it fine. It’s weaker than the normal build in so many ways, more than you listed.
No Stun, or sword immob when in zerk mode. No warhorn condi clears, No condi clears via shouts. These are the only saving grace warriors have in zergs without them you are useless as a frontliner. Warrior can go dammage midline or backline and still be somwhat usefull but this build is weaker than that also.
Right now the only place the spec is decent is killshot backliner.

Problem isn’t minstrels the problem is the power creep. I hope ANET realize they over buffed everyone but warriors and made a big mistake. I don’t mind them deleting the amulet but I also think they need to delete all the others and nerf everyone and balance the game.

ANET employees think warrior is so easy to play against other professions that have every advantage to counter it’s simplistic design. Then when players who play other professions get beat by warriors ANET blames warriors instead of telling then they need to learn how to play because that would be rude.

Map too big for there to be 3 of them. Layout of the map encourages groups to avoid fights by taking alternate routs to hit objectives. Too bad If his map was just smaller and the keeps and towers were not so large it wouldn’t be so bad.

They can revert hammer F1 burst from Immobilize back to a stun for all I care. A 1 sec immobilize is useless especially for a burst skill. However a 2 sec immobilize while still weaker than a stun can be boosted with condition duration makeing it a 4 sec immobilize theoretically with 100% condi duration. That seems fair and a easy change.

you do realize that people complain about the viability of berserker elite in PVP that has nothing to do with PVE DPS.

^Currently the trait doesn’t proc burning at all. So it doesn’t proc even more burning. The trait currently only adds 20% duration so that would be no change.

Ya a 5 sec Cool down reduction would be fine though I don’t feel as if Berserk Mode lasts long enough in situations.

I tried it tonight. It is trash.

never heard of it,

The best warrior build is the one that works the best for the situation.

That works best on average in all normal situations*

Just Zerker then. Swap weps and traits per content.

With sigil of generosity you have to hit them to give the condi back and if you are blinded you can hit anything. Use hydromancy to clear the blind on swap because it always hits the ground.

Best foods for warrior.
Power
Omnom pie. Life steal.
Lemongrass Soup -40 Condi
Mango Pie Regen
Butternut Squash Dammage

Condi
Cactus Fruit Salad Condi duration + life steal
Pizza or Koi Cakes

The only thing you can do is use Hydromancy sigil to clear the blind on swap and also take brawlers recovery.

My advice is Power is equal to or greater than crit damage. Power boosts your base damage and your crit damage. While Crit dammage only boosts your crits and thats only when you crit.

So don’t think that maxing crit chance and crit dammage is the way to go with Runes and weapon sigils. Think Maxing power.

The best warrior build is the one that works the best for the situation.

Nothing wrong with tanky if you have a team that can carry you.

With Berserker and axes. Is it worth it?

Sinister is best in PVE on Berserker specialization. In PVP hybrid builds will be sick.

Rune Flame Legion.

It’s not bad considering it doesn’t root you. And you can move while channeling it. It’s certainly a different play-style. Than classic immobile then burst. This playstyle you don’t need the immob as much bcuz its ranged.

IDK gaurd can do like 10 stacks of burning and its the only condi they can apply other than blind. Well you wouldn’t want to leave the burning on there and brawlers recovery clears blind baseline + 1 condi. I always think DOE is good but its not a game changer like brawlers recovery is a game changer. Without brawlers recov u need hydromancy to clear blinds or ur hammer wont work.

Its not that bad its just doesn’t have the burst dammage potential as rifle. In the current meta its sort of kill or be killed. Its better than the rifle auto.

U can buy zerker gear with karma from temple of grenth in curesed shore as well. You can also gets some rares and run COF dungeon till you got enough tokens.

Anything I have to say in this thread would get me banned. Here is nice way of putting it. Cut NIKE some slack. Also all of you Flavor of the month players please leave. Lastly Don’t compare pugs groups to pro vet groups. If you want a leet group go make one.

I think Hoelbrak and melandru is old meta at this point Diablo. With mobile stikes baseline with warrior sprint. I don’t see any point to have them. I know you like Destrution of Empowered but removing 10 stacks of bleed on swap or that poison is better than leaving it up to runes and food to negative condi duration to mitigate.

Hoelbrak and Melandu maybe still good in SPVP but in WVW where u factor in food and Givers weapons. Any condi build will eat right trough Hoelbrak and lemon gras and negate any benefits from it. At that point its intended use becomes useless.

I say go with Strength or Pack runes and for real and just use brawlers recov and warrior sprint. Pick Cleansing Ire if thats not enough.

You could still use the lemongrass if you wanted. But Omnon pie is better as it heals you when u crit. Steals 325 HP from oponent. 1s ICD. This build has high crit so it synergizes well with it.

I have changed this build a bit after trying it. Also I duel Diablo a few times. This here is where I feel the build is optimal. Swap last stand for CI accordingly depending and traited endure pain for armored attack as well. Its situational.

I think you are pretty good Diablo. Butcher do have a point though and its not to downplay how well you play. I recognize some of those Mag guilds and some others I have never seen before they are definably not some of the better Mag players.

post a video of you not being carried by a thief.

NIKE is right its not as bad as you think. Condi warrior good for soloing, not that great in groups. However due to the condi stack changes it isn’t as bad as you think. Before the patch the gap between condi warrior and power warrior on boss solo was very small. Some people said condi warrior could solo Lupi faster.

Compared to game launch our DPS is a little weaker but our sustain is much much higher. So its a buff in those regards.

Compared to other classes. Other classes have been power creeped since launch so much by ANET that they are broken now and ANET doesn’t know how to fix them.

Warriors were ANETs scape goats where all noobs did was whine oh I got bulls charged and 100b for like 2 years that ANET listen to them finally and had nerfed warriors into the ground. And buffed the hell out of all the classes that the crybabys played.

Now those whiners got what they finally wanted they can 1 shot everything while warrior right now is pretty balanced in comparison. A couple things like rampage could be toned down. But all in all it seems good to me.

There is no reason not to go zerk on a warrior. Unless you are condi, ARMS is a waste. You can argue that you are going soldiers and valk but who are you kidding. Soldiers is training wheels and VALK is totally pointless when u have high base HP. Get good.

Mesmer has stun breaks And high in combat mobility so not exactly.

except your party needs a warrior to help clear condis and since you are not doing that I don’t understand whos going to clear them for you. That is your job.

you realize you break immobilize on mov skill. so sword leap, shiled bash and hammer stun all break immobilze. And if you take brawlers recovery you remove 1 condi on swap and 2 if one of those is blind. What happens when u are blinded and try to land a hammer stun……Nothing. Its fail. swap out the signet of fury for bulls charge since its useless and there u have another skill that breaks immob.

How do you consider full PTV as doing dammage if thats what the intention is here. I mean you are running what we call a wet noodle spec there is no reason to even take DOE. You do no dammage as it is.

sorry for tripple post ARMS is a totally useless traitline its not worth going in for a sword trait when the sword skills are on very low cool downs anyways.

without any kinda condi clears outside of cleansing ire, I don’t see not taking cleanse on swap viable at all. aka brawlers recovery.

+ you are using new mobile srikes and you don’t need dogged march why not use shild passive. If you are using melandru and food your already sort of getting the same effect as dugged march anyways.

What ever works for you. I wouldn’t use it. Its not very assaultish so it fails at its purpose. Basically its a selfish build that doesn’t do good damage and lacks sustain. Sorry its the truth. Also signet of fury isn’t needed at all + its a terrible choice.

Warrior

15 char

ARMS seems good in PVE try it.

Wound be better for anet to simply tone down blind. That being said blind doesn’t really effect other classes as much as warrior. So I don’t see any reason for it to be as strong as it is. Literally any class that can spam AOEs blind does nothing to.

Your other option would be to trait brawlers recovery because it clears blind on baseline. or use hydromancy.

The games always been like that though. I don’t know what to tell you. Same can be said about 100b GL trying to land that on someone with escapes or even remotely competent. I mean if somone doesn’t find it tanky enough switch to solders. But from my testing it doesn’t matter what you use damage is too high right now you melt with anything.

You dont melt because of weakness. Weakness is the counter to the current meta, BTW everyone else melts too. Without having some sort of ranged option you will be 50% less effective. And rifle is for sure not better than LB.

Longbow still provides needed utility and aoe pressure.
you dont need cleansing ire anymore.
At 26.5k HP 28.6HP with great fortitude there is plenty of HP.
Heitened focous doesn’t reduce the CD of hammer skills which effects your control.
