Guild Wars 2

Zodin I can go on Youtube right now and copy and paste 10 videos of people running berserker GS M/S in PVP and WvW. Obino didn’t invent it, he didnt create the meta. Threads over. Obino jumped on the bandwagon and didn’t make it popular becasue it was already popular. Search youtube and the forum Everyone already running it before him. It’s not just me it is everyone else before Obino.
Default response to every post you make here forth.
/thread

Not every warrior build takes the same traits in Berserker, Defense or Discipline Trait line. The trait lines are mandatory but the traits in those lines are certainly not mandatory especially in berserker traitline. We can argue about that all day especially traits like dead or alive that are situational and most the time are useless.

We can also Argue that Pack runes are certainly not Meta in every comp where you get fury from other sources already from a team member when Strength runes become automatically better especially if other team mates are already running pack runes. You can argue about sigils such as AIR when force is obviously better as it buffs every hit instead of 1 every 3 seconds and has been nerfed atleast twice that i know of.

You can’t have it both ways. You cant say somthing naturally becomes meta so no one can take credit for it, but then take credit for it. Then take credit for it. If somthing is meta becasue its the best and most optimal thing to do. Obino didn’t invent the meta, it just is meta. And I ran it before him its a fact. Obino was very very late to jump on the bandwagon its proven.

I never argued that I created the build 1st, I argued that it had already been done which is true. So pls get off your high horse. You can’t discredit me for running somthing before anyone else on this forum or in PVP way before they ever thought of it. What I was doing was way ahead of its time and I have since been running it in PVP and WvW ever sense then.

Facts are facts opinions are just that you have yours I respectfully disagree becasue thats all it is.

No copyright court would ever side with you. Build is too close. Youre salty and youre wrong. There is proof otherwise to your claims of who ran it 1st. you failed. get over it.

Time for you to go bye bye zodin
“I have 3 ascended sets for my warr: Zerker-strength marauder-strength, marauder-pack. I mainly use maruader-pack for gunflame, I hate being in fight with only the base 100% movement speed.
If u get 1 set, 100% go strength for this build.”

Listen Zodin like I said I have very good memory about what happens in reality of history. People like you don’t like that and like to just make things up.

When I post my build on the season 2 rank tracker was about same time that post comes from.

Everything I say is reality. You don’t like it too bad for you.

He ran Mara in WvW and posted many times on this forum linking Youtube videos where he posted builds. He was running Mara in a lot of those builds and ran GS A/S a lot and never mace. Most of us were already running mace.

Post or Pre patch berserker has always been better.
Gunflame>killshot
Arc Devider>Arcing slice
Skullgrider>Skullcrack
New Condi war>base Condi war
Eternal Champion/RR>base warrior
Headbutt>any other base warrior elite
Etc etc etc
Base war was never better than Berserker spec period before and after the adrenal health buff.

3/4 of my sigils are the same as the metabattle build I am running Hydro/para/air the only sigil that is not the same is the fire sigil I had.

Listen up it’s ok if you want to be a fan boy, I understand.

The only person that can take credit for the build is me cuz I posted it here season 2 But in reality there are about 100 other warriors that used this build before even obino posted it.

Doesn’t have signet of might but obviously I would switch to that if I looked at the match up and saw i needed it. Running signet of might isn’t always viable if your opponents don’t have a lot of blocks. so bow down to your overloard.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Season-2-rank-tracker/6009032

By that logic anyone can claim the build as his coz they sometime had the same weapon set, so, pretty much everyone. I guess every meta was created by some random chinese guy who ran something similar when lvling up and is completely irrelevant lol. Your build isn’t even the same, the only thing that is the same is what u can’t ever change on warrior, traits, heal, stances and elite. Everything else is different. Jk, you have the same weapon set, now you can take credit for something that isn’t yours, just like every warrior that has ever had gs mace shield equipped. Plz. Guess I accidentally made some meta when HoT launched and checked stuff out on golems, didn’t know I was a master theorycrafter.

It was made, introduced and used in competetive by Obindo. It’s his build. Get over it.
Fyi, he never posted it.

I have the same weapon set, I have the same traits, I have the same utilities except 1, same heal, same elite. I have 3/4 of the same sigils. Maybe not exactly as he has them but yea. It’s the same build basically. I am using a Mara amulet, isnt that what Obino runs in WvW mara armor. K I made it sorry to say NA>EU all of the way.

Actually back then Obino was still arguing on the forum that Base warrior was superior to berserker. He did this for several months. Obino was still running base war back then and telling us we were noobs for thinking Berserker spec was good.

It wasn’t until around S4-5 that obino finally came to the conclusion that base war wasn’t that great anymore. What else can I say to you that I have one of the oldest accounts on the forum here and Have been active since Launch. I can’t say that for most other people. Also I have an excellent memory.

Meta battle isn’t Meta. Most builds are always either non optimal or old. That build has always been good. I think its not on meta battle before becasue of 1st sentence. Thats why you shouldn’t trust meata battle.

Just going to end the thread here. Everyone has the right to play however they want. You absolutely cannot come in here and say I have the right to do whatever I want and other people have to play with me. The commander, has every right to not want to include people for not joining team speak, or playing the builds they want because its his/her raid. If you don’t like that go make your own raid or go do your own thing which is what you are doing anyways by not being a team player. You can’t have it both ways.
I hate all of the pugs like this.

I have never seen 65% of wvw players in desert BL it is more like 5% guys.

I don’t know how accurate wvwintel is. But if it’s accurate you a pretty wrong.

Kills are much lower than on alpine borderlands, but far away form 5%. It’s more like 50%.

Personally I like the desert borderlands.

(Screen shows the current matchup between Kodash, Baruch Bay and Augury Rock)

I think that its less than 50%, so less than a simple majority. Thus I am right and other people are wrong.

The poll was open to anyone to vote including players who don’t play world vs world. They gave players who hardly have experience in WvW as much say as players who played it 6+ hours a day for 4 years.

I am glad that some people who play it got their way, but the rest of the players who voted for it never cared or were never part of the wvw comuunity where are they now?

There should of been a poll that asked how much desert BL killed the game I am sure that would go over 65%.
The vote was way Less than 75% it was 65%

I have never seen 65% of wvw players in desert BL it is more like 5% guys.

Djamonja.6453:

You’re forgetting the OCX/SEA guilds which is what Mag had been lacking and is the reason they were able to push up and be successful in tier 1.

Nope SEA is not the same as OCX. Mag never paid any SEA guilds to come to mag. Also Mag has never had SEA coverage except for the couple times ND/MGR came to Mag on their own free will for fights. The 2 OCX guilds that transferred to Mag transferred for fights obviously there are other OCX players to fight in T1.

Hesacon.8735:

Didn’t mag pay for a lot of guilds to move to mag? It seems like those guilds feel they’ve met their commitment and just want to move on. T1 is glicko locked, and I know personally I hate the same fight every week for months.

Being on SoS, when we were glicko locked to SBI and mag for months I started playing other game modes out of fatigue. When you know your opponent’s every trick, the game mode loses its charm.

Mag only helped transfer 1 PPT guild that was DOC, any other guild that mag help with transfers came to the server exclusively for fights. Several guilds did leave the server for reasons basically that they were not competitive in 20-25 or really competitive enough for T1 they were casual ppt guilds and they went to SBI.

This happened a couple months ago it had zero impact on the server.

True story or opinions, want an opinion read every other post, want a true story continue reading.

All Maguuma wanted were fights, with every tier Maguuma climbed to fights were good for awhile. The lower tiers offered good roaming for smaller groups and players but offered little in terms of 15s-20s.

The only guilds that I can remember giving great fights on Maguumas climb to T1 were guilds like WOE and TDS besides that most of the oppnents were just zerg trash at the time. The SBI Bannok Map Q blobs of EBG were fun to fight for sure but after Bannok quit that was that.

I am not going to call out every other guild group that we came across but I am just going to say that they were not competitive at that time.

We tried a lot of different things to try and bring fights to us. At one time we sponsored a GVG revival in T3 Many 15-20 Man guilds came down but there was a problem there was no TIER stability and without a solid 3rd server it didn’t work very well. SHortly later HoT was released and that was that. ANET blew it.

We said ok lets just go To T2 so we came up to T2 for fights but there was a problem. Due to Game Manipulation by Malevolent and CO by bandwagon 2 servers it created a vacuum void of competition at T2 level. There wasn’t a strong 3rd server here again. Most of our fights were from FA at the time who was not in really good condition as a server. I will just leave it at that to try and be nice becasue there is a lot of other things I could say.

So now we are at the point of just saying hey the game is Dead there is no fights and we decided we will go to T1 with no plans at all to stay there. We didnt care about beating BG in PPT we never cared about being 1st. We thought hey there is probably a few months to a year left in the game lets just go up and get some fights whatever happens happens.

Fast forward we are in T1 BG isn’t providing us fights instead they go to EOTM and the only meaning full players to fight most of the time are BGs smaller guilds that Havok and PPT. I am not going to be critical of BGs guilds But I will just say we as a server do not feel as if they provided good competition to us, we won most engagements, and after we would wipe them a few times they would start dodging fights, hoping maps or go to EOTM.

Then Came the Fiasco of ANET opening BG server multiple times agisnt all advice of the player base. BG was gaming the system and pretending to have no coverage by coordinating tanking the server and posting threads on the forum begging anet to open the server.

This was a extremely bad move on ANET parts becasue this happen a lot of blayers bandwagon onto Maguuma to counter balance this mistake.

Maguuma never had to try to stay in T1 our server just defended our BL and our 3rd in EBG, Rarely did anyone from Maguuma go to other BLs and PPT. If you hear that we were PPTing in T1 it flat out just didnt happen.

While all this was going on TC and JQ server both basically died players everyday told anet to do something about this and ANET ignored it. So now Mag is stuck in T1 with 1 server that is dead and another server that is just boring and provides no meaningful action and just PPTs 24/7 the third dead server.

So Mag is tired of this it’s the end of the story here folks.

Thats bcuz SoS and SBI are the newest bandwagon servers.

I hope AN listens.

Many people warned against 5,4,3 it’s a mess right now. TC has imploded and so has JQ even with server links they can’t compete vs the Mighty Black Gate and Maguuma. Malevolent and many TC and JQ people have told you. I am sorry anet but its the truth. Your idea while it was done for what you believed for good reasons was bad.

Also Adjust SoS and FA Glicko and give them more points becasue both of these servers can easily beat JQ and TC. Stop rolling SoS into T3 it makes zero sense at all.

Many people asked for a long time to just turn banners into kits, then give the banners F1-F5 ability, and the warrior can wear them on their backs. Like a engineer hobo sack.
Chances are it will never happen except for an expansion.

It’s demoralizing to me that ANET never responds to anything that is smart, or intelligent. They only respond to cry posts that say things like please open black gate or this pve content is too hard becasue I keyboard turn or insert excuse here.

I just wanted to Add something valuable to the thread.

ANET you guys don’t know anything about TC. TC was a RP, PVE casual.

The server has been bandwagoned on 3 major times and resulted in the same thing as now. TC will never be a strong server. Stop making TC be in T1 no one wants to play against them and they don’t want to be there.

more bad builds inc

Maguuma isn’t that stacked anymore, lots of guilds and players have left the server.

There are basically 5 guilds that actually kill stuff left on Mag, KEK, RISE, VR, and PA, KnF out of those 5 guilds, 3 are NA. The 3 NA guilds all run less than 3 days a week and as far as I know none of them run on weekends and only 1 of them runs on reset. VR is the only one that runs open raid becasue they lack the players. guilds like RISE and KEK all run closed raids. Also none of these guilds PPT.

There are a couple other guilds like SoX and CTH these are basically casual PPT guilds and neither of them run every day or weekends as far as I know. Some other guilds Like KAZO are on the server but they rarely raid. They only contribute pugs to zergs most of the time. I’ve seen their driver tag up maybe once a week.

Maguuma has no SEA guilds or commanders or SEA coverage. I haven’t seen star commanders Like Bloodie tag up in months and the only commanders I see for a long time are text manders that rekt BG and TC while typing in chat. No one on Mag is using Team speak during those times and there is zero coordination yet somehow TC and BG lose those fights.

You hear stories about how mag has all of these great pugs, there are a lot but due to a lot of pugs bandwagon on to the server the majority of maguuma pugs now are trash just like every other server.

ALL BG does is go to EOTM and Silverwates when they are not winning to make it look like Mag is so stacked. And to Trick anet into thinking BG needs help. BG did this to get server links, and to get anet to open the server. They also did this to get ANET to change the scoring to 5,4,3 becasue BG won’t play the game unless they are winning by a lot and 3,2,1 made the scores look to low for them.

I don’t have an issue with conditions doing damage. I have issue with how they are implemented in this game. They seem fine in PVE. In 1v1 they seem fine for the most part and overturned in others. In Group PVP and WvW they are totally broken.

Every class has useless traits, becasue Anet wanted the game to appear like there was build diversity.

^above is not true. Portals can be precast before a difficult jump so if you fall you can portal back instead of having to redo the jumping puzzle.

Perfect example of why to be careful who you take advice from.

It’s hilarious that this is actually a thing. Assura or human Female Mesmer. As for build you don’t need a build to do jumping puzzles but I would imagine, Rune of the Snowfall and falling damage traits to prevent deaths from falling.

I have this issue, on all characters in Eternal Battlegrounds on Maguuma Server. I do not Have this issue on any other WvW or PVE Map.

Fix Pls

I kinda Disagree. If you really want dmg mitigation go for dmg mitigation food 10% or scrapper runes or something. It way more than a little toughness.

If you did food+scrapper runes thats 17% dmg reduction Which is like 450 Toghness

redcomnym comes in and says he is worried about dying to mobs in PVE and that makes knights good. k will just leave it there.

Listen folks if you are like this guy than maybe you need it. But knights is for noobs and there is nothing wrong with that. When you get gud at the game you will see that, dodging, positioning, active defense skills, and even traits if it is that bad is better than knights gear.

Edit,
To be fair there was a time when Knights gear was actually good, this was 2012 and 2013 and early 2014. This is before 4 stat combo gear came out, this was also before the ferocity nerf. Before the ferocity nerf it was just crit damage percent.

A ruby Orb was 20 power, 14 precision, 3% Crit(63 ferocity) and you would do like 6 knights armor pieces and 6 ruby orbs in there and you would have this tanky zerker like build.

Now Knights is trash I am sorry Marauder is way better if you need the extra defense.

I beat Druids using 2 differn’t builds.

1. Build is a trailblazer/Balth with viper weapon. Longbow with burning arrows sword shield or mace shield. Tactics/Def/Berserker

2. Build is a Mara/zerk/Defender. Rifle Mace/shield
Def/Dis/Berserker

3. Build is Mara/zerk/Dura with sigil of concentration and mussels gnashblade

Those are the only builds I have been successful with beating highly skilled druids with.

The condi build works really good vs Mesmer and Thiefs also,

Most of the builds you find on here and meta battle are trash compared to mine.

The answer is one that you don’t want to hear so I am sure whatever I say will be ignored.

Option 1
Run a condi build yourself with longbow and CI.

Option 2
Run a power build that stacks boon duration and hope that you can keep good resistance rotations and land bursts with CI.

Option 3
Run longbow and CI on a power build in adition to suggestions in Option 2

Option 4
Use a rifle

Option 5
try using cleansing sigils and generocity

Option 6
Get better at the game by adapting, instead of being determine to use the build that you use and wondering why it doesn’t work.

Knights is a good starter armor for learning to play, but it doesn’t offer more survabilty than something like mara with dura runes. Its really not so great in the current meta, where the toughness does nothing for you vs condis and becasue of power creep u still get bursted down pretty quick. Its a waste of time.

anets favorite servers are BG and YB. BG is like anets server, and yb is like the server that they like to PPT on.

Except Queen Jenna isn’t real, its Anise, who also is Livia.

What if Lazurus is not really Lazurus but its Zinn. If it is an imposter Zinn is the only person who could pull it off.

same, error message vendor action incomplete.

unable to find any anet mention about this on the forum.

Arguing that Driuds, mesmers, rangers and thiefs have builds that are beneficial to the zerg doesn’t change the fact that 99.9% of them don’t run those builds and don’t have the gear to run them either. Thats why they aren’t wanted.

The reason is these classes don’t run the builds, that you guys said they can.

warrior commander is kinda bad, if u don’t have support to clear your condis, you wont die from them but you can become an epi target that every around you will die.

Maguuma built its army from BG drops. our server has more fully ascended geared players and owners of precursors than any other server ty to BG.

Try to make the exotic wanderer, and get the platinum dabloons.

Your resistance lasts forever becasue of insane boon duration.
Zerker stance = 25 seconds resistance. Healing signet almost 10 secs.

When you block it Heals for like 4k and gives you regen.

When you swap weapons you get swiftness and half your endurance back.

I think the balance stance is good becasue the boon duration is so long your getting overlapping stacks and swiftness aswell.

ps: Perma swiftness/near perma resistance. Insane HP, cheesy runes that heal you like crazy.

If you die on this build you are a bad player…

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAseRnMdAVhgdhAmhAElilsA7dzWaXtIDuCQAQpGk6iBA-TFyFABn/EAIXfQ37PQjyPAUC288HEOFA0r+DpAMRZE-w

I almost for got to add that, you should be able to evade spam on this build too.

Popping a stance gives 2 10 seconds of vigor. And its double energy.

Example. Dodge —-> Dodge, —-> Swap – Energy—->Dodge——> pop stance (vigor) —--> Shield block or GS 3——-> swap—— dodge —--swap and so forth.

You can also just run away on this build with perma swiftness and sword gs.

I’ll give u a build, I am the greatest btw. Maybe not best warrior but one of the smartest.

You said that you just want “Troll Build” “Regen” “Healing” We can assume that is what the build should be.

PvP Loot Boxes, are a special kind of container awarded by PvP Reward Tracks. In some tracks they are called “cache” instead “loot box”.

Currently, they’re among the few containers in the game affected by Magic Find.
——————————-
WvW reward tracks give the same boxes.

So Magic find is the most optimal

akaik Flaming flurry is 1 tick of burn per fire ball. If you have 100% burning duration it is 2 ticks. per ball. Anything less than 100 it is just 1 tick.

In WvW if anyone is running -20% condi its going to reduce it to 1 tick even if u have 100%.

The issue with the skill is the base duration is too low only 1 second per ball of fire and burning dmg is 1 tick per second,

Its easy to test. Hit the golem with it and look at the damage log. you will either have 8 ticks of fire > below 100 or 16 ticks

No. I interpreted lowering the threshold to be at YBs current pop cap for all servers full or empty. End result is over stacked-full and understacked-full. = not similar at all.

Low pops are affected as well as they can never stack higher than YB. If they get locked at YB level then how do you decide what “Full” Servers get links or not.

Illustration of State of the Game.

Warriors don’t need marauder. I do like mara weapons though. Full Mara is like what full soldier used to be Training Wheels for new players.

Skull Grinder has always been strong on Power builds welcome to 2 years ago or however its been.

Because WvW isn’t Vanilla anymore. Thats why its not balanced. Siege has been power creeped since launch. Conditions have been power creeped everything now is way stronger than it was at launch becasue of ANETs PVE balance.

PVE balance has ruined WvW,

Why even post on the Forum and Reply^ They are not listening to any of us.

Anet has the ability to implement global effect buffs that are applied automatically to all players who enter a zone, a game mode etc. Like Call of the Mists and Outnumbered buff.

My Idea is Have a global buff that is applied only to players who enter WvW on all servers and all Borderlands that can be used to adjust values such as direct damage taken or given, Condition Dammage Take or given. Siege Damage Taken or given.

With a Buff like this The Game mode can be balanced by tweaking the Values of the Buff so that ANET does not have to do skill splits, or fix any code in the game. Since this only effects WvW players it has no effect on PVP or PVE.

Example
Buff is Called “Mist Warrior”
It can have visual and Hidden Values.
It might say
-20% Seige Damage taken This would be like a band aid without having to adjust siege or Masterys.

Anet could also Adjust Condition Stacks this way.
The reason Conditions are OP now is becasue they Have no Cap on how many stacks can be applied now.
So the Buff could put a hard cap on how many stacks of a Condition that could be applied to players in WvW Like a Food of some type.

This should be done in a way that it doesn’t effect individuals but only effects zergs. Like a Zerg has no limit to how much stacks it can apply becasue the source is coming from so many players. So it would be similar to how ANET adjusted stab to say you can only be CCed so much in a time frame.

Lets be honest with yourself ANET is never going to balance WvW or Balance Professions becasue WVW is PVE Skills, Gear, Traits.
