Guild Wars 2

See Pictures for details. On how to deal with Menders.

Make sure that you rush over and kill mendors soon as they spawn. They spawn every 2 minutes. You want to do this because they can aggro other players then separate into the boss fight. In a boss fight they can spawn up to 5-6 times since you have like what 12 minutes to kill the boss.

I luff how this looks.

Rofl , vitality counters condition damage? I bet you are one of those cleric or PvT shout warriors who think they are removing condis . You only need cleansing ire and zerker stance to counter any condi spam build . If you’re in wvw then add food. Vitality is the biggest waste on a warrior . We have the highest hp with necros which is already an advantage over other classes , you don’t need more hp. We only need to survive huge damage spikes . With ~2800 armor is enough to get that 33% dmg reduction the rest full dmg .

So a sioldier rune healing shout warrior using only FGJ and SIO will cleanse 3 condis on 5 tragets (that’s 15 cleanses) every 20 seconds plus whatever you cleanse on yourself with cleansing Ir if your are running the Hammer train x-x-30-30-x PVT meta build. You also get 1750 healing for each shout. That’s 3500 healing on 5 targets for a grand total of 17500 healing every 20 seconds. It’s not something to laugh at.

Zerker stance and cleansing Ire are great for solo or small 5 man group play where doing more damage fast is better and spec that way but when you start getting into fights with groups of 15+ you need to support each other. That’s why pretty much all serious WvW guilds require most of their hammer warriors to run PVT healing shouts with only a few higher DPS builds. The warriors main job in organized groups is not damage, it’s CC.

Heres the problem with that logic. Weve all heard it a thousand times this same argument and this is why its wrong. Other players don’t need warriors to cleanse their conditions. Most other professions have better way to clear thier own conditions than warriors. With the exception of rangers, thiefs and mesmers. 1 of which is almost not welcome in the zerg, thiefs should be no where near the frontiline and mesmers…we always seem to be looking for them but can never find that many to give us veils.

Guardians are better at playing the way you described at shouting to remove conditions. When everyone in your zerg runs good builds warriors are not needed to do anything except DPS and CC that is it. Why should warriors have to babysit bad players with bad builds. If anything warriors should be being babysay by gurdians and elementalists who are much more geared towards being supportive with thier meta builds.

Problem is there are so many bads in this game. Like the marionette fight it was theoretically possible for one bad player to fail the event for everybody. I know that sounds ludicrous but it was possible for that scenario to play out and I saw it a couple times.

Best build for PVT armor. Is use 1 or more than one of these traits. Unsuspecting foe, deep strike, or heightened focus. You may also need sigil of accuracy, Maintenance oil or Sigil of Perception.

PVT is a power based set despite having minor defensive characteristics so you need to compensate for having low precision. Stray away from full PVT but PVT armor with zerker everything else is good in WvW I would advise against it in PVE.

Simply becasue players with food and stacks hit a lot harder and do alot more damage than PVE or SPVP.

Where should I start? The good parts of this finale of LW. Conceptually a great idea. In practice halfway decent before ANET decided to disable drops then give the community the silent treatment.

There was no bug with the knight drops ANET made the decision that they didn’t want players getting drops. Either it was becasue they wanted players to play the event the same way they envisioned it to play or becasue they are stingy. It makes no difference. The end result is the same insufficient rewards. Insufficient core drops.

It wasn’t an issue before when we could zerg the meta. Let me make it clear ANET the decision of the players to zerg your meta is becasue of two reasons. The achievements were not obtainable with doing it the right way. The loot was bad with doing it the right way.

The question remains why would you give players thousands and thousands of blade shards but create a situation where even if a player farmed your event every day all day for two weeks they wouldn’t have enough cores to color their back piece.

Conceptually a great idea in practice terribly thought out and implemented. What is your issue with rewarding players for what is supposed to be the final boss fight of a year long event anyways. You should of just left it alone the way it was now you created problems that never existed because you wanted to be stingy to players and force them to play your way which quite frankly sucks.

Thank you for reading.

Use deep strike and signets, instead of rendering strikes or something and use Cavaliers trinkets.

seems not to be true. Why have a time limit of 6 minutes if they were all supposed to die at once.

The bosses incorrectly scale with the number of players hitting them. I’ve yet to see a map split into three groups and have the DPS to finish all 3 in the allotted time because of that.

It makes no difference if 20 or 100 people are attacking the boss it has as much Hitpoints and defense. Thats why people decided to zerg them down.

Also 5 boxes per Boss isn’t too much loot compared to champ farming. In WvW in zergs I get more loot from bags than this event also. Its people like the OP and people at ANET that think like this that make this game so people want to quit and play other games by not giving people loot or letting them farm.

It supposed to be the final boss end of LOS and ANET still doesn’t want to reward players. Their game is destined to fail and it is look at it.

I and many others have thousands of blade shards and hundreds of blue prints. The average player can create many back backs.

Before when cores were dropping they were dropping at a rate disproportionate to blade shards. Why let us create so many back pieces but then make it so you can only color a couple if you are lucky.

This stage in the game players have numerous level 80 characters and plenty of money and other materials. It seems not very well though out on your part ANET that even if you left drop rates pre bugged when they were dropping that the drop rate was anywhere close to proportional.

Knowing what we know now (and most have us have known all along), the Pale Tree is a wayward Champion of Modremoth, much akin to Glint. The Pale Tree has been shaping its Sylvari to resist Mordremoth’s call. We can assume now the Nightmare Court are Sylvari who remain loyal to Mordremoth.

1: First off, where’s your source for this “known” information?

2: You do know that Glint was freed by a spell used by the Forgotten, right? How would the Pale Tree have broken free to begin with? All Ronan did was take it from where it was and plant it, and Ventari lived around where it grew and left his tablet. Not quite sufficient to break the link between a dragon and its minions. Also, the Pale Tree and the Sylvari have free will, something dragon minions lack. (While some possess sentience, it basically is summed up as “serve/hail the dragon!”)

Pretty much this scarlet saw the duality of consciousness in ommads device but she never found the answers she was looking for. She rejected being part of scociety because she didn’t believe life was just about being good and bad that it was more complex than that. She rejected all gods, she wanted to know the answers to the universe not just accept what she was told. Therefore she is not been corrupted by the ender dragons or one of her minions.

In scarlets mind she is even more powerful than the elder dragons. She would seek to harness the power of the elder dragons or even try to control one for her own bidding if that meant that she would find the answers to the universe.

Everything scarlet does is self serving she serves no one. In the end scarlet never found the answers she was looking for but counted on the dragon she awoke to revenge her death.

Think of scarlet like a slyvari that is smart but not as smart as an assuran with assuran knowledge. They say knowledge is power and knowledge is dangerous for those who cannot control such knowledge. That is scarlet. That is why Taimi says that she could be even more powerful than scarlet. Because shes a real genius not a plant with booksmarts that knows more than she can comprehend without enough intelligence to actually apply what she knows.

my guess is they are too busy having meetings and pointing fingers and trying to decide who is getting fired than fix the problem.

Cuz gurdians have protection, stability and invulnerabilitys. He has aegis. Necros are slow and get knocked around. HE is also heavy armor big norn she is small weak human woman.

multiple threads about this and anet still doesn’t know.

anet doesn’t care it seems.

same thing happening here anet how come u no read and fix.

same thing happening here anet how come u no read and fix.

yup right now on SOR its just frozen whole event.

bump

15 char read it anet it sucks.

I am so disappointed after trying all day to do scarlet and not being able to.

All day I couldn’t do scarlet becasue the attunments would not show up when killing the knights. Then finally anet fixes that I am on the last hologram and and I get a pop up to switch to my own server map and I click leave que and boom network error.

Now I get on my own server to avoid having that happen and the hologram is almost dead then gets 55 mins of determined buff and we can’t kill it.

Seriously ANET WTF come on. This is so bad even for you guys.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

which servers are those, specifically?

and have you played on them, to have such insight as to how dead they are?

Don’t question it.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

what servers would you consider as being “dead”?

The servers that most people wouldn’t pay to transfer to, and people pay to transfer off. That have no chance of winning matchups even in lower tiers.

Example if a server is T8 and still loses every week that server is dead.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

free transfers is what kills low pop servers, not the other way around.

Fixed: Free transfers is what killed low pop servers long before paid transfers were put in place.

The paid transfers system now prevents low pop servers from recovering. Why would most people pay to transfer to a dead server? And ANET just keeps the game this way to rake in more money from people paying to escape from dead servers. By encouraging stacking and ignoring the issues that cause people to want to stack. Then using those issues as a way to make revenue.

That WvW is dead on many of their servers. And it’s not only because of player migration to other servers with larger wvw communitys.

The damage is done Anet you helped foster the killing of your own game mode because you think that you will make more money with paid transfers.

You think let the servers die we will get more money when they make mass exoduses off those servers. Lets pretend that the lower tier servers actually have healthy populations and label them as high so the share holders will think the game is doing good.

Fact your lower pop servers do not have nearly the populations that the server browser states they do and wvw is dead on those servers. And you don’t care becasue people will spend gems to transfer off.

Soon as these other games come out that have GvG and RvR you know which ones I am talking about its going to even further exacerbate so that it will be impossible to hide from the truth any longer.

Anet you need to reopen free transfers and then start consolidating these lower servers soon. Or they are going to be just wasting space and electricity and bandwidth in your data centers.

They already buffed healing surge once and its still not good enough. Its not good enough because its only decent with full adrenaline. Anet should just remove the dependency of adrenaline with healing surge and make it so it just heals for 10k all of the time.

Otherwise if you want to use burst skills you are penalized for playing a warrior. Thats why people dont use healing surge because they want to use burst skills. And healing sig doesn’t penalize the player for using them.

In fact there is no reason for healing sure to be tied to adrinaline and work the way it does other than for anet to pretend that they making good game mechanics. Which just turns out to not be true in this case.

off hand axe is bad because anet says so. do whatever you want but know in the back of your mind it sucks and anet doesn’t care.

Just use the same gear for now.
Traits.
Str 30: Duel weilding/slashing power/Berserkers might.
arms 25: Vuln on crit/forceful GS/ 25 point minor
Zero
Zero
arms 15: Signet mastery/15 point minor

Try that with GS and Axe/mace.

Healing sig/FGJ/Banner of dis or str/Dolyak sig/SOR.

EvOc = Evolve and Overcome. Were new and small guild on SoR. Right now were looking for anyone who likes wvw to join the guild. All professions are welcome to join. We are accepting all skill levels if you are not familiar with PVP and WvW we can teach you.

For now were focusing on roaming and killing any players we see in open field. Taking small objectives like camps and towers until we can get enough numbers to go after larger objectives.

The guild leader is Lord Marshall Darius you can send a mail to Lord Destro or message me in game for invite.

100% rep is not required. If you mostly do PVE or are in other guilds but don’t have anyone to run with in WvW you are welcome to join us and rep us when we run.

Rules. If you are running with us rep the guild. Use Team Speak while we are running together. As of now there are no required builds. You can run whatever build you want as long as its effective at killing other players and staying alive.

Only healing set that is viable for 1v1 small fights is settlers/apothecary. That is a condition build and its not easy to play but you will have fantastic healing and armor and can still do damage with conditions.

The clerics set is a no because power builds need precision and crit damage and it has none.

The new power/precision/healing power is interesting but I think it will be squishy which defeats the purpose of using healing power.

This general discussion is meaningless if you don’t know how to play.

Bad warriors that go full zerk are free bags in wvw.

If you are a great player you should not be using PVT unless all you do is soak up damage in the front line of a zerg.

Start off with PVT and as you get better as a player start removing the PVTand replacing it with zerker. If you want to remain tanky add some cavaliers or knights.

Moral of the story here is a lot of people like to shoot their mouths off about how great they are and how they never die, and about how the y kill anyone 1v1 etc. Well if you are that good you don’t need to be running in full pvt. ANd If you are running full PVT I call BS because your not killing anyone then.

Flissy.4093:

All I can read is “spam” “spam” “spam”.

Irony.

Thats because that is what they do. Over and Over and over.

I think a more accurate way of describing what I am saying is simply compare the weapon sets of Other professions vaible builds or builds that can counter warriors. To warrior weapon sets. And you will see the other professions weapon sets. And no don’t compare 100 blades to anything. The skill isn’t that easy to pull off and requires us to use CC swap weapons and most cases you wont land all the hits.

Ugh your post is giving me a headache. As much as I dislike all the hate towards warriors what you have just posted is a mess.

You do know that SPAM isn’t just a type of horrible canned food but an actual word right?

The only thing being spammed is your use of the word “spam”

All of these classes have different mechanics, the only class that can spam anything is a thief and if they do they thief=dead.

Elementalist spamming skills? Again Ele=dead

Please revise your post.

Compared to a warrior almost anything can be labeled as spamming :P If you can reapply somthing over and over again with relatively short cool downs thats spamming. If you want to challenge that compare cool downs of mesmer invulnerability to anything that warrior has which technically warriors have no invulnerability skills. The only ones they have that are incorrectly called invuln skills are on 1 minute long timers.

So….. I can spam damage with my auto attack? Nerf please
Edit: But I do see your point, but saying that is like saying a Mesmer can spam Mantras, or a Guardian can spam Meditations. Its a subset type of skills for a class. Only the thief is an exception and that is because of class design as well.

Edit2: Saying a Mesmer can spam mantras is hilarious.

Ya I never made the case they can spam mantras. Guardians spam boons, and heals. I think guards are in a good spot. No problem with guards becasue they mostly spam defensive abilities.

ya the auto attack thing is funny, but ya auto attack on a warrior 130 range, and besides maybe axes none of the autos are decent. Good luck landing a axe chain on any of the professions i mentioned. But any class can auto attack so that doesn’t really give warriors a 1 leg up on the competition.

Lets examine other professions abilities and how these mechanics are not only extremely annoying but under the control of competent players are strait up over powered.

Mesmer, Invulnerability spam (evading is close enough) Stealth spam, Blink and teleport spam, Clone spam. Range, Confusion, interrupts, CC Kiting

Thief, Blind Spam, (Blind spam is the big one.) Its ridiculously overpowered in the right hands. stealth spam.

Elementalist, AOE spam, CC spam, Regen spam, boon spam, Range ( D/D and S/D is 300/600 range. Before you make the case that is melee compare it to warrior or melee cleave =130 range Kiting

Necro. Condi Spam, Fear Spam, Army of pets. Multiple HP bars. AOE spam.

Ranger not worth mentioning.

Guardians are in a good place.

Engis are in a good spot. The AOE CC spam is a bit much.

There you have it. What does warrior spam? Pretty much nothing and everything is telegraphed.

Lets compare other classes and warriors in a graph.

As you can see the graph the only players warriors have no problem beating are bad players. It is much harder for a warrior to beat a competent player of another profession than it is for a competent player of another profession to beat a warrior.

1. Now that we have EOTM as an overflow reduce the maximum number of players each server can field in world vs world. If your server is super stacked either go to EOTM and wait out your que or destack on a lower pop server. Why do this? It will even the playing field.

A. This creates an even playing field for all servers in a match up.
B. This gives players an incentive to destack and servers to balance out.
C. This gives players something to do while they wait.

2. Change the way points are gained a cross between the SPVP system of rewarding points for kills of other players and change Point captures to a 1 time thing. When a tower is captured that is 10 points not 10 points every 10 minutes. This system still rewards you for capturing the point, but prevents players from night capping and things ticking all night long. If you want to keep the old system scale it back to 10 points every hour or so. There are so many good reasons why this is a good idea.

A. This allows people to play for kills and not just points.
B. This prevents matches from becoming run aways with no way to come back.
c. This prevents matches to be decided by coverage. Without penalizing people that play off hours.

3. Stop having Seasons unless you are going to come up with rules. What type of contest that everyone should have a shot at winning is a contest where not everyone has a shot at winning and people can cheat by stacking transferring to other servers to stack and guarantee wins.

A. This creates a sporting environment. Sports have rules you know.

4. Give players a reason to win World vs World. Currently there is not much incentive to win other than to say yeah we won.

5. Please implement a raiding system like found in PVE in other games for World Vs World. And extend LFG to World Vs World.

6. Please Implement more ways to spend badges on things players want ascended and skins and stuff.

7. The maps could use a make over without changing the terrain.

8. Implement GvG but so players can use PVE gear and stats.

9. Implement an Alliance system.

10. Do something about arrow carts they are OP.

This pretty much was the catalyst. More simply the guilds that left were guilds that wanted to win. That is all they cared about in the end is winning. There was no intrest in staying in T2 or dropping to T3 and rebuilding to T2.

So they went back to stacked servers simply to win and play easy mode, it started with JQ before SoR dropped to T2 and then ended with TC. If the guilds that left had one sliver of server pride it was gone and all that was left was the desire to win and super stack and blob more.

To the Guilds that hung in there after everyone left I think those were the only people left with any server pride and care for the community. TW, PD and smaller less know guilds. No one will blame them if they now xfer too. I think they wanted to wait and see what would happen. And now they can’t even play for fights any longer because there is almost no one left to get their backs.

Cry me a river.

If we were interested in winning, we’d have gone to JQ. We choose TC because it was the closest thing to pre-league SoR. Back when it was about server pride and working as one unit, back before TW started running tagless and telling off every player that attempted to follow them.

The attitudes of IRON, TW and FEAR are what crippled this server. Instead of embracing new players that came with the leagues, they told them to go kitten off. If you weren’t super, ultra elite you couldn’t even be on the same map as them or they’d verbally assault you over Teamspeak for hours then ban you when they got bored.

BG’s top guilds embraced their new players, SoR’s top guilds told them to kitten off. That’s why BG won the league and is still around, that’s why SoR is dead and TW/FEAR are sitting on servers with no other guilds or players that want to play with them.

If what you say is true you picked the wrong server mate. TC is nothing like pre T1 sor. TC is more like T1 SOR when IRON first showed up. Pre T1 SoR would have been Mag, SoS or FA surely. So you can say whatever you want bro but your actions tell a different story.
And now thanks to TCs new transfers TC is now in contention to topply JQ and BG that doesn’t sound anything like pre T1 SoR to me. So I guess I am right and you are wrong bro sorry. GL to you.

geekanerd.4123:

Qaelyn.7612:

Basically, they gave up.

A couple of weeks ago a bunch of SoR people were in here proudly declaring that they “only care about fights” because “PPT doesn’t matter” and that they were essentially tanking on purpose to move from tier 1 to tier 2. And so they got slaughtered for a couple of straight weeks.

They seemed quite pleased about this, with some even expressing glee that they were (in their view) messing things up for BG and JQ.

Apparently quite a number of people on SoR still do realize that PPT and server pride do matter, and so they went to servers where others also care about winning regular WvW. Most of the others are probably still in EotM.

SoR had the ability to remove itself from tier 1, but not to decide where they would end up. It’s a great lesson in how hard it can be to stop a slide (in any context) once it starts.

Oh, and also a great example of how EotM is destroying WvW.

Yeah, they transferred to servers that have the populations and coverage that allow people to actually take objectives and hold them. SoR has not had that luxury for awhile. SoR’s fall has many different facets to it, but part of the responsibility is Blackgate’s. The server stack before the first season was the catalyst, in my opinion. Going into that initial season, there was a lot of enthusiasm on SoR. I don’t know how many of us actually thought we would take 1st, but there was an idea that we’d definitely be in the running for 2nd.

And then Blackgate CRUSHED the PPT war. Sure, prime-NA could take and defend keeps, but SoR simply couldn’t field enough people to defend through EU/OCX/SEA. So those keeps that we’d upgrade and waypoint would be paper by the time NA would get back on. So NA started putting in overtime. This led to burn out and resentment. Several guilds that wanted to log on and play couldn’t get into maps because guilds in earlier time-slots were putting in more hours. And to top it all off, all the extra playtime and attempts at coverage still didn’t matter. Blackgate rolled and JQ was right behind them.

So something happens when you don’t have coverage. The people who want to hold hard-points get upset with the people who realize that all the upgrading doesn’t matter when it’s all gone overnight. Rifts happen. The people that want to play for PPT leave to places where you can actually play for PPT. Then the server gets steamrolled even more and the guilds that supposedly want to ‘play for fights’ don’t like being crushed. So many of them go to stacked servers (which I blatantly don’t understand, but I guess I’m not required to). One thing leads to another and eventually a server ends up in the boat SoR is in. It isn’t the first; Kaining, IoJ, Dragonbrand, Devona’s Rest, among others, have seen the same implosions. Still, it always seems to be the rich that thumb their nose at the poor: When PPT is simply a matter of which server can field the most people, all that is left is the fights. To suggest otherwise is, at best, mild naivete or, at worst, blatant, dumb, ignorance of how this game actually works. Mostly, though, I’d politely recommend not to confuse inability to win the so-called ‘PPT war’ with lack of pride.

This pretty much was the catalyst. More simply the guilds that left were guilds that wanted to win. That is all they cared about in the end is winning. There was no intrest in staying in T2 or dropping to T3 and rebuilding to T2.

Op is not asking for the meta build. Everything that he said contradicts what the meta build is about. He also probably doesn’t need banners on his bar. And he is not asking for a PVP build

Ya my advice to you if you just want to do PVE but want to keep the soldiers armor and you dont have money. Is just replace the soldiers runes with either Ruby Orbs, Scholar runes, Ogre runes, or Hoelbrak runes if you want to stack -20% condi with leek soup dogged march or something.

And then do Zerker weapons, and zerker trinkets. With sigil of force and accuracy.

For traits and defense 15 points in defense is all you need to feel tankyer Cuz that is adrinal healing then do healing sig as the healing skill the regen will make you tanky in PVE.

Then just pick up 15 in in dis for faster weapon swaps.

you have 40 points left now either put 30 in arms and 10 in str or put 25 in arms 10 in str and add the last 5 to dis or defense.

This sounds like pretty much what you want. So… best of luck

I agree that soft CC stacking is too strong in this game that’s why. Because Warriors need to be inside 130 range to hit you with melee. And if you can throw tons of ranged soft CC at them and kite around so they cant hit you that’s also not exactly fair.

Also warriors mobility is tied to movement speed. so soft CC on them makes it so they can’t disengage or engage. Thats why warriors stack -condition duration so they can actually land hits on people that can spam cc and run around and hit them from range or disappear and reaper or blink and teleport away etc etc. Who also can spam AOEs like there is no tomorrow without actually having to skillfully land hits.

People are not liying about your terrible implementation ANET. I got my 1st ring around rank 200. I would have gotten maybe 200 rings by now just from fractal daily chests.

That doesn’t seem balanced at all in fact its not.

Ya props guyz I noticed to. I’m used to beating BG in 1v1 then they go get more people to zerg me down with. Then JQ kill stealing my kills. Etc it goes both ways.

Last night that wasn’t the case though me and a friend were doing 2v2 2v4 etc then maguma would just come and zerg us down. Evrytime.

5 points in defense is 100 Armor when health is above 90%. People also like to use dolyak signet for the passive 180 armor. This is just a reminder for theory crafters out there. What looks good on paper is not so good in realiy.

Once you are below 90% and pop stability which chance are this 100% happens you are down 280 armor. Which is significant.

Right I agree with the suggestions about Hoelbrak runes. And missile deflection isn’t that good. Great fortitude is ok. But you would be better off with Blade master 10% crit chance with swords. Spiked armor retal is not a good trait. And like I suggested in the other thread your build is better off with 25 in arms for 10% damage vs bleeding foes.

And also Like i said in your other thread you condition damage is no more than what your traits give. Just becasue you have weapons that deal conditions your build is not a condition build so +40 condition duration food is useless to you.

So there for also Poisen on swap is useless to use as well since not only is your condition damage low but that is not enough poison to serve a purpose at reducing somones regen. And like I said the bleeding damage on swap is useless also.

Boom your build is 10x better.

Its pretty cool but not as a healing skill. If it was a trait that could activate under certain conditions like embrace the pain than it could be useful.

For wvw honestly try this, you should not die with this build. Any thing that you cant kill you can run away from. You can run through map blobs and not die. You can kill/beat a fair amount of other players but there are some that you can’t.

You can face tank camps and take them yourself. You can solo tower lords sentrys etc. And your mobility is fantastic.

For PVE just switch out the sword and shield for axe and mace off hand. And change the trats to the 30/25/0/0/15 meta build. Change the food to Damage food. swap out endure pain for for great justice and the signet of stamina for a banner of discipline.

Before anyone gets critical he asked for a balanced build this build is pretty balanced. Its not the best build but the average player can do very well with it.

for WvW?

Long bow has always been popular for its utility. The reason why people use the longbow has less to do with cleasining IRE and more to do with the immobilize, Its ability to shoot up keep walls, the blind skill, and it being the only other viable condi weapon for condi wars.

But the bust skill is not as helpful in open field wvw where people can just runn out of it. Its a better skill for holding a point like in SPVP which isn’t the case in WvW.

There are also other more viable ways to deal with conditions in WvW, where as in Spvp there are not.
interesting conclusion you came to but far off.

Its only worst than reposte for blocking ranged attacks. Shield is Much superior to blocking melee attacks. In rare instances you need to block anything that you cannot dodge in PVE. In PVP shield block will save your life.

Run 2 warriors in a party then you don’t have to ask.

MH mace and Rifle do not have sustained DPS.

Your build has no mobility.

Your build has Low Defense and Low DPS.

Your not going to outlast anyone.

Start over with a new theory.

Nothing I can suggest will make it better, It’s past the point of being fixable.
