I also say its good. But it´s full melee and thats a tactical disadvantage.
Ah wait i also play full meele power warr …. I do swap to rifle somtimes if the oposing team crys for it (e.g. 3+ DH XD).

The berserk F1 on sword has some range to it, but I generally have enough in gap closers to not need range. Range is always nice, but if I want to play range, I’ll just log my condi necro and press 1 to win lol.

Use Krait runes 100%. With the right trait lines and krait runes, your headbutt will deal a ton of damage.

There are even game play videos and skill rotation for reference there.

Plautze.6290:

The only thing that surprises me more than your arrogance is that you survived for 17 years, insulting everybody just because they don’t see your point. I salute your “maturity”. One day, you too will arrive in the real world. And then, my child, you will definitely get your butt kicked.

It’s a shame I won’t be around to witness.

Sometimes I really wonder why most “good” gamers always have to behave like humongous kittens. Perhaps social skill and gaming skill are mutually exclusive, who knows.
Anyway, I won’t further waste time on you. Actually, nobody should. We should do what is always done when children exceed their bounds: Ignore them.

Kids will be kids lol. I’d like to see his power warrior or even his condi warrior build do anything like I can do on my condi warrior.

There aren’t enough people in PvP that are self sufficient with their builds. I can see where long bow is useful for group fights, but for 1v1 or 1v2, it would do you no good at all. That makes you reliant on your team which, in my experience, is not something you should rely on lol. My build handles itself well in both group fights and solo, which to me, makes it the stronger build.

He is also missing out on a lot of damage from not taking Strength line with the confusion, bleed, and weakness on stun/daze/interrupt that you do a lot of with mace/shield. I just don’t see where his build would do any damage that isn’t quickly and easily mitigated.

The build has great dmg. It’s a simple fact that your build is bad. How can you be so stupid to try and deny the lb build as bad. It’s used in esl. And I compete myself. I already said you wouldn’t be able to comprehend. Have fun in bronze or silver or whatever u are.

You seem angry lol. Longbow is a crap weapon for condi warrior compared to sword/torch. Meta can be whatever it is, but I beat up on those warriors all the time with ease because they don’t do damage.

Longbow is far better than sword torch. Period. If you deny that you just prove yourself more degenerate. Angry? More surprised by the lack of inteligence in an adult.

Longbow is garbage in comparison. Your traits you chose will make your condi warrior do so little damage as well. I don’t care if it’s meta. Meta is generally determined by a few guys running the same thing and finding where it’s effective, then other people jump on the bandwagon after seeing it work for those people and the ball keeps rolling from there..

The condition damage in longbow is nothing compared to sword torch. I can stack 12 burn stacks on someone in less than 2 seconds on sword torch all while giving myself fire aura so they burn them selves if they touch me and I get might. I have a leap as a gap closer on sword and the auto does bleeds. Now to look at longbow and see how much damage it gives you.

The only thing longbow gives you is range.
Longbow 1: does no condi, slow attack.
Longbow 2: 3 seconds of 3 stacks of burn.
Longbow 3: no condi damage.
Longbow 4: no condi damage.
Longbow 5: single target immobilize and bleed. Also a physical projectile and can be reflected back at you.
Regular F1: AOE burn fire field that most people will just dodge out of.
Berserk F1: small AOE burn.

Now sword torch.
Sword 1: Bleed/bleed/cripple.
Sword 2: Leap, use it on your torch 5 and get fire aura.
Sword 3: No condi damage.
Torch 4: AOE burn and cripple in front of you for 3 targets.
Torch 5: remove 2 conditions, moving fire field, AOE burn.
Berserk F1: 8 stacks of burning, has piercing so usually end up stacking those burns on more than 1 person. Usually enough to down about anyone in PvP.
Regular F1: 8 stacks of bleed and immobilize AOE.

Play as you like, but I’ve played with both and found sword torch far more effective in damage. I generate downs very quickly as you can see from the video I posted and I don’t have to rely on my team to save my behind in fights even when I’m out numbered a lot of times.

Also, out of curiosity, how many matches have you played so far this season? I checked and I am actually at 17 matches played ranked this season lol. It is because that is all I have time for between running a WvW roaming guild and being a part of another guild, also all that real life stuff I mentioned before.

Legendary actually is skilled now. Also I play on average 3 games a day atm. But alright :^)

I don’t live in a basement, I live in our house and my room :^) idk why you’re so proud to not play the game much and calling me out as failure for being 17. You don’t know anything about me. I’ve the best grades and I’ve skipped a grade ahead of my age. However from what I read I regard you degenerate.

There’s no need to make up excuses and assumptions to feel better about yourself.

Legendary is skilled now? lol.. I’ve played about 20 games so far this ranked season, I’m generally carrying in every match because I know how to actually rotate and win fights 1v1 or even outnumbered. I still get stuck with garbage teams of players who don’t know how to play which cause us to lose the match fairly often. See my streams over the past couple of days.

I didn’t say there was anything negative about you being 17, I simply said you don’t have the responsibilities of an adult who does not have time to play as much as you do lol. Proud of you for skipping a grade and having good grades, no doubt high school is hard (lol)… I’m not making assumptions, I’m sure if you checked your play time vs mine, yours is a lot higher because you have more time to be logged in having less responsibilities in life.

What are you even talking about lmao, I’ve only posted what I played in the vid, never was it optimal. If you want a good build, here u go:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNApeDWqCMleQsLH8OabtzWkCQDIAA-TphGwADOBAz2fAwhAgwDA4wRAgZZAA

There are others as well depending on your and their comps

Your build is terrible and any reasonable person knows so or will understand that by me saying it is. You’ve also proven yourself irrational, so I don’t expect you to comprehend.

You didn’t choose any utility skills and longbow is not even CLOSE to as good as sword/torch for a condi build. Also, undead runes vs Krait runes for a condi warrior? My headbutt will load someone up with condis just about every time I use it because of krait runes. Also taking the stability on berserk mode trait over kings of fire on a condi build?! LOL… You’re kidding right? Smash brawler instead of last blaze??? Discipline over strength where you’ll apply confusion every time you interrupt, which is a lot?

Have you ever actually played condi warrior or are you just spitballing here? Because the build you just posted is literally not even viable in comparison.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRApe8fnMdAtkilkCWhAEliFjAzIAsBzZIjgVwH4d4ucfuA-TZRHABAcCACZ/hkKDU7BBI4nAAA

See the build above, just so you know what a good condi warrior build looks like.

Yes, it is :^) And you’re what? silver? and it fits the lvl of your gameplay. You don’t know any of those things you claimed to know. You are a major contribution to the team being kitten.

“lives in his moms basement” and “no life”, sounds very much so like disparage, and then linking them as confirmation by me being 17 (Yes, assumptions)

I still don’t understand why you’re so proud of “not having much time” and me having more time (fyi, I don’t play a lot) to somehow be degrading or a reason for you to feel superior. It’s the same idiotic mentality as “well, I didn’t even try, so I’m better”. Please.

Ye sry, I made it in 10 sec :^)
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNApeTnMdAtkidhAWhAElilqATpHE7yBvj2W7sFpA0ACAA-TphGwAHOCADOBAz2fgZZACPAAAHCAA

There u go. Also, as I said, your build is terrible, and watching ur vod, you are terrible as well. But as I said, I didn’t expect you to comprehend. How is it not viable if it’s been meta (unknown if it will still be meta since next patch is yet not here) and used it the tournaments. I don’t know if you’re intentionally being stupid, or just born that way.

That build wouldn’t do damage lol… Go make a video of you playing it and see how good it is.

https://www.twitch.tv/asphyxiaxt/v/108806654

A small 2 minute clip of me destroying 2 thieves in 2v1, then a ranger in like 5 seconds, then a thief again, then a ranger again lol.

I suppose they were bad players probably, but I don’t see many people winning 4 fights right in a row with no cooldown reset for most of it, one of which being a 2v1 that almost killed me and would have had I been a lesser player lol..

For the nay sayers about my condi warrior.
https://www.twitch.tv/asphyxiaxt/v/108806654

Fun fact, I didn’t even have to look hard for anything like this. I have hours of footage in PvP and WvW of me doing stuff like this on my condi warrior. This video is from yesterday in a ranked PvP match.

Mulling.8421:

Playing condi warrior in current year

You must have not fought any good ones lol.. Berserker elite spec made condi warrior near godly for roaming in WvW and for PvP. People apparently just haven’t figured it out yet..

guess he even didn´t look at the top score in PvP ….

I don’t pay attention to that stuff. I am a firm believer that anyone who no lifes anything that depends on you grinding forever will achieve a high number in rankings like that. I work 40-60 hours a week and am building a race car and also planning a wedding right now on the side. I play this game for like 5 hours a week if I am lucky lol.. If I had no life and could play this game for 18 hours a day like some other people, I could easily be at the top of some leaderboards too.

But by all means, enjoy worshipping someone who likely lives in their mothers basement.

Edit: Checked his twitch channel – he is 17. Confirmed no responsibilities and lives in moms basement, again my point stands.

Before you get torn to shreds by the angry mob:
I feel the same about some GW2 players. It is, after all, just a game and neither does it fill your fridge nor does it pay the bills. Whoever has his whole life circle solely around a video game really has to check his priorities.

Yes indeed. I greatly enjoy this game, but I don’t have the time to make it on to any leader boards lol.

Skill level is a different story, I’m sure I am not the best player in the game because I’ve been bested in the past. I’ve very rarely ran across too many people who could beat me in 1v1 fights in PvP or WvW. It is easy to counter any build if you know what your enemy is playing, but I try to build most of my builds to handle anything that is thrown at them. Obindo has 2 warrior builds, both power, both only PvP builds and one is for dealing with condi and one is for dealing with power. My condi warrior build deals with both well and I’ve proven its abilities with hours of footage on my stream if anyone has questions on that.

Also looks like he is EU, so its not like our paths would ever cross anyway.

I’ve been using my condi warrior build, sword/torch and mace/shield with wanderers amulet and krait runes. It has been working pretty well so far against almost anything I’ve run in to.

I’ve been on both sides of Maguuma, running my small guild on that server, running around with the blobs on that server, and running my small guild against the server as well as running with the zergs of opposing servers. I can tell you that Maguuma generally outnumbers their enemies when winning most fights. I’ve seen Maguuma take a blob of 60+ to wipe my 5 man group before, and I mean chased down from one side of the map to the other lol.

I know that Maguuma has the most skilled pugs in the game, by that, what I really mean is that the pugs aren’t playing stupid classes and stupid builds. Many of them are running meta builds and classes that are actually worth something to a group instead of running a bunch of idiot rangers, thieves, and engineers that do nothing for group support (see the rest of the servers lol.) Maguuma definitely has the best organization and surely deserve to be rewarded for this, but the fact that you guys outblob everyone doesn’t really merit winning purely from kills in NA prime and EU lol.

HatSimulator.9362:

Yo, appreciate the responses. Thanks for actually listening and taking my criticism well. My bad on the warrior thing

No problem! I’m always open to suggestions. I’ve tried to make sure these builds can work for several different kinds of groups, but it is up to the person who is playing the class to figure out which would work better with the group they’re playing with, or if they’re playing solo, which is best for their playing style.

I play incredibly aggressive in fights, which usually works well for me. I’ve found that if you put someone on the defensive, they’ll usually quickly blow all of their cooldowns and become an easy bag from there. Granted, not as many good players will do that, but if you damage them enough quickly, they will do what they have to do in order to stay alive.

Also, I meant to say I don’t personally play condi necro, but said warrior lol.. I edited that post to fix it.

HatSimulator.9362:

These are cool but me and my guild discussed your builds in length together.

I really don’t like your warrior builds personally as I think phx str is worthless with no str duration. Also tactics is just bad in wvw especially if you drop disc for it

As previously mentioned, I took this trait line for small 5 man power warrior setup for more CC and might, it isn’t necessary and I did give an alternative build to that.

HatSimulator.9362:

your condi necro is bad as well. You should (read as NEED) get up to 50% condi duration AT MINIMUM. This is easily done by switching your trinkets to trailblazer then the rest should be dire if you can’t afford Trailblazer. In the end, all your gear should be full trailblazer no exceptions. You’ll get almost 80% condi duration which is needed in WvW with all the condi food and kitten.

I don’t personally play condi necro, my fiance does for our small group and runs this build. Her damage from condi is the second largest in our group, only second to my condi warrior because its burst is probably the highest of anything in the game right now lol. Trailblazers is good stuff, but it isn’t needed to make the build work.

HatSimulator.9362:

Frontline ele with full celes seems okay but idk… I’d switch some of those up with cavs or marauder myself

Build needs a little bit of update honestly, if I were stilll running my ele, it would be a mix of marauder and crusaders most likely for small group play or solo play. My full cele build did me very well for a long time and eventually I did change to a marauder/zerk/cav build for solo play. There are videos from that time and build is linked there as well.

HatSimulator.9362:

Delete boonshare MEMEser. I’ve seen guilds with almost 5 of those and they can only stack 10-20 seconds of like 3 different boons with a perfect rotation.

Yep agreed, boonshare mesmer is dead now – I just dropped it off the list since it isn’t actually a viable build anymore in my opinion.

HatSimulator.9362:

someone in my guild said you had bad rev traits on the roamer build but idk about that one.

Rev in general is not very good for roaming anymore since the more recent nurfs, but that build still stands pretty strong for small man group play. Revenant is still super glitchy and annoying to play because of weapon swaps not working half the time, so most of my guild is moving away from running revenants in our group comp now as well.

HatSimulator.9362:

Frontline guard with full nomads and a staff gs is god awful. Switch those weapons to a mace/shield and hammer if you’re going full nomads. Greatsword is wasted as it has no healing. Also idk why you don’t take pure of voice unless you have extremely good condi clear from some other class.

Agreed, I never run full nomads, I was asked by a friend to throw an ultra tank guardian build together lol. I would never ever run that build personally because I survive in larger groups with my guardian running marauder/zerk lol..

Not every build there is for everyone, you choose what works for you. I’m not building meta builds, I’m building stuff that works for certain situations. Most of those builds will work where I grouped them under very well, but the roaming builds are group synergized for MY group based on my groups needs, rather it is damage, more CC, heals, or whatever.

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

Nevermind. I’m on EU, you are on NA lol

Well that handles that then haha. Maybe some day.

I’m color blind, so that immediately angered me when I couldn’t see my opponents for anything when I logged in. For me being color blind, that just made the game unplayable for me.

I had to switch it back to the normal name plates just to play the game. Can’t complain too much considering they at least left an option to turn it off..

Pretty annoying, add a long cooldown on it or just remove that animation..

If I had a “consume all” option on tomes of knowledge and something worth getting from spirit shards, I’d not even care as much. The fact of the matter is that when you have over 4000 tomes of knowledge, double clicking them and pressing “Yes” for each one to consume it is just not a realistic idea. I don’t have time for that lol.. I use my badges of honor for badge of tribute to make guild catas, only real useful siege these days in my opinion lol. Not going to use it for regular catas to make superior catas even for money, not enough profit in it to waste my badges on regular catas.

How and why are two tier one servers pitted against a tier three server?

Easy.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/big-changes-coming-to-wvw-matchups/

Is this a trick question?

Apparently you didn’t read… Anet isn’t honoring their word on this statement at all.

“To counter this, we’re going to partially randomize server matchups, with the exception being we won’t match servers against other servers whose rating falls outside of an acceptable range. This range will be determined by using your world’s rating and deviation (already listed on the leaderboards).”

The care they said they’d exhibit NEVER HAPPENED

Huh? This is how match-making has been working since that post. The “acceptable range” is +/- 100 rating.

The ratings of the top seven servers last match were:
1- 2 086.395
2- 1 953.507
3- 1 933.747
4- 1 922.419
5- 1 882.185
6- 1 863.060
7- 1 852.305

Now you see that many of those ratings are within the +/- 100 “acceptable range”. There was only a 10 point difference between rank 6 and rank 7 and 81 point difference between rank 2 and rank 7. That means the rank 7 server was well within the “acceptable range” to roll positive and rank 6 to roll negative. Ten points is too small of a difference to have an impact in the way the randomized roll will occur.

As for rank 2 rolling down, you can see that the rank 4 and rank 5 servers are also within the “acceptable range”, having less than a 100 point difference with the rank 2 server.

This answers your question as to how and why the rank 7 server ended up in a match against rank 2 and rank 3. Perfectly expected and “acceptable”.

Oh no! SIMPLE MATH!!?!! Don’t hurt them, Chaba.

Please please please stop giving tomes of knowledge in WvW. Please give us something more useful from the reward tracks and dailies. Siege maybe? Yes I know you can make siege from spirit shards and get spirit shards from tones, but that is extra work I’d like to pass on.

What we can get is useless for most of us. Tomes, Spirit Shards, even a plethora of Obsidian Shards BUT…

What we can not get – LAURELS – almost impossible to get how about a way to convert such an imbalance of false loot to things that are useful like Laurels?

Please.

Laurels or Mystic Coins would be awesome. Doubt they would do laurels but something needs to bring the price of mystic coins way down though.

Yes XTR lets duel. You dont know kitten about warrior with your toughness overdose. And all that weird stuff arround it.
You talking Bout crutches but my build has everything better Inc better stats, so keep dreaming about that you can crit me higher xd I will destroy your bubble with love.
Lets fight tonight.
And yes I have tons of footage about myself powning people, but we are not talking about that don’t we?
Add me, we will fight tonight. Winner gets 250g, what do you say, up for a Gamble?
Best out of 5, If you lose, give me 250g, If I lose, i give you 250.

I don’t have 250g, but I also won’t be fighting you on my warrior. Condi warrior vs power warrior is a no-win scenario. I’d either play my ele or guard most likely.

kathy.8291:

When your in a rush to take a tower or a keep and your fumbling through your inventory to look for stupid siege its a win or break situation before the zerg is on you. Every second counts when taking a keep or tower that is t3.

Honestly, all I can really say to this is that you really need to organize your inventory better lol.

My inventory is always the same. Salvage kit, stones, food, rams, catas, then everything else. Siege is always right at the top.

Bigpapasmurf.5623:

I know that most condi zerkers use sword/sh or sword/torch (my fav so far), I don’t see many LB (prob the projectile hate). I understand mace (stuns with perplexity rune, and with rage burst bar) but I camp sword more than my mace (for mace shield) and I find that the overall condi damage is greater with sword fireball than with mace smash thingy (unless I interrupt then the extra condi application does a bit more damage). I also tried sword/sword and it had its pro and con.

Con:
Only 1 attack block and stun was good for setting up a small condi burst
No reflect in a projectile loving world

Pro:
Torment hurts (even berzerkers due to their GS running abilities) especially if you are chasing and they are always just out of range (that 900 range torment)
Extra source of condi

So less survivability for extra condi damage

Both worked well in different situations

My sw/sw variation:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRAsf8cnMdAtkiVhAehAElilpA7N1+artHDwAwrTJIU7qBA-TlREwAp0PoQJYo9Hwp+zRlfAM/RKAImGB-w

The faster the adrenaline build, the better (and this will help if you miss your headbutt due to the regen)

I do swap between that and this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRAsf5enMdAtkiVhAehAElilqATpHE7iBvl2VbsFpA0ACAA-TlREABKoEEAzf4o+Tx7Pki+hjU+RKAImGB-w

I fits someone’s primetime (and lots of zerging) I will usually run this. If its not and there are lots of small scale / roamers then I will run the sw/sw variant

What do you think? (I think the mace one is close to yours, but the inspiration came from Hadi’s build with some minor tweaks)

Sword/Sword is fine, I just personally prefer sword/torch and mace/shield.

I’d definitely not drop Strength line for Discipline on the condi build personally. The confusion on interrupt from Strength line and Body Blow from strength line causing weakness and bleeding. You really rob yourself of a lot of damage as condi by dropping that line.

You also rob yourself of the damage on the elite skill by dropping Krait runes for perplexity. Perplexity is certainly viable and you can definitely make a build work well with that, but with the low cooldown of head butt, krait runes allow it to deal a lot of damage as well as if you’re traited in to Strength, then you also get weakness, more bleed, and confusion if it interrupts, which it normally does.

I spent a decent bit of time trying to maximize my damage output without sacrificing the high defense on that condi build and I think I’ve done it. I haven’t found any way of increasing the damage output still. And trust me, this wasn’t a build I just came up with in a build editor, I have changed my ascended armor stats multiple times, swapped several different trinkets, tried every weapon warrior has to offer and spent many hours dueling and solo roaming on it to make sure I had it right.

Sword/Torch is for the big burn and bleed autos, mace/shield is for the interrupts, confusion, and bleed bomb.

I think telling you my typical rotation may help.

Starting in sword/torch, I’ll frequently lead with:
- Head Butt (3 seconds of weakness, 2 stacks of bleeding for 8 3/4 seconds, 1 stack of burn for 4 seconds) + From Krait runes, 8 seconds of bleeding, torment, and poison.
- Then hit my F2 for Berserk Mode (4 seconds of 1 burn stack)
- Sword F1 (8 stacks of 2 3/4 second burning)
- Torch 4 (1 stack of burn for 4 seconds for each time it hits, it hits up to 5 times)
- Shattering Blow (4 stacks of bleeding for 14.5 seconds, 1 burn stack for 4 seconds)
- Outrage (1 burn stack for 4 seconds)
- Torch 5 (1 stack of burning for 1 and 1/4 seconds, then when it ends, another 2 stacks of burn for 4 seconds)
- Sword 2 (Leap finisher on Torch 5, gives fire aura, more burning)
- Swap to Mace/Shield
- Mace F1 (Blasts the torch 5 which gives might, 4 stacks of bleeding for 11.5 seconds, 4 stacks of confusion for 4 seconds, another 2 stacks of bleeding for 8.75 seconds, 3 seconds of weakness, 5 seconds of blind. If interrupts, add 4 stacks of confusion for 8 seconds.)
- Shield 4 (If interrupts, add 4 stacks of confusion for 8 seconds.)
- Mace 3 (If interrupts, add 4 stacks of confusion for 8 seconds.).

Usually by this time, most people are dead. If they’re not, pretty much rinse and repeat.

Also updated my link with that information above. http://xtremetheory.com/wvw-roaming-condi-warrior/

Make it harder to throw down siege so people will be less likely to do it lol.

But really though, kidding aside, that is a good idea. I don’t personally find it very challenging to hit “i” then double click my siege weapon but having a siege bar would be cool to save me a couple of clicks.

Thanks for the tips.

As mentioned, DPS berserker I have little issues with, quickness rifle look like I am going to have to camp from max range and time my dodges/evades.

You mentioning they will put on a bit of condis to blow my condi clears (where I have 4/5) tells me that I can clean them, however I have to be more mindful when fighting them and use my smaller/quicker cleanses first. ALso looks like another strat would be “stay ranged”.

Thanks for the tips people, just need to find some of ya’s to spar against to learn visually the rotations I should watch for.

I greatly appreciate it.

A lot of condi warriors that I have seen will play very aggressive like myself. Usually following our burst, we will repeatedly stun/daze you so that you can’t clear your conditions. Feel free to PM me in game if you see me if you want some practice duels.

with 2/3 stun breaks (2 clears condis) plus my CA, that’s good to know when to keep at least 1-2. I would appreciate sparring as between zerkers (the above mentioned) and condi chronos (literally I kill myself) I suck (even tho im built to clean condis lol). I really need to learn to watch my condi stacks lol.

My main account is “Josh XT.6053”, my alt account is this one that I am posting on. Shoot me a PM some time if you see me online and we can do some duels to practice. The key to winning a lot of those fights is simply timing your clears and stun breaks, but you may still be out of luck if your DPS is not enough to take the person down.

I may take ya up on that offer.

In the meantime I started to run condizerker and learned that if I avoid the headbutt it will greatly decrease the condi output/burst. Look slike I will need to either stay ranged or try to force the headbutt and evade it (more ballsy).

As cheesy as I feel running it (able to 2v1 easily with it on the first day I played it), I used to run a lot of condi builds pre HoT (engi/ranger/necro/guard) I kinda miss a strong condi build. Breath of fresh air the first 3 days of playing it,lol

Yeah it is a really insane build lol. Once you learn the combo, it is nearly unstoppable when timed well. The problem with fighting other warriors with it is that they have a lot of stun break, condi clear and resistance. Hard to out play that, but it is possible.

Wolfric.9380:

i don´t know what druids run around but a good LB/Staff druid with some extra condi defence despite CA should kite you well with his bristleback as additional turret … I know i can kill them but i am power with very high mobility and can loose even with that.

Maybe I fight the worst druids in the world then, idk. I haven’t met a good one. Usually if they try to do that super kiting away from me thing, I just turn around and walk away from them. I’m not going to sit there and chase someone all day, its boring. But generally, my regen will outdo their damage since my condi warrior is so tanky. Between healing signet, dogged march, food and adrenal health trait – I am usually sitting at 500-1000 HP regenerating per second. Pretty hard to break through that when I also have 3.4k armor and 28k HP lol..

Wolfric.9380:

XTR.9604:

Both have their ups and down, but the condi warrior will over all deal more damage and live longer against someone who doesnt have crazy amounts of resistance or condition clears, which is almost everyone except another warrior lol.

.

???? I play power warrior and it is the warrior that has exactly that. You play cleasing ire + berserkers stance + sigil yourself.

You build is well focused and it´s ok. But i won´t do it that way because it lacks speed. I won´t run annything in roaming without at least permaswiftness. Also you will do more damage with adding viper pieces. But if you like it more tanky do it ….

I would expect you die against me. But it is quite possible that it lasts a while due to dire and when hitting a burst. It´s OK and will definitly kill a lot other builds that lack condi removal. I guess you won´t kill a support ele and you should loose against a power warrior. Druid should also kill you and that one is very common in roaming.
You are kiteable. You will definitly destroy a bunch of beginners with it and as necros condi bomb will do or i do with ele overload, and i can imagine that you tear down a lot of others with your tankiness and high condi damage if they don´t run when out of cleanse.

To be fair, I don’t think much of anyone kills support eles 1v1 lol. My condi build does lose to power builds pretty frequently because they can mitigate a lot more of my damage in the fight than I can of theirs. Warrior has probably the highest amount of cleanse/resistance if traited well. Revenant if traited for it has a ton of resistance but not much in the way of direct cleanse.

The idea with the condi build is generally that you need to keep people CCd through your condi bombs and watch for their stun-breaks and cleanse skills to go on cooldown.

As far as movement speed goes, yeah I like to have it as well. I normally have a revenant with me as I’ve mentioned before unless I am solo roaming. I have a bunch of random booster bundle things that have the +15% movement speed bonus in them, I will usually just pop one of those when I am solo lol.

I’ve yet to die to any ranger, in fact I’ve won several 2v1s against druids + something else vs me on my condi warrior. Some of which I’ve highlighted on my website in the build link.

Allot of enemys you fight dont even proc dogged march.
Even if you proc dogged march for 1 minute long incl cd’s, I crit that health away with just 1 button. So how good is that trait realy?

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dogged_March
Where did you get 1 minute internal cooldown? It is a 10 second internal cooldown. I find myself getting immobilized, crippled and chilled very frequently in fights. So for me to get 780 hp regen for 6 seconds every 10 seconds essentially in a fight is just some extra regen and it also keeps me from getting locked down easily.

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

Also the fact that you use balance stance combined with eternal champion says enough about your warrior knowledge. I mean, what did you smoked man!? You’re fooling yourself. Stop beleaving that eternal champion combined with balance stance is a good choice xD But i think its cute that you dont see it that way.

I’m trying to take you seriously and give you answers as to why I am doing things, but you’re creating a literacy barrier.

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

You can say whatever you want but my build has more power then your build, I crit higher then you do, I have more acces to stability, I have more acces to stunbreakes , I can spam beserker more then you, I also have more blocks then you ^^, more condi cleanses,
more ferocity, more precision, Im more tanky then you are PLUS I have double endure pain AKA my build is superior to your build.
Props to Obindo, best warrior of planet earth, he made that build Im using xD.

You’re welcome to 1v1 me. I know how to counter power warrior, it isn’t hard to do. You’re using crutches and will deal less damage because of it. I generally prefer playing condi warrior over power warrior. Both have their ups and down, but the condi warrior will over all deal more damage and live longer against someone who doesnt have crazy amounts of resistance or condition clears, which is almost everyone except another warrior lol.

Do you have any game play footage from roaming? I have hours of it to show what my builds do.

In general, WvW is a Player vs Player game mode with a larger scale environmental aspect. One of the great things about WvW is that there are 4 maps and EOTM that you can go to. If you’re getting spawn camped, there are also at least 2 exits to each spawn, and if that does not work, you can go to a different map.

The other fun thing is that there are tons of maps where PvP doesn’t exist in PvE land. Pick your poison, but don’t get so upset about getting killed in a PvP game mode.

I personally prefer Marauder on power warrior. The extra HP is a difference maker if you end up getting condi bombed and your berserker stance is on cool down. You’ll still do plenty enough damage with Marauder.

Either one will work, I generally like to balance my builds out with tankability and damage, a good middle ground to have a well rounded build usually has a lot of benefits.

I think you’re confused, OP. No one is double teaming Yaks Bend, they’re also fighting each other. The difference is, FA and Maguuma are defending their stuff.

Yaks Bend used to be the defense server, siege and scouts everywhere. You guys just have lost your touch and it isn’t a challenge taking your stuff anymore. Everyone takes Yaks Bends stuff because it is easy to do. It is too hard for FA and Maguuma to take each others stuff, not that we don’t try to take each others stuff, just that it is easier to take Yaks Bends.

I can’t say that I feel bad for YB or want them to get back to their roots, I’d really just like them to fall to the abyss of T4 and stay there.

I haven’t had any issues killing rangers except the ones that just run away from me forever. When I encounter one of those, I generally will try to fight them for a few minutes before giving up and walking away.

My condi warrior build does a really good job against them because once they use their condi clear, they’re generally vulnerable to the condi burst at that point. One of the videos in the build link shows me blowing up one of those rangers in a 2v1 on my condi warrior in the link below.

http://xtremetheory.com/wvw-roaming-condi-warrior/

Granted, I can’t guarantee that the guy was any good at the game. Builds can only carry you so far.

For a condi build (Dire especially), why go mace? Is LB not optimal for condi builds?

Look at the mace main hand F1 when in berserk mode.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skull_Grinder

A lot of conditions + more confusion on interrupt from traits since it dazes. Also more bleeding and weakness from traits. Over all, I’ve found mace/shield and sword/torch to be the most effective combination for condi warrior personally. Also a small perk, I’ll usually try to go in berserk mode in sword/torch, hit my F1, then hit my 5 skill which is a fire field, then switch to mace/shield, hit my F1 on mace shield and it blasts my fire field from the torch 5. A little bit of extra might is nice once you get the hang of that combo.

Mace 3 is also a daze, which has a chance to interrupt and inflicts bleed, weakness and if it interrupts, also confusion. Mace auto attack is pretty bad for condi, but that is why the torment sigil is nice. To be fair, the longbow auto is pretty bad for condi as well.

In general, I’ve always found the damage from longbow to be lacking in comparison to the CC that mace/shield does and conditions it will drop as well. Longbow is still plenty viable, just not as good as mace/shield in my opinion.

I get you know when the mace, however how often do you crit with this dire build (ever think about swapping torment for someone more guaranteed as the torment, I believe, Is only 1 stack)

It is currently sitting at 18% crit without fury. I get 6 seconds of fury from going in to Berserk mode which sets me up to 38% crit. When I am not solo roaming, I almost always have a revenant with me that is giving me permanent fury as well. The torment sigil is a noticeable damage increase, it will generally throw on 1-2k torment ticks.

What do you normally play?

druid

I found your problem right there. Play something else, druid is not good – I don’t care what anyone says, I’ve literally never lost a fight to a druid on my warriors, Guardians or Elementalist.

Guardian and Elementalist do pretty well against warriors in most cases depending on build. I have a couple of roaming builds on my website for ele and guardian that I’ve beat up on warriors with pretty often. The elementalist especially has a decent amount of reflect up time which ends up making rifle warriors kill themselves, pretty funny. A smart rifle warrior won’t fall for it though, they’ll swap weapons.

As far as condi warrior goes, the counter is power warrior and Guardian. Druid has a decent condi clear, but if the condi warrior is smart, they’ll put a small bit of condis on you so you blow your clear then they’ll load you up and watch you go to down state.

I’m assuming you’re talking roaming or dueling, so I can make some suggestions.

My recommendation for classes/builds below.
Guardian Build
Elementalist Build
Condi Warrior Build

As far as the condi warrior build that I recommended goes, it is not a good plan to play it vs a good power warrior. A good power warrior will beat me on my condi warrior 9 times out of 10 in my experience, and I consider myself to be pretty good at condi warrior. Against another condi warrior though, you could outplay them if they don’t play their cooldowns well. I’ve beaten up on several condi warriors with ease because I made them blow their berserker stance early in the fight then just baited them around until it was up then dropped my full burst on them. The key when fighting another warrior to beat them with the condi warrior build is to keep them stunned/dazed. That is the only good way I’ve beaten power warriors as well on it.

I’ve seen a lot of people roaming on rangers recently because of their mobility and heals, but over all, they’re pretty much all worthless in fights unless they’re fighting really bad players with really bad builds. I build all of my characters to be well rounded with damage and survivability for roaming. Rangers are built for mobility and survival most of the time which leave them very weak in the damage department, then if they try to go bigger in the damage department, they lose a lot of their survival ability. Over all just not the right class for roaming in my opinion. Much better choices.

Try this variant …

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRApe8fnMdAtdglkCWhAEliFiA7N52cnuIngXwzzIA8B7ZA-TVCCQB55BAoP9D+Z/hop87lKBrwBBQhq/YtjAAAOBABAQA2ZdWn1Zw4Fv4Fv4FPXXn7cn7cnFCYxaA-w

This build takes away a lot of the big damage by dropping the “last blaze” trait in berserker line. Also lose essentially all of your condi cleanse by dropping cleansing ire. As I stated before, not a fan of shield mastery over dogged march for roaming at all. Dogged march is significantly more useful than making shield 5 reflect projectiles and have less cd on shield skills. Just not worth it when dogged march will remove movement impending conditions faster and will grant regen when it does. Your build is also significantly less survivable than mine is, you have almost 1000 less armor and about 7k less HP. If you get in to a 2v1 situation like the ones I posted up, you’d go down a lot faster on that build.

Also traveler runes over krait runes is a disaster for a condi warrior. You can drop so much damage on someone with your head butt from the krait runes and the traits combined with it on my build. My burst is very fast and works very well.

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

I respect your theory-crafting effort XTR but you are just not so good at it yet :/

I dont care about brainless condi spam builds but your beserker build is full with flaws. (true fact)

Also I dont understand why you keep showing us 1vX videos, I mean what do you want to show us? I can make a 1vX video aswell with a non WvW oldskool hambow build and reck people with it, but that doesnt automaticly mean that the build is viable.

Its like a kid trying to convince the other kids that his build is viable and ready to use cause he won a 1v2 with double longbow.

If your build beat my build in stats, viability, and diversity, then YES I will give you all the respect and I will use your build with pride.
But what you have now is a complete joke :/
There is a reason why I thought this topic was a troll topic xD

If you don’t like it, don’t run it. I’ve recorded playing with these builds and have had pretty good success with them personally.

There is no “best” build, every build has its counter. There are builds that utilize more crutches than other builds, which sounds like the kind of build you would run. I don’t need defy pain trait on my power build because the extra damage, to me, is more important. And again, I did not say my power build was for solo roaming, it is more for a small roaming group of 3+ people. The condi build shines a lot brighter for solo play than the power build, but with literally 1 change to the build in the traits, it would be good for solo. Essentially changing tactics for discipline for solo play.

Yes, you’ll do more damage taking discipline over tactics, but as far as group support goes, tactics works a little better for my small group. It is nice to be able to revive someone real fast if they were to be focused, it is also nice to share might with the group. Also having shake it off on auto from the traits is a nice little condi clear and stun break for the group. Perfect? Nope – but it works well for my group. Personally, I prefer my condi warrior over the power one anyway.

The builds have worked well for me personally. If you need crutches like defy pain trait to survive better, that is on you. I take it on my condi build because it is the best option there. Also like I said before, the signet of fury was for running rifle, I just haven’t changed it in the build yet to berserker stance.

Warlord.9074:

Not to in anyway be little your video, but condi warrior should beat Rev and Mesmer 100% of the time as you are direct counter to rev and generally mesemers.

Revs have very little condi cleanse even if the spec for it same story with mesmers.

The Guard fight was pretty good but even if it means nothing you had a NPC spaming Immob and Weakness, stuns and attacking the guardian you were fighting half of the fight helping you.

On the Contrary I believe that you are actually pretty decent at playing warrior, but I don’t think your phsyical skill, reaction time, tactile skill translate into theory crafting skill at all.

Rev has the most access to resistance of any other class if they run mallyx. As for the NPC, that was annoying. We tried going up the hill to make it go away while still fighting and it followed lol. The guardian was a really fun fight, I don’t know who the guy is but I’d like to fight him some more. Very close at a few points.

I highlighted a couple more of myself solo roaming and winning 2v1s on my warrior from last night as well.

http://xtremetheory.com/2016/11/13/some-condi-warrior-game-play/

There I have a few fights highlighted. One of them is a 2v1 win in a camp vs an elementalist and warrior. One is bursting a ranger down in like 2 seconds then a 2v1 win against a ranger and revenant lol.

I theory craft my builds based on what I feel in fights. There are times that I will swap out dogged march for shield mastery, but it really depends on what I am fighting. Over all, I prefer dogged march over shield mastery almost always, the only times I find shield mastery to be very useful in roaming is if I am fighting a longbow ranger, and even at that, those rangers like to do their forever immobilize skill that I’d rather have dogged march for anyway lol.

I built my condi warrior to be very tank with good regen and excellent damage. Is there room for improvement? Probably. Everything is situational though, there is no one build that is good against everything all the time. I opted to have what is best for me while roaming, which is this build that I have on my website.

http://xtremetheory.com/wvw-roaming-condi-warrior/

It is excellent for playing outnumbered in fights, but player skill does come in to play in outnumbered fights quite a bit.

https://www.twitch.tv/asphyxiaxt/v/100460207

Just a sample video of fighting on my condi warrior.

First fight in the video was a 1v1 with a rev that I didn’t even realize was chasing me – turned around on him and bursted down really fast.

Second fight was a 2v1, I think the same rev as the first fight plus a mesmer vs me.

Next was a 1v1 with a Guardian, was a pretty good fight until the salty mesmer came back, then when I bursted the mesmer, he ran, then a necro came in, I bursted him down and the mesmer jumped on me again lol…

Pretty fun little video for those who were nay-sayers about the sustain and damage of my condi build.

Tactics line for smaller group play is useful for leg specialist, the revive bonus and the extra might to the group. Easy to swap with discipline if you feel better with that. For smaller groups, having Tactics works well and helps keep people locked down. My group doesn’t run a whole lot of mobility stuff, so we have to rely on things like immobilize and stun to keep people in place.

Defy pain over armored attack is a crutch. I’d rather have the damage, warrior is tank enough without defy pain trait.

Also, as far as taking dogged march over shield mastery – It is free extra regen, less time spent immobilized, crippled or chilled. That vs shield 5 gaining less CD, gaining might, and reflecting projectiles and then just less cooldown on shield 4. Honestly not worth the difference to me. Like I said, my group doesn’t run a whole lot of mobility, so not being slowed down helps.

Also, signet of fury is a mistake. I had that on there for when I was playing rifle for the adrenaline boost for gunflame/killshot. I’ll fix that on there later.

The beta showed how powerful cannons are if they are placed on the right locations. It also showed how lousy the current locations of the static cannons are.

There should be a huge overhaul about the siege in structures. I fear that will never happen.

Why not make the existing static cannons moveable (golem speed) to specific new locations within the objective instead?

Player needs to take the time to fully move it & if the move is not completed…siege returns back to original place it was in.

Just be prepared to deal with the troll players that will move them to grief others though.

That would actually be pretty cool.

JQ is’t the server that is winning T1 without placing 3rd in any skirmish.
JQ isn’t the server that never dropped out of T1 since 2013.
JQ didn’t received several guilds on the first night it was open.

JQ isn’t facing Fort Aspenwood and Maguuma which are both essentially T2 servers at this point.

Blackgate recruiting more quality roamers. #BGroamerparadise

XT would happily transfer back if you wanna pay for it. We’ve paid too many transfers at this point, but we’re once again stuck in tier 2 where we don’t want to be. We left Blackgate the because of queues. We left FA because of the terrible T2 match fighting JQ and TC (two of the most boring servers) every week. Now SBI bounced in to T2 and we’re stuck with it again lol… We like roaming T1 and T3, but T2 is just full on garbage to try to roam in. Few fights, most people just run to the nearest siege weapon/tower/keep instead of fighting even outnumbering us lol.

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

Blackgate and Jade Quarry both opened because they were below the population cap. Blackgate currently has a smaller population than Jade Quarry and some of the combined linked worlds populations (combined linked worlds population example being Crystal Desert + Darkhaven + Devona’s Rest combined has a higher population than Blackgate). With all that being said, we do keep track of the transfers that happen. Since we have been seeing an increase in transfer behavior with the past 2 world links, we are discussing whether we want to change how we calculate WvW world populations or if we want to lower the WvW population caps.

I love this. They have less population than a T4 server link, yet still number 1 by a long shot and absolutely destroys their competition. It goes to show that they’re the server that has WvW figured out.

Your warrior roaming build doesnt seem solid enough for me.
To much armor. You lack in ferocity. And precision. Below 50% crit chance is lame.
Choosing Balance stance and signet of rage over beserker stance and outrage is something that I cant understand.
Why dont we see intelligence sigil for your axe? Im also missing sigil of energy in that build. Sigil of energy can safe your life man.
Im not convinced

Roaming to me has always been 1 to 5 people together. Generally I have a revenant with me, which means permanent fury, an additional 20% crit.

I’ve never cared for the intelligence sigil. Energy sigil can save your life, but I don’t rely on crutches like swap sigils. I’ve used energy plenty, it is a worth while sigil and you’re welcome to swap it out. I just like the air and fire for the extra damage.
