Guild Wars 2

Yssta.8345:

The only thing I really agree with here is that they could improve the responsiveness of animations.

It is really weird when I have a game that has animation unresponsiveness, but it has happened. Some times there is a little lag, and makes my abilities not cast. But that happens very seldom. Other than that, I think the game is fine in terms of pvp

Yssta.8345:

What this thread amounts to is:

“I chose to ignore all advertising and opportunities to educate myself about the game and instead chose to naively hope that the game would come out exactly as I wished. When it didn’t, I was incredibly disappointed and voiced my displeasure on the forums.”

Waitaminute.

This…..
for the last time, adapt or change games…

have to agree with snadge, maybe it can use more different pvp games, not only conquest but that will come in time.

He is saying that warrior has crappy skills…dude warrior utility skills is like a candy store…OP is just not good or just trolling or I don’t know what the hell he is trying to do with this post….the game is so good in pvp if you have skills. I see everywhere elementalists complaining but I doubt they have any skill at all.
Have you ever fought a good elementalist as a warrior? they are so hard to kill with certain builds, they have mobility, tons of it, if you are dying fast as an ele, your build is completely wrong.
Have you ever fought a good ranger? they can harrass you like nuts.
Have you fought a good guardian?
Have you fought a good warrior?

Maybe you should ask yourselves these questions before coming to complain on a forum about the state of pvp.

Analyse what the OP said…he wants better gear so he can stay alive against a horde of enemies…that would mean changing the pvp game completely, it’s not what GW2 is about, so if you don’t like being on par gear with your fellow pvpers get the hell out of here….we don’t want you.

no need to be angry with people that played wow, but why do you want to turn this game into wow when you can just go play wow…?

is this guy serious?
no class is op…some builds are just really good at beating other builds. Im guessing this thief crashed against a warrior with a hammer and two maces and could not move or spam pistolwhip or heartseeker

Maybe you should play warrior for more than 2 seconds…and something other than greatsword…

As I said, adapt or go to your old games….

Yea just get out of gw2 go faceroll someone in another game, in this game pvp is about skill

pvp is real fun, go back to WoW please

if you hit play now the system searches you a game with similarly ranked players, meaning players that have done pvp as much as you

mmm something that could be solved by changing your build but oh well if you just want to do one thing maybe it is a good idea that they change the whole game…

kills= points, just another way to win

I don’t like raid of the capricorn because underwater combat is kinda crappy not because of the sharks

IF you want the downed state removed, the solution is easy, play a different game….this makes GW2 combat unique and it is an important part of pvp as well as pve.

nah, then who will they learn from? you?

Killing more should make your team win, nothing is stopping the other team from running as a group, there are some great 5v5 + fights if you run as a group

Genoc.5473:

Anyone else using hammer as their weapon of choice? I switched to hammer somewhere around level 60 to try it out in comparison to the more popular greatsword, and was really impressed with with powers it provide. When I later on switched back to GS, it felt like a total downgrade to the power table.

It might not deal damage as hard as the GS, as there aren’t as many traits related to hammer damage as there is to GS, but the interrupt, knockdown and weakness give unreal survivability in PvE when running solo, and the utility in groups is really nice as well.

I guess I’m mostly looking for your insight into this weapon that isn’t really widely used. What are the reasons why it’s not more popular than it is, is it really lot worse as damage weapon compared to GS and possibly axe/axe, etc.

do hammers + maces in pve or pvp and you are a stun machine. They rock at what they do, control. GS is burst damage, 1h sword is for bleeds, I ran with dual wield swords for a while in pve and they work wonders. If you spend some money and match the stats on your armor with the weapons you are using you will see a dramatic improvement in your abilities. like stack condition damage and precision with 1h swords or power and toughness with hammers builds are not just a thing for elitists, they make you that much better.

Lumines.3916:

General trend I see is that people who’ve only had extensive experience playing Warriors and not really dabbled in other classes think Warriors suck.

People who don’t play Warriors at all think they’re OP as kitten.

People who have tested their abilities across multiple classes know that Warriors are at an extremely good place right now competitively. This is especially true when you just think about how many more builds a Warrior can run that is viable in tPvP relative to other professions.

Well…I have only played with warriors and I love them. Love them since GW. I also think we are at a good place maybe one handed swords need a little attention since I can’t seem to make a bleed build that works as well as hammers, axes or greatswords. On that note, longbows are a bit useless as well, maybe not so much in wvw but rifle is just so much better in my opinion.

Why don’t you people take a look at Team Paradigm’s Moldran and his videos? I bet you could learn a thing or two that would help you feel a little less useless Google is your friend here..

his videos are pre-launch aren’t they….not that the build is not useful now but it’s not as effective

They’re also mostly HB builds against other Warriors or people that don’t know what they’re doing.

The build is still very powerful, last I checked. As for people not knowing, what they are doing – what do you think the current spvp scene consists of almost entirely? What other reason would there be for the constant and incessant whining about HS thieves forcing anet to nerf it, when there are millions of simple and obvious counters to it? People need to learn how to play. Warrior gets more difficult the higher up the ranks you get, undoubtedly, but for spvp, it’s still one of the strongest. People just haven’t caught on to it yet.

Shoosh Kentra, let them think that we suck….makes my life that much easier

I just vote for keeping the map as it is…

Plague.5329:

Made a similar topic a while back, but actually detailing why it’s a limited class. Take a look at their traits and it should sum up why, nicely. They’re almost all +5% if using a hammer, +10% if using greatsword, +toughness when using a shield, etc. They aren’t a profession that does things. They rely on stats way too much, which doesn’t work in a game that’s all about active utility.

It’s a broken profession in its very design, and will probably remain the worst or next to worst in sPvP for a long time. You can’t fix it without completing altering most of the skills and traits to actually have utility. Fixing the numbers will not do anything other than potentially overpower them, if you go far enough to make them able to overcome the hurdle of their utility limitations. That said, they’re one of the best PvE classes and possibly the best dungeon running class. In sPvP, though, they’re pretty terrible. It’s very easy to root them, get them to burn off the mandatory Balanced Stance they MUST bring (9.5s), then just immobilize them again, if they aren’t dead already. Their extra health and armor is VERY easy to burn through in one or two hits.

I really hope you don’t ever meet a good warrior, keep posting things like this and we get a boost

This happens to me when there are more than 70-80 people in the same place.

It’s frustrating and hilarious!

there is “rarer” pvp gear that I would guess you have a higher chance to obtain from gold chests

Schwahrheit.4203:

Yep support Warrior is just as viable as carry Warrior. The only thing I hate about Warrior is rifle and long bow is even more team dependent than something + Great Sword.

There is a really good rifle + axe/horn dps build that kickskitten and still has about 1300 toughness. it works best with the group but you can solo with it as well.

Screw the penalty, I’m not staying with a team that is not working together….and I’ll bekittenif I’m getting a penalty for leaving them…

mmm just swing your weapon at them, are they annoying? yes….should they change them…I don’t think so, you can interrupt downed abilities….
ooooooh really!!!!???

Schwahrheit.4203:

@OP

You clearly have no idea how Warrior works nor do you know the words “objectives” and “skirmishes.”

Either unskilled or ignorant, I’ll assume you are neither and is simply new. Warrior carries sPvP/capture the flag by using Great Sword mobility in capturing points/getting towards objectives AND using stability + Endure Pain in escape manuevers just in-case you screw up your goal. Dueling is a “learn to play” issue. Warriors aren’t that bad at chasing. I personally use Sword + Shield and Great Sword with Balanced Stance, Endure Pain, and Frenzy (Sometimes Signet of Stamina instead of Frenzy). I burn Hundred Blades + Frenzy with Balance Stance (If it seems like my Hundred Blades + Frenzy will get cancelled) when I immobilize someone with Flurry and if I screw up in Duels I simply just run away and regenerate via Savage Leap/Whirl Wind Attack/Lock-off Rush.

Now I’m not saying I carry well in games. I’m a very impatient guy who just does not like to work with people who don’t put any effort. Therefore I base off my claims on games where both people are competitive, not where one person is the only one doing work. SPvP is still way too dependent on human RNG much like match-making in MOBA games like DOTA or LoL.

Point being is Warriors have amazing potential in sPvP. You do not say a class is bad in sPvP when you have zero experience or have decency in playing the class.

Apart from plain damage, warriors can also boost and heal the team, control and debuff enemies. All of that while having awesome survivability. It’s all a matter of brains.

I don’t think the games are that short. They are only short if one of the teams is scratching their balls for the duration. In which case, I just search for a new game. I do hate fighting under water, too much graphical events going on and I can’t see anything. Other than that you get awesome gear…but you can use it as much as you want, it’s not like you lose it in the next game. Maps are small enough that you can find and kill the enemy team (or get killed by the enemy team) many many times

dude if you can’t play with a warrior in pvp then change class. Warriors are really awesome. Good damage, good survivability, tons of utility skills to counter CC, the warrior can do it all, I suggest you change your starting traits and armor runes XD

I see we have a pro here!
So please make us a video tutorial about warriors and their awesome survivability in spvp.
Oh and please do not edit the video, record a full game where you are the top player!

Cheers mate!

I don’t have to….look for Taugrim in youtube and look at his videos, he is a lot more pro than me…or just read your utility and traits and make a good build that makes sense don’t just drop abilities into slots…

Oh, so we can read the utilities and traits?kittenI’m level 80 and I did not know that!
Trying builds?? Can we??

(before you get frustrated, I’m being sarcastic!)

Everyone, EVERYONE, E V E R Y O N E tries different builds, combos, whatever in Spvp, mate! OK??OK!!!!!
You…really…knows….how…to….give….helpful….tips….

No not everyone, I’m pretty sure most people here are rolling with 6 runes of the soldier without using shouts in their utility skills xD

mmm nope…the whole point of this pvp is that everyone has everything at his/her disposal…low level pvp just makes things unbalanced…

All I can say is, find a pair of weapons that you like playing with and then build your traits and utility skills around them and add matching runes, sigils and jewels, then you will be all that better in pvp.

Stealthing for killing blow is part of the strategy/utilization of the thief’s skills. Now as to the class having blatantly unbalanced skills like Heartseeker, that is another question =) Also , thief attacking for 1-3 seconds while still in stealth before their target actually sees them, that is something to be concerned about.

You can be smart, if you see some red numbers, roll away…or CC or dont just stand there waiting for the thief to show up. If you swing your weapon it will hit him even if you dont have him targeted so ADAPT if you want a game where you know the rules then change games, dont make them change this game….

Only hate it if we have to finish a mesmer or a thief

Please don’t listen to whiners about nerfing damage, CC or any other things your game is awesome as it is….just fix bugs and keep up the good work

quit your whining you will kill pvp! you got killed? play better…! any class can kill any other class in this game, you just need brains
