But acid bomb and the toolbelt does not remove conditions
they should, its bugged i think
nice. anything that makes rifle not bad is good in my books
anet is going to have a hard time dismantling this atomic bomb
eh, i like how exclusive they are. more tournaments would be nice for more tickets.
There haven’t been any more tournaments, that’s the problem. The whole weapon set is inaccessible.
its kind of awesome that way. the weapons all basically say ‘i am a wvw vet who competed in tournaments’. much more prestigious than if you could get them with badges from eotm.
im jamming clerics shouts (ham axe/sh) and it feels pretty tough to me. sure, not tough like pre patch and those shout heal nerfs hurt but still good for playing.
So you run rifle warrior and get no kills huh? Shocker.
hahahahahaha. run a joke build get joke results.

this amulet used to be great pre shout heal nerf. duel intel sigils for the big final thrust or evis. base heals got nerfed tho, and now we get a measly 15k instead of the old 2k pre patch. shout heals need about 300-500 added to the base 1k, or better scaling. clerics only gets 2.2k instead of the old 2.5k which is a shame considering how much damage increased.
how utterly disgusting
its a risk you took when you decided to play such an awful build
i use clerics amulet in pvp on my warrior. however that’s the pvp amulet as gear does not matter.
currently you can change the stats on ascended weapons and armour for quite cheap, so if you end up not liking the clerics stats you can change them. zealots might end up being meta for rev anyhow.
why would anyone NOT want two handed battle axes?
same reason people didnt want Greatswords and1handed maces, back before the vanilla weapons were revealed publicly…
Number 1 excuse:
“WoW has Greataxes, so I dont want it! Go to WoW if you want GreatAxes”.Replace Greataxe with 2handed Sword, or 1handed mace, and you get what kind of replies we got back in return over on GuildWars2guru back before any of the weapons were revealed.
The Anti-WoW side of the MMORPG community really is a bad thing.
the fools! the mighty battle axe comes from the mightiest mmo of all time, Real Life!
it’s a 50sec cd. they deserve to die if they didn’t bring enough (one) condi clear.
‘if I can’t beat it nerf it’
personally, while i do agree that peak performance causes issues with rampage i think both of these skills at base are fine. they make teamfights exciting and can be countered easily. I’ve had a bunch of games lately with lots of lich and rampage, and never feel powerless against them. a good counter to these forms, especially rampage is to kite the warrior (easy hes full melee) while killing and safestomping one of his pals.
im playing clerics hammer and its working just dandy.
its a weak condi build with good support. clerics shouts with ham a/sh has superior burst from eviscerate (with intelligence sigils ofc) and heaps of cc from shield, hammer, leg specialist, and of course rampage. condi warrior is poor for teamfights imo, power is much better than bleeds and the occasional burn.
eh, I’ll stick to clerics shouts with hammer
dont walk thru the fire ring and bring some condi clear
How about just deleting the skills and creating something new entirely. Rampage already does/IS these physical skills. Rampage does stomp, kick and bulls rush (who cares about bolas).
Physical skills are bad because they’re a 1 time skill of the calibre that you’d see on a weapon skillset. No other class has such garbage utilities. Engineer has kits that each have 5 skills. Warrior has rampage that does these skills.
Delete them and create an entirely new skillset.
Or, replace rifle butt with stomp, make rifle skill 1 a 3-attack chain where the 3rd attack throws a bolas with his arm (good skill/animation like shiro sword) and change rifle 4 into kick which also applies vulnerability.
There, rifle fixed and physical skills fixed. They are now on a weapon set where they belong.
Now let’s make new skills – minions or something idk. Or meditations to be cool.
^ that
ele is mad strong. you should have some sort of cele ele on your team tbh. maybe even two.
fire field + 100% projectile finisher is a lot of burns if you’re a good shot. i use it in wvw on my p/p condi FT build.
to time to think got to be fast an aggressive. victory thru burns and stunlock
damage doesn’t seem that high when you get used to it. you get more out of playing well than you used to imo (because you get punished less).
im able to make cele engi and shout warr work in ranked.
In regards to cele engi, you are stuck in the past.
If you are nudging towards the power side you are wasting 2 stats, toughness and condi… Cele isn’t for engi anymore. Its okay on Condition based engis though.
HGH, rifle, rampage and 9 stacks of burning say otherwise
just integrate it into the banner trait. merciless hammer is good where it is. adrenaline is easy to get.
damage doesn’t seem that high when you get used to it. you get more out of playing well than you used to imo (because you get punished less).

peak performance is the issue not rampage imo
two of any class will kill you unless they are awful players. double endure pain will buy you time, but double zerk is not something you will live through.
use double endure pain?
shout builds will be using the shout heal
IP > Jugg imo. moar burns
why would anyone NOT want two handed battle axes?
Jeeze I don’t know what things are like on my server. I guess your right I just need to get in experience some wvw. I’ve been enjoying pvp and im thinkin I’ll enjoy wvw. I’m worried because all my Pve gear is berserker and I’ve been led to believe I’ll be an easy kill with that set up. I play guard, thief and necro. I Think it may be a bit difficult/expensive to experiment with gear in wvw.
it depends what you want to do, the builds for solo and small group are pretty similar, but it starts to change a lot when you hit 10v10, 30v30 etc.
EU,NA? Pfff here in Antarctica we have the best pvp.
Some how i sense a Palin or a Putin joke coming.
Putin would beat abjured
HGH + FT rocks for cele in pvp. ohhhh bby
I was running celestial before I read this thread, but I have since changed over to Rabid with Runes of Fire. With burning being as strong as it is and condition damage now being weaker until about 700 stat points, you really need that extra kick for your burns to hurt. And boy do they hurt.
This is what I’m running. It works quite well for de-capping, and puts very heavy pressure on 1v1 situations. It’s difficult to 1v2 with, but Elixir X is often very useful as a last resort.

not bad dude. would run carrion and an intel sigil, or just drop the rifle for p/p tbh. rifle is a waste imo with no power stat, and if burns are your game p/p is the dream.
I could switch to P/P, but then I would lose the immobilize and knockback from the rifle. I don’t think the CD on the FT knockback is low enough, even if it is an AoE KB. Do you think the switch would be worth it with regards to de-capping?
as i said in my edit, grab carrion and an intel sigil if you want to keep rifle. p/p still has an imob and mad burns. if you could land IA and blowtorch on a dude they would probably insta die tbh unless they cleared.
Hmm, alright. I’ll play around with it and see which one I like best. Thanks for the advice!
if you go p/p run sigil of smouldering for another +20% burn duration, and chemical rounds for another 50% duration on your pistol condis. that gives your blowtorch insane burning duration, and gives you +40% with your runes for IA and IP.
Hmm, so drop Juggernaut if I go pistols? IP is really quite good, so I suppose it would mean my survivability is based on my ability to kill them faster than they kill me. Should I try to replace the loss in stability from Juggernaut with something else? Elixir B only does so much.
i run without stab, and its no issue. IP is far better than jug imo. i run egun, and S with the traited S at 25%. thats three stunbreakers, and i got stealth leaps and blinds cc is very little issue if you can kite well.
i always recommend you play aggressively, never let the pressure down.
The Elixir Gun also has 2 elixirs built into it, so it actually seems to be more useful for HGH than an elixir would be. I liked Elixir U, but if they stun me right after activating it, then it is wasted.
Never thought I’d be earnestly running FT/EG in PvP and expecting it to work this well.
it’s actually got three elixirs built into it. Healing Mist, Acid Bomb, and Super Elixer all work with HGH. Egun is my favourite engi kit and i nearly always run it, but im so stoked that FT in finally viable. cool thing is both of these kits have blasts for the HT water fields.
i made a wvw p/p build and my blowtorch does 21k in burning its insane.
curse voice integration or something similar could be a nice half way solution.
skill requirement gone up alot, before you can play a dd or shoutbow and be just as useful as a good player.
now if you have no idea you get insta reckt, i like it when the skill gap actually means something.
same. its rad. people are like ‘warrior rampage 3 shot me OP’ and they dont even know the skills on rampage, then you see they ate boulder which has a 1sec wind up. the clueless get owned.
blast finisher heals scale with the healing power of the player blasting. so healing builds are even better at blasting than 0healing power builds, its why engi and ele run cele and zerg guardian runs clerics and hammer. why nerf healing and improve scaling, why not just improve healing scaling on class healing mechanics and leave blasts alone.
pve has awful ai and is mad easy, nerfing water fields wont change bad design.

Sorry if this didn’t work for you. Maybe you just had bad circumstances.But also almost every post of yours in this forum is kinda pessimistic and in negative connotation. You stated several times that warrior has no place in Spvp now , that warrior is only worth because of rampage and that all classes can beat warrior with minor to medium difficulty. I do not have these issues.
I won’t try anymore to justify this build to someone that thinks that warrior has no place in spvp. But i hope you change your mind about warrior spvp place in general.
Still i appreciate your input on this.
homes you run soldiers hammer with no Intel sigils. you are bonkers

my cele has the burning kick. trust me. Incendiary Ammo is doing 2800 per two stacks for me, and I’ve still got all the benefits of cele rifle (cc + power burst). sure carrion does insane burns, but you loose many cele benefits. it’s all about the aim of the build.

Soldier – wuot for so tank?
Mesmers.
It’s also more of a Hambow-like role with a bigger focus on CC since you don’t have to disengage or pop a defensive cooldown everything someone looks at you.
BigZan played a great soldiers engi in the last EU monthly. it’s a valuable build. just watch the games to see.
why balance for people who don’t know what skills people are using and don’t recognise tells? normally the complaints from these people boil down to ‘they used cc then damage OP NERF NERF NERF’.
people complaining about mesmers while not even able to dodge mirror blade….
forum logic
like every mesmer jumps to increase the range too. idk how anyone could miss it.
@choovanski
Engi was always a solid class, with many tools making it possible to deal with changing environment. All classes should be balanced like engineer.You didn’t get magically good since this patch – majority of other builds got nerfed to oblivion by enormous power creep. Engi will be always more or less okay thanks to the good class design.
never said i got magically good homes. just that i have to play better, you know like double blast my f1 water field an all. i didn’t have to do things like that pre patch because i didn’t need the sustain. i need it now, so i have to combo harder. it’s nice.
on the topic of nerfed builds, cele engi got hit hard by the patch. IP was moved out of explosives and and a bunch of other stuff were changed. healing bombs that used to be the base of my old engi build got deleted from the game, and bombs are bugged. i’m running builds that look nothing like what i was running before, and i’ve had to adjust my play a lot. old builds die, but new builds rise such is the nature of a revamp. abandon the old ways and move onto the new. i still see people trying to run old meta and getting owned, ya gotta move on.
engi has mad bugs atm. like bomb kit is unviable because of radius bugs smh

Improvised Weapon. “Grab the nearest ally or opponent by the ankles and start swinging through the rest.”
sounds like warrior on BDO. chain grabs and slams. so brutal. grabs in gw2 would be a dream come true.
the ability to wield an Axe two handed with a sized up model would be the most creamy thing anet could do. won’t happen tho, so i guess im just gonna be partially hopeful for duel pistols.
eyyyy. good luck with EU. i have quite a few people i queue with on NA (yes im one of those people who never solos) and we all TS if you ever want to whisper me in game (i got a highly swaggy cele engi build too, but it’s not going on the forums). ill get an EU account if they ever do a crazy sale again, or if i can find a cheap CDKey.
that’s what i run for m/sh ham. more cc (imob and fears) mo support. still debating sigils and perhaps moving back to mainhand sword instead of mace for final thrust and more mobility. i feel like if you are going to bunk you should run the AOE heals.
homes, you run soldiers hammer with no Int sigils… dude change your ways

You realize I was being ironic considering our server and those around us are dead ; )
thought you wanted new blood to revitalise the server. my mistake.
tbh you should just transfer to a t4 or above server. i used to be on a dead server, and the move was well worth it. i hardly miss fergs at all.
