Guild Wars 2

they can just lower the threshold of thick skin to 75% or just replace it with something new, the trait is basically useless

i hope this works with my shout build, if my shouts can continue to stand vs other warriors after the update. i dont mind having the 30s cooldown because with vigorous shouts itll be 24s plus the 1480 healing. but i do believe they should remove the gain health base on the adrenaline because this can really be a down fall if youre on a tight spot and only have 1 or non bars of adrenaline.

i would rather have them remove the “heal amount is based on your current adrenaline level.” and the gain of 30 adrenaline to a simple shout of 9,820 health, 30s cooldown, and 0s activation. it can definitely be more reliable but then again itll be the next healing signet :/
what do you guys think?

i agree with earthshakers lag, is annoying and sometimes it doesnt even activate! other times i have to activate it up to 3 times in the same spot.
as for longbow, since im trying out this new rampager build i find the bow kind of slow or skills cancelling too often because im so use to moving quick and dodging with gs/hm.
lowering the casting time or increasing the speed of our projectiles could improve us warriors with our longbow. after all we are warriors and we should be able to be fast with our longbow, thats just my main concern

im trying out this rampager build i made and then upload a video to show you guys how i do…so far i found a 20606 war that beat me, tied with a hybrid engi, 2/2 won vs a guard and same guard beat my shout gs/hm 2/3, won 2/2 with 2 different rangers, all solo fights

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAscTjMd05ZjHWewJigqgC5iHAX01DpPhRIFA-TVSAwAUOBA+U/Zm+AxK/A8AACdEA8cIAAu/QblgECQxcA-w

I really like your build Dark! what would you say the key is?

@nikeEU: thank you for the tips!!!

Am I getting ready to pick up my condi weapons again?

and here i was ready for someone to talk snack about the build lol honestly is a rampager hybrid support build because it runs healing shouts. the key is perma fury and might stacking to increase both power and condition, the build on its own can easily stack 15-20 stacks. combine that with combustive shot—>arcing arrow and +3 stacks for everytime you land it. its great for soloing, thats my thing lol and small group roaming. the downside is the cap of power and condition. unlike other builds that only focus on one thing, they can go reach higher stats with stacks of might while mines doesnt because it has support in it

but its great for soloing and small group roaming just remember that, and condi warriors are not that good in zergs btw

i just came up with it 4/17/15 and im still testing it, so dont go and build it and then be disappointed if it doesnt work for you lol you can take a risk and go ahead though

im trying out this rampager build i made and then upload a video to show you guys how i do…so far i found a 20606 war that beat me, tied with a hybrid engi, 2/2 won vs a guard and same guard beat my shout gs/hm 2/3, won 2/2 with 2 different rangers, all solo fights

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAscTjMd05ZjHWewJigqgC5iHAX01DpPhRIFA-TVSAwAUOBA+U/Zm+AxK/A8AACdEA8cIAAu/QblgECQxcA-w

well theres no need for anything, same as i dont have a reason to run a meta gs/hm to roam. but have you seen a shout warrior solo like me?

wow im impressed :D you really got the got the hang of your build. only video i didnt like was the first one. where the 2 newbie thiefs just ate all the hits and cant believe 3 players couldnt take out 1 warrior lol they were just bad players even though you did well

when i use hambow im just not as good as you, i feel slow and too squish so i stick to greatsword. you see even though i sacrifice power and stances, my benefit is survivability so with that alone and somewhat of skill i can still kick butt with my shouts lol
but people just dont get it and i guess thats why they dislike my videos :(

vespers is right about thieves but eles can be caught from escaping ….well irk for the looks of your build youre pretty much full glass cannon and ima stop there because idk what kind of runes, sigils or buffs you use and those can make a difference. i hope your talking about wvw o_o and not pvp

this is how i see it, once you face them and damage them really quick. they soon figure they wont win the fight that way, so they rely on kiting, cripple,chill,immoblize or poison you to death and because you only have healing signet for heal and no stances they can over heal you over time

my advice is updating your build to something more common that warriors use and go a bit more defensive. i find thieves and eles to me some what easier for me because of my shouts to heal. so when they take their time to reset the fight, i heal with shouts and then is like what now XD

i find hambow to be weak in wvw or at least easy for me. as for shoutbow in wvw i have rarely encounter the build but they just happen to me bad players. ill see if i can make a shoutbow my way but ill first check out some videos of shoutbow in wvw and see if its any successful vs good players… if i can find someone who upload videos like that

pretty fair and solid since its full berserker with traits except for that 1 piece lol
makes me wonder when the build back fires though?
i like the video over all …..berserker>support/zerg builds if any from those group fights

i mailed you a link to a video cocowoushi, let me know how it goes :D

@TheNatural
thats what i was telling you because 2 warriors running the same build can support each other very well

Yeah people tend to test it first in pvp but it doesn’t even workout for me. ugh idk what is it about pvp but warrior sucks there

I only post videos of me doing 1vs1 because I want to give people a good view of how the build performs on its own. I don’t show group fights because let’s say what if friend or group is doing more then me and I’m just taking credit for it or maybe we outnumber them. I don’t do 1vsX videos because either I kill bad players or I get decent players and I even up dead really quick. So yeah I’m also not saving every single fight

Hey guys im still running my shout build
im not tanky, condis or shoutbow but gs/ham and i know there’s people out there who dont like the idea of shouts at all and underestimate the build.
well this last few weeks i ran into a lot of rangers and i wasnt planning on making the video because of that, but why not

Feedback is appreciated

i have the same problem, i find condi mesmer to be the hardest out of all the classes. i focus and try to keep track of them but when i get to them stealth and a new clone, appears somewhere and bang another clone, run to them and stealth before i get to there and did i mention another clone. next thing you know your skills are in cool down, half health and with a lot of conditions starting to eat you away.

honestly i dont even bother with that class anymore, when i see one roaming in wvw i just keep going to my destination or run from them. idk thats just me

i figure you burst them really quick or else is like getting spam email

I seen some of your videos and im not a fan even of yours, even though you do have a fan base. I main warrior and most of the time im in wvw so i can tell pretty much when someone is putting up a fight. Dont take this the wrong way but i wanna point out some things.

2nd fight – ranger and mesmer, the guys were very poor, you were wide open to the mesmers the whole time and the ranger barely even made a attack…that mesmer would have spam all over the place if it was decent player

3rd fight – warrior fairly easy guy, you can see the difference from the 4th and 7th fight with warriors

5th fight – thief, mesmer, ranger… thief gets down after you and friend double team him and 2 buddies just stand there watching , they jump in but its too late. mesmer looks like he was doing good but was being double team while the ranger was just running in the background and then double team… poor bad players

last fight – i give you good credit for kiting and taking down the power ranger while the elementalist was there obviously if you would have stay there when guard showed up that would have been it, good escape

Tibs.2783:

As cool as that would be it would require nerfing in its base form. If you changed it as is then you have have shoutbows with a 16 second Cd, 7000 healing (2000 going to allies), 4 condi clearing (1 going to allies), adrenaline building healing skill. It would be insanely OP. Oh and it would be instant.

this would be awesome for my build, ill finally get to use the #6 key
i can see this working, maybe just increasing the cool down to 25sec so with lung capacity itll be 20sec

I replied to your message … have fun

Sup dude, nice to see other people trying to run shouts, but no one really has utilize the direct damage shout builds correctly. Everyone else is too tanky, condis, “hybrid” shoutbow, or just slaps full berserker gear on it. Thinking because they use shouts they have survivability. Yet sometimes is not even about the build but the skills to be a good warrior and running other builds as well.

First check out my videos and get a idea of what is like to run a shout build at full berserker before you start making your investment into the build. Unless is too late and you just want to be more of a tanky support. Even though my shout build already supports 3.4k health, 330 power, 20sec of fury after 20 seconds and can even solo roam.

Of course if you friends who are willing to run a shout build as well then itll be awesome having people support each other. Unfortunately most warrior builds in wvw are selfish and only sustain their own ground.

Im not posting the link to the build because im tire of people giving kitten all the time about it so yeah :/

Link is below

is not the running that bothers me but running slow in wvw is just getting old and thats what we spend most of the time doing. I run a warrior greatsword/sword+horn for speed and it still takes a while to get somewhere.

im not asking for a speed hack from anet but just increase everyones running percentage by 10%.

basic running +10%
with swiftness +10%
trait or signet +10%
in combat +10%

shouldnt really make a difference in gameplay but travel distance can be shorten a bit and im sure most of us would appreciate that
Support just by leaving a comment, Thanks

Well that sucks to hear some players play like that :c
Is probably best you don’t then

are you Choxie808? i was expecting a warrior roaming, unless im too blind to see the 4th link

I wanna check out your personal roaming brah, lets see what you got! link?

Things not to do:

The things I wanted to stress in this guide, more than anything, is in this section. This build is not hard to pick up and play, but it takes some time to get to the next level. Two dead giveaways that you are facing an inexperienced Hammer/Greatsword warrior is if they are predictable and blow all of their cooldowns right away. The most common thing I notice with any Hammer warrior build is that most warriors will use all of their cooldowns on their hammer even if their enemy is out of range. The trick to avoid this is patience and timing. Wait until you are on top of your enemy to use your hammer skills and try to bait out preemptive dodges from your enemy before you lay down your CC chain. Remember to cancel your skills if you think they are going to miss. The second dead giveaway that you are facing an inexperienced Hammer/Greatsword warrior is if they are very predictable with their skills.

This is somewhat true and i have notice other warriors popping all of their skills while i just dodge them, usually theyre the not too experienced ones. if you check out my video [link is below] i do tend to use some of my skills when my opponent is a bit far away but theres a reason, i try to be a step ahead of my opponent and try to predict their next movement, doesnt always work but i do try.

No hybrid, just rampager with mix and match armor

EDIT:
is not rampager sorry, is more like Celestial and my suggestion is to just change the sigils to try to take advantage of Runes and added stability

When Warrior comes to pvp, it sucks. for whatever reason maybe anet nerfs warriors in pvp but shoutbow is a build that can somewhat stand a chance.

However gs/axes in wvw is decent, so that’s where that meta comes from. If you checkout YouTube for that build you’ll find enough videos to back up the build.

Also the build doesn’t win you the battles. You have to be very aggressive and/or kite often against different opponents to win. so it takes a bit of knowledge of other classes to counter then. dodging is crucial for this build as it almost has no defense

in pvp i have around a 80% chance of losing to a thief, in wvw i have 80% chance of winning vs a thief [maybe because of the open field or maybe because good thiefs go to pvp]. if i lose to a thief in wvw is because theyre most likely full zerker and definitely know when to dodge and counter. other than that i usually just stick with auto attacks, random dodges after like 5 seconds of going into stealth, prepare to dodge asap when they reappear, and sometimes random wide range attack. this doesnt always work though and sorry to disappoint some of you but this is the only way i can get around them.

and i also run a full zerker shout build gs/hm so this gives me a bit of a boost in health.
i tried running full zerker with stances 20606 gs/hm and i feel too vulnerable and kind of boring. either i out damage my opponent asap or i just lose to them. i pop my stances and i get ready to just dodge and attack. while with my shout build i can turn things around.

you should buy all the parts and put it together…is not rocket science and youll save a lot of money and be able to upgrade it yourself in the future. check out youtube guides for building a pc and youll see is not that difficult. if you do decide to build one yourself. I or others would be more than happy to help with the parts you need.

is not a big deal dude, the game was never met for first person. what anet did was kind of nice and is better than over mmos where changes are force upon players.

[suggestion]
you know when we turn around? it would be nice to actually see our shoulders in the direction we’re turning to and when looking down to see our feet. this is something that anet can do with just code and the camera.

giving a girl a kiss on the forehead :*

im guessing youre just doing pvp? didnt say anything about wvw.
well im not a big fan of pvp but if you want a balance with all 3 things you have listed then shoutbow is probably the best build for that.
i saw the link and the biggest weakness you have is mobility and condi removal…people can just poison and cripple/immobilize/chill you while they just kite or range you and bang thats it youre done. you can use leap but 1 dodge and youre back to chasing them again…..its your decision, youre probably already trying our your own build in so good luck and see if it works out for you

looks more like a tutorial for beginners
which is a good thing, i havent seen someone subtitle all the details.

everyone just talks about their builds and how awesome it is and blah blah blah. then they just show themselves killing newbies, a group ganging on 1 person, and rarely some against decent players

i played for a hour or 2 today and i first thought it was kind of cool but after 30 minutes in wvw i found this annoying and i wanted to turn it off already. too bad we cant so ill just log in tomorrow when server resets.

Sorry dude but i have to down vote for this one

oh wow lol this are your answers though so when you hit lvl 80

1. for wvw youre going to be basically force to use greatsword for mobility. other than that gs/hm or gs/axe s are the main wvw weapons

2. for stances, most people use Berserker Stance, Endure Pain and Balanced Stance or Dolyak Signet….unless you go with a different build like shouts for example

3. for pve just go all berserker [i dont really do pve so idk any best build for the traits] and for pvp shoutbow is probably the best build for that

Only yourself, but it will remove others condition and heal with vigorous shouts

dude what is this??
i watched the first 5 minutes and i had to stop, there was maybe like 5 up levels, theres nothing special about showing off up levels especially at the beginning of the video.

I ran a shout build and im not shame of it but man this makes me feel bad and i wonder why people are always giving me kitten lol i hate to say it but this build has really nothing to defend against a heavy condi besides shake it off with shrug if off, pop it and then what? hope you can land a burst to use cleaning ire and all warriors know thats not enough for condis. not to mention you dont have any stability, someone can CC you and hopefully Shake it off is not in cooldown to breakstun. Just click below and see the difference

and this is called for the moment of true and reality…there is no such thing as a perfect build, all builds have their advantages and disadvantages. if you can beat all or most warriors but just cant go over a hambow build, then just accept the fact that this is the build that can counter you. Sure hambow is not perfect and will get beaten by another warrior or class…this is all i can help with, if i did or not, sorry dude

not making fun of you but this is too funny... so youre telling all of us because you keep losing to a hambow they should just nerf it lmao

my opinion to all rangers is that they should nerf Rapid Fire on their longbow, power rangers can easily do over 10k with 1 skill in like 2 seconds and even if you dodge you still take more than half the damage

i think youre just a bad countering them or maybe these warriors are actually good decent players...One of the classes i cant never seen to beat with my warrior are guardians running medis and thats because they are good decent players compare to the last medi guards i have encounter lately who are not as good as the ones before.

so what im trying to say, just because you lose to a certain build doesnt mean you should just cry over to the forums and suggest it should get nerf. maybe you should improve/change your build

MrKrataus.6420:

well, you’re actually 1v1’ing bunch of newbies with terrible bad builds, and I suppose that a highlight of all your roaming stuff’.

are you serious? lol dude i try not to be like those over warrior youtubers who upload things like that. im sure you seen videos of how they just wreck noobs who dont dodge, break stun or do much to put up a good fight. I in the other hand feel better off and honest to myself with the stuff im sharing. dont get me wrong i do get wreck when i miss play or my opponent brings out the best in me and its not enough but…

however i do admit that the epic video that i just posted had some noobs in it but it wasnt them, it was more about the depth in it

I’m from Darkhaven server

McWolfy.5924:

Nice vid. Finaly not a noob pwning

omg yes! i hate that so much about other people , especially on builds. you try out their builds but never really seen to work vs good players

I kind of felt bad about my montage #2 because i didnt put any effort to make it and just threw a bunch of clips together lol. so to make it up i made this pretty epic one, definitely check this one out first

i use gs/h when i roam but whenever i tag along to a zerg, i also feel clueless. i go down to quick unless i use gs/lb. i use f1 for combo field, 3 then i go in with gs 3, 2 and maybe escape with 5. zergs vs zergs tend to use a lot range, combo fields, aoe and this is where the warrior gets in the cross fire and therefore “i think” we dont last often.
have you trief 20606? i also hope you use buffs as i didnt see any in the link

I really enjoy this build and I’m probably one of the few to still run a shout build. I come up with this build on my own even though a few rarely individuals have similar shout builds like this.
It’s not a condi or bunker build but a pretty well balance build, just check it out

Feedback is appreciated

so it is true, about not really gaining any improvement on fps… i currently play with all settings on high except for character quality and limit on medium, anti-aliasing faxx and native sampling with vsync. but when im in wvw and i join a zerg fps drops to around 30 fps and i was hoping this could solve this

first question, does gw2 support sli? I did some digging and people said 2 years ago that it didn’t. Can anyone confirm this as of today

Now I know you’re all like why the gtx 680? And why not upgrade to a gtx 970 or 980?
Well because I don’t really want to waste all that money on a new card when gw2 runs fine on my gtx 680 and gw2 is mainly what I play. So why go sli well because a friend of mines would sell me his old gtx 680 for $150. Second game I play is bf4 at 1080p and I’ll be able to play at ultra

my main is a warrior, i have played warrior, knight, melee, heavy class in other games and i like facing my opponent face to face and not run or hide because it makes “me”(you can feel however you want) feel like a coward.

i think anet nerf us warrior because the gameplay is simple and therefore it shouldnt have high damage + health + armor so compare to other classes that take more skill to play is a bit unfair. just compare two noobs fighting each, one with warrior and the other with another class. “i think” most likely a warrior would win in this case. therefore not a lot of players master their profession as compare to one who can master a warrior much sooner. so i believe anet nerf us warriors so that we can learn or improve our skills to prove our self if we are worth the warrior.

yeah i was in a rush and i was saving my wvw points for something. in the end i misclicked the small little box into something else :(

im not asking for a refund but i wish there was a npc who we can talk to or pay a fee to reset our wvw points

1.) Vukorep cover some on that but basically some builds are specific for dungeons/pve, zerg support and roaming

2.) yes we do, here’s some more info http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crafting

3.) also all legendary weapons and all ascended armor, weapons and trinkets are account bound meaning that they can be use with another character that you create

btw crafting ascended armor is too expensive compare to buying exotic armor just for the minor stat bonus and account bound feature

it would be your internet/ping timing maybe… even my laptop that has a 2 cores, geforce 630m 1gb of video and 4gb of ram can run gw2 smooth on low settings

btw link is from beta

i have a feeling we might get the torch, second following up by shortbow or third pistol.

anet has been nerfing warriors for a while and we havent really seen any improvements toward us. therefore i think we might not get anything good D;

To start of, the sigil of battle is available for everyone so is not like its exclusive to one or few professions. on top of that, might is getting nerf as well. so why even bother messing with it just leave it alone. this is the math before and after the update.
post comments below and argue in favor to try to keep our current sigil of battle.

-Present-
swap once 3×35=105
swap twice 6×35=210

-after update- approximately -47% less power and condition
swap once 2×30=60
swap twice 4×30=120

-if not nerf- approximately -14% less power and condition
swap once 3×30=90
swap twice 6×30=180

just a random thought, i know we have sunny days, nights and rainy days in gw2 but im not sure if we sometimes have cloudy days because in game it doesnt look sunny or night time so maybe we do.

my idea was what if we have new types of weather climates such as foggy days where we cant see very far, thunder storms to hear lighting strikes and thunder such as real life before rain falls, hot days adjusting the colors, stronger wind sounds etc.. stuff like this would make us feel more inside the game.

im about 2 days late to this but so what this is just outrageous! you call this balance anet? when i read through that page all i saw was “reduce casting this, reduce casting that, increase this, increase that” i only saw about 2 little negative things to other profession. yet on our last patch our adrenaline was a massive hit on us warriors and thank whoever we got an improvement on arcing slice but with a big sacrifice.

on this patch however theyre just going to fix our rush skill and thank whoever who made that finally happen but theres other things that need to be fix such as bulls charge and that little lag on earhshaker. this is just fixing our skills but still does not make up for the reduction of casting the other professions are going to get.

“this is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine…”
our rifle sucks! sure we are warriors and sure theres no need for a rifle but oh well we got one and its in the game might as well make the best of it. i was expecting a big reduction on kill shot because it is our burst skill. so anet please look up the definition of burst and then get back to us. no comment for brutal shot just fix something else instead.

last thing to cover arcing slice. its nice! however with all the so call balance changes ahead of us. this update might just put us at the bottom of the game in pvp and wvw. if you use a rifle then great you just got 2 improvements if you dont then oh well. for most of the warriors out there we appreciate our greatsword but this is not a game changer for us. we will remain where we are and even worst as over profession are actually getting good updates.

has anyone forgotten about our stances? how about we get some of those reduction casting of them. write your thoughts if i am right or wrong or speak up for yourself and others.
