Butter.3024:

So I should go with Engi instead?

I mean I really enjoy my warrior, don’t get me wrong. But I have to work about 5x harder than someone running condi engie that is spamming healing turrets or spirit ranger (lol…) to get the same mileage for my team.

If you play a masterful warrior and are part of a hardcore 5v5 team, you can be useful and helpful in tpvp.

If you play a masterful necro or engie you can faceroll your way to victory and carry pretty much any team in pvp.

Warrior is still one of the (possibly the) least-useful tpvp class in the game.

Also fyi, ele is pretty awful in pvp now too, mesmer is only really useful for their portal and possibly condi bunker build, and thief does almost everything a warrior does, but better in most situations for pvp.

What? Are you people farming centaurs during oceanic or something?

Don’t forget the skritt! There’s a ton of NPCs to go around to the 3 full q’s of SEA players in JQ. I hope they’re up to the increase in difficulty though, it can be easy to become complacent after so many evenings of autoattacking doors and manning siege against solo roamers running past their T3 towers/keeps.

I’d recommend JQ drop some superior ballistas when facing the veterens just to be safe.

Jzaku.9765:

>locking someone out for 4s on a 8s cooldown is somehow bad in team fights

I am fairly certain that is the entire point of defektive’s build

Too bad it’s hard-countered by things that everyone takes in tpvp: stun breaks, stab, and constant dodging from vigor.

As a warrior I will not be happy until Powerful Banners allows me to one-shot entire groups of enemies with my banner summons.

It doesn’t really matter whether he was right or wrong about healing on a spirit ranger. They are part of the meta, where as warriors are not. If a spirit ranger comes in here complaining about this build it is pretty lame. He probably confused spirit ranger with BM regen builds.

Yeah, sorry. Spirit rangers make excellent mobile homepoints as part of the current meta, and BM regen builds can easily top 500 HP/s, as can many other builds and classes.

Did everyone already forget what Warriors were like before the healing buff?? You could just wear them down in a fight, and they could either stay and die, or turn and flee for their lives.

You COULD move some of the baseline healing into traited stuff, for the same overall result, but then again…. that’d only pidgeonholes warriors into those very traits because they need them to survive. You’ll see MORE gimmicky builds that way, not less.

The reason his healing seems OP is because he’s also controlling you (and you’re letting him) which means you’re not hitting him all the time.

I actually have no problem with you having improvements to your heals, Just as long as you have to invest in healing power like everyone else.

If you check out this thread, you’ll see we are pretty on par when you consider other sources of healing and mitigation. Warriors don’t have the luxury of easy access to reliable regen, evades and heals attached to our weapons, or protection. A lot of us made this class work over the last 11 months, and we got pretty decent with broken heals. Now that our heals have been buffed to the point that a player can’t just faceroll against a good warrior, people are getting hefty doses of skilled players at the helm of a competitive class.

Honestly, I was surprised to see you in here. Even after all these changes, Ranger still looks like a really tempting class to me. Great regen duration; preci and crit damage in the same tree; 150 precision 20 points deep in the power tree; really strong sustained ranged damage; good uptime on fury; stuns, dazes, and evades tacked onto some of your weapons… you guys have some tools that are pretty awesome. If it wasn’t for lemongrass, I dare say my ranger would make my warrior cry.

You’re not magically kicking butt because its all skill mate…You’re doing better now because the overbuffed your class

We also have evades on your weapons like you have Block on your shield, Because you have Heavy armor (and more HP) you get less Evades then us…

I mean did you look a the class list there, You have one of the best heals in the game now with no investment.

Signet healing is actually one of the worst heals in the game if you are facing any type of real burst or consistent poison condition. It’s only good for fights that last a long time (i.e. 1v1 situations against bunkers, such as the ranger BM bunker that you like to run).

Healing surge was brought in line with warrior HP pool and functions similar to other classes’ heals given their HP pools. Also, if you don’t have full adrenaline the heal is relatively mediocre, and we need to constantly be emptying our adrenaline to do damage as a class.

Warriors are not OP. There’s a reason why no one is rushing to integrate them into their tpvp teams. (versus, say, necros).

JQ are certainly carried by their PvDoor in T2/T3, and even that is a tough feat given the quality of their NA.

40 dps is hard to do bro.

PvF tryouts mandatory for all players wishing to transfer to Maguuma.

CptHammer.8963:

It’s kind of sad that this game is almost a year old and people are still using the same complaints/excuses as when HoD was the dominant server after launch. It’s like you’re just copy and pasting some of these from old SBI posts. “They just have numbers, no skill.” “They suck in NA, only win due to sea/eu.”

Please continue to cry and beat the dead horse some more. I just pray to Jedsus that some day we can all move past such nonsense.

Or maybe PPT is a kittenty metric for measuring WvW accomplishment, and is still well-deserving of complaints.

Here’s some footage of JQ tonight when me and a guildee tried to take their sentry by NWT in JQ bl:

EDIT: I should clarify they weren’t running toward the sentry, instead they conceded it to us and ran into NWT to discourage my guildee and I from assaulting it.

This is what happens when you take people who have had to play for the last year exceptionally better than their opponents just to have a chance in any 1v1 situation in pvp. The margin of error of playing a warrior and actually having success at it versus faceroll classes like phantom mesmers, the necros pre-recent patch, d/p thief, original d/d ele, BM range, or any guard build was so small that if you made any significant mistake versus any of these classes you straight up lost, even if your opponent was just smashing random buttons on his keyboard.

What you are now seeing is warriors who have basically had to learn every other class in the game, and every viable build in the game, and perfect their own performance on different warrior builds get a sustain buff that is at least competitive with some of the other classes in the game. And now they are wrecking your face. Everyone else either quite the class or game a long time ago.

I want to be able to 1-shot condi mesmers with a banner summon at the beginning of duels.

Let me start by saying i have 5 lvl 80s, a warrior included and over 8.5k achi points so i have been around.

This is mostly irrelevant to your level of skill in pvp.

I propose you fraps some videos of yourself using this highly-effective build against top duelers in the game.

Why is this thread even this long? It’s obvious the OP has no idea whatsoever about how to play the game, let alone the intricacies of defeating certain class builds.

No.

If you want to protect your teammates, play guard.

If you want to heal your teammates, play staff ele.

If you want to have personal sustain, increase your damage output and kill your opponent instead of trying to bunker.

Oh man I want to be a part of the clusterkitten that is DB! Sign me up!

You could start by making the build.

It should reduce cooldown of banners by 2 seconds

Oni Link.4621:

deathTouch.9706:

Yeah you’re right, he did have CI too.

I said DotE b/c I saw increased dmg output when thief had buffs up that corresponded roughly to what would be expected with DotE.

I’m wondering how can you say that: DotE gives 3% damage increase per buff and they are not using steady weapons, so it may be the “fluctuation” of weapon damage.

Skullcracker and follow-up autoattacks hit consistently higher when target had boons than when he didn’t. It could have been random variance with small sample size but I still suspect it’s due to the bonus applied via DotE.

I also know defektive liked to use DotE in the previous builds he’s posted.

Oni Link.4621:

The third trait is Cleansing Ire.
Not sure about DotE, in normal situation I guess he uses Warrior’s Sprint

Yeah you’re right, he did have CI too.

I said DotE b/c I saw increased dmg output when thief had buffs up that corresponded roughly to what would be expected with DotE.

From looking at the video twice I’ll take a stab at the build. The general features are pretty much given provided it’s a CC build, and some of the other features can be elucidated by things happening in the video.

0/10/30/0/30 (could also technically be 0/20/20/0/30)

UF
DM/LS/X (third trait not sure of, but not mace or shield mastery)
VF/DotE/BM

Soldier ammy + berserk jewel as someone mentioned above

6x rune of hoelbrak

Sigils unsure except for Sigil of Doom on mace weapon set. Sigil of paralyzation likely on mace/shield set.

Saw a lot of crits with stunned/dazed foes. With no fury and unsuspecting foe that would give roughly a 62-67% chance to crit, so about 2/3 hits will crit if my guess on build is close. It seemed like defektive was getting more than 2/3rds crits on stunned/dazed targets which is why I threw up the 0/20/20/0/30 build as a possibility.

Build aside, main point of video is techniques and counters to thief abilities and should be the main point of discussion. Even an optimal build will fail if the player using it has no idea how to anticipate the moves of the enemy player they’re dueling.

No.

the more time you open field the more you help your server? lol

like the buddha of the homeless park

I don’t see what’s the problem. If a person excels at one aspect at WvW, shouldn’t he be concentrating on that aspect? Or do you want the cream of your fighting force running supplies?

if only everyone was too awesome to run supplies

You’re beyond saving. I make a video encouraging small-mans to help the server, and all you could find to say is this. More and more, I lose the will to even care slightly about my server because of all the unnappreciation for the effort groups are doing.

It seems like all they want these days is people to zerg around like sheep, or otherwise deemed trolls.

maybe if you spent less time trying to be noticed, and more time contributing, yall wouldn’t be underappreciated?

PS. We did find it funny after we had some good fights at SS camp today at YB with some NS human thieves and asuran engineers (even though NS outnumbered us and ran to their camp…we expected this though), and we managed to come out with a victory despite them constantly respawning and running back to said camp…they then invited themselves to our party to complain and trash talk us.

Staying true to DB, after losing the SS camp they joined up with a passing-by DB zerg to steamroll the camp and SET.

When one of our party members went and dueled one of the NS asuran engineers and happened to win, the engineer started PMing this member and trash talking him. Of course we don’t really care because we don’t have glass self-confidence like some people posting, but just wanted to throw that out there so no one gets any misconception about whether the trash that goes on in wvw is one-sided.

1 NS theif 3 NS engi’s (Who just got to 80 and don’t know kitten about the class) vs 7-10 iLL + Swag. I was the engi who dueled the Swag dude and u are saying I was kitten taking? all I said good fight lets go again? and he said he had to go. Yeah go make up stories else where kid.

Rofl we had 1 party with 4 people, that’s how your party request was able to come through without getting rejected for party being full. And you had at least 2 thieves, all trying to heartseek the crap out of us but failing miserably. The attempted refuge rezing was hilarious too. One goes down, two goes invis, three pop up downed.

I’m sorry the guards couldn’t help you out more. Should have flash built an AC or something. Has being in DB taught you nothing?!

Assuming that the whole DB server is full of “cowards” because you haven’t encounter “roamers” or people that would 1v1 you, is pretty absurd and disrespectful. Something to keep in mind when making such accusation, you’re fighting a T2 server that has a larger coverage than yours, and chances are we will always outnumber you in the field, and days like this will happen: http://i.imgur.com/Fie3isV.jpg. I honestly find it pretty unfair that you guys got such match-up against us, but we’ll see how Anet adjusts the system in the future.

I roam most of the time when I’m not doing GvG with my guild [NS], and I know a lot of good players from Db that roam and love to 1v1 just as much as I do. The other day I was dueling some people from Mag behind the mills (Swag guild I believe?) and there was this shatter Mesmer who beat 2 people in front of me, so I decided to duel him after. I won (didn’t finish him) and next thing I know, I had like 5 people jumping me and the whole thing turned into a zerg fight a couple of minutes later. Was pretty ridiculous.

But aside from all that, I just wanted to say thank you [PYRO] for the GvG! We had a lot of fun, and I hope to see you guys in the field again! Wish ya luck in your future GvG’s.

Here’s the video from last night GvG:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vih3m8ukRdA

Cheers.

Would you say your server should have more or less cowards than FA or SoS?

Because everyone I’ve asked says pretty much every server has noticeably better roamers who actually fight without siege.

We’re not saying you have more total cowards than a server like TC (even though I suspect this might also be true), we’re saying you have a disproportionately high amount of cowards for your server pop.

BTW doesn’t NS ever feel a bit alone in the sea of crap that is DB?

Hope that clears things up.

I don’t know the reason behind your bashing, nor really care, but it seems you have a lot of anger towards Db. And to answer your question, no, we don’t feel that way at all. Db is a very competitive server, and very organized when it comes to WvW. We have good Commanders, and players that listen and follow their lead.

Here’s a good example – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouauvgbw59o
In that video we [NS] go balls deep against bigger numbers than us, and yet managed to win. We managed to hold bay for a few hours, despite the differences in our numbers (we were only like 20 of us, plus a few pugs).

To me it seems you are very confused about the concept of WvW. The aim of WvW is to achieve a higher war score than the opposing worlds by the end of a week of battle. It is not based on individual player skills (roamers), or such, but score between servers. As I previously mentioned, this match-up was very unfair for you guys due to our differences in coverage, but even so, is very disrespectful and childish to say things such as “Db is crap, full cowards, etc”. We went against Blackgate and Jade Quarry last month, and BG got a huge lead in scores for obvious reasons between our numbers. In the end, it was a really fun match-up for us despite ending in 3rd place. We learn a lot from them (t1), and it was very competitive. We didn’t bash them, we didn’t call them cowards because they had bigger zergs than us.

Anyways, I wish you all luck on your next match-up, and hope you guys get an even fight after reset tonight. If you fight a larger server than yours, learn from them, don’t be discouraged and never give up. Remember, the point of a game is to have fun.

Have a good one everyone. Cheers.

What guilds would you say even come close to NS in terms of organization or personal skill on DB? Because I don’t think they exist.

And it’s not just one person from one server who thinks DB is lacking in terms of skill. It’s a number of people from both servers.

YB players at least can stand their own with semi-even numbers, and obviously don’t rely on siege as much since their land is constantly being reset by 80 man DB zergs. The siege spamming DB has done this week is absurd.

Sup ballistas in fully upgraded camps to defend against groups of 2-3? Really? Do skilled players need superior ballista support in addition to fully upgraded guards just to defend against inferior numbers?

zastari.1730:

I’ll take any T2 server over Dragonbrand next week. At least FA and TC aren’t complete garbage and have a roaming population that’s larger than 0 people. The only saving grace DB has is [NS]. Other than that it’s a bunch of terrible zerglings that run when the fight is 5v10 and chase 50v5 for 10 minutes straight.

Wow! You seem like a great fellow who has had an experience with every single DB player on our server. I am so glad you didn’t completely base your opinion of a sample population of those you have encountered. 10/10 Quality post would read again.

The forum needs more people like you. /salute

It has nothing to do with sample size and everything to do with nearly all DB simply don’t fight other people unless they have enormous numbers advantages.

The people I roam with have coined this phenomena the “DB Critical Mass”. It’s the theory that DB won’t engage an enemy force unless the probability of losing the battle is practically zero due to numbers advantages.

Here’s some examples I’ve just acquired within the last few hours:

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x67/Ignition_photos/DBWvW_zps598248dc.jpg

Approach a group of three players (NNK asura is not pictured as he’s behind one of the buildings to the left of the photo). Upon seeing three of us they, without hesitation, burn all their mobility skills to get to the fully upgraded camp pictured here. One player mans the Superior Ballista and starts shooting at us as we approach. Another player mans the AC nearby in the camp. Two more DB players show up shortly afterward and sit in the camp, and begin /laugh and /beckon emoting.

http://s186.photobucket.com/user/Ignition_photos/media/DBWvW2_zpscb25696c.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

A small roaming group of 5 engage about 12 DB at SWC on the pictured BL. We managed to kill 5 or so DB as all 12 attempt to sprint away from us and into the fully-upgraded keep shown above. The 7 remaining DB man the cannons, ACs and (for some unknown reason) the burning oil. They attempt to kill us as we fight a few DB taunting us within their guards and wait until a group of 40+ DB come rushing over the wall 2-3 minutes later and chase us away.

This isn’t the exception when fighting DB, this is what happens every single time at all points in the day.

Yes, it’s this thread again, but only because no one has improved warrior downed state yet.

Our downed state is atrocious.

1) Rock is w/e

2) Hammer toss is awful. It’s a single target knockdown that can be affected by blind, missed if the target stealths, countered by stability, or countered by more than one person stomping, regardless of if they use stealth, blind or stability. This is in direct contrast to other classes that have stomp immunity (Thief, ele, mesmer) to these situations with their #2 ability or partial protection (such as the guardian’s AOE knockback).

3) Vengeance is bad. Maybe once in every 10 downstates or less you actually get to use it since at least one of the conditions listed above are usually true when you are downed. When you do get to use it, the only objective for the enemy is to kite the warrior until death, which is not hard to do unless they have no HP and are out of stunbreakers and have somehow forgotten how to use their stuns, cripples, immobilizes, chills, dazes, teleports, dashes, blinds etc. Then, if you don’t have it traited (and no one traits it since the trait is in a bloated skill tree anyway) you have to get lucky in order to survive killing your opponent. In about 1500 hours of playing on my warrior I can probably count on two hands the number of times vengeance has made a difference in an actual fight against another player. And probably count on one hand the number of times I have gotten lucky and survived said encounter after killing them.

Proposed changes:

1) If you are going to leave our #2 ability to be as awful as it is, the least you can do is get rid of Sweet Revenge and include it as an automatic passive of the #3 ability, meaning you get to survive if you can manage to kill someone after somehow avoiding their stomp and then somehow killing them with vengeance.

2) If you are going to leave vengeance as awful and unreliable as it is, then (at least) give us some kind of AOE interrupt that can’t be affected by stealth or blind to bring our #2 ability into line with others.

Dragonbrand run head first into arrow carts. So Strong, so Brave.

I one day wish to be just as great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGRMhVMkQG0

It isn’t a matter of player skill—DB just isn’t equipped to handle towers with actual people defending them. Most of their players are specced for maximum deeps when facing doors and minimizing flash-building time of arrowcarts in open-field engagements.

Have you seen [BURN] recently? Open field fighting is pretty much all we do, and we never run because its good skill group practice…

I hate to be ‘that guy’, but members of your guild do in fact run away.

I hate to be “that guy” too, but if your in a big Zerg and you run into a couple people in a camp, and they don’t stay and fight… I honestly don’t consider that running, more like putting the repair costs into a savings account for later.

I’m not in [BURN] but I do know that they don’t mind going into a fight undermanned.

As far as Yaks goes.. this is all I ever see them do.

http://youtu.be/7ixlnsMqT2M

That YB guy who ran down the hill must be a very recent server transfer to YB. I’m sure he’s learned by now though.

My experience with FA is that individual skill of players and guilds are quite lacking. Once they face opponents with similar coverage they perform very poorly.

Because you enjoy a challenge.

Sounds fun.

Thus it’s clearly inappropriate for the warriors have it.

Copenhagen.7015:

I agree that sometimes burst Warriors can really catch you off guard. The problem I find is that if you cannot finish your opponent quickly, you are screwed. There is no resetting fights or buying time in the way that Mesmer and Thieves can. Usually when burst Warriors get the drop on me, I’ll drop below 50% very fast, but I still manage to come out on top. They’re still very easily kited. If Cleansing Ire cleared condis without requiring your burst to land, and when Berserker Stance and Warrior healing gets a buff, things might be different. I personally run a sustain build. I can win most 1 v 1s, but there are still very good players with certain classes that I can’t beat.

Block, evade, dodge, stealth, blind, teleport. In order for a burst warrior to do damage, none of those conditions can be applied during the period of time the warrior attacks.

That’s not even taking into consideration the effects of cripple, immob or chilled.

Telegraphic moves of almost every major ability of every weapon set compounds the issue by allowing the enemy a period of time where they can react to apply one of these conditions if they don’t already have one applied.

Good players would know that it would proc at 75% and not blow all their CDs before you reached 75% hp.

Then if it would proc, they’d wait it out and burst you after knowing that it’s down.

It would be pretty much useless against good players.

^most classes are reduced to about 30-40% hp from initial burst, then alt wpn bursts can either finish or nearly finish. As far as I’m concerned endure pain and dogged march plus mobility give plenty survivability.

That’s great.

What’s your name?

You’re acting like you need some sort of pve/wvw guru to figure out whats currently important to players in the game when a 1 hour search in general discussion/wvw threads would suffice. This isn’t exactly conceptually difficult work.

You can’t be serious. That’s like learnin to play a class by reading the class forums.

Because understanding that 800 post threads might be important issues in the community takes a lot of brainpower and skill.

Players are unsatisfied with matchmaking for wvw. I could easily come up with 10+ questions in about 5 minutes related to that.

The work might be conceptually difficult for you to wrap your head around, but for any normal person it is not.

And what exactly makes you think you will get a whole new array of answers to these questions just because you are asking them in a video instead of a forum thread?

Because you ask them exactly which questions to which you want answers, rather than allowing them to choose which questions they want to answer and which they want to ignore. You can press for more details. You can follow-up directly with new issues that they bring up.

The agenda is set by the community and by the hosts, rather than by the devs.
