Guild Wars 2

“Solid Snake” aka " Destroyer of WvW zergs" aka “best player world” aka
" Undefeated beast in one hundred 1v1s" aka " I wage 1k USD " aka " richkid5607 " denies to participate because his builds that carry him aren’t allowed.

lmao so many things on the disallowed. no way this is worth my time xD

condi thief and some cleric-druid easy spec isn’t allowed?
that’s idd sad.
better don’t participate then it could take some skill.

I think if Hibify and collero would have a son togeather, you would be exactly this son

EDIT: lmao

Is Shadowjedi the same legend like solid snake – “destroyer of wvw zergs”?

I didn’t insult you anywhere. I listed facts.
-You claim to be the best player
- NA players seem to not know you, Eu players even less
-The greatest player didn’t get any request from top tier teams
- The greatest player ingame has to ask new teams
- Your “duell me for 1krlcash” is pathetic

People would be more impressed about video material and esl/tournement-achievements of you than about these facts and some fancy stroy about a condi thief called solid snake who destroyed a zerg in wvw

So allthough you are the best player ingame you don’t get asked from serveral teams to play with them and you have to ask a completly new team?
Allthough you are the best player ingame playing on a NA server, even NA-players seem to not know you?
That’s good I guess.

Btw. the last NA guy who told in the forum how great he was, was a huge flop.
And you know, those who aren’t important are always the loudest to make themself important.

Also your “duell me for 1k” is the most pathetic thing I have read in the entire forum so far. Nobody would ever duell anyone for 1k rl cash and you know this.

Looks just inferior to the general gs axe build tbh. You are also super squishy but with less burst and damage output

Classes or builds that bring less success than meta builds do not necessarily take more skill or are harder to play.

Especally warrior mainplayers tend to claim that you would need a lot of “skill” to play warrior nowadays – I actually main warrior myself and I completly disagree with those kind of statements. Warrior has still one of the easiest mechanics ingame and does not automatically take more skill than other classes only because it’s bad now.

Simple example:
play without weapons and reckless dodge only. You will never have success against anything but it still doesn’t take any skill ( except pressing “v”)

So you figured out that scrapper can use rampage again which is zan using for 1 week now and you figured out that scrappers will be meta which is everyone saying right after the patch has hit.

That’s good I guess :<

Then I really don’t know which kind of players you face in your games but watching your screens allows me to take a guess…
Last season I won with randoms serveral times against well known premades, simply because of the fact one of them had to run warrior just for fun.

Probably reading your thread and remembering why he banned/blocked you.

Ross Biddle.2367:

Step 1: New build

Step 2: New playstyle

Step 3: Bring friends

As for me, using a tweaked post patch build from Season 1, playing the same playstyle, and not running any friends. Took a screenie for you.

1. New class
→ fixed it for you

No offense but we don’t have any information about your mmr,about your opponents etc.
I doubt that this guy faces better opponents than you do… but for those people who do, these builds will basically lead in a 4v5 just like every other warrior build atm.

RedDeadFred.1256:

Best:
Scrapper
Reaper

Good:
Druid
Dragon Hunter
Daredevil
Rev (tentative about this because it belongs here when sword 2 doesn’t bug out).

Okay:
Chrono
Tempest

Bad:
Base classes

Somehow worse than its core spec:
Berserker

the first accurate list in this thread, tbh

Don’t know how you can even state that it would be too early to say that warrior isn’t viable.
Everyone with a basic knowledge about pvp-meta should know that warrior won’t be viable right after reading the patch notes.

With shoutheal and soldier rune you have 6 additional condi cleanses thats far away from being enough against reapers etc tbh.

In the meta with shoutbow and medi guard shoutheal +condi cleanse was enough to handle condi and pure dmg pressure. Now it is just horrible.

-base heal from shouts should be 1500 + better scale with healingpower
-entering berserk mode should clean 5 conditions
-shake it of should cleanse 3 conditons (also for allies)
-defiant stance + mending should be merged
-to the limit should be instant
- there should be an option to leave the berserk mode whenever you want

that’s what I consider “buff” and not reducing cds by 2 s and increasing the dmg of useless skills

if you count the amount of buffs, warrior indeed got buffed the most.
sad thing is : meaningless buffs are still meaningless

it’s not only a nerf because the resistence can get stripped, it’s also a nerf because you will get damaged by every condition that lasts longer than these 9s

warrior was on the bottom of being trash and now they even buried him geegee

Warlord.9074:

have you even tried it? I havn’t. The berserker buffs look pretty strong though on paper.

ye I did. The berserker buffs are awesome and will push warrior back to top tier.
also no rampage nerf.

As I said we’re esports again guys

some dmg increases of useless skills, some 2s cd-reduction and a berserkerstance-nerf considering reaper will be meta.

I think warrior is esports again !

I thought online -“inventor of the orignal shoutbow”- “pwner of everything” -“bunkermaster against a thief on point” – was top warrior NA and Nr. 1?

#Thus#pwn#pro#I left Gw2thousandmonthsago

I think there are also other things that he doesn’t understand.
If I take a look on some certain posts of him about pvp and warrior …

Here is my TOP List.
Top 4
Warrior
Thief
Guardian
Revenant

Bottom
Necro
Engi
Ele
Ranger
Mesmer

His opinion is exactly the opposite one of those players who have already a lot of tournement-experience in pvp. Everyone of them are saying that warrior stays trash with the current changes -especally in a burstmeta and everyone of them considers scrapper, druid and reaper top tier.

It seems like he is completly delusional about warrior

Yes I’m super inexperienced with reference to pvp and this warrior trait

Pls stop.
Elementalist for example is far away from having 6 boons consistently so you never will have +18% average.
And yes as I said, this dmg increase sounds nice on the paper but it has no high impact in fact.
Your 18% dmg increase becomes pretty much meaningless when a lot of your skills don’t hit in pvp because of invulnerability and because of the fact that you can not stand in a teamfight long enough.

You try to make believe of this would be the kitten-skill itself, allthough there is no difference between running this or brawlers recovery with reference to warrior’s viability.

You clearly didn’t understand some point.None was saying that this trait doesn’t work.
We said that it’s influence is so marginal in the current meta that it doesn’t matter whether you take BR or DotE – both are equally bad/good. Damage numbers aren’t everything in pvp.

That reference to thick skin, tho
10/10

^

The only classes with a lot of boons who are viable in the current meta are scrapper, revenant and bunker mesmer. And even if you face only those classes you are far away from having average +18%.
Not to mention that this increased damage may look nice on the paper but has nearly no impact in fact. Especally, against scrapper,revenant and bunker mesmer, warrior is lacking massivly because of the amount of blocks, evades and invulnerability those classes bring with.

You probably could run both DotE and BR and you wouldn’t notice a significant difference that would make warrior not redundant.
That’s what I wanted to say – it doesn’t really matter which one of those two traits you pick. Their influence is too meaningless currently.

Destruction of the empowered helps as much to kill people as brawlers recovery helps to survive – they don’t – the benefit is marginal.

And if we are going to a more burst meta, warrior will probably be even more useless. Doesn’t matter whether you run DotE or BR. Dps warrior always has and always had a huge disadvantage in a pvp – burst meta compared to classes who have access to instant-spikes/stealth/teleports.
Last time we had a burst meta, warrior was in a “good spot” but not really viable, tho. You had to run shoutbow then which is already nerfed to the ground.
Guess how it will be now.

I still think that merging mending and defiant stance would be a good idea to create a decent heal.
Making Mending physical does not make it good – would be still a terrible heal tbh.

thief is atm still more usefull than warrior is
:<

In my opinion a nerf on bunker mesmer is defintly needed. It was too strong and you shouldnt be able to hold 2v1 or even 3v1 that long but they shouldnt completly destroy it. They should either keep bunker mesmer in a weaker form viable so that he can still offer great support with portal, timewarp etc or should make shatter mesmer viable again

Druid is indeed too strong atm.
But keep in mind that druid will become much weaker without cele and that druid has huge problems when he gets +1 in a powerbased meta by a thief/dragonhunter.
So I wouldn’t judge now without knowing the new meta and without knowing the whole balance patch.

EDIT: Marauder will probably be one of the worst amulets a druid can use.Even the sustain of a marauder scrapper is as twice as much

ALL of their skills take over twice as long to recharge at all times.

10s cd + an additional cd increase of 66% means:

10 +(10 × 0,66) = 16,6
16,6 < 20

try again

nec is still super slow, is easy to cc and has no real disengage opportunities – not to mention that nec will have a hard time in a powerbased burst meta anyways.
So stop complaining before you can you even see the whole new balance patch / new meta.

bunker meta is boring, nuke meta sucks and conditions are evil – I think we get it

let me guess, burtnick mains condition revenant?

If you aren’t able to carry your team or rather to contribute enough to the win, you lose – easy.
If your mmr is low and if you playe with/against randoms 24/7 you should get a decent winrate tho.
Not to mention, that the enemy team also will get people with non HoT-players. So I would suggest to Mr. 30k-achievment points stop to blame other people and try to improve yourself.

with reference to pvp I’m curious where the statement “headbutt > rampage and rampage is a noob choice” comes from.
I mean warrior is bad anyways atm but last time I saw a dps warrior in a serious tournement he did use rampage and last time I saw rom playing warrior he did use rampage as well.
Don’t know maybe headbutt worked better for you in soloq random matches but I would always be careful with general statements like that.
I can not understand how you can even suggest using headbutt in the current meta which is dominated from invulnerability-skills,stability on dodges/shatter,evades ,blinds and other conditions. Considering it has also a horrible range it probably misses with a chance of 75%~ but that’s a different stroy.

depends on your mmr.
if you have a low mmr and only face randoms it should be possible.
if you are playing against / with pro league players 24/7 because of a high mmr it’s impossible with warrior to get a decent winrate of 60%~ and therefore it’s impossible to “rush” legendary.

I mean to get legendary as warrior 2 weeks before seasion-end isn’t an achivement at all. You can have a winrate of 51% and you still will get there if you play enough games.

No offense, pre HoT it was still viable and a lot of teams used it – just not his “bannershout”

ahahahaah Ranger/Druid

10/10

He’s an esl pro league player from one of the best Eu teams himself. How can people be that weird to take his post on a serious note and claiming that he would be unexperienced to think that warrior would be viable.
Jesus… wake up guys…

If they want to create a decent heal apart from healing sigent they should merge mending and defiant stance

A nerf on gunflame is defintly justified. Filling adrenalin and spamming f1 with an unnoiceable animation is stupid af.
Warrior needs a lot of buffs but I dont want a warrior build which is playable for every new player who has actually no idea about warrior

@Ghandi bot your statement is true to 99% of the warriorplayers here but defintly not to argi. He has probably a higher mmr than you will ever get.
When I play with/against argi we are facing pro league players 24/7.

2.5/0.5 =5
Easy. Problem solved.

Still using gunflame

1/10

This is what you will get when wvw buddies try to make pvp balance
In their opinion everything which is not berserker is evil

and no your suggestion is horrible. I don’t want to see revenants with an amulet like that.
Further, pls stop saying viper would be superior to berserker/marauder in pvp – this is only the case when you are playing mallyx rev and reaper in some certain cases.
Berserker/Marauder is superior for Scrapper,Thief,Mesmer,Dragonhunter and Hammer/Staff revenants

I never wrote viper is superior. I was only saying that i am trying to play chaithh pistol pistol viper build … it is really fun to play , obviously it is not a tournament build . If you want to have fun seeing people nuked. .. try it . If you want to play competitive pvp … i think there are builds like meta scrapper more effective … Nades with grenadeer, incendiary powder and vipers really make a great damage… but obvioulsy i play it as stated before , as a “fun” build …

I never was reffering to you.

@ Juba I didn’t say that it would not be possbile to kill a revenant with this amulet, I said that I don’t want to see power revs with an amulet like that because it will be op af.
There is literally not a single reason to buff berserker amulet. And all your arguments like viper would be superior than berserk/marauder because it does provide 2 different stats of dmg, are kind of weird

Ofc you need additional dmg. But when 3 people are cleaving and 3 people rezzing, I rather have a druid who will provide slow and poison , who will interrupt 2/3 players consistently than having another scrapper.

And it’s not like that the druid wouldn’t have any cleave dmg itself. Avatar skill 5 alone is dealing 1k aoe ticks.

I mean I didn’t say druid is godlike for cleaving downs but he is far away from being bad against downs.

The point is with 2druid 2mesmer Necro, you have very weak on demand, power cleave Vs. Current conventional ways of reviving, ie, resistance revive via Mesmers.

Druid cleave mechanics are certainly not useless, but very different and more easily countered than the on demand melee/power cleave fields that are currently present.

I agree. In this certain comp the cleave would be horrible – I know that you were reffering to this composition when you said that druid had bad cleave damage.
But I just wanted to add that the druid in general has a huge usage for cleaving downs.
Especally when the mesmer-rezz is nerfed which is second to none, anyways

stability does not prevent slow.
and I can promise you that when 3 people are rezzing not everyone will have stability up.
If you say that druid is lacking cleave dmg, then everything which is not revenant or shattermes with gravitywell lacks cleave damage as well.

poison + slow is so much more usefull to prevent a rezz than all the semi dmg most of the classes can bring in the current meta.

how can you consider druids having bad cleave options?

1) aoe poisn with glyph
2) aoe daze with glyph
3)aoe knockback with glyph
4) aoe daze with avatar
4) aoe slow with avatar

apart from a mesmer-resistence-rezz ,the slow + cc is probably the best cleave you can have.
I would say that revenant is the only class that has better cleave opportunities thanks to it’s pure dmg output.

Juba.8406:

Never had an issue with them on my warrior.

In WvW I probably also would’t have problems against PvE-Druids who want to replay the battle for middle-earth
