Guild Wars 2

Thank you Anet.. =)

I’m happy about the recent Warrior changes.. Warrior at the moment is in a decent place compared to the mess it was when HoT came out.

I agree about polishing dead skills and traits though, it will open up diversity in gameplay, would rather see that than another elite spec.. should be done for all classes not just Warrior.

Just can’t believe there’re people complaining about these great changes and freebies.. o____O

It doesn’t just improve for them, it improves for us (the people who slaved through the GW2 depression =p) as well.

My suggestions (BAM problem solved):
- Just roll a new character, use the boost on it, then delete it, with all the free items inside. xD
- Do the dailies, etc etc for gold.. then donate them to some random newbie in the starting zones, you’ll at least make someone’s day. You can also donate the gold to me I won’t turn it down.. *cough cough.. ^____^

It all looks good, much better than anything we’ve seen lately for the Warrior class, I for one am happy.

A lot of work actually came into this patch, from balance to polish. I for one am happy with the changes.

Thanks ANET.. awesome patch, from polish to balance and so much more. I for one am happy, specially with the balance changes.

You are easy pickings for the zerg obviously.. I doubt its anything more complicated than that.. as a roamer you should be avoiding the zerg or even small roaming parties.. and not the other way around right? =p Unless you can take them corz.. >____<

The changes are so underwhelming.. 2,673 hours over 640 days on Warrior is just too long a wait.. buhbye GW2 hello again Terra Online.. >____<

To be honest, I believe a simple merging of servers would suffice in fixing our problems with WvW.. It’ll be rough at first and would probably feel like a hard reset.. but will eventually balance itself out in the ladder. =)

Nonetheless there are a lot of innovative ideas in there and it would be nice to see some good ideas put to use, as long as “everyone finds a place they belong” (ranging from competitive gaming to casual roaming and squirrels) then two thumbs up.

Charr Eyebrows is protruding through Mistward Headwrap, I was really looking forward to wearing this too.. this among the many problems with Charr and their armors. =/

I really hope they fix it.. its really an iconic set of armor.. =D

What happens when you change the stats on the ascended weapon you get from the Elite Specialization Collection using the Mystic Forge?

If you put for example a Dark Harvest or a Reckless Abandon in there will it come out as one of the Antique Ascended Weapons?

Hi, the Warrior Torch skill Blaze Breaker was stated to hit 5 times and apply a stack of Burning and Cripple each time.

Yet it only ever hits its target twice.. from point blank range to mid-range, it only hits twice on the same target, and only hits once at max-range.

I was wondering if this is a bug?

They should really make a solution for this.. its downright irritating, to get kicked out of Dragon Strand 8/10 times after doing the lengthy pre’s.. It happens everywhere else as well not just Dragon Strand.. No lag, no nothing, screen simply stops and you’re kicked into the login screen with error code 7:11, its irritating, a complete waste of people’s time.

They could at least guarantee people to be able to log back into the same map instance for example in a 10-30 minute time frame.

I just received points counting to the achievement Champion Paragon from winning an sPvP match as a Warrior.. o____O

I don’t have a Guardian so.. =D

Ah.. thanks for the info.. =)

Hi, I was playing around with my stats and I noticed that after raising my Toughness around 2061-2411 (around 300+ points) my Condition Damage still remained the same..

For further info I raised my Toughness by running Dolyak Signet and Banner of Defense, I was playing around with my slot skills.. maybe a skill related thing? Because when I removed armor pieces and jewelry my Condition Damage went down a proportionate number..

Is there a cap to the 7% bonus Condition Damage we get from Toughness through Rune of the Undead or is this a bug related to slot skills? Thanks.

lighter.2708:

not sure why are you guys arguing, berserker is kitten end of the story.

Yep.. let’s keep that to ourselves though, He’s overpowered and we’re all terrible at the game.. =p

Sarcasm aside, I was being constructive citing flaws and was hoping for realistic, factual answers to the build’s viability, not cherry picked facts from delusions of grandeur, and definitely not going around calling people’s opinions and ideas garbage.

Berserker isn’t really that bad.. just needs some tweaking for PvP.

I mean PvE wise its become so much better. Anet showed some love, did a few tweaks here and there, then power builds are suddenly able to capitalize on the Berserker trait line, contrary to release.

Berserker is simply in a bad state in PvP at the moment, specially in comparison to all the other elite specs no contest there.. and warrior as a whole is currently suffering.. old dog in a world of Revenants, Reapers, Dragon Hunters, etc.. =/

Also note that Speargun does horrendous power damage across attacks 1-5 anyway.. =/

I don’t see burning underwater “fitting” the theme, maybe bleeding on attack 1 and more bleeding on the rest..

Then again the primal burst does burning underwater so meh.. slap anything onto it.. =D

On topic, I think we have plenty of options already, I don’t think more weapons would make us OP we can already equip 12 types of weapons not counting some main-hands into off-hands. We can only equip 2 sets anyway..

Would like an upgrade on the Mace to make it a condition weapon un-traited though.. I mean whacking people with blunt objects screams confusion why not incorporate the current trait lines into the weapon and opening up more build options in traits.. =D

Warhorn also comes into mind.. thing could really use some love.. *sniff.. =/

Rekt.5360:

Bolas is garbage against anybody who can strafe or is far enough to see it coming. It absurdly easy to dodge if you’re not in melee range and if you’re kiting, since you mention kiting you should be aware of how bad bolas is vs kiters. 3 condis every 2.5 seconds is amazing…I have no idea what you’re talking about, find me another class who can cleanse condis faster. Compared to normal warr’s 3 conditions every ~7 seconds with burst skills that are often more susceptible to kiting and/or telegraphs it is way more reliable, it’s not even something to compare.

Really, have you TRIED playing a berserker build at all? Because from those comments I’m getting the feeling you’re either not trying it at all and spewing back what others (many of whom also haven’t experienced it nearly enough) say. As for overly exaggerated numbers you can easily run the build I’ve linked above and see for yourself. The numbers are far from low given the consistency you can pump them out at. Asking primal burst skills to deal as much damage or more per usage compared to regular bursts (not that its something you’re explicitly saying but I see this everywhere so this isn’t specifically meant towards you) is absolutely kittened and shows how much people are clueless. You can’t have a 2sec AoE stun every 2.5seconds, nor a melee single hitter than can go as high as 10k in SPvP if you have a decent amount of might, nor a 3 sec single target stun every 2.5seconds, nor a killshot at the same cooldown. THAT WOULD BE BROKEN! Yes, the caps are needed because it’s beyond me how some people suggest that primal bursts should be “better” than normal bursts.

From my comments you say I haven’t played Berserker at all.. I’m such a terrible player too, from yours I see that you’re pro, you’re probably ruling the sPvP scene with your Berserker and are very famous and competitive, because everyone else who plays it is just bad and you can tell by their comments alone that they don’t even play the class and don’t put in effort. You made berserker work.. to the point where it is broken, hurrah for you then.. grats. =)

I made bolas work by the way, so have many other people I know, they’re a great 4sec cc and at low cd, nice to slot sometimes. Guess what, we don’t necessarily have to cast it from range so we actually catch people off guard much the same as how we land Bull Charge against any decent player who know their dodges!! but I guess we’re all garbage how sad..

*snicker..

Have fun in your world of pretend fights.. =)

Rekt.5360:

You still slot endure pain and berserker stance…outrage is a far better stun break than balanced stance. I mean bolas, for PvP really? I run Bull’s on my GS/axe+shield war when I don’t slot berserker…but I honestly find headbutt much better at the job, the CC is longer, the animation way less obvious, and its an instant adrenaline refill, the CD is also 12 seconds lower assuming you’d take peak performance with bull’s.

Headbutt is unreliable.. I can see creating openings for it against melee opponents or anyone inexperienced enough to stand toe to toe against a warrior, but when pitted against any decent player behind kiting classes.. its laughable. We are more likely to gain the 3 bars of adrenaline from getting smacked around while looking for an opening to Headbutt than with actually using Headbutt..

Outrage is awesome, a great skill to be sure, a stun break and small adrenaline buff every 10 seconds that burns if traited..

2 skill slots dedicated to getting 3 adrenaline bars.. I get that they have uses but even their uses pale compared to what our other options provide..

Yes bolas really, they are decent, you’d be surprised how effective they can be, and the cooldown is short so it has quite a high uptime.. people have actually run it to great effect..

Rekt.5360:

berserker mode brings much more superior condi cleanse (u cleanse 3 condis every 2.5 seconds literally, find me another class that can do that) and anti-cc tools. As well as more CC since a few of the primal bursts daze or immob, don’t forget headbutt too.

Superior condi cleanse and anti-cc tools.. 3 condis every 2.5 seconds..

Ok now.. given anything can happen in a fight and player skill levels are in order.. and at the most ideal of scenarios for you. Maybe.

But realistically though.. are these things you are stating as good as you are making them out to be? Sadly no, and fights are dynamic to boot.. your numbers.. are overly exaggerated.

I won’t argue that.. nobody is forced to slot Berserker.. I think what people are primarily complaining about is that Warrior has lost its place, it is in a pretty bad spot at the moment.. just severely lacking in a lot of things.. and either does not excel or is sub par compared to what the other classes can do.. What exactly does Warrior excel at that outshines other classes and defines Warrior uniquely as a class..

The design seems overly restricted and tunnel visioned at the moment.. maybe for fear of balance, or whatever other reason.. there’s always a good reason behind these things.

I am content to wait on what happens next.. and I’m hoping Warrior will see better days. =)

In PvE you say..? Warrior is up there, no doubt about it.. and Berserker is actually a great PvE elite specialization, damage is way up there.. whichever route you choose to take, be it running a power build or a condition build you will not regret either choice as far as DPS is concerned..

Well its truly a question if you can make the burn hit boxes overlap and what kind of enemies you’re facing.. it doesn’t work on all enemies just the big and immobile ones.. granted there are a lot of those in the game I’m not about to contest the viability of its damage output.

But keep in mind, against smaller and mobile enemies (they don’t even have to be extremely mobile they just have to move) that don’t sit in those overlapping hit boxes we all know what the results would be.. Also we have no idea yet if this will be changed in the future.. Also against more realistic encounters switching between weapons gives out better damage than camping longbow, even when its traited.

Its just people are happy hitting sitting, ducks like that poor poor target golem, and watching big numbers fly around.. can’t blame em.. I like big numbers as much as anybody.. =p

“Does the condi build out-dps a full zerker warrior with Strength, Arms, and Discipline using Gs +Axe/Mace?”

Strength, Arms, Discipline is outdated, try Strength, Discipline, Berserker the output is far superior, and no if whatever it is you’re hitting sits in those overlapping fire fields probably not..

“Really interesting. can you make one pvp build at gw2skills.net?
if so, thx really!”

You won’t get numbers like that in PvP.. unless you’re fighting target golem tier opponents, you ain’t hitting with those overlapping hit boxes, heck you’ll have trouble getting them to stay in just 1 and you’d be glad if they did.. =p

Remember it still takes time to stack that adrenaline and time to stack that burning, and again.. more time for the burnng to tick down, meanwhile unlike Warrior a lot of other classes out there have reliable condition clear on low cooldowns while having better sustained healing.. meanwhile.. you gotta worry about dying too. =p

eXruina.4956:

This can only be done by condition builds, power builds are unable to do this.. =D

Not true.

Actually it is true for some reason using when using a power build, Primal Burst spamming isn’t as fluid as it is on a condition build partly because of the Adrenaline gain, more often than not you can’t Primal Burst on swap..

“Vaans” is just awesome, I love watching him fight, his moves are just so on point.. I specially like his roaming video with GS + Axe/Mace it just appeals to me..

“Rising Raiden” is also another great Warrior, might wanna check out his channel too for some great outnumbered fights, videos are a bit old though, he hasn’t been posting lately.

I’ve been following them on Youtube since my Charr was a wee cub in Black Citadel.. awesome, awesome videos.. =3

Try using Discipline over Tactics.. you’ll be surprised.. =p You’ll go something like..

Berserk mode > Primal Burst > Swap > Primal Burst > Primal Burst > Swap Primal Burst > Berserk mode expires.. (Use a weapon skill or Ourtrage in between when lacking adrenaline to continue the rotation.. it will only take 1 =p)

This can only be done by condition builds, power builds are unable to do this.. =D

To be honest Berserk mode itself is awesome, we receive Quickness, Swiftness, Fury, 7% Damage and a choice of 10% Damage or Stability as well as the ability to cast Primal Burst skills with impunity.

However it is just.. impractical.. my main problem running Berserker over Strength or any other tree for that matter in PvP is that.. it gimps us.

While not being in Berserk mode.. it takes a while to get that 30 Adrenaline. We will most likely at around 50% HP and more or less swamped with conditions before getting that 30 Adrenaline or maybe even dead. (assuming our opponent isn’t just standing there and letting us whack them with impunity). Sadly, we won’t be able to make up for that loss of initiative after entering Berserk mode either..

Meanwhile we choose not to use our regular burst skills further limiting our combat skills.. if we do we give up entering Berserk mode entirely basically dumping the tree since all the benefits of the Berserker tree is tied to getting into Berserk mode.

Compared to running Strength where we can use our burst skills at 1 bar or more without worrying about it.. Berserker’s Power, Forceful Greatsword and Stick and Move all reward us as the fight is ongoing with more damage, so we get stronger as the fight progresses. Unlike when using Berserker where you only get the benefits after going into Berserk mode. Same can be said about our other trees.. they grant us combat benefits without having situational restrictions.

As for slotting Adrenaline gain.. we need our skill slots for Stances and Condition clear we still have staying alive to worry about, making those slots crucial, offensively I think Bull Rush and Throw Bolas would be preferred as they enable us to kill our opponent if we manage to catch them disabled.

Lastly, the Berserker tree doesn’t cover any of our weaknesses in PvP.. and brings nothing to warrant us to run it over our other trait lines.

In PvE it is currently an extra Strength trait line for power builds.. (Strength, Discipline, Berserker).. love seeing numbers like that, its been so long time since my Warrior hit like that.. and condition Berserker is actually pretty solid there too.

In PvP Its just.. flashy but brings little practical use, the mechanics need a bit of tweaking for it to be viable in PvP..

Ross Biddle.2367:

There, now doesn’t that feel better? Really get down and air those feelings.

Sadly no.. I was just accused of having “a chip on my shoulder” among other things.. and was forced to type a reply.. I doubt I should be feeling better.. =/

If you wanted me to feel better all you had to do was send me a cookie.. =D

Ross Biddle.2367:

Rofl, dude, you have such a chip on your shoulder. Every thread you say the same thing over and over again (and you hit every thread).

You say I hit every thread.. my my.. a fan I’m flattered.. or a stalker.. I.. I don’t really mind *blush. =p Anyway would you like to prove that though.. and the same thing you say. I reply to some threads yes and some may be similar but I don’t think I got the spare time or interest for “every” thread. =p

Most threads are similar by the way.. there are just many problems with the class at the moment..

I’m sorry that you don’t like me posting on the forums.. why ever that may be. =/

Ross Biddle.2367:

Why not create your own thread, get whatever’s eating you off your chest, then go re-roll or something. That, or play berserker and get good.

I don’t care about the game state as much as you think, not the first thing I played won’t be the last, my comments are merely comments, if i don’t enjoy GW2 I will not play GW2.. even the money I spent doesn’t really matter. Its practical.

I made a post thanking Anet for the recent buffs and to keep up the good work, but you missed that after saying I reply to “every” thread lolx. =p

Ross Biddle.2367:

From what I’ve seen, while people aren’t satisfied, there’s certainly those who’ve been able to make it work.

I am still on my Warrior, I’m not satisfied and so what if I’m not its my choice if I decide to play it, the fact that I still play it means I’ll live with that choice. I am making it work, I run different builds on him regularly more so since the Beta and the announcement of Elite Specializations, and I have been having oh so much fun with my Condition Berserker and after the recent patch picked up my Berserker gear again to optimize the recent buffs and see what I could come up with, but you wouldn’t know that right. =p

These people who’ve made it work.. I’m interested in their builds and what they came up with, and if they can compete with said builds.. Thanks. =)

You are better off dumping Berserker entirely from that build, it doesn’t even bring that much damage into the equation to scrap the Strength tree for it..

As hard as we try to make this work it is just sub-par, skill can only get us so far, and ultimately we are only as good as the tools we are given. Where all the other classes got significantly stronger or a whole new playstyle altogether Warrior got kitten.

Their heart was in the right place, the theme was great, but the execution was all over the place.. It seemed that while other classes got no restriction to their design Warrior got heavily restricted, tunnel visioned into the mess it is now.

The +7% Damage and Condi Damage was an improvement.. a VERY BIG IMPROVEMENT over the +10 Adrenaline after exiting Berserk mode.

Berserker is still terrible, you should see what the other classes can do.. its so bad to the point where even if they give +10 Adrenaline together with +7% Damage and Condi Damage that it is still bad compared to all other Elite Specs.. ~____~

Kill them before you die.. It sounds like a joke but I’m dead serious.

They can stack conditions faster than we can remove them anyway, we have terrible condition clear and they are on long cooldowns. Also conditions aren’t the only thing you will be worried about in a fight.

Warrior is terrible in long fights.. we have terrible sustained survivability and our defensive skills are all on very long cooldowns. We don’t have utility like stealth or blinks either and if you’re not running GS you’re basically not even mobile enough to stay alive by running away. In the duration of Berserker stance either kill them or get a big enough HP lead to kill them afterwards. If you find yourself in a bad spot, disengage and reset, because once your defensive skills are down.. they will wreck you.. run away until you’re off cooldown or if you have a window to burst them down (like if they burn dodges trying to chase you down, etc..).

When you are a seasoned enough Warrior.. you will know exactly when you are vulnerable and preemptively disengage as your time runs out.

Berserker doesn’t bring anything new to the table in PvP unless you’re a Condition Warrior anyway.. You will be better off forgetting about Berserker since there is no real benefit in running Berserker opposed to dumping Discipline.

Warrior is in a terrible place right now in both sPvP and WvW.. its out of place and can’t keep up with the new classes at all.. its sad. Hopefully Anet will balance things out.

In sPvP and WvW.. it is still sadly severely lacking..

When running the Berserker Elite Specialization, sometimes it will trigger a Sigil of Geomancy effect on weapon swap (It triggers the earth animation and applies Bleed).. even if no such Sigil is equipped.

I notice it quite frequently, doesn’t seem to be 100%, haven’t really paid much attention to it since it doesn’t really affect my overall gameplay.. I think it only happens when weapon swapping in Berserk mode.

Velimere.7685:

The bit I’m concerned about is the damage. If you mean buffing certain Berserker-related skills so that they aren’t a loss of DPS, then I agree. Otherwise, I feel that the trait modifiers are in a really good spot right now.

The “ADD MORE DAMGE” comment was meant as a joke =D

I am quite content with the changes so far.. and I am hopeful that they’ll balance things out when they get the chance to do so.

What I was trying to say was that buffing certain aspects of Berserker would make it more viable in sPvP and WvW.

Like.. maybe accelerating Warrior’s Adrenaline gain by buffing “Versatile Rage” from the Discipline tree (Since nobody is dumping Discipline anyway.. =p) or lowering the activation cost of Berserk mode, both of which would help immensely.

..or maybe have passive triggers for Berserk mode like after getting stunned or have a certain number of condition on you, or after taking a certain amount of damage.

List goes on, a lot of good solutions to this already posted by other people on other posts we’re just going to have to wait. =)

Thing with Berserker in sPvP and WvW is.. its too slow a start, it needs to build up 3 bars of Adrenaline before it can start things off.. pre-Berserk mode it’s sub-par.. post-Berserk mode, you’re not OP enough to make up for the difference.. Also you sacrifice something for it.. since Warrior was pretty much defined with Defense and Discipline locked into traits.. and stances into the skill bar. missing one of these gimps Warrior’s combat ability by a large margin.

I think this has been cited by multiple people already.. I think a great solution would be to gate Berserk mode duration to Adrenaline Bar ex. going berserk on 1 bar of Adrenaline will give you 5 seconds in Berserk mode, 10 seconds for 2 bars and 15 seconds for 3 bars.. and well ADD MORE DAMAGE. =p

That’ll make it more viable.. MORE DAMAGE makes Warrior viable.. =D

Velimere.7685:

Your math is wrong, but in a good way. Damage-percent increases are multiplicative rather than additive meaning that you actually get more out of them than you think!

Ooooh.. really? I didn’t know that, learned something new, but you suddenly made me feel that I should be putting out bigger numbers. You’re not good for my health.. like a cookie. =p

On a sidenote, I wish they reworked heavy armor for Charr.. besides T3 Cultural Armor everything else looks so.. terrible.. *Cry..

I’ve been reading a lot of hate here recently, I for one am happy about the changes. I admit it could be better but lets face it, could’ve been worse. Imagine if they’ve done nothing, we should be thankful for the changes specially since they’ve been busy with bug fixes, holiday events, etc..

7% damage (Always Angry) + 10% damage (Bloody Roar) = 17% damage boost, yes its a big deal. BIG NUMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME..

Always Angry has no downtime after entering Berserk mode once with its 15 second duration so its a really good permanent 7% damage boost as long as you remain active in keeping Berserk mode up.

Adding Fury to Fatal Frenzy is a nice add as well.. its not an overwhelming buff but I feel it covers my Fury downtime so I appreciate it.

I like what they did to Bloody Roar (Should rename this.. =p), 10% damage while in Berserk mode is exactly what I was looking for personally. I LIKE BIG NUMBERS, ITS WHY I ROLLED WARRIOR, most people feel this way, at least people I know.. could be bigger though but I can live with 10%. =D

Suggestions:

Since 1st Tree line focuses on Power, and 2nd Tree focuses on Condition.. They could make the 3rd tree line focus on survivability and Berserk mode uptime, something along the lines of.. +Toughness, -% Damage received, -% Condition Duration received, +Healing/Regeneration, etc..

Primal Bursts need more polishing.. a lot more polishing.. =/

We just have to wait and see, they make the game and we play it.. =)

In PVE Condition Warrior isn’t bad, specially as a Berserker, DPS is quite up there.

Sad to say though there are a lot of narrow minded and stupid people out there.. so be prepared to get flamed at or kicked from parties when not running a PS build in Berserker armor. =p

Ice.5162:

I am NOT giving up on wars!

I’m not either ! I just hope the Dev’s don’t :/

I feel your pain!! Stay strong brothers.. T____T

Bearhugger.4326:

I remember the devs saying they designed the trait line to have something for all play styles but it doesn’t seem to be good enough at any of those purposes except condi.

Amen to that, but they’re really busy fixing bugs at the moment so lets give them some breathing room, hopefully, they’ll fix it in due time..

Actually, although other warrior builds are much worse off, condition builds still find themselves giving up 1 tree for it, either Arms, Defense or Discipline. Losing Arms hurts damage, losing Defense hurts survivability and losing Discipline hurts mobility and adrenaline efficiency.. =/ I think this is a general problem for all builds.

Also the Primal Burst skills and SHORT buff after entering Berserk mode don’t justify taking it.. the Primal Burst are mostly either inferior or not much of an upgrade to regular burst and the SHORT buffs you get don’ t make you all that stronger either. All while taking the time to charge 3 bars of Adrenaline to enter Berserk mode and turning kitten again because of the 15 second cooldown afterwards.. ~_~

This is happening for me as well.. sad panda.. I can only make Charged Quartz from it but I can’t get the Hero Point.

I.. I was the one who ate all the cookies.. ~____~ and.. I did not share.. >:D

perko.8309:

I was trying to rock an Arms/Discpline/Berserk Condi build in WvW, but now it’s time to reroll : (

Amen to that..

sPvP/WvW perspective. Its just.. far less survivable and kills slower than our regular power build, since a lot of the other classes has great condition clears on low cooldowns, also conditions take time to stack on opponents, time that we don’t have since Berserker really doesn’t cover any of our original weaknesses which are conditions and being kited to death.

It streamlines us into sacrificing some of our core traits and skills to run it but doesn’t do justice to doing so.

I just hope they do some much needed tweaking after getting HoT all fixed up. I’m still hopeful.

Currently playing around with Condi Berserker,

Full Rabid Gear (Rune of the Undead)

Sword+Torch (Sigil of Earth & Geomancy / Longbow (Sigil of Blight & Doom)

Arms: 2-2-2
Discipline: 2-3-3
Berserker: 2-2-2

Healing Signet, Sundering Leap, Shattering Blow, Outrage, Signet of Rage

So far I just couldn’t sacrifice Arms nor Discipline, Arms brings too much damage into the table, and Discipline brings Mobile Strikes, Fast Hands, Adrenaline sustain which gives the ability to spam Primal Bursts more fluidly.

I’ve foregone defense and rely mostly on toughness and proper dodging to survive. In PvP i mostly just bank that I can kill the opponent first, I rely mostly on Sword and use LB as a filler in my rotations. Its been working out for me so far both in PvP and PvE, really could be better. Sword 2, Sundering Leap and the speedboost from mobile strikes really brings much mobility to the table for me can’t give them up, still miss GS 3. =/ Anyway the damage is ok in PvE, In PvP we can stack it as fast as they remove it but I still find Eles, Necros and Guards real tough with this build.. rest is fine. I could still fare better with a power build in full Berserker Gear. I miss the Stances.. speceally Berserker’s Stance, Anyway thats just me, I’m having fun, so far its not that bad, for me at least.

For power builds.. it just sucks.. =p It just makes you a worse Warrior. =/

Also note some Berserker mechanics are still quite buggy, so far these are what I’ve encountered.
- Primal Burst (Any): Sometimes Primal Burst skills will suddenly be on cooldown when they shouldn’t be, it seems random.
- Blaze Breaker: Sometimes won’t cast when in melee range of enemies. Also Blaze Breaker seems to only hit 3x at most, contrary to the 5x in its description.
- Shattering Blow: Sometimes it doesn’t aim at the target and hits in strangely different directions..

Larynx.2453:

Lets focus developer time on balancing concerns that actually matter for 99% of the game.

I wasn’t saying its urgent, as the title said “Suggestion”.. GW2 staff have their hands full with loose ends in HoT at the moment and their hard work is much appreciated. Its just an idea for future reference. =)

Thing damage numbers aren’t really consistent even in PVE.. average high ticks would fluctuate around 3k+ to 5k+ without food and just a few buffs, and that is assuming whatever you’re hitting stays still and lets you stack your conditions high. If you end up doing something else other than keeping your ticks up damage falls off rather quickly, like oh say.. dodging or disengaging to stay alive.

You can achieve high stacks yes.. I’ve hit around 8k+ myself at best but only for brief periods.. and after a certain windup time (if its dead, its dead =p), its impossible to keep the conditions up at such a high tick indefinitely.

The output is ok.. its not bad actually, but the post says “new top damage dealer” which it is clearly not, is what i think people are trying to tell you.

Hi, I noticed that we don’t really have a Condition Damage Weapon while underwater.. I’ve been running Condition Berserker lately and I noticed.. I am very very kitten underwatter.. more kitten than I am on land. Which is sad for a Charr (We don’t like being kitten..) =/

Harpoon Gun looks like a worthy candidate.. or involuntary volunteer. =D

Also I noticed I’ve been using the word “kitten” a lot lately.. its disturbing.. o_____O

Linfang.1087:

Send in a ticket to Anet. they can reset your ascended piece of armor and mail it back to you.

Thanks Linfang, haven’t thought of that.. just sent a ticket, I hope they can change the stats so I can at least use it. =)

Grace.6074:

It’s ascended, not legendary. You’ve never been able to change the stats on crafted ascended gear.

Yes you can on Weapons and Armors there is a Mystic Forge recipe, which is why I thought it works on Aquabreathers. Sad.. sad.. panda.. =/
