Good luck finding that in a pug. Reality is that about 99% of the player cant run that build and that altrought i do can run it I more then often end up behing prey to my team behing unable to survive long enought to get the job done. How do i die? because i try to ressurect those guys (glass cannons mainly who have no clue how to dodge) who cant stay up by themselves.

Rezing people in the middle of a battle takes its toll on your attention and its always sad to survive the whole fight then get shot by lupicus while trying to rez some unfortunate dude who got kitten d by his shadow charge.

Again with the glorification of the damage. Seriously if everything in this game was about damage half the builds would be rejected from the moment youd get into the fractals. It aint the case. Behing the last man standing also holds some meaning when it comes to party survival because the ’’tanky’’ guy will always be the one to revive the glass cannons who constantly dies of aoe they wont dodge in time.

i can assure you that going full dps its kind of unlikely youl be that ‘’last standing’’ guy and that its kind of unlikely a thief with refuge will save your party should i get close to wiping mainly because you wont pick one.

your in full zerk and do less dps than any other prof in full zerk i don’t see the point about your build then.

support… plain and simple

Support better provided by guardians with a dps setup. Warriors are only taken in PvE for their offensive buffs, without them you’re less valuable than any other class really.

Banner of discipline and mass rez banner, couple that with partywide regeneration is actualy exelent for the team. now now if no other warrior i may even go full banner and reserve one of my signet to endurance

note: youl generaly need 3 warrior just to do that.

support… plain and simple im still close to the armor cap even as zerker and i do partywide healing and buffing as well as having increased rez speed. Tactic warrior are exelent for those purpose.

I do agree however that your build ronnie should actualy edge toward full zerker if you aint traiting toward buffing partywide or heavy self regeneration. There is little point to a tank who does nothing else then tanking in GW2. shouts are cool but take to much space in the spell bar in comparison to a single banner. You also loosing most of your dps not having 0 20 0 0 0 from missing the master greatsword trait. As for armor you need to run critical damage weither it is with partial valkiry (less precision more health) or full zerker (glass cannon path) some trinket will exchange valkiry health for toughtness in the ascended cathegory but try to at least have about 30+ critical chance (70% when buffed is great but if you can hit 50 youl still be somewhat fine)

They are not saying that you don’t need support but a good team has defensive support (relfects,protection,aegis etc) while playing a full dps gear.

Who said i wasnt running in full zerker?

All classes out dps that spec when built properly. Warrior is average in terms of dps when group is all buffed up. Ele, thief, guardian and necro can all out dps a warrior.

all those spec also can go as support save for the thief. Im just saying running the warrior damage meta is not the only viable path and that people should actualy think their build over past the concept of dps alone.

dps is irrilevant.
enjoy your 40 minutes dungeons runs or 3 hours fractals as you prefer but stop spreading misleading informations saying that your build can out dps every prof in full zerk .

i didnt say i outdps every prof but i likely still outdps mesmer ranger enginer necro and most guardian and elementalist wich btway will not always spec for damage. point is to deal acceptable damage to be somewhat above the average while supporting the team. Up to you to have your belief but im strongly against glass cannon in a team. Mainly because as i said before Glass cannon generaly needs to be ’’carried’’ by a support to keep its full effectiveness without behing constantly put on the ground and that pugs will not always have a support.

Actually all of those classes running a proper dps spec will out damage your terrible build.

I dont think so beside this wasnt made to be a full dps build either. If i realy wanna run a full glass cannon i run my mesmer. Also you judge by believing only dps is the viable path. Likely youve never actualy did a support role in your life, Its not because warriors can pull top damage that they necesarily needs to only spec as such.

PvE Only - whats the best build ?

kyubi.3620

unable to edit for some reason (oh well) at this point i run all weapon on a 0 25 (20) 15 (20) 30 0 build and adapt between banners healing and shout healing depending on the situation. Heavy dps maniacs rage a lot against it but hey im doing fairly good damage and supporting the whole team without constantly dying (i can run 30 25 0 0 15 but i think its to self centered)

Id say the best build is a balance of both wich can use any weapon and be optimal in any situation without having to constantly buy a respect in the middle of the dungeon to assume the various role. Technicaly this means i dont think going full dps is actualy the wisest move.

“Thats still more then about any other class would do in zerker gear.”

it indeed is for a good majority of the possible spec people will play in a party. I dont recall spreading information about the fact of having a supportive style warrior as actualy behing misleading because its an usefull build and I actualy even think we need more of those.

You are nto even playing axe on weapon swap.
With your build you are doing 25k 100b every 10 secs then aa with gs.
NICE DPS

dps is irelevent and thats way past the point as for axe i do have it amonst my weapon set when i need raw damage but ill generaly use mace because of the free extra block. i dont think its called AA its more like whirlwind then rush. I rarely actualy do AA or have the time for it. if i dont weapon swap between its likely ill do AA for about 3 to 4 second at worse.

because you got 30 point in strenght that i dont as well as 15 in the last spec. This of course gives you a serious increase in dps but you pay it high with the loss of adrenaline regeneration as well as the regeneration buff

I dodge bosses and most strike but i like to be able to keep my health high from constant healing. If a ele already proc regeneration or if we gain it from another source i can always shift to shout way instead of banner way and go shake it off/for great justice to increase the party healing further. I dont think your build is actualy able to do anything else then doing damage.

Of course if you got other support in your party to carry your health bar good for you but I know that in general pugs wont have this kind of setting. Idm running 30 25 0 0 15. When in an organised team because a support style teamate (such as staff guardian or elementalist) will carry for everyone health bar.

Personally, I think zerk warrior is the most viable build to run in a fractal or any dungeon, but fractals especially. At higher levels (i.e. 40+) the mobs have a much larger health pool and deal a hell of a lot more damage. To me the amount of time your taking to kill a mob, if quicker will result in less chances to mess up; if longer, will result in more chances to mess up. Also, higher toughness in a fractal isn’t as useful as more damage, since agony ignores armor and instead deals damage based on a percentage of your health.

You wont take agony damage if you dodge well. You should be more concerned about the adds swarming (aka dredge, svanir)

I do agree thief may do higher damage but are so squishy people are effraid of using them.

As for where the guardian stands you do know that he needs a warrior banner full party buff as well as a frost spirit just to deal that damage (extern dps source) can it do that much damage on its own im doubtfull of it.

even then you want me to believe youl have a full party of guardian, warrior or thieves? I dont see thieves going this high in the fractals tbh. Guardians may reach it but generaly takes on a support role

when i did my mats i wasnt receiving any damage support save from my own buff and a 25 might stack coupled the 25 armor penetration. I wasnt using full ascended gear either im still lacking half my trinkets and im a good 6 critical damage short from one of my ring behing soldier styled (fractals didnt drop anything good that week and i geared my other character as a priority) likely with party support ill reach a good 30k+

‘’Ok your fantastics shouts heals must be awesome at fractal 15.’’
my build is banner tri-regen not shout you must have been looking at the other guy

is not about big single numbers but dps.
with your math 100b>fiery rush , please

dps is of little consequance in fractals of the mist what mathers is what you bring to the team and how long you can last. 30 25 0 0 15 is easily one of the worst build you can have in a heavily add crowded fractal (aka dredge). Doesnt realy mather good you can dodge when you take a hit every 3 second you need to be able to endure a beating. OF course if you use this for wvw or a dungeon like arah with little or next to no tanking problem this is another story. I did run arah as 30 25 0 0 15 but this was to dps down Dwayna (the actual only real dps race boss in the game).

i dont recall 25k on hundred blade behing a bad hit dear. It may not be this great for average warrior dps but it still outshine most class who would be based on damage.

No, no it doesn’t. 25k hundred blades is bad, not to mention you need to factor in cast time and not just pay attention to the final number.

Thats still more then about any other class would do in zerker gear. doing 3k+ (to up to 4k) with auto and 12k with whirlwind is perfectly acceptable. And if you can do better then show me numbers and with other class… not warriors

As i recall thief can do great damage as well but is so glassy it wont even live to deal it thats the reason no one wants a thief in the party for end content. now now what will you get me out show me your mats.

Everything in fractals is based on your ability to survive and going all out zerker there will do little more then get your killed quick from mob swarms.

The power tech does increase the GS sword by a good 25% great but you have to spec 30 point in it just to get results.

If you’re dying regularly using 30/25/0/0/15 + Healing Signet, then the problem isn’t the build, it’s the player.

Arena net isnt a fan of glass cannon and youl likely see a lot of new encounter and fix made for the sole purpose of making them feel uncomfortable in the future. btway going full dps isnt the only way to play warrior and 30 25 0 0 15 is prety much only viable with great sword.
I run 0 25 15 30 0 and the healing banners actualy does a perfect job not to mention how easy it is to switch gear and trait for about any single weapon in the game. Id advise you not to run glass cannon great sword in fractals if you actualy hate armor repairs because you gunna spend a lot of time at the little broken red shield if you run that.
A good credo for fractal should be to balance your stat and gear in order to be optimal in every situation because no you wont always be on the DPS seat in fractals of the mist.
Just dont forget to bring in the critical damage banner

Now now i dont know about you but i like to have tri-regen on my warrior. Couple that with enought damage to outclass anything but a full damage warrior and youl be fine in Fotm

wichever build you use you always need at least 0 20 0 0 0 to be able to use greatsword effectively when necesary.

Witch Race For Necro?

Charr can be somewhat tricky to robe up with a armor for necro especialy females. I can think of only 2 possible matching set, Winged feathered combo and Orrian. Because lets face it COF is more for elementalist. As for where the charr stands in the dialogue it aint much more agressive or wicked then the asura is the main diffrence is:

The asura talk like if it was a superior behing or something, is highly arrogant and use a lot of scientifical therm such as ‘’Endurance level is to low’’ talking like if he was a computer.
The charr use a lot of soldier themed therms ‘’i cant remember my orders’’(confused)

I love Sieran. But I would challenge you to find a bad Asura. Heh.

All of them? …do I have to pick only one? Asura and Quaggans need to be extinct

Asurans = Goblins/Orcs in other games.
Quaggans = just plain stupid Seamonkeys

I’m pretty sure the Charr are the GW equivalent of Orcs. Asura would be the dwarves I guess, with a slight sci-fi twist to them.

Im prety SURE that asuran are meant to be the GNOMES not the dwarves dwarves were already in GW and where removed later, Charrs definitively are orcs while sylvaris are elves

I still run pet in pve fractals lvl 30+ and im most satisfyed. Never noticed any problem related to my pet AI as you guys mention them save for the fact they sometime are slow at using their F2 skill. They strike when i ask they to, run back when i ask them to and attack wichever target i direct them to. This is the base of a pet AI wich is used in just all MMO. go compare this AI with the one in world of warcraft, perfect world, diablo 3? or just any game wich includes some pets and youl notice those things NEVER try to dodge. Pets act like all npc do, they run for their target and attack. You cant expect them to just… sidestep out of red circle just because theres one, npc just dont have this inteligence.

Aside from the fact pets cant dodge aoe attack because of ’’AI’’ problem they prety much seem like working fine to me. In beta pets sometime had bugs related to attacking wich made them simply stand still even then you could just have them attack your target by using F1 or triggering their defend/passive ability.

this could be a nice tool

Playing a beast master i totaly agree you there. Arena net issue with pets is that so far pets stat are independant of the master gear so you can spec a pet into a raw dps machine while you go as an all out tank.

Residual venom+venom share+leeching venom = healing bomb?
Idk about you but so far venom always looked like a thief healing/condition spec to me.
With that skelk venom it will just confirm it

People around here only think of venom as random effect to add to a critical damage bar for actual control purpose but venom actualy can do their own share of damage when geared toward condition damage. I do agree however we could trade one of them for a burning damage venom (apply poison 5 time on the target as a cooldown? thats cute but traited that way i apply poison everytime i steal anyway).

Basilisk venom shouldnt be a elite or should not be dispellable to begin with. If they realy wanna make it dispellable then maybe they should consider increasing the stun duration to punish foes who already wasted their stun breaker

Alternative to this could be to remake the trait that grants +33% poison duration (Utherly useless! who in their right mind would use this) into grant + 50% or 100% venom duration or so to speak. this would actualy make all venom potentially better.

Venomshare thief on 10th?

in Thief

Posted by: kyubi.3620

kyubi.3620

I can actualy perfectly believe myself running venom share as a Death blossom D/D thief spamming bleed gaining regeneration and conditions from poison with 10 might stack and a crazy amount of healing. People have been underusing death blossom of late due to the over abuse of stuff like teleport and backstab stealther anet likely is trying to do a promotion to condition thief again wich i do agree with

30 (venom gives might, reduce venom cooldown by 20%, venom apply an additionnal use)

0

30 (grant regeneration when the target has 2 or more bleed stack, venom leech health, share venom)

0

10 (proc might fury and swiftness to the party)

sounds like a killer for pve purpose and better yet a freaking build wich wont be squishy as holy hell and will actualy periodicaly dodge hits.

The nurse role is totaly accessory but having crazy healing (partywide and self) coupled with a lot of condition damage may actualy make thief more usefull in a party then it used to be (i dont mind stealth thief but lets be honest most are just a burden). I cant wait to try it in fractals of the mist

Decoy stealth useless in pve?

in Mesmer

Posted by: kyubi.3620

kyubi.3620

Well, I’d not say that it became useless. I assume it’s like our illusions when the target stealths. They don’t vanish, but wait (on their current spot) for target to reappear. It’s not like you’d forget about your target when it’s become invisible.

I rather see a problem with clearing aggro from mobs to let your allies respawn. Since the 28th Jan patch we can’t respawn when the party has aggro and now even [Mass Invisibility] wouldn’t help there since the mobs would just wait for you. And our invisibility durations are just to short to do anything else.

Anet DOESNT want player to run their way trought dungeon skipping everything to begin with. Right now in their mind mass invisibility is highly missused because before anything else right now its a running tool. This will also make some mesmer think twice about dealing to much damage because this time you wont be able to just go glassy phantasm spam and still win without an effort from constantly disengaging

actualy that signet looks like a wonderfull minion master build signet as it effectively makes all your minion do about +250 damage for a time. Since most minion masters deals their damage from other source then the minions themselve its a good way to reorient the camera toward minion damage dealing and blood spec rather then the other spec such as death shroud. In some way its a spell that rewards quantity over quality and i can imaginate the heavy damage nuke multi striking unit will do while the target is under its effect

Looking for a solid PVE Build

in Ranger

Posted by: kyubi.3620

kyubi.3620

I run longbow (rune of battle) / axe,horn (rune of battle, rune of bloodlust) on

berserker gear

0
20 (spec for pet critical damage and might on critical)
0
20 (spec for regeneration but could be speced otherwise the second spell is up to you)
30 (take compassion training bleed on crit for feline and drake and pet regeneration)

Signet of the hunt, signet of the wilderness, sic em, healing spring, Rampage as one

Pets are: Jaguard, Drake

This is a physical damage build entirely focused on stacking pet might in order to call in maximum physical damage. You might like it if you dont like sword (tbh i think ranger are meant to stay at ’’Range’’ because having a full melee party is just the same as having no melee at all. Dont consider sword the only avenu just because it deals slightly better damage. This build can be ran with sword as well but im not much of a fan of the melee range when i wear a zerking armor on a ranger not to mention sword does not hit enought target at the same time to proc might on crit as often as longbow and axe does.)

Now how in hell to build up damage? swap weapon as soon as its recharged youl auto proc swiftness fury and 3 stack of might to both you and your pet. Keep swapping up to the maximum number of stack and between that spam all your multi hit to do as many critical hit as possible within the shortest amount of time. This is NOT a pvp build as it was made in mind to deal heavy damage to stationary or multiple target at a time.

Note: There is always the alternative to run this build with a rampager equipment using a shortbow to stack bleed damage. all you need to keep your pet damage happy is a lot of precision. As for power im not sure if the tooltip tells the truth or if its just a darn bug because pet spells pretend to upgrade from power. In any case condition build likely will stack bleed like pro as well as might while power build is gunna deal a lot of actual critical damage

Spirit of Nature +Healing Power?

Someone tell me something? why is healing spring not considered as a trap. it was a trap spell in GW 1. Making HS a trap would definitively valorise the trapper build more.

New healing skill

in Ranger

Posted by: kyubi.3620

kyubi.3620

well this just gave me some nasty idea… how about we spec full nature magic with regeneration on shout spirit heal etc have healing spirit as elite water spirit as heal then full 30 in beast mastery for pet regeneration equip the signet of the wilderness along with water spirit fire spirit and a shortbow? build would go as a full condition user coupled with might on swap and big healing.
10 (increase pet condition duration)
0
0
30 (spirit)
30 (pet might on swap etc and cat cond damage)
As silly as it sounds it looks like a way to have good regeneration tank over here. but eh i might also be totaly wrong

List of Buffs

snow.8097:

‘’SUDDEN pet damage reduction?! SUDDEN?! the actual meta was the beastmaster and they needed to fix it, why? let me explain. with our 0/0/30/10/30 we were TANKS, while we used HIGH DMG pets who done more dmg then more Players. I remeber how i fought a Guardian and my raven hit him and over the half of his HP were gone! That was the reason why anet nerfed us, it was unbalanced, a tank ranger with high dmg pet? We needed nothing to do except let our pet deal more dmg then other classes’’

despite this nerf i still run beast mastery altrought i did wish arena net actualy made it viable again this time as a glass cannon build rather then a tanking build. Pets damage should be (like for mesmer phantasm) based on power and critical damage if not just the ranger stat itself. This would force player to actualy consider what kind of gear they wear. Do i need to wear a tanky style armor because i want my pet to stay alive or do i want to wear a zerker style armor because i want my pet to mirror my personnal spec as a glass cannon. Currently what we got is a puny joke wich can hardly crit for higher then 3k on auto attack when full might and basicaly wont score higher then 6k with a personnal skill (altrought from time to time i had the illusion of seeing my pet do a 8 to a 10k wich i mustve dreamed about altrought the cat bite does deal quite an insane load of damage and might have hit a maximum critical at that time from my signet of the hunt…) Ranger who realy want to specialise into damaging pets should be able to do so. Now look at this we have gone this low as to be using one handed sword to deal a chained auto attack spec (Guild Wars isnt meant to be played as a click and leave it running game it never was, weapons needs to feel like a set of tool to be used situationnaly rather then a click 1 to win bar using a generic spell rotation)… Ranger ranged spec needs a revalorisation on the damage basis and pets (this mechanics so many fools cry about) deserve some serious resiliance to boss or a good increase of damage so that beast mastery specialist who put all their energy into making effective pet builds stop behing looked at like if they are some noobs trying out random builds for fun. As for where marksmanship stands long bow damage needs a dramatic increase or an upgrade to control (hey what about you changed that crap trait that cripple foe for 10 second when hiting them at 25% to something like cripple foe on critical hits for 4 second with a 15 second cooldown or just no cooldown at all like the pistol trait for thief. Longbow is supposed to be a sniping weapon so please make sure that we can snipe x.x)

Most Effective Playstyle

in Mesmer

Posted by: kyubi.3620

kyubi.3620

to be honest i dont like shatter because im more of a constant dps player then a burster. I currently run phantasm and im happy that way. Im not denying shatter has a good skill cap but if i REALY want to hurt my head over skill cap ill just play my elementalist or my enginer as id rather keep my mesmer as an effective pve character (lets be honest phantasm takes half the efforts for twice the results this isnt laziness its just practicism). Phantasm do have the advantage of perma regeneration as well as offering regen amonst illusions. runned with phantasmal defender it makes for an exelent pve build for fractals and such. with the new healing spell phantasm will likely become a bunker mesmer spec

Signet of the Ether is asking.

in Warrior

Posted by: kyubi.3620

kyubi.3620

you also have to take in mind that mesmer is more fragile and has more use out of burst heals than passive heals. Don’t get me wrong I think the upcoming mesmer is a bad idea and it will all come down to numbers. Also the last thing I’d want is to see PU mesmer or phantasm mesmer to become viable, like we need another passive kitten build in the meta.
This doesn’t change my point however, that it is not healing signet 2.0 as mesmer relies on a completely different mechanic and damage mitigation

i dont see anything wrong about phantasm mesmer behing viable. Shatter is way overused and people all rely way to much on illusion shatter when mesmer is basicaly about hiding amonst your illusion (when its not sword pistol its staff cond bunker you guys are all the same). I agree arena net on the point that mesmer needs more diversity in its build and that as such build such as phantasm and mainly mantra deserve an improve especialy mantra wich is isnt played at all to begin with (how many of you even use healing mantra or traited 30 point to get a third use on your mantra please be honest?)

If i can tell right away from looking at a mesmer what build hes gunna use theres a serious problem of diversity in the clkittenter might be a hard to play and realy rewarding spec i dont see why it has to be the only good spec mesmer has availlable this isnt about behing pro like its about making sure all builds are equal or so i think this is arena net mentality.

Is i Berserker or i Duelist stronger?

in Mesmer

Posted by: kyubi.3620

kyubi.3620

duelist versus zerker? just combine both! duelist will do your bleed stacks from crititcals on multi hit (8 strike) while your zerker will spam cripple and make all those guys powerless (4 strike) If you wanna stack single target damage however you better off with duelist only while for multi target spam the zerker out.

I run 10 15 0 25 20
