kek. run X. use moa. stunlock. evade. stealth. blind. block.

if you cant land rifle 4 & use cc on stab that’s you playing badly. i have no issues vs warrior on any engineer build i play, provided im playing well. practice landing cc & damage chains.

Honestly, in my build I only had rifle #4 and turret detonation as CC.

Honestly, in my warrior build, i have no endure pain, engi kills me all the time, thanks who ever made engi dev.

People often think thief is bad 1v1, it’s not bad 1v1 at all, if you build for it.
except the fact that, thief’s most trait is related to stealth
which means, even if you win 1v1, you will lose the point due to stealth.

let’s see with the new Daredevil, it can bring something new.
but again, it’s godly 1v1 if you actually build for it.
the meta thief builds are made around having the idea of being the best +1 roamer.

engi lossing to a warrior?
l2p issue…

Jana.6831:

Then why do you say rangers have got it worse than thieves?
And no, nearly all classes can hit harder than thief, just that thief has got no defense.
You can only dodge that often.

Boy oh boy, thief is literally the only class who can go full offensive while maintaining the highest survivability within all classes, just because of the on demand stealth application, now mesmer can be on the same page. other classes on full offensive? you just get kittened in seconds.

Jana.6831:

So? That’s because of the classes’ mechanics, you can buff all you want, still doesn’t change the mechanics how many times do I need to repeat this?

what? it’s not only the class mechanics, it’s every thing a class can do to determine whether they are suit for tournament play or not, buff can be a thing, if they buff all the CC duration, damage to OP level, i ensure you, ranger will be in tournaments

also, you can’t just ignore your freaking op class mechanics, just because w/e reason and balance.

Amante.8109:

Not Thief mechanics, Shortbow #5. Just Shortbow #5.

Remove that and Thieves disappear from every competitive team overnight.

You are basically saying, remove endure pain, warrior will be useless
or remove lighting flash, ele will be doomed
remove blink, mesmer will be useless
remove elixir S, all engi will be reckt.
whats your point again?

this lol

ill duel your war on my thief.

problem is that it is dependent on the CC enemy throw at you

IMO Scrapper is a much better warrior, way better then hambow

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

Well, that Gyro is a perma shadow refuge mark
people will throw all the aoes in there, at least SR disappare with 10+ seconds stealth on you.

they can only stack 5 sec if they want the gyro to be gone.

It’s a choice you have to made, people use herald because it’s easy mode.
tbh personally i prefer mallyx because it has more play to it’s role, similar to thief mesmer, boon strip is needed.

and it has good skill cap and ceiling.

Come, ill destroy your warrior with my signet necro while i faceroll on my keyboard.
lighter.5631 add me.

if the mesmer has condi transfer, guard is dead

bro, doesn’t matter, i’ve been playing warrior all my life, i know exactly what they are gonna do, even i have 1 hour on other classes, i would still beat other warriors, given they are not top level.

Roy Cronacher.1576:

Much to your dismay, Revenant’s do need a weakness.

So what’s elementalist’s weakness?

an ele’s weakness is having lowest armor and lowest HP which means you can be groupbursted down if you don’t pay attention, but that is being covered by runes of vamperism

PvE:
Easiest: Warrior/Ranger

PvP
Hardest: Warrior

i’ve noticed it as well recently, I thought it was internet latency or w/e

Kidel.2057:

Us: Rev has no condi cleanse
Roy: can’t have everything

So we are not that spoiled. Our dad knows when to say no.

Thats game balance wise.
Weapon swap was needed yes, but a game balance decision.
All the “I want a fluffy dodge” “Work on this animation please” is what makes you spoiled.

Rev could have probably get more condition cleanse if some people didn’t ask for weapon swap desperately

I would like to duel your warrior on any "weaker" class you mention,

i would also like to faceroll your warrior on my ele as well, just to show your ignorance
add me in game.

since when we begged for more might, we already have enough might…
what you said literally makes no sense and clueless.

TBH discipline is crucial for berserker.
so is fast hand.
Primal bursts are 5 CD cooldown which has almost perfect synergy with fast hands
also with swap gain adrenaline minor in discipline, it’s amazing synergy right there.

Hello Hello,

I am fully aware that the longbow is a far better option in terms of range warrior but my love for muskets in fantasy wins over reason.

LB is not a better option than Rifle, atleast not, if you play both weapons with power builds. Condi builds and Traited LB have much better AA than Rifle and that is it, while Rifle can “shine” as a single target power weapon.

LB is better even with power build, Immo is crucial for landing high damage attacks, 3 is AoE spike damage, F1 has good direct damage and can proc sigils for aoe damage.
blind is good for self defense, 2 is good damage close range, double hit auto has more chance of procing air fire.
you can also cover your teamate by placing aoes on them so people like thief will have more risk for chasing down your teamate.

sure, rifle does more damage on individual, but this is a team game, unless you talk about dueling, then rifle is just a mini longbow ranger…

yea, i liked the 2% speed with frenzy, feels cool.

I would rather have axe 5 differentiate from hundred blade, make it like rev sword 3 but single target and half the evade frame or something.

Because the setup is simply bad.
Dual Strike is low damage with short duration of fury
and Whirling axe…Sure, if you compare it with Hundred blade as a high damage AoE cleave damage, which can be rarely used.

Greatsword has other skill for moving targets, 3 does really good damage with evade frame, 5 is higher damage too.

the other guy said sword 3 burst, Greatsword burst skill does the same with only bit lower damage but bigger AoE lower CD and gives good amount of fury.

1.Warrior goes rampage
2.Place Unyielding Anguish
3.?
4.Profit

I always thought that defiant stance would make a great utility skill for warrior.
but then here’s revenant, with it’s second healing skill.
it’s also a longer version of traited defiant stance (3 3/4 seconds)

But in the end, it’s all about the insta-cast on top of all that that makes it too good.

I would remove cast time for defiant stance to begin with tbh.
like that 1/4 cast time wasn’t even made for skillful interrupt, but been there for annoyance..

Dahkeus.8243:

Thief is amazing in conquest, but only if you play to its strengths, which is generally very different from other classes. Thieves excel at decapping undefended points with their unparalleled mobility and +1ing even fights to quickly turn the tide.

Also rez people with that shadowart trait line, stealth group, group burst

Fasthand need baseline

shiro/mallyx is good.
you can insta break shield 5 with UA lol

mallyx need buff and shield skills are fine, idk why you think shield 4 is bad, it gives protection on top of heal, that’s 33% damage reduction right there against zerkers.

Basically you can just chain invul (two shield 5 + heal) on top of dodge spam from shiro and weapon.
in fact i think herald abit too good, on top of what i said above, also on demand protection, on demand fury. others are ok tho.

make berserk and primal burst stronk enuf to worth droping strength or defense.
as of right now, these skills are not stronk enuf

ohh the drama, so gud!

Bloody Roar:
Nearby taunt needs to be 3 seconds
normal taunt needs to be 2 seconds

needs to be able to immediately cast burst skill after berserk

Longbow Primal burst needs to be changed

fatal frenzy increase to 3 seconds

berserk needs to have it’s cd reduced

it’s not for lore, it’s for balance

Kidel.2057:

lighter, regardless of the starting hp, enemy or reflects, 5 sec cd skill with 6-7k damage unbuffed and no target limit is OP. Period.

They said primal bursts are weaker then normal bursts but have less cd and adrenaline required (see longbow), so this skill is a huge fail, since it’s 10x stronger then rifle normal burst.

normal rifle burst does way more damage with 6 sec CD and pierce 5 targets in that golem place, much damage, such wow, nerf normal rifle burst plox

Longbow primal burst has to be changed, like i said in post long ago.

this thing is worth nothing..

Change gameplay style = more stunbreaks?
how does this work

and why rage skill feels exactly like physical skill, even the "only elite skill worth something " part too.

You are acting like people don’t have down state and will proc that reset trait
also, all these golems have less then half HP..gg

when at 1500 range, all u need to do is walk one step backward and it will be out of range…

King elementalist, knight mesmer, joker thief and peasant other classes

Warrior is bad and need buff

TheFantasticGman.9451:

Kidel.2057:

Rubi: “You can’t have everything.”
Hugh: “Well, we can have a lot of things.”

Said no Dev about the Ranger, ever.

Hugh is no dev for classes nor he has any control over warrior, he only plays

and no, warrior has very little things, no teleport, no blink, very little access to conditions varieties, no insta CC, most skills are telegraphed, easy to dodge, easily blindable.

dodge and interrupts, it’s not like old acrobat you just gain more dodge for dodging
you gain more dodge using pulsing heal, interrupting, stealing and stuff.

Xillllix.3485:

I always knew metabattle were a step behind the real meta.
You absolutely can’t have the best team comp without a mesmer, a guard, and a warrior at the moment.
Mesmer just dominates everything in terms of utilities, condition damage and burst damage. Burning on guardian and boon support is better than on d/d ele, it has less dancing to do and more efectiveness + quickness. Warrior has the best elites, outstanding cc/s and mobility.

Best team comp is:
1 mesmer
1 guardian
1 warrior
1 ele
1 engi

You are actually the one whos one step behind lol

way too late, i excepted late september..not end of octo…

literally killed the hype right there.

Naurgalen.2374:

So, necro counters doesnt exist anymore?

necro counter doesnt exist when you have multiple ele cleansing for each other
and necro needs to get carried to be good.

i’m pretty sure if the skill get evade, it stops
i bet that will be the same

because 95% of the thieves in this game are bad at conquest.
bam!

no but seriously, because in soloq and teamq, people run builds like condi mes, mm necro and stuff that kills thief a lot, but these builds aren’t actually played in tournament i believe.

explain how PTV engi can output almost the same cleave damage as a marauder warrior.
