using a burst skill for your equipped weapon will now set the recharge of all adrenaline tiers of that burst skill

Does anyone understand this??

It means both weapon sets will share a single burst cooldown. So if you use your longbow burst then switch to, say, hammer, you’ll need to wait for the 7+ second cooldown even if you have enough adrenaline.

I think? ANet’s writing isn’t very clear.

uuuh wow so that a huge nerf right?? i mean no more blast finishing?
and no more swap to GS > fast and cheap adrenaline lvl 1 burst?? omg!!

using a burst skill for your equipped weapon will now set the recharge of all adrenaline tiers of that burst skill

Does anyone understand this??

Just lol..

Premade is an organized group?

When you join Unranked there are no premade groups right?

Or is it?

No, there are pre-mades in unranked, too. It’s not always a five person group, some “pre-made” teams are 2, 3, or 4 people grouped plus solo pugs to fill out their number.

OK.. didnt know that, but issnt premade for ranked?

Then whats the difference between unranked(solo arena.. but can be a team also..) and ranked (team)?

Premade is an organized group?

When you join Unranked there are no premade groups right?

Or is it?

We’ll have more weapons and legends to show off in the future, but this will have to appease your appetites for now. All of the revenant skills and abilities I’ve discussed today will be included in a future beta, so keep on the lookout for them. See you all on the battlefield!

So we get many more weeks where they show us only little…

Why not show us all stuff of revenant in 1 week? we have more professions!

This new stuff/Poi is so kitten slow and small!

Why issnt treb a ground targeting skill??

I find it really annoying to predict.. treb just feels clunky (all trebs!) dont like it.. gimme a skyhammer targeting skill or something..

I think the #1 problem with treb is > its just not fun to use it!

Why doesnt players drop a supply when downed by default??
—————————————————————-
Can anyone tell me why i even care about killing people if i dont get anything from it?

points? >> its all about killing lord

When you try to kill someone there is just no reward! people dont even WANT to fight because all they do is rush to supply and rush back.. you wont be able to kill them if they dont want to fight.

and dont forget! in the time you are TRYING to kill someone you do NOTHING for your own team or for winning…
———————————

Yeah nothing new i guess..

Nope

I am using a different mouse (Razar naga) with allot of buttons..
Without this mouse i am really bad :-P cant walk and press buttons at once so thats why i bought this expensive mouse

Thanx for your info, i didnt played the beta but this is a nice summary!

Would love to see some content for bigger groups for 10-20 man.
Maby give every dungeon a raid path also or maby make the harderst path a raid path.

Belzebu.3912:

Yeah, we’ll probably get nothing this week.
If we get any article or a video it will be something about the beta that happened.

Manu.6078:

It’s Durmand Priory castle

lol ok.. weird its IN the LA map…

On the east side of LA there is this big building.. cant get to it because its outside the map…

Assassin X.8573:

Theory Crafting with that_shaman’s datamined builder on dulfy.net
Assuming nothing changes, I believe I will be playing something along the lines of this (albeit, everything could change, and our specialization could prove to actually be good, but im doubtful about that, but who knows!):

GS and Axe/Shield Build

with Celestial or zerk and hoelbrak runes in Both wvw/spvp. With GS and Axe/Shield, possibly switching the grandmaster trait from berserker power to the axe mastery trait. As it is currently unavailable for testing, we will not know what will work most effectively, obviously.

for GS/LB I will switch to a variant:
switching the adept shield mastery to dogged because I would no longer benefit from shield less shield mastery.

Now for some fun builds and theorycrafting!
Mace/shield + Hammer: CC
Sword/Sword + Axe/Axe : Bladedancer/Edgemaster
Variation 1: Blademaster
Variation 2: Edgemaster
Possible Shoutty Hambow Banner Point Holder

PVE Phalanx Strength dps

About the GS/X builds.. i think everyone will run the same traits (maby some difference in discipline.. )

And some links doesnt seem to work..

And btw that dulfy site is so kitten SLOOOW!! whats wrong with it?? something issnt right about there calculator.. it makes your browser almost crash :-P

Spartacus.3192:

I dont use full knights.

You can see how much toughness it gives you by playing with this calculator

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?

Yep sorry was finding the damage reduction amount.. gw2skills doesnt give it but http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/ still does (site is very outdated but it still calculates the amount of reduction.. it even have a manual input)

How does it perform in wvw?

And what is the maximum toughness you can get from a full Knight set?

Swap “Defy Pain” for the new “Last Stand”

Tman.6349:

Valkyrie and Cavalier

Only if you want vit to be main / toughness to be main

If you want power to be main then: NO there is no such combination.

Larynx.2453:

nicknamenick.2437:

hitting someone with an 8k Evi and saying something like: “That felt good!” or “You should have dodged it” or "Made my day or anything cool..

And suddenly everyone who plays warrior for more than 5 minutes mutes dialogue.

yet there are shout warriors everywhere..

maby give it an 33% chance to say something on a burst attack or something..
Maby just say something like: Yeah! should do the job also..

“Bladetrail”

yeah so i am using the skin volcanus.. but whenever you use “Bladetrail” you trow a lvl 1 white trash greatsword.

Is it possible to give this skill an visual update?

People running legendary GS trow an legendary GS when in down state (dunno why because rock issnt a GS..)
So i think it shouldnt be that hard to rework this into Bladetrail??

“Final Thrust”
The sound of this skill doesnt match… and the animation seems just boring and slow.. its like sticking someone with an needle..

“Brutal shot”
All rifle skills look the same.. maby apply some smoke effect or something on a skill called brutal shot.. make it more brutal looking?

“STANCES”
All stances have some aura effect.. make them bigger! you can hardly see them..

“Blood effect”
When using sword you must have seen the red effect on auto attack..
Guardians have allot of blue effect on skills.. maby Anet can give some more orange/red effects on warr skills? (not too much! we are not a fairy… )

“Sounds”
Warr is about burst attacks from adrenaline.. maby give a sound effect when using a burst that also crits or something.. hitting someone with an 8k Evi and saying something like: “That felt good!” or “You should have dodged it” or "Made my day or anything cool..

Dunno i think Anet really could improve some of warr visual stuff..

Soon 6/0/6/0/6

For now go GS+Axe/shield for WvW
GS for its mobility

traits: 4/0/6/0/4 (more dmg to GS) or 2/0/6/0/6 (more dmg to Axe)
You can go 4/0/4/0/6 also but it doesnt really chance much..

Anyway soon its all 6/0/6/0/6 no question needed anymore…

You dont even need to block someone to do this:

here are 2 other ways:

Select the player > go to the little arrow on the left of the screen (party UI)
When you click there you see the opponent wvw named and you can inv/join him in party

Even when somebody doesnt approve your invite you can still see his full name in chat saying he left the party.. (since the party chat update)

Or select him > invite again > go to portal or get away far enough > his full name will be displayed in the party UI even when he doesnt approve yet.

Thick skin :-P

Adrenline when you get hit.

BurrTheKing.8571:

I would rather have the damage on dodge for blind clear

Hey Burr, can you explain this?

Because this trait only removes blinds when you dodge into melee range so it miss the dodge-attack on someone, only then it removes blind..

So it doesnt work if you dodge back (away from someone) the dodge-attack still triggers ofc.. but because you dont hit something (so you dont miss also)

So in the end its just faster to Auto attack for removing a blind compared to a dodge (wasting a dodge.. and the radius is so small that most of the time it doesnt removes the blind also)

I find this trait kinda meh.. if only they could increase the range a little bit..

Hey digitalruse:

What i think Anet did (and also talked about in the stream) is that they dont compensate these stats by gear but they reworked them into some traits:

not 100% sure about all but a few examples:
-Necro is getting a trait that gives +100% condi duration on everything! :-P
-Or there are traits for guardian to increase burning durations
-Warriors getting a trait that increase boon duration

And there are many more..

So what they did is that builds that need boon/condi durations they build that into some traits that you DO want to get if you wanna go for those builds..

sorry for my bad english.

PLs make the amulets something like this:

(the numbers are just an example)

Berserker:
+1000 power
+700 precision
+700 ferocity
+250 toughness
+250 vitality

Soldier:
+1000 power
+700 toughness
+700 vitality
+250 precision
+250 ferocity

So pls dont only boost the current stats.
Because using something like berserker amulet with only a buff to its vitality but zero toughness is very squishy

Without a question GS/LB or like ALL burst melee builds also are going to be:

6/0/6/0/6

Condi is going to be:

0/6/6/6/0 or 0/6/6/0/6

And ofc shoutbow is going to be
0/0/6/6/6

And hambow:
hmmmmm well dunno because its kittened now

And thats it! we all run the same :-P

Yeah but we miss 10% toughness to power trait…

(still we become stronger in total.. but thats for ALL classes..)

4. Considering that the removal of stats from trait lines could significantly alter our desired armor/weapons, will we be able to change the gear we have without having to buy it all again?

When magic find was removed from armor/weapons, we were given the one-time ability to choose the new stats (unless I’m misremembering, which is possible due to the fact that I have the memory of a turnip). Is something similar planned for the trait overhaul? As it stands, my berserker gear is useful in many situations — but sometimes I invest points into trait lines that provide extra defense stats (vitality, toughness, healing). If those stats aren’t tied to the trait lines any more, I might want to change out my berserker armor/weapons to be a bit more tanky. Not at all thrilled by the idea of potentially replacing all of the gear on all of my characters.
--————————————————————————————————————————

So much this!

Many characters have almost full berserker sets with the help of traits giving toughness/healing power.. now i have to swap gear for getting these stats more but the problem is that allot of stat combinations are just not great!

I mist options like:

Power(main stat)/prec/tough
Power(main stat)/tough/Ferocity

now you are FORCED into:

Power/prec/tough(main stat)
Power/tough(main stat)//Ferocity

Why not take the stat combinations we have now in the game but let US choice the main stat!

Tournament / Pax / twitch / DPS / legends / digitalprosports / world tournaments..

Dunno maby its me but cant Anet make a website corner for all of these events + info and also showing what teams are playing.. when.. where the stream is and who is casting it etc etc..

I feel like its Always been organized by the community and not by Anet self.
You often find some info here and on reddit or somewhere else,

Dunno it just lacks some proper info i think (@OP not your post :-)

Maby something like a agenda on the website where you can click for more info + all needed info??

(ps, people that join these tournament often read all about it.. but many casual players dont know much about this and often doesnt watch because we dont now about it.. maby some in game info? i often find out that i am too late for the stream or when i watch the stream i am watching a French stream or the wrong team :-P
get lost on the streaming site etc etc.. i dont talk much about other games but a game like WoW had a proper agenda for things like this. )

they should also do more dmg to players and allot more vs guards.

without vsync i normally have around 200+ now its 119…

As I said elsewhere, XP is a 13 year old OS which isn’t even supported by Microsoft anymore. I wouldn’t even expect ANet to keep supporting it. It’s long past time to upgrade your systems if you wanna run modern software.

Windows any version after 98SE is a flat POS. all they had to do was keep the ease of use and simple menus, then make improvements; but what it’s really about is onion coding, cheapness, and fluffing the consumers. Pretending to reinvent the wheel every couple of years is just tiresome, and most people dont want to bother. I know I wont be giving them more money ever again, and if games wont run on my system, then I guess I will just find something else to do.

oooh yes lets go back to win98 without NTFS or kerberos and so much more!!

Yes why not just type all your password and bankaccount/creditcards in plain text and broadcast it to anyone..

win98 was so simple because the world around it was simple..

…..

BS. Win XP is STILL a very stable and good OS. Win 2000 was the most stable business OS for many years. VISTA was a mess because M$ assumed vendors would write decent drivers (and 64 bit drivers) and when they didn’t M$ had to go back and do it themselves (the OS itself was ok, but the driver fiasco tainted the name badly).

Windows 7 is still the most stable and decent OS M$ ever developed.

Now Windows 8 I will agree with your assessment….the general changes for the desktop version were simply an uncalled for attempt to unify desktops and tablets (which VERY few users actually want).

I’m not going to argue that the changes to the UI over those years were always a good thing, but Windows 7 is MANY times easier to use than 98SE. Users not liking “change” is not a valid reason to call an OS a POS.

Back on topic, this issue does NOT appear to be OS dependent at all. If it is a setting (compatibility mode) that needs to be changed, Anet support should be aware of this and present it as a solution to customers. That being said, the reports seem to be coming from a lot more than just XP users.

Saying win2000 was the most stable version is just dumb also, win2000 lacks so much compared to these days that you cant say its the most stable version..

These days an OS have to deal with so much more compared to those old operating systems.. most of them where very unsecure because it was so simple.. thats why its stable but NOT stable compared to these days!

you might want to check if your stilll using strength runes..

Somehow it switched to runes of adventure…
Its the same animation as Strength runes.

Hello,

I am a confused warrior because my character keeps saying: Stand your ground!!

Something is wrong with the voices

from 200 to 119 in LA

Belzebu.3912:

How exactly you removed those 4 precision points?
If it was due level scaling, then it may happen because of the crit rate formula include the level as parameter.

Min max some gear..

something wrong with it.. it doesnt always say xx,xx

example:

1898 precision results into 50,28% crit chance
1894 precision results into 50,9% crit chance

See that the second stat i LESS but still shows more ..
I think there should be saying 50,09 but now it says 50,9%

just a little bug but still confusing

dominik.9721:

@Nick
Sorry mate but sb. who is always talking about greatsword, burst warrior and physical utilities isn’t in the position to ask " do you even pvp"
Further it seems you didn’t really get what’s the key strength of the shoutwarrior. It’s not only the support he offers, he offers also a lot of immobilize which is super important when you focus targets.
Just rewatch the opening on legacy from oRNG , killing 5G immediatly – ROMs fear me and his immobilize were significant for tage and frae.

do you even pvp m8?

Did i say the build is crap?
No i didnt

Read my post and you see its an reply to someone talking nonsense about warriors.

But if you want to talk about shoutbow, i agree the build is good. and its called a support build for a reason.
But that doesnt say warr is in a good position in total because warr is now pushed into this boring support build while almost every other build is becoming a joke.

dominik.9721:

Sorry mate but sb. who is always talking about greatsword, burst warrior and physical utilities isn’t in the position to ask " do you even pvp"

do you even pvp m8?

So people that only play meta build play pvp? when you try different builds or want different builds to succeed that player suddenly doesnt play pvp or doesnt know enough about pvp?

Doesnt make sense.

And nobody have to be in some kind of position to ask a question.

Hlord.5940:

serious answer for warrior:
they have the best traits, try to play it in pvp and you will see
they heal a lot, bring a lot of boons, have a lot of interrupt, highest hp and armor before adding in traits and trinket

You even play PVP?

Who gives a kitten about highest HP or armor? lol thats the only reason warrior need something like healing signet because they lack EVERYTHING else that other classes do have

And warriors bring allot of boons?? WUT?

Ow and they have allot of intterupt? well not if you play the only build played right now (by ROM) shoutbow.. how many interrupts do you think it have??

Right..

Sure go and say warr have hambow, well too bad because that build is a joke now

Why has warrior gone from the most versatile profession to being pigeonholed into an extremely dull support role?

Sooo much this! i hate it that warrior is now a dull boring shout support pet.

ALL that warrior is good for is:

Aoe field for burning and getting might
> use shouts

Wow and thats the warrior these days.. from HEAVY dps to boring support build

Aim for 2800-3000 armor (not more!) i prefer 3000 in wvw.. but 2800 in pve
And around 50% crit chance

ALL OTHER STATS >
MAIN: power
Second: precision
third: Ferocity (NEVER think you should have more of this but less power.. ALWAYS power before ferocity)

nothing else!

Good mix is:

Berserker ofc
Cavalier or knight.. but only to aim for that armor amount
Assasin (only if you dont have 50% crit chance)

Full in your traits firtst, then aim for the armor around 2800-3000
rest zerker, and if your crit chance is to low swap some berserker for assassin.. thats it

shoutbow warrior.. if there is anything else left for warrior pressing some boring shouts..
