Guild Wars 2

can someone tell me what do I need Ascended gear for? I mean, I’m already doing all the content as is, and I’m doing without a single piece of ascended gear. As far as I’m concerned, the only place I’d need Ascended gear is Fractnal level 20+, and let’s be honest here, if I’ve done the dungeon 20 times already I should be able to get a few ascended pieces, right?

ReginaBuenaobra.6953:

As our artists have also said in interviews that one of the purposes of concept art is that it is a way to convey mood to a viewer and to serve as inspiration for designers. Concept art is not necessarily a blueprint to follow by rote. There is stuff in the game that looks like the concept art, but just because something is depicted in the concept art doesn’t necessarily follow that it will make it into the game.

Please take your tinfoil hats off and be reasonable.

Can you explain as to why Anet insist on not having mounts? I seriously don’t understand what’s so terrible about it. Sure you skip content by using mount but if you can make a big game like guild wars 2, I’m pretty sure you can make mounts only usable for people who has completed 100% world completion.

After all, if we’ve already completed and visit the entire world once, the next time should be easier, right?

Plus, what do you do with gift of exploration anyway if you aren’t going to craft Legendary weapons?

I want gear treadmill.
I want more levels.
I want pvp armors and things like expertise so I can unleash hell on new players.

Oh and I want gear refinement so I can +10 all my gears and own wvw.
And no I dont’ wanna play other game I want this to happen to gw2 because I love the lore.

Kaineng will rule all.

Samhayn.2385:

I am disappointed that wvw changes are getting pushed back a month but at the same time I would rather it work when released then have it shoved out the door to appease the people who can’t wait.

As for ESO, so what. People saying eso will kill gw2 will be on the eso boards sayin CU will kill eso. It’s the same thing on all the time with every game.

Wait a minute. Someone actually said ESO is gonna kill gw2, a game that only has you paying once and play for forever? lol.

I would be interested to see Arenanet’s data on the usage of Spirit Weapons. I bet nobody ever uses them. I firmly believe that all 4 should be replaced with useful skills and that as they stand they are pointless filler.

erm dude…I actually use them in pvp lol.

It pretty much rips all other builds to shreds (pre-patch) as not many people can avoid 2 spirit weapon that cause burning and knockdown + knock back with doubled durations. Seriously if you try the build in pvp now you can see a glimpse of what it was like back in the days.

20
20
10/ 0
0
20 /30

Spirit weapon last 50% longer, Spirit weapon cause burning
Spirit weapon does not break when commanded, Spirit weapon recharge 20% faster
100% burn chance when block / justice burn area. Virtue of Resolve remove condition.

Use it right? Enjoy being able to hold an entire node against 3 + by yourself.
(in the old days. Nowadays consider yourself luck if you survive 2)

Will pay 10 dollars – maybe more – for another chance at mad king tower. It was a blast.

Can you post a screenshot of your bank? I wanna share it with my friend. She’s been depressed for weeks I figure she could use a good laugh.

My Dead Characters.9517:

ok, this post is similar to the legendary posts. “i dont want to have to wvw for my legendary” well i dont want to have to pve for mine. the same concept applies here. the devs want you to do ALL aspects of the game, therefore they will put incentives for you to explore these aspects. dont want to do something on there but like one of the other things on there? well some other people dont like what you like on there and like what you do not like. they cannot cater to you until you are a person who likes what they get no matte rwhat it is. they already are gonna make dailies customizable. what more do you want??

But the Legendary is just a skin and you get nothing from it except cosmetic’s (that is until they change that and make it the best weapon(s) in the game, then I can see your arguement as more valid).

True.

But then what do you get from daily?

Some karma jug, which you used to either make legendary or buy exotics. All appearals.

Some mystic coins, which you used to make legendary or exotic. All appearals and can be earned without dailies.

Laurel, which allows you to buy stuff that is 80 % appearal, and 19 % of the non-appearals can be bought with other currencies.

The one amulet that is limited to laurel you don’t really need it to compete.

Gold, which you use to buy appearals.

Honestly, how does ANYONE take dailies and monthlies seriously I have no idea. It’s a useless function and if you already have achievements I really don’t understand what its for, other than making people rage. (and play the game via the boring, grindy way)

Might as well remove it and save us all the breath wasted on debating about it.

Zookeeper.2513:

LightningBlaze.4913:

All mmos forums are full of ridiculous senseless whiners, specially on the genral discussion section…. How can you possibly complain about a very small task for a monthly achievement.

Because while some people don’t mind all the content, others don’t like doing certain parts of the game, ie dungeons, W3, World Events, etc. Having a daily that can be done while doing any of these is great, but with how the monthly is set up now, people have to do parts of the game that they don’t want to do. It’s a legitimate complaint in regards to dailies/monthly. It’s only “crying” or “whining” to those who don’t mind doing it and can’t see past their little bubble and realize “Oh yeah, I can see their point, I wouldn’t want to have to do dungeons/W3/World Events (insert whatever) to complete a daily/monthly.”

It’s kinda ironic that you say people refuse to see from their point of view when you’re refusing to see it from the point of view of the others.

Lemme explain this to you. There are 3 different kind of people here on this forum:

1 : whiners who doesn’t want to do some dailies and are whining about them on forums.

2: People who don’t mind doing it and tell the whiners they don’t have to do it if they don’t want to…which is true.

3: People who doesn’t want to do some dailies, just like the whiners, but instead of whining they simply ignore the dailies altogether and do things they enjoy find it perfectly livable. They, in their spare time, decide to second the people from the 2nd category, telling the whiners it doesn’t have to be like that.

honest to god I can’t remember the last time I did a daily for the sake if doing it. I just did whatever I wanted and the dailies ended up getting completed. I never needed any reward from the daily to get my full exotic. I never needed daily to do anything in the game.

On the contrary, attempting to change the daily will never solves the problem because no one plays the game the same way so why bother?

Plus, they’re already introducing optional dailies + rotation.

So tell me again what’s the point to all this whine? I thought so. It’s been said before and it’ll be said 100 times to come : Daily isn’t the game. If there isn’t a daily that suit your play-style, just do whatever you want. You play the game to have fun. If the dailys aren’t for you, surely there will be other part of the game that you enjoy, just as I enjoy spvp but could not stand wvw for even 1 second.

Do I want it changed? No. because I’m perfectly aware that while I don’t like wvw, there are people who does.

I ever since was a defender that gw2 is not that kind of game, since fractals were released I told ppl that it’s not since you don’t need any ar to get to lvl 80 (I’m there so don’t argue about that if it’s possible or not ) But after the update the game changed to what the dev stated now. I really think this is a bad direction the game takes and I’m as a former gw1 fan dissapointed and afraid that it goes in this direction.

You don’t enjoy the agony resistance treadmill of the fractals? Then just don’t visits fractals of level 10 and beyond, and enjoy the plenty of gaming content that GW2 has to offer and that is completely unrelated to agony resistance, instead.

Problem solved, you are welcome.

Now, can someone please proceed and close this thread, since it is as non-constructive as its 157.623 clones before? Thanks.

~MRA

The problem is solved for now, but Anet already said there will be more content that will require infusions. The longer you say “just don’t play that content” the more content will be unavailable to a player. That is not a realistic point of view.

Anet just need to state clearly there is a treadmill started and people need to either accept that or not.

they HAVE stated clearly that there isn’t going to be a treadmill. It’s been linked many times before during the month of ordeal when the forum is filled to the brim with naysayer such as this. There’s even a 10000 post mega thread made just to contain this kind of cancerous posts.

People just refuse to accept them because they think Anet lies.
The Op is clearly attention seeking posting this almost 3 month after Fractnal was released.

Just read this lines:

When fractals were released there was no gear needed to get to 80-> no geartradmill
Since the patch and the official response you can’t get past 50 anymore without gear-> geartradmill

As I stated in my first post it’s about the change they made, that made it to geartradmill. before I was telling ppl it isn’t because I was able to do fractals without AR now I can’t do this anymore.

Please try to understand and read others posts instead of flaming other that they weren’t here when fractals came out…

btw I was here I woulnd’t be in first group who reached the cap if I wasn’t there.. But if you tell me how to get past 50 without specific gear farmed from daily.. than I’ll take back my accusions…

BTW the post about the snowflake was pretty mutch what I want to say.. I’m concerned about the future..

Urgh….
You know what? Fine. You win.

Omg this game has become a gear treadmill. I can’t advance in fractnal and do the same content I have done 50 times before without specific gear what should I do? I’m very concerned about the future too.

They promised us they wouldn’t introduce gear treadmill and now they are. Dungeons should not be excluded for those who did not wish to grind for new gear. This game is no different than any other MMOs who embraces gear progression. Is there a lawyer anywhere on this forum? Because honestly they went back on their promise and I think I deserve a refund.

The game’s dying slowly and it’d be gone the next time they release some more ascended gear omg i’m telling you gais it’s true!!!! Gw2 is gear progression!!!! Ah !! AH!! GAHHH!

PS. I don’t know what were you smoking but you don’t need Ascended gear to level past 50. I’m assuming when you say 50 you meant fractnal level 50. If you are that deep in, chances are you already have enough drops for ascended gear. hur.

They already did give a clear and precise statement that in the Reddit AMA right after the introduction of Ascended gear, but people tend to ignore these statement.

That agony resistance gear treadmill is for people who ENJOY a treadmill. Those players have a right to get some love from ANet, too. So, yes, I agree that ANet will give them another occasional treadmill in the future. Just as they occasionally release content for PvEers, for WvWers, for sPvPers, daisy pluckers, and so on. That’s just the way ANet wants their game to be, so we better get used to it (or play something different).

However, from all we know, and given all that content ANet has released since launch, I really cannot understand that people still come to the conclusion that, suddenly, ANet would start to ignore all of their customers beside “small customer group X” and only release content for that particular group in the future, when they can make much more money if they would’t.

And I stand by this poster’s statement.

Furthermore I believe that unless there’s a new update coming that releases more gear, post related to Gear Treadmill should be automatically flagged and moved to some place else, not because I have anything against free speech, but because it’s been said, paraphrased, reposted, reposted again, reposted yet again, reposted so many times it’s not even funny anymore.

Aren’t you being a little dramatic ?lol I’m pretty sure priks exist everywhere in the world. Turn on your tv- there’s loads of them on the news.

Simply move on and try to live your life the best you can has always been the solution.

-Join a guild and get in goods with people
-Nag guildie for mats / farm yourself (takes twice as long if you wanna do it on your own, but that would be dumb as you don’t have to be. Plenty of current legendary holders were supported by their guilds)

-Have guildie portal you for jumping puzzle medals
-Save up all your jug of liquid karma and get a lot of karma booster (1 or 2 week worth + monthly)
Drop orichalcum recipe into forge

nag guildie for mats some more

Get lucky with Precursor / save up / borrow money from friend (I’ve seen people dropping 4 yellow into forge and get a dusk. Now does this happens often? No. But it does happen.)

farm some more if you happen to not get enough magic clover
Realistically speaking you should be able to get one within 1~2 month. (twice as long if you are doing it on your own)

Now the time it takes really wouldn’t be that long – the problem is getting there. Plenty of people have given up before they even start (myself included) not because the list of requirements is ridiculous, but because getting them is boring as hell.

It’s the same 6 month back. It’ll be the same 6 month from now on unless they specifically patch it to require less mats.

Good luck

Each new piece of AR gear is meant to allow you to progress to further fractal levels, which have increasingly better rewards compounding with higher scaling difficulty.

This is the statement.

I don’t need to care I have the cap for the next year + nothing left to do for me there. But I care in generally that this is the bad direction the game takes. So I hope I find supporters that are gonna make the dev rethink their new system.

thanks for your oppingons

Oh god not this again…

Guild wars 2 should release an expansion contain purely of jumping puzzles. Honestly this is probably one of the game’s greatest saving grace.

It’ll be a hit i’m sure :P

TheDaiBish.9735:

But even if you gave choice, people would still complain because not every choice would fit into their playstyle. When it comes to things like this, you need to have some sort of challenging aspect to it otherwise the rewards are just handed.

True story.
I’ll be the first to complain not having a daily or monthly for logging in or forum posting.
Damnnn The game sure is going downhill fast…

- Better Orr

- New currency (moar daily grind yay no. Just no.)

- Dynamic Event CD and Drops

- No more placing siege in jumping puzzle within wvw

fragnot.8073:

Did i just hit a wall or something ?

I totally lost interest in playing GW2. Got 2 level 80’s, and cant see a reason why i should keep rolling new characters.

Cant really see why i should grind my way through certain dungeons to get “x” cosmetic gear. If i allready got a set im happy with.

sPvP is not fun in this game, imo. Balanced or not-balanced, im just not getting “caught” by it.

WvW zergs is insanely boring.

Is there anything left for me, or am i “thinking” wrong about stuff..

Wait for the ladder to come out in Feburary. If you still think Spvp is not for you then yea, it probably time to say auf wiedersehen to guild wars 2.

Sorry I’m kinda confuse by your post. What do you mean?

Narkosys.5173:

Of course it is mandatory it is the only way to get your ascend amulet.

Well firstly, it isn’t and secondly, getting an ascended amulet isn’t mandatory either.
No, it’s not.

People keep saying, “forced”, I don’t think it means what they think it means.

The people using “forced” or “mandatory” are using the terms in their technical and contextual sense. When you choose vertical progression to give players a sense of progression you are instituting a non-optional gear grind. The stat variance of the initial pieces is irrelevant to the issue. Vertical progression progresses. You either chase the stats or slowly become unable to play the game.

Then we should just remove the dailies and get it over with.
No more people getting tricked into thinking that they were forced.
No more whining about having to do boring stuff.

At this point removing daily and monthly seem to me the ideal solution, and for the love of me I don’t even know why it’s there in the first place.

I spvp all day and I barely notice it.
If the game’s fun, you should play it because its fun.
But apparently everyone’s playing for the dailies these days…

The question should not be warrior or Guardian.

The question should be Thief or Mesmer.

There. I’ve just said what every warrior is thinking about on these forums.

Braxxus.2904:

DuhGeneral.8940:

idk where all get these thief backstab numbers from but i average an 8-9k backstab on lvl 80’s in wvw no matter the class except guardians it like 6k

+ the 4-5k steal/mug
+ the 2k cnd
THEN the 8-9k backstab

So 14-16k pretty much instantly. Commence 2 spam. Profit.

a 3 key combo? Screw that. Just press kill shot and get 12-13k damage.

Seriously warriors are super fun and are one of the top 2 classes in dungeons. Those of you who complain are crazy. Enjoy the class for what it is and don’t compare it to some other game.

Or 100b.

lmao sorry if it seems like I keep bringing this up but you gotta admit…

it IS one of the warrior skills that really hurts.

nakoda.4213:

if warriors are kitten in PvP why are there videos of 5 war teams face rolling people?

they dont seem to mewl about lack of ability.

oh shi son… a banner/support warrior.
Well if this guy thinks warrior is all right then everyone should probably just shut up.

Well I don’t actually think there’s a lack of content I thought Guild Missions arepretty exciting- oh wait I forgot where I was.

The most depressing part of the entire gw2 forums.

Move along, move along….

Royce.6835:

*they are adding them in their feb patch like it says on their website. *

Do we get a ladder for normal matches as well or is it just torny only?
Either way, thank god for that lol.

But really, Ladders are kinda important for pvp to run, if you know what I’m saying.

Tbh Spirit weapon WAS kinda overpowered in sPvP solo. You can’t damage them. Spec into eternal + burning + 100% burn on block (or Aoe Justice burn ) you’re basically producing an endless flaming apocalypse that refuse to go away for a good ten twenty second. Did i I mention 2 active knock downs and continuous knock back from the hammer?

All in all i understand why the nerf happened.
I just wasn’t expecting it to get nerfed so severely. Now the spirits weapon barely makes it pass 10 seconds. Spirit weapon build is kinda hardcore now, and not in a good way.

Those spirit weapon really need a bit more hp.

Right so after months and months of whining about ladders I’m starting to get a little bit curious. Does a ladder screws up the gameplay or something? I seriously can’t see the harm of having in game ladders but maybe I’m not seeing it clearly enough.

Maybe there’s a reason why we’re not having them 6 month after the game’s released.

Royce.6835:

leashmaygoss.2140:

he’s right unfortunately lol

he’s wrong lol. the reason there is no competition and the reason everyone seems to suck is because the pvp in the game isn’t serious. there is no ladder, no rating, no stats. just a rank that shows you’ve put 700 hours into the game.

True story lol.
We seriously desperately need an in-game ladder.

Guys guys clearly rifle + banner warriors are the best…

I wet myself on my guardian everytime I see a warrior holding a rifle.

@Xeph, so you agree that air runes are broken; yet you tried to derail the post. Glad you admit that your whole post was unneccesary and by virtue deserving of my snide remark.

Well there is no hope when a person decides to be narrow minded, I addressed other issues discussed within the topic, forum threads can be used to discuss various other issues be it that the initial topic was diverted from, it doesn’t mean that I cannot discuss other peoples issues or accusations; these are the forums sir get with the program or just don’t post at all.
Sadly your not even a person worth discussing this any further with, learn to look at the bigger picture next time and have a little more respect maybe people will show it to you aswell in the future.

Translation : I’m trying to think of a good reason why I decided to hijack this topic and turn it into something else but I couldn’t so I’m just gonna say you aren’t worth my time peace!

The topic is clearly discussing existing game bug. The dev have in fact stated that, while some of the points regarding thieves stealth may be working as intended , there was in fact a bug shown in the video and it would be addressed.

The OP was clearly listing everything he believes to be worth inspecting, and you decided to narrow the entirety of his threads down to 1 issue…. which is fair enough.
No one said you couldn’t do that; but then it DOES makes what everyone says about your posting pretty legit – they ARE pretty pointless.

Dradiin.8935:

It is a choice to decide to do the dailies, no one is forcing you or anyone else to complete them.

Just like it is a choice to acquire Legendary weapon skins.

I do not feel forced into doing any of these things, if i want the reward for there completion then i will work on completing it.

Oh stop it around with ‘its a choice’ arguments. They are old and overused and a logical fallacy since a game should not be considered a chore now should it?. This game should be fun not a chore, don’t forget the OP main point.

Man once said: “If you can eat all the biscuits, where’s the fun in biscuits?” That man was an idiot. But he was right. Perhaps their parrents are letting them play too much.

Daily IS by choice. Saying anything otherwise would be denying reality.

The only reason why you consider daily a chore is because it’s giving a reward to doing things you don’t want to do. Never did you stop and think maybe fun is subjective. Or maybe daily aren’t meant to be fun “For everyone”.

And why should they be?

All i ever do is pvp all day. Do I complain about not having enough pvp related daily? No. Because I understand what dailies are meant to do : Anytime I decide I’m too bored to pvp anymore the dailies are there, giving ideas and rewards as to what to do.

Do I have to do them? No.
Do I do them all? No. I hate pve that much.
Do I find them chores? No.

Why not? Because I didn’t do them – instead I just do what I want and play how I like, and I’m never ever punished for it. Once or twice I finished a few mob killing ones. I did them when I’m bored of pvping and I’m happy to say they provided adequate distraction.

As for saying everything in a game is supposed to be fun, that’s pure utopia. name a game that is 100% fun, and I can guarantee you there will be someone who doesn’t like it.

ginzo.8792:

the arguement i keep hearing is “its easy , i just do it then get on with what i want to be doing”
but this kinda validates my point. gaming shouldnt be about doing your chores before being able to have fun. maybe this is coming from folk who are under the control of parents etc that make them do some chores before being allowed to game. So they accept it.
I mean i have to go to work , pick my son up from school , get him to bed etc . before i have time to game. So i dislike then having the game make me do chores to tick off the daily before i can just get on with how i like to play.

nothing in game should feel like a chore , everything should be fun , and while i accept fun is subjective. I’m not hearing much " i find the dailys fun" feedback.
if you find doig the daily fun then thats cool. none of this debate applys to you.

my point is that the daily should be 100% organic a by product of having fun the way you like to play. Not a chore that makes you stop what you like to do cos you want to complete random chores in a set time.

Fair enough. In your case it probably would be better to remove the daily entirely because you’re under the impression that Daily is the game – not the act of doing daily themselves.

Anet is trying to encourage different type of plays with their daily rotation. Pvpers who dislike anything pve will have incentive to go out and kill stuff ( then come on forum to complain about daily), just as pve player now has incentive to pvp.

Daily is not the game. To complete your daily is not the goal of your play – having fun is. If for any reason you feel like a certain daily ain’t worth your time you can and should just stop doing them. You are never obliged to finish dailies, nor do you need to as you can obtain max gear in this game quickly enough and every reward after you get exotic/ascended is pretty superficial imo. The dailys are only there so people will go out of their way to try different things.

Daily is not a chore and shouldn’t be. Daily is " hey you get this if you do this". You don’t get penalty for not doing them and they reset everyday. You can do the ones you like and leave the ones you hate. Dislike everything? don’t do em.

And since dailies apparently “forces” (massive quotation marks there) SOME people out of their preferred style of play, naturally people thought they’re boring.

Really, if today Anet make new dailies tailored to your needs, others will be crying about it just like you are because it’s “forcing” them to play according to your playstyle – so really no adjustment will ever please everyone.

Nuff with the joke, I still say more reward would be nice. Maybe make the daily harder or something I unno lol

So basically, what we have now is an obscene amount of things, but you reckon they should reward more, and in line with that make it more difficult…

I’m struggling to understand the logic.

I might have been exaggerating a tiny bit… still there’s alot that goes on in a daily for casual players. Just saying. Make it hard and increase the reward by 1 tenth-fold while adding a “little bit” more difficulty is what i’m saying.

Funny. Somewhere else in a different server, someone got a precursor by dropping 4 rares GS into Mythic Forge….

You’re Insane :p (over-exaggeration FTL, which goes along with the “obscene” statement you made). How many event’s does it take to get 4500 karma? And you really don’t get mystic coins any other way. It’s all profit for just playing the game, pretty much in about 30 minutes of your time, at most.

30 min? too much :P I log on to check TP and log off.

Nuff with the joke, I still say more reward would be nice. Maybe make the daily harder or something I unno lol

nah log on forum is good enough

complaining about daily gets stale fast.

But that’s part of my playstyle.

Too bad!

But fear not, no one is saying you can ONLY log on and not complain :P You just don’t get extra rewards.

Dailies are cool aren’t they?

yeah its true.
i was waiting for those earth elementals to spawn so i could kill them in 2-3 swings of GS.

i was letting the refugees get hurt so i could heal them because if i defend them they will succeed everytime.

i was repairing post signs, but then realize they suddenly stop, so i didnt get to see where the refugees come from (but thats probably later in the story).

all in all, i didnt feel heroic.
my head couldnt create a cool story with that.
there was also a flame legion camp near the road.
i stormed it. stayed in the center, pulled everybody and spin to win.
spit on the corpses, took a few trinkets, copper pieces, and went back to check if the elementals had spawn back.

im all for the open world stuff, but unfortunately it doesnt cut it as endgame.
instead the prelude could have been an instanced mini area/dungeon in which everybody is pumped to 80 (a mini fractal).

and it would have been better imo.

true story.

how are you supposed to feel heroic when the event re trigger every 20 minute?

Peasant : Help ! There’s a giant attacking our town!

Hero : *kills the giant *

Peasant : oh thank you, kind sir ! you are a true hero!

Hero : no worries, mate. I’m just a good Samaritan passing by. So long!

(comes back 10 minute later and found the town in ruin.)

Hero : wtf didn’t i just kill the giant?

Peasant : It came back…

#(!#)&!#

Yeah erm… heroic!

Log in – 1 daily

Login in 3 times – monthly

Log in for longer than 5 min – 1 daily

log in for longer than 30 min – 1 daily

log in for longer than 1 hour – 1 daily

Draw 1 weapon – 1 daily

Swap weapon in town – 1 daily

Force your character to say " I can outrun a centaur " 1 daily
etc etc

you get the gist ;P

Can’t do that: Logging in doesn’t suit my play style.

Maybe we should have a ‘log in the forums and complain about Dailies’ daily.

I think it’s funny to see Anet trying to get us to do an obscene amount of things for 1 reward. Someone in that company needs to learn the balance between labor and gain.

One reward?

• 1 Laurel
• 4500 Karma
• Exp
• Coin
• Mystic Coin
• Chance of a cash shop item

Yess because that is so much different from other event reward aside from the laurel…

But point taken.
not 1 reward, but 6 small reward. (5 and 1 half considering the last one is chanced.)

I still say it’s not enough :P

Reloading.3260:

Some form of speed increase is pretty much mandatory for my characters.

My thief and ranger both always use the signets.

On my warrior for my general use build I have +20% swiftness duration from two runes of the pack, +20% boon duration from 20 points in tactics and +20% boon duration from omnomberry cream food just so I can have perma Signet Of Rage swiftness when doing open world stuff. Can’t stand to play him without it.

If I couldn’t obtain some form of permanent speed increase and was stuck to anets default turtle speed I just wouldn’t bother playing. It’s that infuriating.

Wtb Mounts.

well when the story is not pew pew, then there is actually a story.

i think i read like 5 lines of dialogues in the whole prelude.

wtf you read? what’s wrong with you???

Dralor.3701:

100b isn’t even that good, any half decent player has learned to counter/dodge that ages a go.

You can totally see it coming and prevent it unlike other spike damage, say mug+cnd+backstab, or a ranged stun then spike from a mesmer.

Not when you’re already engaged. That’s pretty much the entire point of the post…OP is tired of playing like a thief, waiting for someone to start engaging and jump them unsuspected.

I say nerf 100b and buff survive so they can go up front and tangle like a true warrior.

Except there’s no need to because we only ever get 5 utility and we have like 25 of them. Utility slot is precious – we know that without the signet. The handicap/sacrifice is completely unnecessary, and gaining 1 more skill that isn’t essentially useless in combat – save for the 5 sec blind if you call that useful – can also give player more rotation possibilities.

SoS is not a special case. Every single skill you equip is at the cost of another skill. SoS is no different. I personally have 6 skills, not healing or Elite, that I want to have equipped, and SoS is not one of them. I have to pick my skills at the cost of all the others I want.

SoS is nice to have, but it is far from necessary. Do you want speed, or a teleport? A teleport or a pull? A pull or a stealth? A stealth or something more offensive?

Anything is better than SoS.

But I’m not just talking about soS only.
All signet/skills with passive speed buff should go.
It’s a skill that’s useful out of combat, but it’s hardly worth getting for combat and if combat finds you with SoS/ other Passive speed on you have 1 less utility to work with.

True your build wont be broken without it – that’s the point. It’s a useless skill for combat. Why not have something that you can get a kick out of instead of something you use only to get around?

Why do this, when you can get cool mounts that dismount you when engaged?

Lol this is why you get 1 person responding to your post, and 62 replies in other thread.

You don’t even understand exactly what make 100b so deadly.
It’s not the damage. It’s the stun and haste that comes before. SoM

I see a thief backstabs me for 6k I drop a block/blind/whatever that stops him and that thief’s a goner. He can’t dodge, he stealth for like 3 second, and he has absolutely no survivability.

I see a warrior using 100b, I can’t, most probably because I’ve already used my stun break. Even if I haven’t used my stun break that’s 1 skill I have to use before I can use another to stop the actual 100b —- hasted. Meaning harder to move out of.

With thief, I’ll just have to stop the actual attack and it’d be enough.

You want warrior to not hit and run, sure. I want the same thing. Every warrior is 100b these days.

But :

"
believe that the main way to increase Warrior’s viability and potency in big fights (or any fight for that matter) is to revamp their healing abilities and give them a way to be immune to conditions for a short period of time. Kind of like “Endure Pain” but instead of immune to damage, immune to all types of crippling, bleeding, things like that. This would synergize with their whole “dive in and burst someone” play style that they already have with frenzy and bull’s rush, where they can activate yet another buff to increase their potency and really dive in like a “Warrior” would, and unleash an assault that will make people fear for their life a little bit, rather than just kiting the warrior with crippling and chill effects while everyone laughs at him and he explodes into a million pieces under the focus fire of 9 quadrillion AoE effects "

Nowhere did you stated you want warrior to stop relying on burst. You just said you want a debuff immune – which pretty much is invuerability btw – and you never said you would compromise with less burst until your latest post.

Who has failed to read?

On top of that you repeated your post in 3 succession – childish much? If that’s by accident, then i forgive you. I’m a big person.

Lol, it wasn’t an accident. I think it’s a bug. I edited it and its only written there once.. can’t fix it.

Anwyay, you’re right, I did say that. But now that you mentioned “compromisation” I personally would give up the high end burst of 100b for more control and survivability with immunities. This would make a warrior more of a warrior instead of a melee glass cannon lol. I just think it’s silly. The playstyle literally only works in pugs or free tournaments. once you go into paid, the game is VERY different. When playing against top teams, if you try your stun and 100b, you’re going to die verrrrry fast.

Now we are talking constructively. Yes that would indeed make warrior more like a warrior and it’s something I’ve been opting for. Buff survive, nerf 100b.

But some warrior cling on to it like its their last ray of hopes, so you get a bunch of people asking for more viable warrior playstyle other than 100b, and all chickening out to defend their 100b build when someone askes for a 100b nerf.

Honestly, if they’re so sick of 100b why are they all wetting themselves when someone suggest a nerf? I think everyone knows the answer.

They just want their class buffed so they get more toys to blast people with.
If that isn’t hypocrisy I don’t know what is.

Good going chap, glad we can reach an understanding

Warrior needs more viable playstle than just 100b rush.

Imo We can start by reducing the damage they do with 100b ( or longer cd ) and buff the survivability of gs/som builds. (give debuff removers)

This way we get less cheese warrior and more people willing to try other builds. And then we can buff other warrior builds from there so people actually have a choice with warriors.

Your solution to what is probably the worst (debatable warrior vs engy) class in the game is to nerf it?

Other builds need a buff, the only concern is that in buffing other weapons/builds they dont somehow allow for a combo w the existing 100b spec to become OP.

If 100b doesn’t get nerfed – no matter how slightly – even if you do buff other builds ( unless to the same calibre as 100b build where you still get a decent burst while becoming more survivable.) people will be more inclined to play 100b build (newb at least). Why press several buttons to kill someone when you can press 3?

Plus, you said it yourself.

“in buffing other weapons/builds they dont somehow allow for a combo w the existing 100b spec to become OP. "

So how do we do that? Easiest way out. nerf 100 b.

I really don’t see what’s so bad about it o,o

PS. I thought you want other builds buff because you only got 100b to play with? if you’re so sick of 100b why do you go into defensive mode when people ask for 100b nerf, especially when you’re getting what you want : that is buff to other warrior builds? Something ain’t right here….
