Blacktruth is right it’s time people start to learn and play this game the way it was meant to be like at launch before casuals started asking for nerfs, they were the ones responsible for the warrior nerfs and rise of celestial builds glad anet is twisting things back to it’s origins. I hope this time anet doesn’t listen to these whiners.
Rampage is balanced it’s what elites are meant to be “ELITE” when used at the right moment they are rewarding. Thank you anet for making warrior a warrior yes high risk rewarding profession.
.
6) INCREASE PLAYER CAP The map is large enough to support more characters, and would just be fun and help slower clases feel more useful.
No, matchmaking is already a joke, increasing the cap will make it even worse, the population simply isn’t enough, that’s why 2v2 or even 3v3 arenas for me was a better solution during this dark time of spvp.
Channeling needs to change trust me on this one anet, if you guys don’t change it, expect a lot of threads on this matter once the expansion hits.
That’s the main reason why I didn’t play this second stronghold beta. I played the first beta and one of the things that bothered me was how little interaction between players, this is not a zergfest but a speedfest. The channelling is such a poor design.
FFXIV is doing well and I have to admit that I’m more hyped for Heavensward right now than I am for Heart of Thorns.
That is how I feel too. I’m also very happy with the perfect timing of witcher 3, enough to get me out of this hype crap from anet.
Shoutbow isn’t better at bunkering than guardian, shoutbow is not even a bunker build to start with but a cheese build and it’s not hard to kill a shoutbow warrior. The problem is bunkers aren’t needed in this meta anymore, but hybrid builds that have good sustain and damage.
The player base is actually pretty large. You just have a lot of people who just say it is small to try to justify the poor matchmaking system in place.
The player base isn’t large at all… If you look in HotM you can always see the same people every single day. Not only that but look at the leaderboards. You can be a freaking nobody who loses every single game but get on the leaderboards because there’s barely more than a thousand people that play PvP. What’s even more funny is that there are more people in daily servers than are usually playing ranked at any given time. Seriously go look at the daily servers, there are like 6-7 of them that are all full of PvE players. Unless something has changed within the 2 months since I left I’m pretty sure PvP is still dead.
I agree daily servers are so active and it’s even hard to get in at times, even unranked is more popular than ranked, spvp is full of pvers who simply take advantage of the system. They get the same rewards as pvpers so why join ranked? For some llamas? Lol what a joke. There isn’t enough pvp progression with good rewards. Glorious armor pvers can farm that ok got my skin time to say good bye.
Already enough with outfits, yep pretty mounts for gems no thanks.
SHOUTBOW* is indeed an easy class to play in all game modes pve, spvp and wvw.
Main reasons for that:
-high base hp
-high base armor
-passive healing (signet)
-only 1 button for class mechanic
-insta cast shouts and stances make it impossible to interrupt the utilities
-5s weapon swap cooldownFixt for accuracy. Pick up a GS and get cheesed on by most other classes before you even get in melee range then tell me warrior is easy.
And having fun walking through 8 miles of AOE to even get to your target.
Which is the main reason all warriors are using longbow now. They’re joining the cheeseteam like all the other classes.
I agree with GS warrior that’s when players actually have to learn to dodge jump aoe crap when slowed. I actually learned to become a better player by playing gs.
Well since the test season is over there has been an increased of afkers and leavers which I’m not surprised, leaderboards are a joke anyways nobody even cares about them. If the game had a good mmr, good leaderboards, leagues, players would actually care more and not leave, this game doesn’t have competition.
These are their goals and I’m still waiting for them, can a dev respond to this? https://youtu.be/e9mARxB2aLM
They spend more time and resources on outfits then spvp sad but true, anet should learn from smite now that’s real pvp.
On weekends soloq is becoming a disaster. Many games where a guy decides to afk because the team is losing, not even top players do this. These guys are abviously not real pvpers but pvers who get frustrated too easily and give up. Real pvpers know how to get over the frustration and over come it. Also there are some games where you say where the kitten is everyone and guess what they are wondering doing their own thing.
You can try this GS/Hammer build by Tarcis, I like it more than the mettabattle one. http://intothemists.com/guides/5301-anas_tarcis_tpvp_warrior_meta_hammergreatsword
In a manner of speaking . . . yes. Eventually, all players will be able to get into the beta. Whether it’s open or closed by pre-purchase or not. That said, it always seemed silly to me to farm an item to beta test a game.
You want me to beta test your game? Invite me, and I will. I’m not farming to have the chance to beta test anything. That seemed incredibly arrogant to me. Since when is beta testing anything, to find bugs and flaws in any expansion, a reward?
But, as always, that’s just my humble opinion.
Exactly beta testing is meant for that purpose to help developers polish that stage of development. It seems like a lot of players don’t understand the main purpose of a beta test from what I can read on this forum and anet does wrong in hyping these group of desperate players. Why on earth would you grind hours and hours for a beta entry? Why can’t these players just wait for the final product, they are just going to be getting unfinished spoilers then what’s the point and they will probably complain on forums why the content they were expecting isn’t high quality and create a whole bunch of misleading information. Just leave that role to real beta testers.

thank you kindly. What would be the talents for Shoutbow?
Have people not even played other MMOs? This game is full trash loot, spvp is a good example of this, you have to open a box just to get another box inside and inside more bags to open just to get some greenies. They obviously do this on purpose so people can buy slots with gems and yet people here suggesting to buy more slots and bank slots lol. Anet obviously won’t fix the problem but keep filling your inventory.
You should do fine with a portion of weapons and builds as long as you have LB as your second weapon set with shoutbow being the meta right now. Shoutbow while being meta you’re not forced into it unless you’re in a very competitive tournament or in a team that wants competition otherwise you will do just fine with other builds as long as you play them right otherwise go shoutbow since it’s more forgiving specially in soloq. Try avoiding rifle since this weapon is in a mediocre state. A good starting build would be hambow, easily to understand. You can also try gs/lb if you want more challenge, take a look at the top warrior streamers like rom and tarcis they run gs/lb a lot specially rom. Axebow isn’t too bad just not as God mode as it used to. Metabattle website is a good place for beginners you can have a look there.

Because courtyard is not real arenas, is just a lazy design under a conquest point system with a fake arenas skin on top, this is coming from a retired wow player who enjoys 2v2 and 3v3 arenas.
I’m expecting another third test season “with minor tweaks” that don’t address any problems and keep uranked/ranked play in the kitten state it’s been in since Anet decided MMR-based leaderboards are good for every other esport but not a casual game like Guild Wars 2.
If they do another test season I won’t play spvp for a while and come back until the expansion, not going to be a beta tester for a third time no thanks.
I want to see a real season not another grind fest no wonder blu left.
I would advice you to take a look over the “Phantaram teaches Sodapoppin” video, due the large amount of info about the basic mechanics of every class (and due is basically a top tier GW2 player teaching GW2 PvP to a top tier WoW player):
That’s a great informative video should be a sticky for wow players.
Simple question. Why do YOU not run meta, if you do? Are you aware you are crippling your team? Do you think that you are NOT actually crippling your team?
Just a random question, after 3 matches with/against SD engi, Fresh Air eles, GS warrior, healing necros (this one actually surprised me so much I took me more than a few moments to understand it was not a normal necro) ecc.ecc.
Depends if you’re queueing as team or solo and what high level of competition. For example in soloq I prefer going medi gs guardian rather than medi hammer because gs is more straight forward when playing with pugs, hammer requires more coordination and for me it works better in a team environment.
New players should play with builds shown on that website, experienced players they can come up with their own builds, is what mettabattle does anyway copy builds from top streamers. Hammer medi guardian is a good example not many people even knew it existed until recently, only a small portion new the potential it had while mettabattle was behind with their bunker guardian only way. Experienced players create and execute new metas, while the casual players stick to what already currently works.
It actually feels like a real elite, in this game there are elites that feel “elite” polymorph, lich form, rampage, elites that can be game changing if used right, even battle standard would fit this category and they have long cooldowns. The problem is that they are not op, problem is the other elites need a buff.
I don’t think the warrior needs anymore weapons but rather a rework of some of the core mechanics and skills, I would be happy if they just give us a new set of utilities, and give the profession more depth gameplay, f2 would be a good start. I don’t mind a torch thou.
No thanks AI in this games sucks already.
There will be a break and an off season.
I hope next Season won’t be a test but a true League Season with different divisions and cool rewards.
Maybe that’s why they are taking a break from specializations because next week they might reveal us something? Not to mention next week is ready up.
Adding to this, I don’t see a single member of oRNG (the current world champions) in the top 100. What does that tell you?
(Blackjack is at 79, but he’s not in oRNG currently)
They prefer to stream, play with some builds and do theory crafting instead of caring for something that is broken
Most are missing the point.
WE WERE WINNING WHOLE MATCH by 60 plus points
I was staying home because 2 thieves on their team kept trying for it.
The guy fighting/losing near spawn, who was on MY team decided to rage, and talk trash.
After match he decides to whisper me saying how all 4 of other team mates were in ts talking kitten about me.I was unable to respond do to him blocking me before he /w trash talk.
This was all for no reason….
We won..he was on my team….I played the map.
Camping home is never a good idea. A better option for you would have been to take the role of a temporary watcher to spot crossers and see where the players are going next and telling your team where they are heading and make a decision from that, it’s much better than camping home. If you camp home you’re a creating a 4-5 somewhere else on the map. It’s obvious your team mate kept dying they were probably angry dealing with a 4v5. Also points don’t matter they don’t say nothing. Anyways the whole point is he did bad raging in chat and saying things he wasnt suppose to regardless of what the team did.

temple is the best map for me by far, those fights underground can be epic, reminds me of how good arenas would be in this game:(
The real mesmer moves more naturally and humanly, they are that type of class that punishes new players very badly specially those who are new into pvp. Like Exciton suggested best way is to practice with a mesmer friend.
No, they’re just not popular. 2v2 and 3v3 and even 5v5 are just not popular in the entire community as a whole. Arena’s aren’t popular, except by the really really really small brawler community. They’re nice to watch but terribly to play. If they’re added they need to be team ranked only. Add 2v2 and 3v3 as team queue in ranked and 5v5 as solo queue ranked. Add a more robust ingame leader board to thus to include titles, and armor and weapon skins and even unique legendaries (account bound) to hitting top ranks. Divide it by sections and that would be great. Not for me, but it’ll help with the stagnant and unpopular ranked.
I disagree mostly with everything but I do agree with you on one thing adding them as team rank only. Finding a team for 2v2 is easy even 3v3, adding a soloque wouldn’t make sense, plus this game needs a social aspect it’s an mmo, that way players can interact more with one another.
The only reason I could think of is leaderboards aren’t fully developed yet, the algorithm part is not even there yet, let alone the UI.
At least be happy this isn’t wow where they force you to buy the expansion lol.
When will the test season be over?
not to offend you, but as far i remembe they gave you a 5 v 5 and you all cried that you don’t want such things in pvp.
Now you dare talking about 3n3 or 2n2.
If you’re talking about courtyard those aren’t even arenas lol, that’s just a zerg mess in a small map with a lazy design under a conquest point system not to even mention the respawn totally not arenas. At least wow did some things right while being mostly a pve game they really made pvp a big thing during it’s golden era. Like I’ve said in the past conquest doesn’t need that many maps. 3 maps are more than enough. We ended up having too many conquest maps some which people hate, instead of focusing on something new.
That’s another reason why I play warrior, plenty of weapons to choose from already for the core profession. If DH is worth specializing in I will play it, if not I won’t even bother.
Warrior has the most messed up traits they are scattered everywhere anet needs to do some fixing on the warrior traits before they even move on to the next thing. Only being able to pick 3 traits yea sounds great for other classes but not for the warrior.
Do people not realize that warriors need these skills to have any chance in PvP? Take a look at any warrior build. Unless they are running ham/bow they will have a gap closer somewhere. U know y? Cause they need them to be able to hit things. Only class that is gonna be right in a warriors face is a gardians. Every other class the warrior has to go to them. A warrior has to be able to get into melee range to have a chance
That’s another reason why longbow is too kitten good in conquest and why its the base of all warrior builds, you name them, greatbow, hambow, shoutbow, ect.
Dual welding could work just make both greatswords auto attack like normal but could only use the skills of one at the time then weapon swap to the other one.
GS/LB but you gotta know how to play it thou. In the right hands this setup destroys people, you can start first with hambow since it’s easier to learn.
I would have said turret engie weeks ago but they got nerfed lol but anyways you can’t go wrong with the celestial classes. You can play berserker dps like medi guardian it’s okay but I prefer them more in a premade team, you will get much better results with a shoutbow warrior lol
Seriously enough with this leaderboard grind.
The current medi guardian meta is already squishy enough but at least it let’s you acomplish your goal as a dps and be able to survive enough. You don’t want to go squishier. I would suggest trying different builds or come up with something maybe you might bring a new meta to the table.
Rampage is not weak. It’s incredibly strong right now and it’s going to be even stronger with traits such as Body Blow and Distracting Strikes coupled with a set like Mace/Shield or even Hammer.
Most people say it’s weak becouse the skill of your average player is very low and they don’t really know how and when to use it, they just prefer the easier to use Signet instead.
Most warrior players have yet to realize this elite is much stronger than Signet of Rage when used properly. In fact, I think this elite is going to start being the standard elite instead os SoR once more and more players realize how strong it is (mostly for direct DMG and interrupt specs that is).
All the builds that may give you some troubles 1v1 (such as medi guards, thieves in general, and others) are no longer such a counter with this elite.
Most people blindly follow metabattle builds, which is a pity, really.
I agree, I’m finding rampage strong right now specially with the berserker builds haven’t tried the other options yet but so far good. I’m liking Frenzy with Rampage makes out for huge burst and lock downs if used the right way. I agree while metabattle is good to get sort of an idea but not to rely on it too much, it’s better to watch the top pvp streamers they always come up with new ideas and theorycraft a lot. I do think warrior is in a good spot right now when it comes to elites compared to other professions. All of the 3 elites are not bad, if you compared it to other profession elites.
1. Not enough rewards for top players, we need to know who’s skillful and who’s not.
2. Worse leaderboard I’ve seen in a pvp game.
3. No ingame leaderboard. Most players don’t even know a leaderboard exists which makes me sad.
4. Stupid gem store outfits, we need more pvp season armor and weapons.
5. having no 2v2 and 3v3 arenas the most popular pvp mode in mmo history.
6. Entering courtyard with a conquest build lol nice one anet.
7. The pvp finishers suck, you want better ones go to the gem store and buy.
