Guild Wars 2

The buff really had some defensive to our defensive weapon. Lately I was seeing way too many GS/Hammer warr this open up sword/mace and axe. (Axe wasn’t very far behind meta.)

2.5k and if you break stun with shake it off with shout heal you get a pretty decent HP recovery.

Nike warrior were nerfed when the changed how swiftness affected movement skill. Right now if a warrior want that mobility back he as pretty much to spec for it.

Cygnus.6903:

The best part of these vids is that he always gets so low that I’m sure he won’t survive, then one shots somebody with whirlwind or evis.

That and he run as glass as you can be. A good GS/Evis warrior is always dangerous even at low HP.

I don’t think I could run his food/rune combination in my tier since most people run condi cancer.

Great video.

I main warrior and so far I’m not planning on using the berserk. It’s a bit early and they could probably turn it around in the next few weeks.

I’m on NSP since launch. One of the mosts stable if not the most stable server outside of T1 since launch. I pretty much play with the same people for almost 3 years now. We all know each other very well. We have drama sometime but the server usually get over it. NSP as a bit of everything.(Guilds, commanders, solo roamers and everything in between.)

The only thing we really don’t have is a sea/ocx crew but on the good side it keep us balanced since we really have a good euro/us pop.

They self only and long cooldown.

I was wondering if equipping torch was necessary to use berserk mode?

Yeah T4 is really balanced and very fun right now on most wvw aspect. If you guys wanna get into T4 just be sure to spread evenly. I know for sure that NSP as very little if none OCX/Sea.

If you spike someone he can’t be hard rezzed or make a 30 seconds hard rezzing window.

Would force some high risk/reward gameplay. People would have to be much more aggressive on both side.

My post from 9 days ago :P

Self quote.

My bet is the warrior use torch to lit himself on fire. He could deal AoE fire damage and/or act as a fire combo field. He could also transform’s weapons into some fire variation or summon some special version like ele. He could summon Fire based great hammer, greataxe and even barefist. (To be different from other summon weapons.)

I think our health pool advantage was somewhat nerfed when they added guard stacks. Let say 2500 HP on a warr is really worth that number. Those HP are worth way more on a mesmer, thief or guard. It’s like giving 5-6k more on a warrior.

A Thief/Guard/Ele with a base health pool of 12.5k HP get to 15k and mesmer get close to 20k.

I don’t understand why they didn’t went with it. Maybe 2/3 conditions cleaned every 15 second was too much but it would also countered cleansing ire and open build diversity. It would have worked well with peak performance and added a layer of strategy.

Wasn’t peak performance stamina based also back then? I might be wrong on that one.

I wasn’t complaining and I didn’t wanted to sound harsh. English isn’t my main language.

It’s not your fault if peeps don’t run food.

You play very well for the short amount of time you could invest on the class and the class isn’t done yet so it kinda even out:)

Cool video, I really like the songs. I’m impressed by how you are already pretty used to that class but I noticed something. Lots of your 1v1 kill if not almost all of them didn’t used foods. I know it’s their own fault but think it’s like comparing apple with oranges. Even more so when dealing with condition build.

Or it could be a giant loot bag!!!

It was unfair IMO and a PITA to get. 2500 HP isn’t worth the same on all classes.

You are spot on. They don’t care about us that much. How long since they stated they would rework something as simple as WvW achievements?

My bet is the warrior use torch to lit himself on fire. He could deal AoE fire damage and/or act as a fire combo field. He could also transform’s weapons into some fire variation or summon some special version like ele. He could summon Fire based great hammer, greataxe and even barefist. (To be different from other summon weapons.)

I really like the image. The artist did an amazing job here.

So the Berserker image as been leaked. Bare hand warrior with arrows in it chest and red light emitting from is chest.

They nerfed rampage to give it back as our specialisation? … :P

Skeletor.9360:

The real solution is to balance the WvW servers so that each side has roughly the same number of players. They make you sit in queue for PvP…Why? Why not just pop 2 in vs 5? Its OK for WvW so why not pvp? Just yesterday I waited 15 minutes to play 15 minutes in pvp. If there was a queue system for WvW that would have probably been 7 minutes for the entire night.

Why are they so scared of a queue? You want a system that encourages balance? Make people on overpopulated servers wait in the queue…they will quickly transfer to a lower population server. I GUARANTEE it!

That happened not so long ago when they reduced the WvW pop cap to reduce lag. Many guilds moved to other servers and I do think that helped the balance. Check the T3/T4 match up form end 2014 begining 2015 and stuff started to balance out after march(I think the wvw cap was added in march)

Check my server History NSP. It a good gauge since we always were a mid tier server and our pop never really fluctuated much.

We get 3-8 mans queue on either Home server or EB on NA primetime. I’m not used to queu and would be frustrated If I had to wait more than 2 minutes.

Usually with thief do something 2-2.5 sec after they vanish. With my warrior I love to backward whirlwind GS slash. Once traited that skill’s tempo fit really well with thief getting out of invi. You can also dodge, block, hit in the air but to me that 2 to 2.5 sec rule work pretty well. On my warr I can see if I hit them with my adrenaline OR the check the small line under your weapon skill. If they are in range the small red line will change. Use the sound they make this help a lot.

I’m getting used to fight mesmer now. I don’t think I can beat a very good mesmer yet but I’m getting better. With the buff they had a flood of bad players and they kinda acted like a vaccine. A weak version of the virus that get you ready for the real deal. Sound is also super important again them since they will burst you from invi. If you ear a shattering glass sound dodge, block, invul run away. Most mesmer will start with a burst in the 2-4 first sec of the fight. Then expect a burst every 8 to 10 second. DO NOT waste your dodge/invul and manage your survivability. The longer the fight last you will feel you are getting the upper hand. This might not work VS skilled Mesmer but most of the new one are not that good after the first 30 second of the fight.

I’m an average dueller I might be wrong. :P

So the issue is that the warrior can PvE too well in a SPvP map? =P

Rampage is a bit strong BUT the warr class is a bit weak ATM. Without it I think we would be lower tier.

I was using rampage for a while now. I liked it cause it gave my zerk warr some zerg pushing ability. Before patch the warr class was a bit stronger and rampage was weaker and most ran signet of rage. I do think that a good player with signet of rage would still win again a average player that use rampage since it’s so easy to counter. Most people does it right now. As of right now the first 6 to 9 sec are the most dangerous when facing a rampage warrior.

There are many downside to rampage. Your condi clearing is very bad and if you can’t land your big hit you are actually doing worst than not using it. Thief hide away when you use it, ele pop everything and move away, good warriors/melee rangers will manage their skill and make you feel stupid using it, mesmers just does what they do to anyone or Moa you. Necro, some engi build and pewpew ranger are the only class that I would consider as an easy win.

I think it’s because you have more build options. (Food, consumable, sigils and runes.)

I personally don’t like duel in Spvp cause it feels like a kitten version of myself. I know that I have pay for the consumable etc in WvW… I understand that everybody weaker in spvp but it doesn’t feel the same. Might be placebo.

It’s funny to me how fast they removed the grenade trait or the guardian AoE cap bug from the game BUT allow this to happen. I guess it because it was the week end and I really hope they fix it soon.

I personally like rampage as my oh kitten button or when I want to push with a zerg and I’m not in zerg/guild set up. They once gave us enough sustain and people complained because it was too passive.

Anet needs to find a way to implements some sustain that would fit the warrior class. Something like in Bloodborne or in some fighting games. After you take damage you get a small window to get back some of your HP.

I also think that shield is fine right now. A bit of CD reduction or range on shield bash could be great but I’m happy with it as it is.

The combination of both shield trait was the buff it needed.

IMO golems taking 0 sup to build is probably the least game breaking issue right now. :P

I really wish they would turn it off or reduce the golem power. This is not fun. They could make the cost half and 25% more damage/movement speed and it will be still worth it.

If you simply spam 111 on rampage you are wasting lots of potential and wont do much in the end.

sephiroth.4217:

Activate friendly fire.

This would be nut. ahahah.

Guilds kill them self on might stacking.

Most class as way to counter this. Warriors that use it are generally easy to spot. Necro might have less options.

Mending as physical would give us a third good and different healing option. It would make sense also.

Mersmer are the hard counter to warrior. I used to get my best chance again mesmer while using riffle or a pretty tanky bow/sword warhorn shout heal build pre patch. Now I don’t think that build could still hold is own anymore. I still win a 1v1 from time to time using basic axe/GS build but you will need a tons of luck. ( When the planets 9 align )

I got some success using riffle/GS in WvW. The goal is to kite him away and fight him on your own term, keep pressure on him, wait for the perfect time to burst and if you fail run/repeat. Expect to get some hate tells. Still… a good mesmer would prolly beat you.

It`s also great when you really wants to spike a necro and your out of stability.

I have the same bug. Thanks for posting it.

Rampage is not that hard to counter. People are currently getting the hang how to fight it. I have been using that skill for over a year and when I used to see a good player I knew it was worthless using it on him because they knew how to counter it.

It’s an elite skill and should be dangerous but it share many strength/weakness with the warrior class. The move set is heavily telegraphed and there are things that are currently meta that will destroy any warriors while using that skill.

Rampage is pretty straight forward and there is nothing exotic about it.

The warrior that are hitting really hard with it are the full DPS one.(As they should) When you face a PTV rampage it get a lot less dangerous. They are tougher but lack the burst and are easier to survive.

It’s the same situation as longbow ranger but the rangers longbow skills was a bigger PITA imo. We complained how it was unbalanced, we then learned how to fight it and now no one really care.

I agree it’s not as good since patch.

Rush does feel a bit less precise to me when used offensively. It’s not as bad as before the patch when they fixed it but doesn’t feel as great. I might be wrong.

I got hit by about 22k dam from an engi grenade blast yesterday.

The blast of that thing did up to 22k damage. My warrior could barely survive the blast and other class simply insta downed.

I think your right.

Axe auto attack is scary at that speed. It also affect your eviscerate…

It’s not affected by movement speed.

As soon as target is under 50% hp.

Heightened focus is really really good. I’m a huge fan of it. I was scared I would get destroyed by condi. I had a few tight duel and while they were bombing hard and I always had the feeling I could make a comeback I never had the urge to run away.

I’m rank 2700++ and I really wish they simply remove them. It unbalance too much WvW and a flat 2500 HP isn’t worth the same on all class. My example is probably not correct but 2500 HP on a thief or a mesmer is like giving 5000 more HP to a warrior. I also really hate running around and feeling kitten if I don’t have them. To me they should simply remove it.

They announced a while ago that they will remove guard stacks in WvW. Anyone know if they are removing them tomorrow?
