Guild Wars 2

quercus.9261:

I watched the video and attempted to recreate it forensically. I think it is a dire 0 10 15 30 15 build.. Fast hands healing shouts no CI traited war horn. It actually kicks butt

I think you are close enough but he as cleansing ire. At first I though 0-5-20-30-15 but his shouts gave him adrenaline and is bow auto attack didn’t seem to add bleed. I think he run the same build as I use but not same weapons/armor. My guess is 0-0-20-30-20 dire with soldier runes. He is also pretty good at self might stacking. He maintain over 15 most of the time and he spike it to 25 pretty easily. He might have something I overlooked that help might stack like 25 in discipline for versatile power or the might on block in str.

To the OP I really liked your video I’m not a fan of the music but you have some pretty good fight in it.

I’m pretty sure that NSP is keeping their guilds.

It look like NSP will be open for free transfer.

Well Maguuma isn’t one of the potential free transfer servers.

Conditions goes through endure pain.

Grats to you guys = ) <3

I would love ANET to fix hammer F1 issue on slope. EotM as a lot of slope and hammer is kinda awkward to use on the map.

TBH I don’t think this game need golems mastery.

I really like how you use your mobility.

It’s funny he try to hide is utility skill but we see 4 signets in the buff bar with a banner…

It as been said before… There is a reason why warr as lots of HP and AC. We lack buff or exotic mechanics.

CC warrior are the hard counter to necro as much as Mesmer are the hard counter to warriors.

It just boring when your counter is one of the class with the highest number BUT on the bright side you see less hammer warrior lately.

It’s a MMO things change monthly. Just don’t get discouraged.

tattoohead.3217:

It’s to early to cry, with all the changes coming who knows what the new balance will be. With nerfs to crit damage all melee took a hit. Conditions are already strong in PvP and for good reason, this upcoming balance patch will see an even stronger condition meta. Overall healing effectiveness of HS is honestly being improved, or should be lol, with the passive taking a small (8%) hit and the active getting buffed (% TBA) now you have burst healing for OH KITTEN moments.

There have been a few times on my warrior when HS just wasn’t enough and I knew I was going to die/lose long before I did… If I had some comeback healing then battles would be a lot more fun, I’m willing to take an 8% hit for that.

I wonder if the balance patch will be a buff to condi meta. I might be wrong but they are nerfing the stats gained from stacking different type of runes. I remember in my condi warrior days I was able to get a lot of duration from 2 runes of different type. I have the feeling that this rune/sigil change might hit the condi meta harder than we expect.

They are nerfing crits burst by 10%, poison duration(thief/engi) and immobilise on engi turret/warr pin down :.( . I have the feeling that signet will be just fine.

That make too much sense. I also expect some guard stack type of thisin WvW at some point in the future.

I think they nerfed crit damage to give themselves some room to play with.

Pin Down was buffed about a bit over a year ago. I played a S/Shield-Bow condi warr back then and it quickly became one of my favorite ability. Kinda suck that bow is getting nerfed and even more since they are adding even more telegraphed move to a class that really don’t need more.

LelouchViBritannia.3607:

I still don’t understand how the class with the most armor and health can have a passive heal that heals for over 400 every single second, while the class with the least health and armor can at best (fully traited with everything) get 260 health WHEN USING AN ABILITY which of course isn’t every single second.

Warriors have no clones, no stealth, no protection boons, no blind, highly telegraphed moves etc…

Warriors are really a basic class with some really basic functions. It’s really great to have class like that. To me the strength of the warriors at this moment is the ability to have multiple builds that work and healing signet seem to be the turning point.

I sincerely wishes that all class could have multiple effective builds rather than nerfing one of the class that actually offer diversity. Most class look for the new meta build after every patch but that should not work like this. Sure some warrior build get popular and everybody wanted to try rifle/GS but most warrior I know came back to play how they loved to play.

I like what the anet employee wrote. IMO think Healing signet should be splitted in 2. One healing skill with pure regen and no burst heal at all and another one with some regen but depend on something else that offer a greater risk/reward but that would fit better with the warrior class. (Ex: turn adrenaline to health or life leech)

I run at around 2850 and wen thing goes rough in WVW I use toughness stacking sigils.

50023 kills (90% of them in BL since my guild do rarely EB).
/age: 2150 hours.
/Deaths: 2785.
rank 705 silver assaulter.
NSP since my character creation.
no alt only a warrior
100% world completion.
Fractal rank 3 and except AC i know no dungeons…(Had to do it for Bolt)

I’m always in WvW… I finished world completion since I got my precursor but except that I’m hardly do any PvE.

I use zerk trinket and weapons, knight armor minus zerk BP.

I use different stacking sigil to tweak my build. AP, Prec most of the time and the toughness one when things get more rough.

Posted in bug section a few days ago. Same issue with sword leap and tested the rampage dash.

All options have been deactivated. I hardly never lag.

My maximum final thrust damage I ever had was almost 13k. My usual number is usually between 3 to 8k.

The skill is hard to connect, good player can dodge it but it a nice reward when it work.

I’d like to see Henge of Denravi moved up to Silver League for season two, taking the place of Isle of Janthir. It would make sense, swapping the 1st-place Bronze server for the 9th-place Silver server. @Arenanet make it happen, they’re ready for a higher form of war.

I highly doubt they have an idea what was silver league for a middle to low server like us. I remember all the QQ they had with GoM on forums to make NSP move out of bronze =)

TBH I’m simply happy to have WP in our BL and not having to walk down everywhere all the time. It was a great week, lots of great fight, duel, tight match, drama and even made buddies on other server which is rare. It’s fun to fight old rival server. Most engaging week for me in a while. I really hope something like this happen again next week.

I have all auto target option set to off and since last patch my warrior’s sword leap/rampage dash seem to take 2 sec to untarget from my target in WvW. It will tend to try to jump back on my old target even if I have nothing targeted.

I have good internet and I have no lag.

I’m seeing more healing surge user in WvW of late, in the end people need adrenaline and a well placed healing surge give as much HP as signet plus full adrenaline. The great thing about warrior is that we have acces to many builds. I think all class should be able to do the same and not just simply play the flavor of the month build.

I guess so. They had a few relatively easy months and everybody is pumped up. Then they will meet a server like DB and BP and realize that PPT doesn’t matter really. You either fall down when your guilds leave or become thick hard like NSP and survive whatever happen.

I’m pretty sure there will be a rank refund or a consumable after account bound Wexp.

What happen to CD have you lost some guilds or something? It’s not the same server that crushed us/IoJ together and beated Emry Bay in the league?

I’m just curious TBH.

Banzie.5248:

Can HoD take on the coveted CD like they said they’d be on par with?! Doubtful. Let see how fast their fair weathers burn

Our fairweathers started burning out last week lol… hopefully this week gets rid of the rest of the weeds

Ours lasted first few days of the seasons. =)

The new female charr head are terrific. I almost had a sex change.

Yeah I used to play condi warrior before the change they made to sword and usually if pin down connected the thief was pretty much dead.

GJ on the female face. They look more like Rox. Male are kinda meh.

The thread they made was a place for us to go through our 5 stage of grief.

If you go through it you clearly see the DABDA.

Natar.3671:

lol DB u guys rly wanted our t3 garri. bringing in 80 man zerg lol….. random matchup ftw

Does DB run under 50 mans anyway? I think I have seen that 3 guilds 50-60 mans zerg in our BL split for the first time yesterday night.

Enemy see green number when you pop this. Once again warr get easy telegraphed/easy to counter stuff.

If its true, that skill is completely useless

in any sort of roaming or small scale fights, but in zergs it is a different story.

I guess so. In the livestream PvP preview they show the skills in action. The Anet guy is dueling another warrior and he speak about how the enemy see green number. As soon as he pop the healing the other warr stop attacking.

The other warrior(seem really skilled) easily dodge all the telegraphed hammer ability… It was kinda sad to see.

Enemy see green number when you pop this. Once again warr get easy telegraphed/easy to counter stuff.

Lower I have seen deldrimor is 3.9. Investing in mats is a bit late TBH.

There was a rumors that these would drop from the same source as the dust. That is why those champs bags drop that many. I personally been stocking those champ bags since ascended were leaked in case it was true.

If that is not true I will have tons of item to salvage Having 10 stacks of dust or 3 stacks of bags is a lot more convenient anyway.

Neeho.3859:

Is it just me, or is Silver League the only one to have close matches? FA trailing SBI by about 1k at the moment…

Bronze had closer match than us I think.

Right now in bronze #1/2 is fighting #9 and they didn’t really got crushed.

Rozbuska.5263:

This will make Warrior far superior in zerg fights. With all that damage, survability and utility whar it already have is no point start queueing with another class into Borderlands.. Now we know why they will make WXP account bound.

Warriors Vs Warriors Vs Warrios

Look at the WvW loading screen what do you see… I tried to find any other class in there. It’s always been part of the plan.

I think it’s the warbanner concept art…

You forget about Rampage!!!!!! =P

I use shouts but I use balance stance.

To me balance Stance is a must… Dolyak is great once treated with traits(60 sec to 48) but for me that 8 sec is pretty important. Also you don’t get the bonus when it’s on cooldown and my balanced stance is always down.

Sorry.

I trying to answer Scoobaniec since he was wondering how the guy that he quoted was able to hit for 7k dam on hammer.

98% is pretty doable I have seen people with more than that. But you have to sacrifice too much for my taste. I personally like to be able to take damage a little.

I guess he use burst mastery and the added crit damage from discipline.

I got sefl buffed 4.2K ap and 70% crit damage/60% crit chance and my F1 hammer skill hit between 3K to 5.5k ish damage.(Maybe 6k on up level.) I don’t use UF.

I don’t use discipline trait so add the 10% from Burst Mastery and 30% more crit damage from the traits point and you should get close to 7k.

The issue with hammer is that everything stack and the worst is UF bonus applying before the hammer hit.

Put the new legendary as skin for old legendary at black lion for gems = profits.

what a neat site, Moments from BUNS history go!

Hello old friend

Take a look at long-bow for instance. All but 1 of its weapon skills outside of the auto-attack are all 1/4-second long cast-times. That really just encourages spamming. If each weapon set had at least one long cast-time skill, the combat in this game would be a little more lively instead of so spammy.

It would have to be applied to all classes though, from a balance perspective. One of the major downsides of war right now compared to other classes is its already telegraphed moves. There’s too many subtle animations/instant casts for other classes right now which is why war SHOULD hit harder and have more survivability than other classes. Not only do we not have great defensive boon access, access to stealth or other skill-based defensive mechanisms besides straight utility CDs like Stab and EP, but almost all our weapon abilities can be countered through a wide variety of options.

If we can manage to land a blow as a warrior, it SHOULD hit hard for punishing the opponent for not adequately countering it.

Passive regen of war was the only possible issue right now. It was NEVER hammer damage. Hammer damage was never an issue back when wars had 0 sustainability and couldn’t continuously stay in the fight and earthshaker repeatedly without outside support.

I play a charr warrior and I tried with a low lvl asuran a few weeks ago. My attack did hit the target a lot more because my move were harder to read. I think warrior might have been the first class they finished. They had more time to polish the animation which look neat but are too easy to read. You recognize a experienced player over a new one because they know how to read the warrior’s attacks.

I really wish the fix the slope issue with earthshakker. I conditioned myself about not using hammer F1 if I’m not on an even terrain.

The big issue was that hammer burst always crited with UF then your next 1-2 attack would also crits because the target was stunned. They should have simply fix what made the burst skill get the bonus of UF before the damage or reduce the crits chance from 50% to 20% to be equal to a adept traits and it would have pretty much fixed everything.

Its pretty average TBH. It used to be really great. I almost decided to make the horn as my sec legendary. then they fixed it.

bobomb.5209:

It is a good point, but i find the idea of an iron clad warrior and guardian team shouting at each other hilarious lol.

I loled to that.

I don’t understand why they have to take something simple and make it complicated. Would it be that hard to take that UF and make it 20-25% crits. It would be closer to what a adept trait is and people could still use it in their builds…

The idea behind that trait is really great. If it’s too powerful just reduce it to a proper level.
