Guild Wars 2

for an “op” build its weaknesses are- terror,immobilize,blinds,cripple,chill,stability,blocks,dodge,evasive abilites, stun breakers,weakness all hard counter this build

if warrior misses a skull crack via evasive or dodge it goes on cd on a few seconds cd where u can easy burst warrior down

if warriors skull crack gets blocked it goes on cd

blind spamming theifs really stop warrior from doing anything at all

necro applications of cripple weakness and chill plus all the damage boons can destroy warrior before he can react

guard can counter warrior hard practically immune to stun with roation on blocks stability dodges

engineer similar to necro can just apply the condi then kite ftw or control builds can destroy warrior once stability is used

rangers can ether apply alot of bleeding trap warrior and kite until he dies or go that unkillable bunker build with so many evasive abilites and stun breaks

elementalists have access to alot of stability as well as that sheilds and good escapes and stun breaks

mesmers can be very tricky to hit with a stun because of phant and illusions body block stuns almost all the time and if u do stun a mesmer they can blink ,decoy,phase retreat and chaos armor provides blocks lots of conditions and confusion they have access to blinds,immobilize,cripple easy kitten a warrior

it is actually very easy to counter this build it has more weaknesses than most meta builds out there the fact is only glass cannon builds will lose alot of hp in a stun/100b the max ive seen on the warrior spvp is 11k over 4 seconds thats on a full glass so even if you get caught out in a stun most likely can survive

could u look at issue with single target skills not hitting the target that u have selected its dire to try and fight any profession with pets/clones/turrets as they often take the ability with a body block

Intended I believe, so tankier players can physically (though not under Australian lag easily) get in front of skills to save other players. There are some skills that ignore this as well (such as ele air 2 and 3 on sceptre)

yeah i wouldn’t mind that if a player that could body block skill but when it comes to pets blocking skills some players have 6 pets like spirit rangers and minion necros mesmers all have advantage having all those pets makes single target impossible make almost all your skills will be body blocked with the abundance of pets roaming about it just nerfs professions that build for single target no wonder warrior have been bottom of the food chain for so long

could u look at issue with single target skills not hitting the target that u have selected its dire to try and fight any profession with pets/clones/turrets as they often take the ability with a body block

almost every profession has access to blind,block,evades,stability,stun breaks so many options that counter stun warriors i can see counters to stun warriors from every profession even necro with the blind wells and slows signet of spite dead warrior, s/d and d/p theifs can be murder to land a blow we are easily kited by many professions.engineers have more cc knockbacks knockdowns etc than warriors have stuns

Helping you out. Btw I am a thief and engis(good ones) are even worse than guards to 1v1.

This is interesting could you give me the build that burst me down that quick in a second? Id just like to see what im up against.

Also Ive seen the video on there. For spvp running things like net turret are fine but in wvw you can easily find yourself outnumbered(sometimes by a lot). Just an example.

Thief damage is high. Too high.

engineer can build to kill in same amount of time as a theif with static discharge 3-4k toolbelt skillx3 then jump shot blunderbuss target dead i have hit 7k+ on both blunderbuss and jump shot and thats in spvp if were talking about wvwvw damage will be higher not to mention u can drop ppl to about 25% health from 1000 range

you should try my build its based around stunning and doing 100b for alot of damage with 50% crit on stuns. your very tanky as well and if in trouble can always escape with greatsword mobility. it might not be condi build but give it a try

I like how he walked into the marks, instead of dodge rolling through them rendering them 4 absolutely wasted CDs (I love doing that to Necros).

dodge rolling through them does nothing u still get hit with it, its even unblockable if traited

yeah totally same with stomping and revive when downed players are grouped together u can’t choose to stomp the enemy or revive it’s irriating same with some movement skills like greatsword #5 on warrior to use it to run away u need double tap escape and to charge an enemy half the time it falls down holes or runs against the wall or small hill with terrible pathing

players pets should not be able to body block your skills when u have the player targeted and auto targeting off the amount if time the pets get the stun or whatever skill you use really gives rangers, mesmers, necros the advantage over all melee professions especially when its a single target skill thats being used like skull crack or theif poisons etc

*Guardian staff 4 ability aoe 12 stack of might
*2-4 necros spectral wall
*drop reaper marks with well of corruption to remove boons ie stability
*now gw2 ping pong until team is kittened true story death by unavoidable multiple fear damage

just tried to make a build with signet of intelligence on theif to get 100% crit on backstab when weapon swap it didn’t work at all so i tested on dummys and even non stealth weapon swaps don’t crit at all i think the signet is broken all together

my build
