Warrior hammer at least used to de good damage to reward the risk of such slow telegraphed abilities, but since CmC decided that CC shouldn't ever do damage we're left with an incredibly slow weapon that cant really capitalize on its own CCs. If they brought the PvE Fierce Blow into the competitive mods then the weapon would be slightly better.

Honestly, I'd like to see a return to non stacking Stability, where stab isn't removed per CC, then reduce the durations of all stab sources, like at launch. There was no reason to remove damage from CC while at the same time reducing damage across the board.

About 2,5 to 3k group healing per shout. And you play between 3-4 shouts (one from a trait).
The Healing warrior can do is a nice extra to every group but not even remotely close to a actual support class.
But if the question is 2k power for 3 more dmg or 2k healpower for 2k higher healing, the answer is obvious.
-
Another 10k gold infusion?

Sup Tempest is ok currently.

Warrior Dmg is so low, mintrel gear is meta in WvW.
Because, if you cant do dmg atleast increase the "meh" healing.
-
If the heal would actually good then MAYBE it could see play?
Its like a 1,3k heal every 3 seconds in WvW.
It could be 3 times as much and i would still not play it.
Or it could trigger every second with the same healing?
Nah would still not play it over echo.

Warrior hammer at least used to de good damage to reward the risk of such slow telegraphed abilities, but since CmC decided that CC shouldn't ever do damage we're left with an incredibly slow weapon that cant really capitalize on its own CCs. If they brought the PvE Fierce Blow into the competitive mods then the weapon would be slightly better.

IF CC never gets its damage back though I'd change hammer 4 to remove the knockback and have it just be an AoE dps skill with a short cast time that deals more damage, or recharge more quickly, versus crippled foes for synergy with hammer 3.

Honestly, I'd like to see a return to non stacking Stability, where stab isn't removed per CC, then reduce the durations of all stab sources, like at launch. There was no reason to remove damage from CC while at the same time reducing damage across the board.

The hammer trait should simply add dmg back to CCs.
Its in a GM slot and competes with 2 very strong GM traits.

Rev is balanced. What? You are trolling right?
Warrior needs a slight buff, then everything else needs to be nerfed to its level.
For me, B Tier is Balanced. Warrior is C Tier.
Rev is S Tier.
And if Spellbreaker is so good and Unbalanced, why does it see no play.
Why are warrior mains quiting the game over how useless/boring it has been since Feb with no hope in sight?
Warrior Dmg is no nonexisting, Minstrel is Meta in WvW. F ING MINSTREL!
I had literally a friend log in yesterday since feb to see if Warrior is good again.
He logged off 5min later.

Its very easy to tell whats unbalanced and whats balance.
If not, tier lists would not exit.
And Warrior is currently at the lowest spot.
Add that Warrior has no BS like ports, stealth, range, attacks with no tells etc.
If Warrior isnt Balanced then Engis are literal Gods.

If something gives +10 Healing Power then its exactly the same as +10 Healing.
Its just old runes vs updated/new runes.

What is the most balanced class currently in your opinion?
Answers like "none" dont count.

Healing Power = Healing.

You want a fun balanced gameplay?
Make a warrior only week.

Dps/heal meter is a maybe but a gear check is a no
Because i dont have enough medicine for all the migraine i would get from looking at my zergs gear.

Ok. Lets see.
+80 and - 77.
Looks perfectly balanced for me.
I believe whats wrong here is that you think you are a Plat player but the Matchmaker thinks you are Gold.
The reason you play alot of plats is simply low player numbers at the time you are playing and you (maybe) being like Gold 3.
What time and timezone are you playing at?
Also here is my experience with the matchmaker.

So you are saying that the system thinks you are gold level an tries to get you there. And thats wrong?
Also. Having the majority of the playerbase in gold (the middle) makes perfect sense.

I still dont understand the reason to change the shroud mechanic back.
It wasnt needed in Openworld, especially because necro already had the best openworld build in the game with reaper.
Sure, Scourge wasnt a top dog dps spec but the dps was ok while being an ultra hard carry for every raid/strike group.
It needed nerfs in WvW.
In PvP it maybe needed a Buff but thats the only place.
Sooooo.... why make this change when it was not needed in 3/4 gamemodes?

You can try to time it for when a driver wants to stop and bomb at their feet during a push or when ramming gates where no ones moving. Otherwise most combat is to mobile and you will hardly get any effect out of it. If it was a mobile field around the druid....might be a tad strong.

Staff:
1. Auto can now target allies. (Tf2 medi gun)
2. Is now a groundtarget.
3. Evade back
4. Is ok.
5. Field bigger and longer. Pulses Aoe Regen and heal in a the area when a projectile is absorbed.
Anet, thank you for the (dragon) banners!!!

I remember seing my First Dragonbanner.
It was shortly after HoT release. We had a zerg at the south inner gate of smc.
Our commander when he first saw the giant aoe:
"Ohh whats that?"
While 30 people of our zerg died and then we got pushed by the zerg inside smc.
Good times.
