Cps dmg is lower than other dps specs, and Berserker is a dps spec without any support. All in all cps only has 1 pure support trait and that is phalanx strength, everything else gives dmg. You should not look at cps to see if the spec is balanced but at the pure dps variant. And the c dps warrior was by now means overpowered (dps slightly higher than most but not even the highest dps) and now, again, nobody is gonna play that because the difference in dmg to other dps classes is too high.

Also this is a PvE game. Why would you deny people their favourite classes in raids? The only thing this helps to accomplish is that more and more people get upset and leave this game.

nah i'd for once rather have a good power dps elite than even more support on a WARRIOR. Your proposal would be fitting for a GUARD, though the spear on land looks like a good idea.

But just think about the traits and skills, they are almost all for pvp and wvw only. Warrior just got that and this class surely doesn't need another pvp spec right now. What you wrote sounds like a good elite spec, just not for warrior.

and while you are at it... give warrior something unique, like completely change the greatsword trait in strength and flat out give gs all the extra dmg and cdr (gs right now sucks without the trait, just look at it's pathetic autoattack dmg) even if you do not take the trait. Then change the trait so something like "The Warrior is able to wield the Greatsword with one hand (mainhand only)" because the warrior is a beast with lots of physical strength. Then give the "new" gs new skills or keep the first 3 from before, but make it useable with the 20% attackspeedbuff from arms trailine and let it stack with the attackspeedbuff from berserker and quickness.

Just an idea obviously but that way you could make a power warrior build that would not be overpowered in pvp and may still be able to do dmg in raids, maybe.

The sad thing is that they buffed berserker for its dps a month before the release so we could forget that they just nerfed power berserker into oblivion and made the spec completely unviable for PvP and WvW. And now after everyone who does raids has bought the game condi war gets two huge nerfs. For what? People had too much fun playing warrior and dealing damage on a full blown dps elite?

It's also sad that there are people crying about warrior dealing too much dps in raids. It's a PVE game, GW2 is not a moba where class balance actually matters.

Let people play the classes in PvE that they like and berserker is a full dps spec which brings zero group support on its own and it does less damage than an elementalist support elite.

That arenanet had to nerf warrior several hours after the PoF launch patch is especially shady so most people didn't even read it and noone complains. Well in the warrior forums there is hardly anyone here so it wouldn't have changed much.

Warrior doesn't need more damage on daggers. Even if it's not very high, that's not what this elite is for.

But warrior does need something else and that is boonremoval on dagger autoattack chain. Right now Mesmers and Necro do a far better job at removing or even corrupting boons. For the warrior elite, which is mostly melee without any new means of gapclosing and not a high dmg output, it is sad that warrior is still outclassed in the very thing that defines this elite.
