In short the game almost unplayable now in WvW, everytime I meet zerg it's always skill lag so bad, VPN not helping and anet didn't do shit about this D:

I think we need like something to convert the excess luck into gold or maybe another item.

I think KP will just cause toxicity. Also IMO the difference between "Toxic" and "want to play with player on the same skill level" is quite thin.

Warrior got so many issues which they can't change I think.

There are a lot of weapon skill need to be tweaked/changed but they don't even do it.

Utility skill mostly filled with mini boon and mini condi (compared to other class which can apply so much condition or spam the boon), when it comes to PvP or WvW there is not enough damaging skill.

I'll just throw vote for Boon Support Diviner Renegade.

@"Lan Deathrider.5910"

See? Another 100B thread hahaha, I think we can expect another thread in 2 months but Anet won't do anything about this skill, so sad D:

It's uh... nothing like that for WvW. WvW build usually it will depend on your commander sometimes certain guild's playstyle could be different than the other guild.

I think you can still use metabattle for general purpose but once you joined a guild etc2 they usually have spesific build in mind which maybe different in talent/skill.

Farming 42 is the new trend now, if you look something to farm like the old 40.

I need material storage expander so badly but I guess anet won't give us discount D:

T1 Is nightmare, as soon as you see blob you immediately got skill lag and can't cast anything.

Recharging on weapon swap wasn't inherently a bad idea mind you, it just pushes warriors back towards Discipline rather than towards more build diversity.

I'll be glad if they make fast hand baseline but even without that, Discipline still a strong trait if we talk about dps.

Able to remove immob on movement speed, giving burst more damage and burst recharge faster, since warrior playstyle is around burst discipline is really valuable.

I agree with you, people rarely adapt to the situation they mostly sticking to the one build which they call meta. I mean I often saw alacren didn't take bubble for siren or taking demon for No Pain No Gain. Siren is not that bad if the Revenant and FB know what they are doing, when Rev on Kalla FB pop the reflect bubble f3, then when the F3 down, Rev should be already in centaur to bubble it, that relieves a lot of pressure.

When I play Alacren I always change my 2nd legend depend on situation aside from Kalla.

Yeah I regularly saw people playing rev didn't really know what is in their pocket. They don't even know how to bubble centaur in snowblind fractal or maybe switch to Demon when there is No Pain No Gain, or go dwarf for extra stab when fighting those last boss chaos since daze a lot.

> @"Lan Deathrider.5910" said:

> Well perhaps a constructive thread like this that gets reposted on the WvW and PvP forums will get some changes eh?

Well we hope so but... I dunno man, I've seen many threads about how the 100B on warrior should be reworked/tweaked etc2 since like long time ago yet they didn't do something until this day. And that's only 1 skill lol, we asked for multiple :/

Btw @"Lan Deathrider.5910" as usual another sad day. Skimmer going underwater is coming at the end of month, that is what community asking when it comes to PvE and they deliver it quite quick, but yeah for WvW and PvP it seems very small chance of ANet listening to the forum/playerbase.

So I guess anet doesn't have any intention to fix this for windows 7 user?

> Interesting.

I TOTALLY Forgot mentioning this, outrage is just.... weird. You have to break stun in order to fully benefit from it extend 5 secs of zerkmode, but just that? In case we play wvw breaking stun then nothing you still can be CCed for the next 5 seconds which negate the extend duration. I feel like zerker need some good related elite spec utility for wvw purpose.

Like let's talk about 6-0 skill healing utility and elite

Firebrand: the meta on wvw consist of 3 related elite spec mantra (1 healing, 1 condi clear, 1 elite stab)

Scourge: 3 Punishment (1 healing, 1 trail of anguish, 1 elite ghastly breach)

Scrapper: 3 Gyro (Barrier, Cleanse and Sneak)

Revenant: well revenant is a set so using herald automatically set the skill.

If we play Berserker? At best the related spec skill we use is the healing one to refresh burst and deal more burst damage in short time. The other utility slot and elite is filled with core related stuffs. (note that this is from zerging standpoint)

> I don't think Warhorn needs more buffing at this point. I'd rather Roaring Reveille have given different boons than what they gave.

What about the trait giving 2-3 stabs instead of Fury for Warhorn 4? I really want warrior can give stabs XD

So the warhorn 4 gives stab, warhorn 5 gives resistance when traited.

> @"Lan Deathrider.5910" said:

> I was waiting for someone else to bring this up ty. Here I think that They'd probably have to rework the entire animation to unroot it, which may or may not be too heavy of a lift. If they simply cannot remove the self root due to programming issues/lack of engineering resources then I think reducing the channel time to 2.5s would be sufficient. If you cant get that last hit in, you where better off auto attacking, so as is right not the skill is too high risk for too little reward. At least reducing the channel time gives more of a chance to get that last hit in to make the skill worth using. What do you think?

If the self root too complicated to be removed then yeah make it reduce channel time, it's crazy slow and people also complained they can revive people through hundred blades, it's supposed to be the super hard hitting move from GS.

> Hmmm... Its more of the last hit that is still slow right? Or do you mean all of it?

I mean the autoattack chain.

> What about the cascading field mentioned above? That would keep the current animation in place, just change the implementation of it.

Cascading field as in like CoR? hmmm I prefer kind of instant like hammer 3, so when we go to melee just aim the cone and we will be good. I mean with the current setting of wvw it's not like CC deals damage anyway so at least give it easy way to apply.

> @"Smoosh.2718" said:

> Other classes do self root as well, however they have defences attached to them, like distortion, evade or reflect.

> I would like to include the ele's fire 5 skill... however they can use a teleport to take them out of harms way while in mid cast.

OH yeah Smoosh you are correct, Mesmer Sword 2 is also self root but evade for the entire duration, good mention!

>Rifle, change to shotgun. a mid range AOE weapon designed to do higher damage the closer the target is. ( it makes no sense that we have two ranged weapons currently that almost do the same thing. Yes you can argue that the bow is condi and the rifle is power. However the rifle is too clunky and very boring to actually use.

Hmmmm not really using rifle too much so I kind of neutral here but I agree with rifle kind of boring.

>Warhorn 4, change this skill to provide superspeed.

>Warhorn 5, change this skill to also provide protection.

Warhorn 4 superspeed? it's nice but remove swiftness from it? since those 2 overlap maybe not good.

Warhorn 5, I'd rather it provide stability like 2-3 stacks than protection. Warrior could use something to give stability aoe, what do you think?

I just don't want any self root on warrior skill/burst I mean I don't think any other class has self root (so far I know, feel free to correct me) skill why warrior gotta have it? Banner changes are nice too.

Edit, I forgot to mention.

Greatsword

Hundred Blades : remove self root, reduce cast time or rework it.

Mace

Increase speed for autoattack

Tremor: I'd rather tremor have a cone AoE like hammer 3 but that's up to dev again.

Yeah I agree with you what they did is just lazy step, making all CC does super little damage is not a solution, not every CC is easy to land.

I think warrior's damage got butchered a lot when they did the "CC does 0 damage" patch, and they didn't even give something back. Might as well try to look at warrior again to rework/rebalance if they keeping the CC does 0 damage.

I sometimes misstiming the relink, I thought it supposed to be 24th if counting 8 weeks from 29th May. How to calculate? is it 8 weeks or 9 weeks?

I feel like if they want to change headbutt into like real Elite which has long CD they gotta revisit on how berserker mode works too. Since the idea is like low Cd so can be spammed with stunbreak from Outrage but... that is PvE story, PvP and WvW story nobody got slot for Outrage lol.

> Nah. Use savage instinct. Use HB to charge gauge, F1 stun breaks and gives 2s of invulnerable while you Arc Divider spam the Zerg.

But the thing with headbutt is... you know like as the other warrior movement, kind of clunky especially when your target move, and the range is not that far either, so sad. I just I dunno if they want to rework this headbutt they have to rework how the berserker function at the first place. I prefer like something giving big impact aoe rather than just single target suicide on WvW. On PvE maybe fine because you know... PvE enemy won't move that much.

I'd say that Warrior need a better Elites? I dunno somehow Warrior's Elite aside from Wind of Disenchantment doesn't feel like Elite.

**Elite Banner/Battle Standard** : Buff/Revival/Finish

PvE wise no one ever use this the buff is already covered by other class.

Not bad for finish in WvW but taken only by Berserker, Spellbreaker obviously use Wind of Disenchantment

**Signet of Rage** : gaining Rage and buff

Is there any good use of this? except for spellbreaker in fractal because they don't have other option.

**Rampage** : Transformation Elite

I heard it's good at PvP but yeah never saw it on WvW or PvE

**Headbutt** : Berserker Elite for stun

Weird... I mean yes of course nice for insta filled rage bar with low CD and followed with berserker activation mode.

I dunno if someone at PvP use this

WvW definitely a no no, zerg fighting and you wanna headbutt 1 people and selfstun yourself while removing stability from yourself? suicide

PvE just need it because how the berserker designed, to prolong the zerk mode or just CC breakbar.
