Go Norn warrior...I may be a little biased though.
But in all honesty it doesn't hurt to try out all professions (as long as they're Norn), at the very least it gives you insight into other professions so you know what they're capable of and help determine what you like to play.

Just out of curiosity has anyone tried combining this with eternity? :p

Thoughtful design it deserves... That'll happen...
But yeah it was going to happen it was obvious.

> None of those will save a warrior from conditions if their adrenal skills don't connect. Worse, those skills are mostly one offs due to long cooldowns so that if your opponent survives the first encounter, you're definitely dead. Which is usually the case since most classes have life saving skills to defend against a gank.
>
> And battle standard is still useless, cause its cooldown is way too long to get much use out of it. And worse, you lose a few seconds at the start of a fight if you put down banners. A typical player isn't going to properly respond to a suprise attack and defend like they've trained to in the first 3 seconds of a fight, I don't feel like wasting those 3 seconds putting down banners and getting ready for a fight. And now you have to watch their timers to pick them up again so they don't expire... Like warriors don't have enough on their plate predicting every move their opponent will make, because their strongest trait is their disruption. Warriors are very good at messing up rotations and/or using them to their advantage, but you need to know that rotation and when to act on it.

Umm shake it off removes 3 in PvE and 6 in PvP/WvW. They've also got brawlers recovery to remove conditions on weapon swap that wasn't mentioned.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Brawler%27s_Recovery
They've also got warhorn that removes conditions.

Yeah I don't think these changes will affect the community opinion with banners being boring, and now it sounds like they're nerfed on top of that. And thanks Susy for the clarification.

That's probably how they will function, is it how they do now? I don't use banners much.

Exactly, I don't think it's a silly argument now it'll be look at this guy inside his little hamster ball he can't do anything to defend himself right now attack him.

Pretty much, if we're busy channeling it we won't be able to use other skills.

With the amount of stability being used there is very little potential for dispelling force, it almost might as well not exist.

The problem is that banners are soooooooo boring and dumb.

Another thing to think about with vengeance trait, I don't think I've ever used it or found a use for vengeance trait on my warrior. Honestly it's something that should just be rolled into the skill, because it actually handicaps us unlike other professions. If they kill something in their downed state they get up, if we kill something while in vengeance we might not unless traited.

Actually if they were doing this through a VM it's even easier.

I play with fire and barely tickle Warriors because of their passive sustain. You either deal damage, or be tanky, you shouldn't be capable of generating so much pressure while being near immortal. Still I'm not gonna change my opinion, Full Counter damage was too high for what it offered.

(soz i guess i deviated a bit from the topic), well yea i do not feel like a warrior when using a big weapon like a greatsword, simply because the greatsword hits for kitten...
> >
> > You're mistaking builds and identity. Builds are bended toward what's most efficient, the identity stay the same. If the build do not conform to the view you have of the identity of the spec, the responsible certainly isn't the spec but the build in itself and the "meta" that it pursue. The real issue that you got is more that banners are a very important part of the meta and thus warrior are taken for theses banner. Outside of banner play, the warrior and the berserker do reach an average level of damage which isn't enough to push him into a meta dps spot not because the damage are low but because there are "better options" in regard of dps.
> >
> > This fake assumption that something need to be "meta" to "exist" in the game is what kill the identity of the berserker and sometime even professions as a whole. The warrior's (and it's e-specs) identity are killed by the omniscience of their banners in PvE and the "fake" need to be _the best_ damage dealer to have a raid spot. In PvP, following your definition of a berserker, a berserker just can't exist because sacrificing defense for damage isn't something that fit PvP.

The bannerslave warrior is more of a raid build which doesn't take defense line. Are we happy with banners, oh God no. We do not like banners they're boring and dull and need a rework.

To name a few that would need a serious nerfs: Malicious Backstab, Vault, Phase Smash, Coalescence of Ruin are doing far too high damage, though hammer animations on Revenant need a rework, since they're barely visible in zerg fights. To be clear, it's not a full list of "to nerf", because there are even auto-attacks that deal too much damage aswell, but we're talking here about Full Counter, aren't we? Just because damage on other classes is broken, that doesn't mean a warriors have to be the same way.

Maybe they should start on the most broken ones like CoR which hurts a ton more than FC.

Other classes do it sooo much better, by punishing you for your boons and stealing them for themselves, we on the other hand just say, "yea it'd be nice if you'd stop using boons" and strip a few of them every now and again.

Yes but the defensive portion trait was heavily nerfed about 4 months prior to PoF, along with several other berserker sustain things. Boy this almost makes me want to say new e-specs are coming soon.
-
> @"Obtena.7952" said:
> I don't have a problem with the Berserker sustain and I believe that if Berserker got more sustain in its traitline, I would make the espec worse; we have more than enough sustain in the core lines without polluting Berserker and it would mean giving up some of the condi/DPS elements of the traits. I think the biggest mechanical problems are that there are too many effects linked to using berserker as a trigger. I also feel that the mechanic is too rigid; the only option you have to enter berserker mode is to get the full adrenaline bar. I also think there is a thematic problem; the 'on-berserker trigger' effects drop of quickly so for a significant duration of berserker mode, it feels underwhelming. I also think thematically the condi options are filler; Condi is a DoT themed DPS build, but berserker is a burst themed mode.
>
> I also disagree with the comment that we don't get anything when you use berserker mode. You get a significant boost to damage with Always Angry and Fatal Frenzy; this makes sense; the idea of getting a DPS boost for a duration by going berserker spending adrenaline is sensible. Getting more DPS or being more immune to CC/conditions are also trait options. One could argue that while those things are good and appropriate, they just aren't enough ... that's probably more the case than saying using berserker doesn't give anything. Also, having reactionary effects like CC/stun breaker on trigger ruins the feel of the theme; those effects cause people to sit on their adrenaline bars to get the most from the traits ... or those effects are of almost no consequence that they aren't taken.
>
> There are lots of ways to solve these issues; I believe that the best way to fix that would be to allow players to trigger berserker mode on any amount of adrenaline (still respecting ICD) and make the duration of the mode depend on how much adrenaline was spend.
>
>
The idea that it could last longer based on how much adrenaline you used would be nice, a thought I had at one point was that it operates a little like reaper shroud that when you use a burst it goes down until you fully drain it, and your regular weapon skills and rage skills fill it up (not the AA or other utility skills, that might be too OP). When you exit combat you exit berserk.

Necro Bug

Posted
I've noticed that my Necro gains life-force back when I get back on any mount if I have minions out, I seem to gain more life-force depending on how many minions I have out. I've tested it with multiple trait lines and both reaper and scourge and it seems to do it no matter what trait line I have equipped.
