gs 2 disables dodge

[Pelto.9364]

How do you use gs 2? As a casual warrior player, I switched to axe/axe because gs 2 is self-immobilize and disables dodge. Now I'm trying to learn proper warrior playstyle. Core warrior, sadly.

GS3 cancels GS2 and also has Evasion on it. You can also cancel GS2 by pressing any of the WASD keys.

For Spellbreakers, 100b is not worth it, unless you run STRENGTH trait line which unlikely, Even so your Burst spam F1-F2 is way better, even for downed cleaving.

 

Now for Core Warrior which runs STRENGTH trait line and with proper rune set, 100b is not bad especially when combined with Might Makes Right trait, But 100b as a Damage source is kinda meh, I mean even with a good setup (Bull's Charge > 100b) most of times Bull's Charge alone will net you more damage than 100b, Axe Auto Attacks damages more and its mobile.

 

100b was always a reward for a good setup (stun/immobilize), But when the setup itself doing more damage than 100b and when other skills that need no setup also out damaging 100b, then this High cost high reward thing is not working, 100b in need of a serious damage buff to make the investment to setup it worth the reward.

Mesmer sword 2 self-imobilizes but luckily evades all attacks. Maybe warrior gs 2 should reduce incoming damage too. There are very hard to kill spellbreakers in wvw, so, damage reduction in gs 2 would buff core warrior to that direction. If Anet wants hard-to-kill warriors.

100b is good for downed cleave and baiting attacks. In general, GS 1 and 2 needs buffs.

Its not really necessary given the amount of damage it put outs. Its a high risk, high reward attack; and actually functions more for Forceful Greatsword (and Phalanx Strength) in PvE situations. In PvP, its handled as a more calculated move that can down a target in a single combo, if you can land it. If you're not impressed with it, it you means you've never paired it with Frenzy (or just quickness in general). I think the only reason PvE players gripe about it so much is how long the rotation for Berserker is.
