Baldrick.8967 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 You can usually see it coming. Unlike the many stupidly OP skills on thiefs (including a marked that stays on you forever until 5k+ range...) and other classes. Huge penalties for running rifle as the rest of the skills hit like wet noodles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handin.4032 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Wait...isn't killshot the warrior skill that forces the warrior to 'squat' really still and obviously, gets cancelled by them moving a bit, only fires a single shot, and gets dodged so much that I haven't even seen anyone use it in ages?

I agree with you with one shots should've ever exist. There shouldn't be any exceptions to it either; telegraphed or not. When there are exceptions made to the rule; it defies everything you do. It's like telling someone to not lie yet you are telling them a half-lie. A half-truth is a whole lie.

You can tank up, but that it doesn't increase your chances to win that encounter. It just makes it longer. In the end you don't deal enough damage yourself to kill that opponent, while you still die. I experimented a lot with core necro and reaper over the last days with going full condi tank - which is the only real option for being "tanky" on a necro. In most cases I died in the end, because - I wasn't able to reset fights at will like my opponents were and lost the game due to attrition vs. power classes - the other class had more access to boons than I had to corrupts - it has more condi cleanse than I have condi application or a sum of the above. It's way more realistic for winning not to tank up, but go full power on the necro specs than trying to tank something. And yes, that's terrible game design when it's all about who deals more damage because it not decided by skill but "who has more access to invul, protection or anything to avoid those 10k+ hits." edit: And people, please stop arguing with "dodge this" or "dodge that". Dodges are limited for a reason. It's a mechanic meant to be used for skills that cannot be avoided otherwise. It's not meant to be used against autohits that one shot you. If you dodge a autohit you are already dead because you wasted your most valuable option to avoid the big unblockable damage incoming. That's not how the game works. Yes, you should dodge a kill shot, but you can't dodge the kill shot, the bulls charge and the following knockback from rifle (example). And that's the reason why the balancing is so terrible. There is way too much damage in that game and way to less options to avoid it after Anet handed out unblockables and damage modifiers like candy.

Problem solved. Kill shot is one of the most telegraphed attacks in the game with a very obvious visual tell, a very long cast time and a hefty requirement which leaves the warrior without any adrenaline (and the rifle occupies one weapon slot). Sorry but this is absolutely a learn to play issue if there ever is one. You can sum up a ton of skills which would be on the "should dodge" list. My only question in this case is, what are you actually doing while you are letting someone else just pummel you and free cast all their skills?

My only question in this case is, what are you actually doing while you are letting someone else just pummel you and free cast all their skills? It is a problem. It's an ability that is able to kill a full toughness build in a single action. And in case you missed it. GW2 isn't a duel arena where all options are available 100% of the time and there is the issue with "culling" of skills existent. It doesn't help at all that in theory you can see "the warrior kneeling down" if he doesn't because the animation is bugged or the server decides to hide that information from you. This gets even worse when stealth classes are involved. Just cut the damage, delete damage modifiers and balance out the game between glass cannon builds, tank builds, condi builds and healing builds. At the moment there is two things that work. Massive power creep from glass cannons that aren't because they have access to invulnerables, stealth, etc. and one tank build with great damage aka boon ranger.

RedShark.9548 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 comparing rifle warrior with rifle deadeye.... this is a thing ??? i mean they are both rifles i get it, but warriors rifle is just sooooo clunky and outdated it gets outclassed by deadeye in so many ways. i wouldnt even consider it a "oneshot" since you rarely get higher than 7k dmg a skill where you cant move for that long, thats not unblockable and can be dodged or blinded etc. should hit for ALOT. sometimes i get the feeling that ppl want warrior to not do any dmg at all, so that they can have a pet that follows them around, not doing anything but to tickle.
