Lmao.

So no one will bring tactics just to do 50% dmg to barrier users. Except some gimmick warriors that would rly impact the way you play, because gimmicks usually dont work often as intended, sure they might SOMETIMES see insane numbers, but most of the time they are useless compared to other speccs.

Well warriors cunning is one of three slots in a trait line, so it is possible to roll it and Vigorous Shouts still so that wouldn't be much of a gimmick. Bringing 50% vs barrier will help sway a fight, and if there is no barrier you at least garuantee a heavy opening hit with the 25% vs 90% health portion of the trait.

Cunning directly competes with shrug it off, which, depending on its healing numbers might play a big roll in a support oriented build since you can remove a ton of condis as warrior for your group and even 5 more ppl with horn (i know only damaging condis)

Well choices are just that. I'd like one of each with me while roaming or zerging frankly.

Aside from this I will add 1 more the leg specialist, from the Spellbreaker standpoint which use hammer at least skill 3 could immobilize aside from the stun and daze from spellbreaker trait, helping immobilize people is good.

So, basically:

• if you are low life -> arc divider insta downs you
• if you are full life -> arc divider + 25% damage insta downs you
• if you are low life + barrier -> arc divider + 50% damage . . .

. . . looks like the best bet vs. arc divider is fighting in downed state then :#

[Lan Deathrider.5910]

Well, which rider takes precedence? The 25% or the 50% when at full health with barrier?

[DKRathalos.9625]

I think the 50% barrier since the damage will registered into barrier first.

Honestly I dont think any scrapper will care much - after the patch there will be NEAR ZERO roaming scrappers in WvW and I cant imagine sPvP being much better. Fighting any enemy combo with a warrior is pretty much an unwinnable scenario today, unless that warrior is a bumbling fool.

And zerging... well its not the scrapper that has to worry really. Its all the glassier dps getting "support" from their teammates. Lol it would be so fun to troll with a barrier scourge against groups of warriors.

As others say, its actually scourges that will far hurt more since unlike the already non-existent scrapper roamer, there are alot of necros running around specced for barrier when they "roam" (well they run alone or in small groups, whether its a roamer can be debated).

And as one of the few roaming on either scrapper or core engie (90% the later today) I can tell you... I wont cry over meeting less barrier scourges.
