I see BS as Soldier of our Time, but the gun saber is mix of greatsword and rifle. I like it, I didn't feel any problems with sustain and dmg. I not play BS as I play with Warrior, Berserker or Spellbreaker. I was not expecting any huge dmg from BS, but a different approach to how deal a high dmg and different tatics. And I already saw many OP combos to apply. I think people want warrior core 2.0 and spellbreaker 2.0 hehe.

Felt the same here.

PvP View: Until now, the class seem awesome. The flow really get the feel of being like a flowing through the battle. The DMG still a little low, because I was adapting myself with the new E-spec, mid-range dmg seem awesome. No problem with swap at all, I don't even remeber to use discipline. And for the other not all my build has discipline it isn't not a requiriment if you are playing a different build. And thanks Rifle seem to be good.

People seem to hate Berserker so much that is a Joke, I think its more because of the Torch weapon than for the lack of sustain. Spellbreaker can reach very high Tier if played properly, you need to be very clutch. One of the things that is fun about Warrior, that is very straight forward to play it, but to master requires a long way of training and knowledge about engage, disengage, cunning, deception.

Core Condi can even break a good SpB on a duel. I think people will show different approach for each class and gonna result in not reliable data.

Core the most flexible is right, Berserker I call it the 'monster' of the 3. But I don't play it for months, and I don't know why people put it on C-Tier, everytime I pick Berserker I win. Spellbreaker is a different approach its different way of playing.

They need to remove the bots.

This can be a option, but sometimes it doesn't. You can confirm it @Leonidrex.5649, just acknowledge the ones that you see every match and try to catch them on a High Place, they will keep running like those afks on a wall that we have on WvW for farming PiPs and those bot will never reach you because they doesn't know how to reach you. If it's a human, he will just try to reach you, if he can't, he will go away from you and try to do other things on the matchs, but the bot will be there the entire match, it's sad. You can even type /sit hehehe. This approach is like what we do with the Supervisor on a WvW camp after we kill everything and it has the buff of time, we jump on the supply box and the supervisor will try to hit you and it can't, but it will be the entire day trying to hitting you, even that has someone near him. You can distinguish a bad player from a bot. Sometimes even me do bad things on a game, there was one match that I was so bored, was my first match of the day and I forget the weapon swap, I passed all the match with just one weapon setup. Just at the end when was everything lost that I remember the other weapon. But is rare situation.

The problem isn't players behaving like a bot because of movements pattern. Bots has a very predictable way of think and move. If you have full of regen and protection build, you can pass the entire match face tanking one of the bots and it will never quit or run out of the battle against you. You can even bug the bot in someplaces.

For me is the same, if there is bot on NA, probably has bots on EU too. As I said the more you play, more you will find them. For a bot being on high ranking don't seems to be easily to deal with them. They probably run meta builds. But as you and I said, if you know their flaws you can easily deal with them.

@Leonidrex.5649 If you take a better look you gonna discover that you are totally wrong. There is people complaining that even on High ranking you can find bots. One of top ranks has a video with them. This kind of view is totally elitist. The problem with the bots is that they are very predictable and they ruin your game. You are called to a match and them 4 of your team are bots and if the enemy team don't discover it fast you gonna win. But if they discover you gonna loose. https://www.twitch.tv/im_grimjack/clip/BetterRamshackleHornetMoreCowbell-Zubyr_sJh4_78Aat The bots has good combo builds that can easily kill you on burst. But after you discover their flaws than you can easily win them. I had a game that I my self said to my opponent team about their bot, they all saw the bot trying to reach me when I was on a pillar and the bot couldn't reach me and it kept running for minutes...trying to reach me, it couldn't jump. The more you play, more you have a chance to found them. If you just play 3 matches a day you never gonna find them or never discover that one of them was a bot.

For me is very strange that they already didn't put spears for Warrior. Like Spear and Javelins were the most common weapon on any Warrior in our Real History. And Paragons seems to fit exactly this spot on the game. I know that we have this on water. But I want it on the game so I can have my Hoplite with a Spear + Shield and really enable the Phalanx trait of Tatics.

So this almost answer his doubts about Paragon.

Warrior are Master of War. So strategy,cunning and intelligence is on our side. Even people call this class dumb and very straight forward class. I call those who said that as newbies. The master are on another level. I like to play rifles sometimes and see people getting mad by die for a rifle core war or loose a match to core rifle war. I use the banner for just one purpose and is not for PvE. I never saw that called BannerSlave build, I think that my War don't have this build and won't ever has this one, every time that i try to write 'bannerslave' on the chat my GW2 crashs. So this build don't work on my war.

Paragon is on Guardian go take a look. I think there is even a achievment called Champion Paragon on one of the Guardians E-spec, I just don't remember which one.

Even that the CD are higher, I want to try other strategies. And that e-spec bring something totally different.

Finnally a good post. Thanks @oscuro.9720

For me this new spec its really new, for me is a Warrior on modern ages like some people said about the use of weapon by samurais. As the gun started to appear the sword start to become more rare and the rifles and guns grow up in number and them become the main weapon. But this is a fantasy and everything is allowed. If you don't see exactly, this spec is a Soldier of our time. Guns, bomb and other stuffs is kind of what engineers does, but it isn't the engineer purpose be on the front line of a battle.

@BlackTruth.6813 I take this exactly point that you. I don't like to much the Shield on PvP. Even that I know that is a requirement to play on PvP. But sometimes I try to change a little bit and get out of the shield to not become bored by the same strategy and rotation. People complain to much about the shield. But even with them we can still die and we still see people dying with the shield. I like the pressure of the pistol. I said on other topic that, the shout with ammo elite would increase the Tatics trait and enhance the capacity of the Bladesworn tatics.

People asking to me in PvP: "You need to play 'healbreaker' because is the meta!!!" People asking me to bring the banner or I won't be on their group: "You have to place the banner or you don't have a spot here, because its the meta" My answer to them: And them their discovered that I finished all the contents and them they ask to me: 'How you finish it without us?' And I answer: 'Some I soled, so other groups accepts me by that.' - Bladesworn Just tip here: play what you like and have fun with it.

@Lan Deathrider.5910 the Elite Skill of bladsword can heavily buff the Tatics traits with shouts and healing. This can be very dangerous. If the shouts use the same 'ammo' as rifles and the new e-spec than we can clean 16 conditions. If I'm not wrong, its can probably increase the support capacity of warrior. Since the Elite Skill has 30s of CD and recharge all your ammo skills.

Yeah I thought that too, but still out of synergy. Maybe a I could be wrong. Its kinda hard talk here without the e-spec on hands. But what you said we can take like 321 on arms. But yet still out of synergy because the arms traits gives to much condi damage.

That is for the people who asked for a support warrior:

Arms and Defense on my point of view is totally out of synergy with the bladestorm trait and skill. And I think that you all agree. Defense probably can be added,but Arms still like a useless trait like its for Spellbreaker profession. Arms is condi based trait that just works for Core War and Berserker Condi. If Bladesworn is another Power Based e-spec so Arms trait is dead for this new spec, as also sword weapon, or you will only use Sword for 'Savage Leap' and 'Final thrust', which in the end will be a low dmg, so the offhand Pistol is trying to balance the low dmg that a Sword has. The better weapon will be Axe, because mace.... I won't dare talk about mace(Counterblow is the best skill there 🤣).

The new spec is different. I still don't see how to work with it on other traits. Its totally different from Berserker and Spellbreaker which share similarities with Core. Seems to have better mobility and a lot of things. The main problem is that we lost the burst of other weapons but receive like 10 new skill on Gunsaber weapon.
