Red Haired Savage.5430

Then the wiki probably needs updated.

A couple of bugs I've noticed since trying out BS. Sometimes your dragon trigger activates then immediately deactivates putting the skill on CD. Another bug I've noticed the boost skill (skill 2) will sometimes leave me in place and I won't move and no I didn't have immobilize on me. Lastly with burst precision if the wiki is to be believed "Every damage packet from burst skills will be a guaranteed critical hit, not just the first." my dragon triggers should always crit yet if I have weakness which happens tons in EoD I'll quite often get glancing blows.

And it wasn't even a nerf it was just them making boons 5 man like they said they were going to. We were originally forgotten that's how far out of Anet's mind we are. We're just a forgotten footnote.

It took so long for any benchmark videos to come out because they were all still busy charging their dragon trigger.

Yup I'm guessing it'll be like RR on renegade.

It triggers the guns and glory trait and has 3 explosions which if they proc should almost max out the duration.

I see banners going possibly 3 ways. KIT If it's a kit then that kit will be ALL you do, if they go this route I'd like to see them utilize adrenaline where using the banner skills uses adrenaline. It has a base that you can use without adrenaline but if you use your adrenaline to power your banner skill it's more powerful per bar of adrenaline used. FLIP OVER SKILL I'm not sure how I feel about throwing the banner down and it just gets a flip over skill. Would be the simplest and in my opinion would be a cop out. BUNDLE With EoD they've done something with bundles that I kinda like that I think they could do. My thoughts are you can take the banner and throw it down and it'll do one thing (similar to how it acts now), but then you can pick it up and it becomes a bundle you're holding onto that you cannot drop until it hits it's CD then you have to cast it again to get it back, or if you pick up a different banner. The EoD thing I'd like to do is that you access the bundle you've picked up through your special action key, and you can stow it and go back to attacking. I'm just not sure how that'd work with other special action key things they've added. I think if they did them this way they could also be environmental bundles that others could pick up but I'm not sure that'd be the best idea.

Sounds like a hard counter to anything warrior. Course though most things feel as if they are an uphill fight for warrior anymore.

But that makes it so Anet can say every profession has a teleport.

There's not enough TP and aegis for the amount of them I've ran into at one time. And a couple of open world events I'd be below 1000 health from some of the mobs hitting me before I got my burst even charged. Meanwhile any of my other open world builds would still be at full health and killing them faster.

I'm sure I could have done it to, just wouldn't have gotten off too many dragon triggers. Not to do spoilers but I'm talking one with a bunch of jade bots doing a bunch of knock back. My spellbreaker had 0 problem with them got all my bursts and full counters off, I feel if I'd had been running BS I probably wouldn't have gotten any bursts off.

One thing I found that seemed to work for me was making sure that your skiff isn't touching anything (sides or bottom).

Yes but a tiny CC/corruption and you've wasted all your time and effort getting the flow required and the charging.

I know, it had warriors dominating PvP tournaments, soloing raid CMs, downing entire WvW zergs. It was just atrocious the amount of warriors you'd see rocking that OH dagger was just ridiculous.

Tried playing it again and my thoughts are still basically the same. Overall it feels extremely clunky, did the story trying it and quickly went back to my normal build and I'm glad I did because there were some fights I never would have been able to get off a dragon trigger burst before getting CC'ed and so the fights would have lasted forever not having any burst potential.

Nothing? No new elite spec runes? That sounds like a piece of hot garbage.

Because there's probably a lot more that they'd need to do than we realize. Plus we have berserker which is performing very well in all aspects of the game including PvP, Anet even told us so.

That's because Anet said berserker has been in a good place in PvP.

I musta missed it sorry.

You're forgetting resolution that we struggle to get. Don't let Anet forget it or we wont get it. Although I kinda wonder if that's why we didn't get much access to it because we'll get decent access to it with banner rework? I was also kinda thinking it might be interesting if the banners somehow interact with adrenaline? Like now we hit harder from spending stacks of adrenaline so maybe the boons do more for not spending adrenaline, sort of a flip on the current spend the adrenaline as fast as you get it? Damage spends adrenaline and support stores it? Just some thoughts that could be interesting. Although that would make Core the best boon support for warrior over other elite specs, which I'm fine with.

Yes it'll be 5 target, sounds like they're making all support skills to be 5 targets.

That'll be nice, I'm guessing it'll be 1 of 3 different possibilities? Banners spam boons when placed and we'll have to keep hitting the activate button to keep boons going, directly interacting with the banner will pick it up early. We'll get the older style we throw a banner down and then have to pick it up to spam the boons with unique skills while holding each banner. We equip a banner on our back (only 1 banner at a time) and it pulses boons through it's duration. I kinda wonder what will happen with the elite banner will it still be a finishing/resurrecting skill too? Will banner of tactics be moved to our healing slot and have unique/extra ally healing abilities? Be kinda neat to have a shout warrior healing and using tactics banner to also heal allies and then switch banners to another banner to provide other boons. Sad thing is rangers already had this a little bit with some of their spirits.

I see it as do I want to try to land my burst and keep myself alive, or do I think I can press the offensive and attack with it. I think that makes us make decisions which I think would be healthy for the game.

All burst traits or just defensive burst traits? I could see just defensive burst traits triggering on use.

Well jokesworn is very cinematic, it's attacks are so slow they give you time to line up the perfect screen shot.
