FirePowerr.1820

Obligatory Reminder: That what Warrior NEEDS is reworks to it's weird target cap variations and reworks to underused utility skills, especially on Specializations. And maybe a true teleport considering that Willbender got 30. NOT Ancillary numbers tweaks in the one gamemode where they will never matter. ❤️ Also, I'm firmly in the camp that Wild Blow should still have the unique launch + knockback other players interaction, but maybe with the new unblockable and have it trigger King of Fires at the start of the cast, rather than the end so KoF can actually hit before they get launched away. ++ Also can we get an actual animation for triggering King of Fires aura detonation? It already exists on Ele for detonating a fire aura. Just port it over? Rush fix is ofc welcome if it works. TY

Agree with Everything OP says. They can tweak it from there. Also @Lan Deathrider.5910 "Degenerate Gameplay" like what we have now bud? aka. Spamming every Saber skill off CD just to stack Unshakable Mountain...? I honestly have no idea what you're on about. Bladeworn is completely unplayable rn, and a Counterplay nightmare for your opponent as it is. Not to mention traits that they put in with the Arms Rework like [Heightened Focus] still incorrectly reset Berserk Mode instead of Primal Burst Skills and don't work with DT at all. Even though all of the other "burst-skill-traits" do. --- This is legit the first piece of Actionable' Bladesworn rework advice I've seen since this post that I think ANet has any chance of doing. 100% Fine with this, especially considering it's looking more & more likely we're getting MH Pistols next xpac. I say Upvote it if you have a soul guys & gals. 😄

Post-Dec. 12th "fix" HtS will not trigger if skills like Combustive Shot or Scorched Earth are used faster than the 4&1/4cd that they have with Discipline slotted. This also occurs if you SE >> get out of combat >> Weapon Swap twice back into longbow >> Get into combat/give yourself adrenaline & use a 2nd SE as it comes off cd for some reason. << This is more consistently replicable, but harder to do. This is best illustrated if you go into WvW, equip Discipline, have a friend give you alacrity and attempt to use Scorched Earth back-to-back off of CD or reset SE using something like the skill reset-special action in tre Social Forces training area. *Notes: 1. Yes I know each tic' of these aoes is not supposed to proc the trait. I am talking about if the persisting skills are used in quicker succession than their apparent invisible icd? 2. Blood Reckoning reset seems to reset the invisible persisting skill icd properly. So because this interaction + SE is working properly it cannot be used to illustrate this bug. 3. This could possibly affect quickness generation by condi zerkers in raids. So I do think situation 1 is worth investigating / fixing. Pls fix, & hope this helps!

I like how the redundant mesmer scepter 20% attack speed trait as well as both "lightning reflexes but on mesmer / willbender" got some sort of functionality change to make them usable. Meanwhile you need to spec into [Warrior's Sprint] to get the same functionality on Bladesworn and This Dual Wielding Garbage is still in the game despite Arms getting the otherwise solid tweaks that it needs. Weird patch design goals ANet. Or once again, they just forgot Bladesworn exists I guess...

@SkyRight.2370 I know right.

Yup they did. Just going to copy this entire thread over here to save time: I would personally be 12,000% ok if the current tooltip is the compromise they end up going with. It'd be easy & make everyone happy. Let's hope this current tooltip portends things to come and isn't literally only there to cover up the old, broken call string because Mukluk called them out on it. P.S. All I have to add to that is if you need to have an audience of X thousands and to be on good terms with ANet to have them pay any attention to your feedback let's pray that Muk or Teapot take up Warrior soon. It needs some love BAD. Cause if someone like Preach were to take up Warrior you can bet that all that juicy free press that ANet's been getting would pretty much evaporate overnight imo.

Dear God do I want the current (bugged) tooltip to be real: https://imgur.com/a/RvujVmP

kitten, for a minute there the old tooltip gave me hope that they actually listened / cared. Reminds me of my favorite April Fool's joke at 14:21: Ahh good times. 😃

To answer simply: lol no

Also This.

@JTGuevara.9018 You're right & that's good! These new ones seem to know that Berserker exists and how unnecessary the changes/tradeoffs it had were. They, however, seem to just have just applied the same methodology to Bladesworn... That was kinda my point. There's no point & better compromises. From pulling Berserker back from the brink they should know this. Entire gameplay styles do not need to be deleted when better alternatives exist 2 trait spots up.

Alternatively, it could just give alacrity in a way that makes sense, yes. Putting 10s of alacrity on DD that clearly won't stay demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of, terrifying apathy towards, or both, Bladesworn in general. The Gunsaber projectiles already all go different distances & don't explode half the time. They don't multi-hit by default unlike the Kala ones and even when you do manage to land a Dragon Slash and have it NOT BUG OUT in PvP it does less damage than a sword 3 or an Arcing Slice!? ANet I started playing this class cause of Rama. He was genuinely funny & well written and I found my own way to be my own Bladesworn. I don't even have that now. So no, I cannot "PLAY MY OWN WAY" as your trailer suggests. I can't really play at all tbh cause this class doesn't f-ing work. I was ok with that tho cause DD was awesome. Please put it back or give us something else equally or even more fun...

I am SO tired of having pieced of my Warrior Specialization's PvP kit cannibalized so that it can "work" in quite an unintended way in PvE. Did you learn nothing from Berserker 4 years ago!?!? Almost all of those "duration" changes were hated and universally split or reverted since. ANet PLEASE give me back my cool high-fantasy multistrike Bladesworn and while your at it please restore the distance & 1/4s of an evade frame you took from [Dragonspike Mine] so that you could refresh your slash in PvE by rolling off the edge of a raid encounter. & While you're at it please give me a reason to actually push Gunsaber 2. Thanks.

I have no idea why, if you're determined to give each spec a "support boon" they don't make one Grandmaster in each class's core line [Give Boons On Class Mechanic Use] and just have those boons carry by which elite spec you have equipped. That way we can stop sacrificing cool Grandmaster traits or play styles like [Feed From Corruption], [Daring Dragon], [Transfusion], etc. on the alter of "inclusion," balance them instead, we can maintain some semblance of class identity, it's easier to balance, people have choice, and LITERALLY EVERYONE WINS. 😂
