I'm no stranger to PvP, I got mad/salty long time ago and quit (never got to play ranked), but coming back after years this still all newish to me. Best advice I got is: "don't try to make a build urself, follow the meta" I hate that idea but once you accept it, follow it, you will do good (with practice ofc) Playing some games now and some fights I feel completely noob (either my own awareness/skill issue, or team not being cohesive) Other games I feel like a unstoppable truck...but it doesn't feel good, feels cheesy sometimes. Fair fights are rare, but how do you gauge a FAIR fight? Is ranked any better? Or is it just how the game is and just need to accept it?

FOTM is in every game, great at promoting the cash shops...I don't see it being done in GW2 which is nice, but the FOTM is definitely happening. Most ppl will gravitate towards the OP to give them the edge. Nerfs just turn ppl away. I can say same thing and say willbender and thief everywhere...why don't we buff the other specs, that will indirectly nerf the FOTM specs.

This is also especially obvious in WvW large blob fights, you have to get in combat, hit signet of fury and then F2...and if it lags or server delay on skills...warrior is not doing anything for these CRUCIAL first couple of seconds. So I hope the devs are reading this, or the forum moderators and pass it along PLS! Obv this would have to be traded off in some way, while warrior does this already in all modes (wep swaps) tie degen to using a certain wep for too long. This will promote the general burst game play but will nerf golem dps because u can't stay in axe for example majority of the game. (and relic of warrior will actually be more viable) (just throwing some ideas out there, but think most agree that warrior, in this case adrenaline decay needs looked at for better class polish)

Thief, mainly from one particular experience. Riding next to a keep, theif comes out of stealth and has enough dmg to demount me (rifle; mind you even with 2x warclaw leaps was not enough to run away) then proceeds to kite me with no real way for me to close the gab and I'm dead in like 3 seconds. (I was wearing full marauders, mix of exotic and asc if that matters) And willbender, I think everyone knows what the reason is for hating this matchup...too many pro and not many cons to this spec. Don't get me wrong, spec is amazing, great QOL and it looks polished, but if you're going to do this to one class at least attempt to do the same for others. (when you buff a class you essentially nerf the others idk why anet doesn't see that) (Not to mention a recent post of mine in other WvW post regarding this spec has been deleted, guess pointing out obv willbender shills is not allowed)

Let's look at other classes with resource for skills: (btw I'm new to game so correct me if I'm wrong) Rev: out of combat limited to 50%, generates in combat Thief: initiative-passive replenish I'm sure you can find some other ones... Anyway, I agree with lot's of points made here. Warrior needs an update. Having to enter combat to be able to go zerk is like starting fight with a disadvantage already.

+1 yes pls

Here to pay my respects, and pour one out for all the bladesworn homies

As a newish/returning player, I'm trying to gauge what things I should focus more on or explore in WvW and what to avoid, but so far: +) Joining random pugs and getting in discord has been an easy experience, and the changes to easy exotics/warclaw made entry into WvW so much better. -) It feels like roaming entry point is still higher than PvP, mobility seems to win most of the time, sadly some classes are better than others in this aspect (guessing everyone has trade-offs)

Let me ask you a question, if this was so OP then why there aren't more engi roaming and most of the roamers are thief and wilbenders? All is see you posted, ppl had some criticism, and you just wanna stick to your point no matter what. Move on...

you're 15k HP...how did you expect that fight to go? You didn't even see him coming until too late. If you had diff gear/specs on you might have survived and turned it around, is that not true?

Can we start posting thief "1-shot" videos here now? 😄 -I get what your saying, and you're partially right to say this build is designed around a "1-2-3" combo but there are plenty of these examples everywhere. -Everyone wants a fair fight, but not every fight is fair. Think about it.

Ask a question with a question: Who: "98 or 99 percent of the community" "towards me and others" that's a generalization if I saw one; remember you're not everyone What: "toxic" "hostile" "childish" "behavior" examples would be nice, also remember there are thick and thin skinned people out there (also sarcasm) When: 2x "lately" this reminds me of companies when they say 'coming soon' Where: PVE? PVP? WvW? I'll assume PVE since the other 2 teach you better (still, PVE is split into many sections too) Why: You let your emotions take you to the forums, the six gods would be disappointed. Go into the world of GW2 and make friends, find happiness. .

Hopefully are ok with me playing warrior Looking for something similar to BDO's nodewar/siege atmosphere Have all the expansions, open to other content besides WvW Active discord is nice

Coming from BDO (Black Desert Online) here, and while can say that GW2 is miles better in many aspects, I'd love to find something resembling Node Wars and Siege. Node Wars=daily mass pvp fight over territory (like say Queensdale) by multiple guilds in at a set time, with some politics involved between guilds with 1 winner guild which gets rewards and holdings allowing it to participate in siege. Siege=once a week mass pvp fight over region event (like Ascalon) by guilds that have secured territory, ofc politics and 1 winner per region with pve buffs/other rewards. Is WvW pretty much it, or is there more depending which guild you join (GvG drama is always good for the story 😄) , or would this be even feasible to pull off in gw2? ...sorry still reading up on what gw2 is planning (was planning?) for WvW restructuring.

that's cool and all but I'm casual player, does my post look like I care about my #s being bigger than yours? Just wondering why the most recent updates are all nerfs But if you wanna talk about benchmarks that's against stationary target no? Lol trust me I'm not enjoying being stationary(locked in by some skills) in HoT maps (rifts are not bad) Idk what strike/raids are like, is it better for warrior there?
