Exactly. The weapon does not have a spec or class-specific F ability like the elite specs the staff carries the entire healing on the warrior. it has to be strong.

So I played a bunch of Warrior staff and overall I think it is great! and almost feels like an elite spec thematically. below is a small list of changes i think should take priority, however. 1.) Please change the rush skill 3 animation to something else.. that rush animation is so clunky and slow. It feels terrible and misses almost 80% of the time. it's almost useless in PVP or WvW. 2.) I love the bullet catcher block spin before the second cast. however, if you are attacking while using it, it is canceled immediately. If this is fixed this skill is awesome. 3.) A little nudge on some extra damage for the AA chain, skill 2, and skill 3 would go a long way. Overall thoughts are that I love it and am maining Warrior for the first time since launch after this. Just pleeeeassse make a new animation to replace that god-awful, clunky rush once and for all! and then apply it to greatsword rush too!

Auto attack 1 and 2 animations are perfect in my opinion. I would like a new auto attack 3 animation but I am so happy about the first two finally being new! .

Sooo much this!! It is my favorite by far, the new auto animation and bullet catcher spin animation alone made it feel more like an elite spec to me than all the cantha specs. Hope they make more animations going forward.

I very much agree with this.. that rush animation needs to go. it feels so slow and clunky, if its possible a new fluid rush that goes the same distance but FEELS satisfying to use would be very much appreciated. It needs an animation that starts abruptly and ends abruptly without the weird startup time and awkward finishing time the current one has.

Its time to join forces and beg anet to buff the god kitten off hand sword.

you argued with me on my post, but we are fighting for the same thing. I agree, make the sword 4-5 do more damage and make sword 3 entirely unique if willbender wields both swords.

I want them to make the offhand sword usable. You know… the new weapon the elite spec came with???

Ok my mistake, it was focus not scepter. I got them mixed because my initial post is stating how scepter torch condi Willbender is far superior to power sword/ sword. but my point still stands, I am not duel wielding sword regardless so what is the difference if it was scepter or focus? It’s still lame and not sword. my source is snowcrows, the best guild for top rated builds on the game.. this build was their best power benchmark and it did not utilize sword / sword. https://youtu.be/-OiH1BLuJpo

No im really not.. I have raided with many top players who test these things, and swords suck in comparrison. We are both agreeing that power is kitten regardless and needs to be fixed, I dont care what people beleive individually.. collectivly we can all agree that power blows for Willbender for no reason when it should not.

yeah this is why in my post i was talking about for pve, its fine in pvp. My anger comes from the fact that all physical skills and sword offhand skills are weak for no reason in pve when many other older weapons and utilities remain far superior.

I dont know if you raid but no, sowrd is not used, scepter focus is. sword does an underwhelming amount of dps and it sucks, the same goes for all the new martial arts utility skills, you take sword of justice, and the signet like always because the they are not up to par. I dont get why you would make a class with a bunch of new skills that are al weaker than previous core skills... now im forced to play it condi.. Again.

So as the title suggests, the willbender was supposed to be the martial arts spec that used its swords, mobility and its martial arts prowess to swiftly eliminate its foes... however I find myself not using my swords and using boring scepter torch.. again... Why is it that you give this class a weapon and theme that it cannot follow? why are you holding back on improving the (PVE) coefficients on its physical skills and sword skills as you have for multiple other specs at this point? theres enough burn builds for guardian to hold players over for the next ten years.. Please allow us to play the power willbender as it was intended to be played, a fast assasin that deals damage with its SWORDS and MARTIAL SKILLS.

wouldnt mind them replacing this skill with something new for willbender..

Deathless Courage is actually really cool. It allows you to enter absolute chaos in WVW, dish out massive damage and disappear before you can get hit. I would prefer they keep this trait tbh.
