It was one of the tradeoffs of berserker which they removed with the patch on tuesday.
Its now like it used to be.
Too bad. Regression into a worse state is always bad, so ok then. I shall then simply play better classes then, no problem.

So, few weeks ago I returned to the game and noticed that F1 became berserker mode and normal burst skills were removed for berserker.
I really loved it and it was really fun when both berserker and burst was binded to one button.
Today I logged in and it seems this awesome change was reversed.
My question: why?-

@Handin.4032 said:This looks quite fun, but not necessarily meshing well with the engineer. But at least it's unique! I can imagine though, just looking at it quickly, with a firebrand this would become quite OP in WvW. How? Simple: Get in a party with a firebrand (who provides a lot of stab). Then take traits 3/6/8 and build as tanky (e.g. Plaguedoctor or Apothecary or Shaman). Also get something like purity of purpose. Slot Elixir Gun (fumigate), Minion 2 and 4 and the elite. You'd be able to basically walk into a raid, heal and provide cleanses to some degree, and just constantly pump out AoE fear. There are likely other combinations which would be even more obnoxious.
Well, AOE fear does have cooldown, but i see what you mean. This could work and would offer quite an unique combinations for various scenarios.

In every MMORPG there must be the worst class. Every game have it. In some games those classes changes with every path. It is just happens to be so that in GW2 every path necromancer is the worst class. If you don't like it, then play a different class.

@MatyrGustav.6210 said:TechnomancerIf it was Engineer + Necromancer, id prefer Engi getting a Mech like suit instead of the toolbelt to be similar to Necro shroud.
Wouldn't that be too similar to Holo?

@Anchoku.8142 said:While I like many of the skills and traits finding a place for a specialization like this that does not overlap too much with other professions' specializations is a problem.
Are you sure?
Major Trait 1Whenever you grant regeneration you also grant 2 stacks of might for 10 seconds.
This elite would pump out as much healing as any other support class, especially when combined with Blood Magic traits.

Quick description of the elite: Well, necromancer fantasy-wise is something which walks between life and death and manipulates both of these aspects. Reapers should be representation of death, Scourge should be representation of thin line between life and death, so this elite would represent life. It would be played as pure support and maximize its healing on others rather than itself, so, unlike others supports who are themselves nearly immortal, this Elite wouldn't bee too great at healing itself, but it would be wonderful at healing others.

@Anchoku.8142 said:What are your thoughts on LF generation by enemy deaths at 1200 range?
Well, necro do have staff and staff's range is 1200. So, it should be okay.
@Anchoku.8142 said:Regarding the Mesmer and Thief or Engi-like skills, do you think there is a space for Necro to have them?
Engineer? You mean Reanimator who melds technology and necromancy?Thief? You mean Grave Robber who collects and use necromantic artifacts of the old?Mesmer? Sounds something like a Ghost Lord who use life force of his fallen foes to temporally bring them back to life as illusions of their former lives.So, yeah, absolutely.
-
@Anchoku.8142 said:Tanking in PvE is best with stability access so boss control effects do not cause the tank to lose boss position control.
That's true. This elite would need a dedicated support to be viable as an actual tank and thus might not be that good, but i guess it is preferable alternative to necromancer having no tanking options at all. Also, keep in mind that this Elite with right build in PVE could maintain constant protection and additionally take even less damage while in shroud.
@Anchoku.8142 said:For low-damage builds, significant group support will be needed aside from the tanking role; e.g., healing, boons, condition management, resurrecting, etc. No small-time support will make up for a low dps.
Lots of CC? Necro already have several ways to deal AOE damage and do all things you mentioned on enemies in specific areas (wells, etc). This Elite could quite effectively pull enemies into wells and similar AOE spells. Getting pulled every 5 seconds if you are not careful can be very effective for group support, especially in PVP when you need to pull enemies from points.
@Anchoku.8142 said:In PvP, a more unkillable and ineffectual version of core Necro would not be highly regarded so maybe think about how the concept can be a winner versus some builds and loser vs others.
Well, it could hold a point for quite a long time. And it would be quite effect against builds who focus on bruising/bunking, because they usually don't do high damage.Sooo, while not technically stronger than some builds, this Elite could rush a point in a group fight and keep it while also pulling all enemies to itself for other party members to deal damage. So, technically, while not actually strong by itself, it could help out entire group quite a lot.

Quick description of the elite: Something which would require maybe the most tactical gameplay compared to all other class. This elite could have very great battle mobility and surprise effective burst damage, especially when combined with help of other players. While it does not have sustain of Reaper or Scourge, it still have ways to deal with damage, especially ranged damage. This Elite would use basic Shroud, though, its use of Shroud most likely would differ quite a bit to Core necromancer's use of Shroud.This elite would play around lots of combos with its own combo fields and combo fields of allies, and it can maneuver through out battle field a little bit like Thief.While slower than other Rifle users, this Elites have good damage and it have the most important thing necromancer lacks - mobility.

Quick description of the elite: Essentially a massive hulking tank focused on grouping up all enemies and surviving for extended periods of time. While it does not have lots of damage, massive sustain or damage avoidance like some other tanks, but it does have tools to mitigate damage and offer excellent tools of managing enemies' movement.Unlike Reaper who focus on massive melee/AOE damage and constant chilling of foes, this Elite focus on weakening nearby enemies and strengthening itself.Similarly like Scourge, this elite can inflict some torment on nearby enemies, just not as good as the Scourge.This Elite does not have bonus health bar like Core or Reaper and can not pump barrier like Shade, but it can prevent damage via CC, weakness and protection.Technically this Elite would be even less mobile that Core Necromancer and it might be not entirely favorable for some players, especially how necromancer is already the least mobile class in the game, but while this Elite have very little mobility it still can deny mobility of other classes regarding pvp.I think this elite offers an option for tanking with alternative way of dealing with enemies and damage in both pvp and pve.

When i made this it was possible to be taken apart into two elites: one for necromancer and one for guardian. Getting a new class is unlikely, but it would be interesting.

@rng.1024 said:Do I have to remind you choosing both Berserker and Spellbreaker caps your adrenaline for bursts at 10?
@rng.1024 said:Let's even give you f.ex headbutt, take it out of the equation since it gives you the 30 adrenaline you are on about. Still berserker come out on top in everything but radius .
You didn't even managed to provide a single reason why.... not a single one.... Combustive shot can be used more with same amount of adrenaline, adds more burning stacks and have wider fire field.
@rng.1024 said:If you can't be bothered to actually read what's being said,
Says the guy who claims that taking berserker elite reduce maximum adrenaline to 10.......Hypocrisy it is thy name RNG.
-
@rng.1024 said:Alright. You said:"Combustive shot:
3 shots (as in 1 shot cost 10 adrenaline, so 30 adrenaline means you can use it 3 times)
6 stacks of burn for 5 secLast for 9 sec (fire field)Wide radius (360)"
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combustive_ShotLet's look at it's tier 1 properties:
- It's 2 shots (may I remind you the berserk skill has 3)
How in the hell can besserker use it 3 times with only 30 adrenaline? :D :D :D :D
@rng.1024 said:
- since you've been disproven on every point so far I'll let you have that it's smaller, however the berserker skill can still hit 20 more targets
You haven't even disproved me once and you claimed that berserker can use burst his burst 3 times with 30 adrenaline.......
@rng.1024 said:Since I already showcased how the berserker burst is better in every way except radius, and it can be used once more in the timeframe even though I am extremely generous leaves no room for your opinion. Let's just forget everything else berserker enhances by the by, on this skill alone berserker still wins.
Yeah, by comparing beserker magically using his burst 3 time with only having 30 adrenaline in total against 1 single burst of spellbreaker. Yes, in that, you proved you immeasurable intellect. However, in reality berserker can use his burst one with 30 adrenaline, while spellbreaker can use it 3 times. And 3 spellbreaker bursts are way more powerful that 1 berserker burst. I am sorry that reality doesn't work like your fantasy.

@Opopanax.1803 said:I think the other thing being missed is that SB lacks flaming fury, mh sword berz f1 which stacks a ton of burning.It also lacks torch.It is also missing 33% burn duration.
It also means that you are required to take arms for condi dmg and tactics for the longbow trait. Which means you lose out on discipline.
I could see this for pve, but for PvP it just seems tough. Getting players to stand in fire fields is already hard enough...
Did you read the original post?The same build, but different elites.Both uses bow.Despite beserker having condition traits and condition supporting utilities, it still under-performs when compared to spellbreaker with the same build and same weapon (bow).Berserker with sword might be better than spellbreaker with sword, but that's not the point of this thread.
-
@rng.1024 said:I stopped reading after you treated Spellbreaker burst as a tier 3 burst.
Where? Can't you read? Quote me stating that spellbreaker burst is tier 3 burst. I dare you.
@rng.1024 said:And on top of that you don't realise that when out of Berserk you have access to the exact same t1 burst as Spellbreaker does.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D when was the last time you played berserker?
@rng.1024 said:It's okay to want to be right, but wanting alone doesn't necessarily make it so.
Yeah, you should follow your own advice.
-
@rng.1024 said:
@Regon Phoenix.8215 said:@rng.1024 said:Dude you are comparing one burst skill against another in order to decide viability of a condition build. So what if it does less burn, it has lower cd and higher coefficient, your heal and elite fully recovers adrenaline and mixed with mace primal bursts knocks anything a condition spellbreaker can do out of the park. Berserk mode also passively increases your condition damage by ~20%. It's definitely a build/rotation problem.Good job. You almost got the thing i was talking about right. On paper berserker should offer a better condition build in PVP. All the trats, all utilities, etc. It SHOULD be the case, right? However, in reality it isn't the case. It is counter-intuitive, but nevertheless spellbreaker is still better for condition bow build. It doesn't make sense until you try it and find out that spellbreaker perform way better than berserker. It was bizarre to me as well at first, but that's how it is.Since both elite specs count as a level 1 burst, the Primal Burst is better in every way:- More burn
- Last longer
- Hits harder
- Lower cooldown
Spellbreaker has only 1 way to recharge the f1 which is Full Counter, Berserker has both it's heal and it's elite.For sustain I fully agree Spellbreaker or core wins the day, but not including mace/sword burst and rate plus range of condition application as a factor in your argument just showcases the bias of your opinion - which is just that as it has no basis in facts.For those interested in checking for themselves, here's the skills (both act as a lvl 1 burst):What? :D :D :D that's not even close to be real.
Lets compare them equally in the same frame of 30 adrenaline
Scorched earth:1 shot3 stacks of burn for 4 secLast for 4 sec (fire field)Narrow radius (140)
Combustive shot:3 shots6 stacks of burn for 5 secLast for 9 sec (fire field)Wide radius (360)
With the same adrenaline spellbreaker can dish out way more damage, maintain fire field way longer and hit way more enemies. Primal burst is demonstrably worse in every single way imaginable.The only advantage berserker have over spellbreaker is in environment when you aren't being attacked and can spam bursts at long rage (but that only applies to pve), but even then beserker mode have 15 sec cooldown, which is far longer than cooldown of spellbreaker's burst cooldown of 8 sec.
"which is just that as it has no basis in facts" a clear case of projection, because you tried to compare scorched earth (30 adrenaline cost) and combustive shot (10 adrenaline cost) and then concluded that the one who cost 3 times more adrenaline is "better". Your argument is not only not based on facts, but it is also not based on reality of this or any other world.

Yeah, why chrono? Mirage have this problem of infinite invulnerability, not chrono. This change should be made for mirage, not chrono.

@Impact.2780 said:Scourge is the only class that can offer support as a damage/team fight role. This doesn't count scrapper which has next to no damage, or holo because it's not really a team fighter, but more of a skirmisher, and healing turret alone does not a support make.
Not even remotely true.Tempest, druid, firebrand and chronomancer can also deal damage while also supporting the team. Of course, they deal less damage, but they offer better support. Also, scourge offer sub-par support while druid, tempest and firebrand offer much better support and thus are more valuable than sub-par support who deal mediocre damage.And since when scrapper have no damage? It deal more damage (at least single target) than scourge.
@Impact.2780 said:Now, in a damage meta, with focus on kills and snowballs more than ever, combining that secondary support into a team fighter with damage and corrupts is too strong to pass up. More than that, with this combo, they are always together. Firebrand + scourge is the versatile element to any comp, allowing it to team fight as well as stall the enemy if you can't win the team fights, allowing your other 3 players to out rotate.
You just claimed, that current meta is all about damage, and by taking firebrand-scourge, you will only have 3.5 damage dealers (because scourge can't deal damage like actual damage deals if it takes support traits). Why take someone who isn't top damage dealer or top support, but mediocre at both? Also, you claimed that necro defines meta, how is being mediocre at something meta defining?
@Impact.2780 said:It's an interesting development and it's new. Players have tried to make damage/support hybrids out of guardian/DH before. The closest we had was D/D cele ele with might stacking before the nerfs, and it did eventually replace bunker guard (i.e. taking 2 cele eles). It's effective, hence why it can be said to define the meta in the sense that you need a scourge to be able to team fight against a meta comp.
And they (except ele) never defined meta with. And now, as you yourself claimed, meta is all about massive burst, so being sub-part in everything isn't part of meta.
@Impact.2780 said:Reaper is also a reason for the abundance of necros. People like direct damage, and reaper has a lot of it. Necro doesn't have blocks or a load of dodges because it's got a second health pool to absorb damage with. It's not just access to shroud skills, it is a defensive mechanic, too. But viewing it thus, requires thought, and reaper atm is the new 2013 GS War. Everyone who just wants to make big damage rolls reaper and thinks that by taking the class, they are instantly valuable because of its damage "potential," even when they can't actually kite or survive well. There are only a handful of players who actually know how to play reaper well at the moment, and that's across both EU and NA. Those who don't play it often get annoyed when they have the reaper on their team, because 95% of them are glorified suicide bombers. They charge, they faceroll, they die and rally anyone who was downed because you can pretty much guarantee they tagged the reaper.
And how is that meta defining it it fails at everything?
@Impact.2780 said:Necro does have fair mobility.
At this point i can't take anything you say seriously. Necro have the worst mobility in the game.
Berserker mode question
in Warrior
Posted
Played for years before -> F2 always have been Berserk mode, it was clunky and there was no reason to use simple burst skills over primal burst skills.
Returned few weeks ago -> F1 is Berserk mode, warrior feels much better to play, can even compete with most other classes.
Few busy weeks -> Berserk mode is returned to F2 = regression into making berserker clunky again.
A single good change to it was reversed, thus it is a regression.
