What are you looking forward to or think looks cool about Bladesworn?

[oscuro.9720]

With all the posts about what people are terrified of, about what people hate about the spec, etc. I figured it would be cool to have a thread where people shared what they are excited about after the preview.

So tell me; what are you excited about? What is getting you hyped?

[Lan Deathrider.5910]

Having a teammate stealth me so I can instagib ppl.

That and people are starting to realize some shenanigans with the barrier on final ammo use trait, which will end up creating a rather interesting support spec after all. We'll have to see what the scaling is like though.

[Broxxgar.6801]

Finnally a good post. Thanks @oscuro.9720

[Apolo.5942]

Nothing, it sucks and complaints are justified.

[Broxxgar.6801]

Even that the CD are higher, I want to try other strategies. And that e-spec bring something totally different.

[crewthief.8649]

I’m just looking forward to getting my hands on it and testing it out. I’m really curious how the Gun Saber will synergize with core traits.

You’ve got your whining thread to whine in. Why not keep your complaining there?

[iKeostuKen.2738]

Playing Devil trigger and bury the light on beat to the skills I'm putting out.

No matter what I'm holding dragon slash till "Pull my devil trigger" drops.

[Psycoprophet.8107]

I'm looking forward to seeing how well it flows rotational wise. The skills look fantastic imo just worried how well they will flow in a pvp setting. If it ends up being a good pvp spec prob be a long time before I ever use a diff spec haha. Time will tell, I hope it's good as it's the only samurai like spec in the game.

I never said whether the complaints are justified or unjustified, I just wanted to have a more positive oriented thread, since not everyone has the same opinion and some people may like aspects of it 🙂

All of these thoughts runnin' through my head

begins charging
Arm on fire, veins burnin' red

5 bullets
Frustration is gettin' bigger

10 bullets
Bang,

eats 4K

bang,

Eat 3k

bang,

Is at 1 health point remaining

pull my Devil Trigger

500k ultra death slash, everything in sight dies

 

something like that?

[Valik Shin.9027]

I think it has potential in pve and gonna be nothing more than a gimmick build for pvp. Also can't believe the took our burst skills away. That really cripples our weapons

Start charging behind wall and then teleport out and slash.

The 3 times I have face planted with Holosmith have prepared me for this spec.

This perfectly summarizes my experience on Holosmith. 

[oscuro.9720]

I’ll add my own opinions to this;

Overall, I’m looking forward to the whole thing. I think there will be some cool, effective ways to play this that are very different from how warrior has been played without losing the “warrior” feel that keeps me coming back for more. 
I am excited to see the variety of ways that dragon trigger will be usable in competitive play, as I see fairly high bait and execution potential that will create a very multi-faceted gameplay. I think that the trigger will provide a lot of different gameplay styles.

As far as traits go, I’m looking them over and am seeing a lot of potential synergizing with a variety of weapons, providing an interesting gameplay style. It should be quite fun to play around with.

That’s not to say I don’t have misgivings or concerns about certain things, or already have some feedback I’m going to be focusing on, specifically in regards to weapon skills that I will be looking at in the Beta weekend, but overall I’m very excited and think there’s a lot of potential in the spec 🙂

[Verdict is Vengence.6912]

I like a lot of what Bladesworn has to offer and I dislike a lot of things it lacks. My top 2 things I like about Bladesworn:

1. It looks cooler than every single new espec shown thus far (maybe not virtuoso depending on preference)

2. It gives the feeling of a samurai.

Bladesworn's abilities looks really swift and deadly. The style of design is exemplary. The floating shell casings and the large sweeping attacks are fantastic design choices by the devs. Bladesworn looks like a samurai in a fantasy setting. It looked to give a feeling of an authentic samurai fantasy adaptation. I'd bet it feels just the same when playing it.

I'm looking forward to how it plays in the beta. Let's go team warrior. kitten those other classes. Lol I don't why I put that but eff em. Warrior 4 eva 😜

Im looking forward to get Zerker 2.0.

Insane amounts of downsides for high dmg that will be nerfed into the ground because of QQ but the downsides will still be the same.

It is actually Zerker 3.0 , Holo was Zerker 2.0 since it stole the whole Stick of the HoT balance berserker and now we have the reverseru and warrior is swiping the cool toys from Engi. 

[Grand Marshal.4098]

I want to use all the mobility skills, as it looks quite fun. Fun ends with duels tho...Patience I suppose. We will see what Bladesworn does against Renegades, Mirages and Thieves. Sad that I saw no condi cleanse traits or in some utility. Also excited aout our "Roll for Initiative" as I will finally roleplay thief!

It opens the roaming option for warrior in SPVP and it might be even good option for WvW zergs and roaming, looks like it is something like Holo / Ranger roam builds where they are gankers that can also hold a sidenode in an emergency for while.

Not being great at sidenodes is not a bad thing it would leave the other 3 warrior options their niche.

The cleanse thing is probably so it doesn't end up like early POF Holo and force people to supplement their build with some defensive traits and skills (with the hope that those get the a touch up for the new century) and not plop all the damage traits and skills and just run over everything.

The spec is amazing all around for PVP as it is going in another role.
