Dear CMC all Rage Skills need to remove Weakness/Blind/Slow on use


Grand Marshal.4098

Recommended Posts

Give them some more value. They are fairly straightforward and simple and CI will still require for the warrior to hit with bursts (even tougher now that the Berserk mode skill does not proc to clear something like blind). 

Resistance is lovely sure, but it's a shadow of it's former self and long duration conditions (usually the debilitating ones) can easily outlast our resistance applications.

If you don't want to make this a baseline thing for all Rage skills, then consider merging an associated trait with Savage Instinct, which will now give Feel No pain and a Stunbreak on Berserk mode use and clear these 3 conditions on Rage skills.

The weakness/blind/slow spam in the game , cannot be countered by warriors and their limited toolkit. 

 

Please consider.

I don't know if any of these requests will make the patch next week, but here is what I would do with Berserker given their current philosophy:

 

  • Smash Brawler: In addition to it's previous effects this trait now doubles the rage duration extension of rage skills.
  • Savage Instinct: In addition to it's previous effects this trait now removes blind and weakness when using a rage skill. (I would keep the slow removal attached to Wild Blow only)
  • Blood Reaction: This trait is reworked. Deal 7% increased critical strike damage, this increase is doubled in berserk mode.

The Smash Brawler change addresses some of the PVE concerns about the removal of the Outrage+Headbutt berserk mode duration increase combo. The Savage Instinct change helps Berserker actively deal with the blind and weakness spam that is rampant, and would help after the Resistance from Bloody Roar wears off, or if you drop out of Berserk Mode. The Blood Reaction change is to move away from stat converters in general, which they appear to be doing gradually.

problem is not the traits specially with the new changes.

problem is how garbage the core weapon skills and core burst skills are

now berserker is just a core warrior with primal burst which you can choose to use instead of core burst.

given you already know what all of these skills do

 

yes they removed core burst because it was just core war + primal burst.

now it's again core war + primal burst, given how garbage core war is, is primal burst going to save berserker? heck no.

there has not been a single playable core burst skill other then arcing slice for years, which is hilarious.

 

every single core burst skill other then arcing slice need rework or buff, including eviscerate

every single core weapon other then axe, shield need rework or buff

This. 100% this.

 

Fortunately, the defense rework has laid the groundwork for some successful warrior builds. Now if we can only get some good weapons, we might be in business...

 

I'm hopeful for the November patch. ANet's approach to balance (and feedback) lately has been immensely encouraging... Here's hoping they've heard our (pages of) suggestions for weapon buffs and redesigns!
