Its really any build that uses Sentinel stats and Burst Mastery Precision. You have low-ish damage with almost no crits, but your burst has 100% chance to crit and hits hard. A lot of players get lulled in by how weak the normal attacks are, but once you CC them or hit them with a burst they drop quickly. It can take most opening bursts from other players and still have 15-20k hp left over. Edited November 21, 2022 by Lan Deathrider.5910 delayed fixing of toddler induced typo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's Burst Precision that gives 100% critical chance on Bursts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, typing while being toddlered causes mistakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmTheStorm.2364 Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Most of the conversation in this thread had been around Berserker, but I want to point out that I think Bladesworn is pretty close to viable in PvP. It still has good damage, a nice mix of ranged and melee attacks, and really good healing. Sure, the spec has many issues that can and should be redesigned at some future date, but I think it could be at least competitive if they simply put some stability back on it. Here's hoping they do something so the spec doesn't stay dead for the next few months until the next patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id prefer if it was tied to daring dragon and refreshed when you re-entered dt, but heres hoping they approach it with nuance.

Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Yeah, the issue now with BSW is that they took the stab away almost completely. They should have put the stability back on Flow Stabilizer if they were going to revert DSD back to the beta version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for stab being back on flow stabilizer (let it keep the Fury, though, as BS has very little access to Fury otherwise). I do think that there needs to be stab somewhere else in BS's kit, preferably on triggerguard. Otherwise, you get into a situation where you have to take a specific utility skill for your build to be viable, and that's never a good thing. If something is integral for a spec to function (stability in this case), it needs to be accessible in the base kit, not only in utilities.

I would absolutely love if that were true in PvP. Alas, currently SpB is A tier but everything else is C tier. Glad there are good builds in PvE though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do bear in mind, i'm being tongue in cheek here because we had a time when only TR Shoutsworn was being played, and everything else was subpar. There were some moments in our lives where Warrior was kinda lacking and we had very few options, so i'm kinda trust Anet to be consistent here and put us back into the program.
