CalmTheStorm.2364 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Title. I mean, seriously... Ranger's Dolyak Stance does significantly more than Balanced Stance, but DS has a 40s CD. And can even be shared with allies via a trait. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodama.6453 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Kinda hard to directly compare those two. Making you immune to critical hits is way stronger against power damage builds than the 33% damage reduction the dolly stance provides. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't justify an extra 10s CD, tho. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about that movement impairing condition immunity eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXruina.4956 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 i want it at 30s, at least for the wvw split. 🙂 go big when wanting for changes, the pace warrior's been developing is ungodly, to the point they left the class in a broken state for years prior to oct 2022 and feb 2023. so lets go big. 💪 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 40 seems fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To use this ability at full potential the warrior have to know when the enemy does it's max combo to avoid instant downing from crits.A good enemy will bait out Balaned Stance with kitting around. An improved verstion of the old version of stability would be good to have back but 0 chances I fear. Anyway we can beat this for days with no results because of the balancing of the game where the balancing team solved balancing with giving out everyone everything to have and no particular skill set for each character to make it unique other than the F1,2,3... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTGuevara.9018 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 40 seconds? Nah, go harder. 25. Just look at the skill. A paltry FOUR seconds of pulsing stability and critical hit immunity. Out of FORTY. Nah, no good. 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, go harder. 25. agreed, specially for things like berserker stance and frenzy, can definitely be pushed to 25s in their current state, 30s at the very least. as for endure pain and balanced stance, i feel 30s would be just right. but in today's game they're just too short lived. they could rework berserker stance or frenzy to consume conditions for 10s, much like bear stance or spectral walk. this would be nice.

Hotride.2187 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Lol at the comments for 30 sec and lower, especially mentioning endure pain. Some big delusions there. But anyway 40 sec balanced stance is fine in wvw and it will be fine in conquest. You'll probably still not run it a lot of the time but it would be an alternative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd totally take it over endure pain and Dolyak signet (that one could reasonably be lowered to 32s if and when they ever remove the CD reductions from Arms) if BS were a 40s CD. The complete dmg immunity from endure pain is awesome for sure, but the immunity to crits is good enough in many cases, and the pulsing stab prevents getting locked down (which is a big problem with EP). In an ideal set up, I'd take both BS and EP, but that usually comes with a pretty big tradeoff somewhere (like giving up shake it off or bull's charge). Still could work in some matchups. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about immobilize/chill if you are CCed to death? .....can swap dolyak stance fo balanced stance..any day of the week for me, I play both and Balanced Stance is head and shoulders better than dolyak stance any day of the week. Immune to critical dmg + pulsing stability? Yes...I can stroll inside spamming CC for a good while...the immobilize can be easily cleared, especially on a spellbreaker. Sorry guys but I simply cannot accept the comparison P.S I gave up about that dead game mode ages ago...so do whatever you want in PvP Edited April 10, 2023 by Arheundel.6451 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firellis.7954 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) the issue here for me is something more fundamental as warriors do not usually have boons and when they do use utilities it's mostly focused on ONE active boon 2 at times, problem is when the enemy can rip boons 2 at minimum or 3 in a single go it's easily removed- and when you're playing a melee-oriented class stuff going insta kaput in your face often leads into you getting waypointed out. I love warrior but it's really disabled in the current meta when almost any soft cc that are spammable by the other classes(blind/enfeeble/cripple/chill) can counter it easily.

Also, unlike Dolyak Stance Balanced Stance offers no reduction versus conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
