[WvW/PvP] - Bladesworn/Warrior Skill Issues - Improving Bladesworn's Playability

[SleepyBat.9034]

[Bulls Charge] - I so am tired of Bulls Charge being absolutely mandatory on every elite spec, it just takes all the fun out of a class when you're forced to take a certain skill due to design limitations because it means you'll never have the freedom to take other skills. You are hard-locked into running the same set of utilities on every build and it completely turns me off from playing Warrior. I was hoping Bladesworn would be the elite spec to break the mold but alas, low mobility and a lack of soft cc like Cripple on the main gap closer prevent this dream from becoming reality.

Core Warrior Skill Improvements:

• [Sword 2/Savage Leap] - This skill is a bit too slow and tends to miss too much to be a viable option. Bladesworn needs a functioning mobility skill that does damage.
• [Mace 3/Pommel Bash] - The main reason main hand Mace is never used is due to the lack of mobility on it. Adding a 450-range leap onto Pommel Bash would greatly improve the usability of Mace on all Elite Specs.

Bladesworn Skill Improvements:

• [Gunsaber 2/Blooming Fire] - This skill is too slow and does less damage than an auto-attack, also just drop the goofy ranged part of this skill.
• [Gunsaber 5/Break Step] - The 450 range and the after-cast being a tad too long makes it feel limited and awkward to deliver any follow-up damage. Changing how this skill does its damage to be at the end instead of at the beginning and adding some Cripple could greatly improve it.
• [Dragon's Roar/Pistol 5] - Because this skill has a 240 range with a very small attack radius combined with the long channel this skill will never land unless your opponent is stationary. This could be fixed if it had more range.
