Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Unrooting it still wouldn't make it worth using most of the time over just auto attacking. Get CC'd or your target teleports, shadow steps, blinds you , or evades the last strike then you've wasted your time. Making it a 2s to 2.5s cast time would let it finish it's cast quickly enough that even if the last strike whiffs it would still be worth using over the AA chain. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron.1294 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Just make it quicker, and add ranged attacks to it similar to guard sword 3 (less range but AoE) and we're good 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior.9487 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) Unroot, quicker, more dmg, more range and from 3 to 5 targets! Give us back the arc divider with 3 spins and the DMG GS Skill 3 is also very bad GS Skill 4 is useless (most of the time the sword is not coming back) GS Skill 5 is also still bad Warrior need more dmg. We do less dmg on the Golem as the most other classes. In fights we are melee and must run, run and run so our dmg is even more bad If you compare this with ranged fighters.

Fueki.4753 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) It's been time to unroot Hundred Whiffs for over eleven years. I doubt it's going to happen anytime soon. Edited June 7 by Fueki.4753 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty.4806 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Fun fact: hundred blades does about 2% more damage than auto attacking for the same cast time. 🙂 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscuro had threads on it here: and here: and here... I made post on it back in 2021 here: Prior to that I had a post showing the coefficients of greatsword relative to the AA chain. If you miss the last strike of 100Blades you do 10% less damage than if you had spent that time auto attacking. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron.1294 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) @Lan Deathrider.5910There's actually 5th problem with 100b in comparison to other similar skills (especially in competetive) - while channeling 100blades unlike blurred frenzy for example warrior CAN'T turn around.....

With so many issues with 100B you'd think it would do PvE Dragon Slash levels of damage... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you miss the last strike of 100Blades you do 10% less damage than if you had spent that time auto attacking. An update; I believe it now out damages auto attack by 15-20% now (I don’t remember off the top of my head) due to recent buffs. I would argue the tradeoff for that damage makes the skill weak relative to other skills and the tradeoffs they incur, but it is not down at 2% anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duels and small group play in wvw are what I speak on most times.

A 3.5 cast time self root that is backloaded is a dead skill in this game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see what Anet does moving forward, I’ve said my peace 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) If it were a 2s cast time the root wouldn't matter. If it is unrooted but still a 3.5s cast time then it would still have the problems that it has. Edited June 9 by Lan Deathrider.5910 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've begun to believe that the whole skill needs another animation that's faster and unrooted so that the skill can be viable in modern Gw2. It's just a relic of a bygone era now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
