Merged Thread - Warrior Is Overperforming In Structured PVP - 2023-2024

Recommended Posts

This is a merged dedicated to the compilation of all of the current and future discussions regarding the overperformance of Warrior in PVP from 2023 until addressed . This will make it easier for the balance team to find all the feedback the community has contributed throughout multiple threads. I am sure I missed multiple threads, and if that is the case, feel free to add them to this merged thread.

The only thing I wanna say, in terms of what people should expect, is that it's very unlikely Spear Swipe loses the unblockable status UNLESS it becomes a non-projectile.
It was changed explicitly to prevent the projectile from interrupting your own evade. Making it a non-projectile sorta like Harb's Tainted Bolts is prolly the right thing to do there then, tbh.

Other than that go wild, bring back old PoF Str Spellbreaker instead :<

Change the tittle to: "Defense Spellbreaker", let's not pretend it's the whole class, we all know the state of power berserker and bladesworn, ANet just wants Defense Spellbreaker to be the one here.

Defense spellbreaker is the main issue, but the problem is definitely wider than just it alone. It isn't as common, but every time I fight a sidenode condition Berserker, or a few other warrior builds, it also feels broken. Near infinint healing and condition cleans while also doing damage that can lead to a kill, is what I consider the issue. Spellbreaker is the strongest, but I'm just not convinced if spellbreaker alone was nerfed another warrior spec wouldn't take its place.

The defense line overall is overtuned. Perhaps nerfing it alone will solve the rest of the warrior issues, and spellbreaker can be the only specialization that requires a direct nerf/bugfix.

Basically, just Denfese Condizerker, there's no other warrior build that could be this strong apart from these 2.

Note defense condizerker also is completely carried by akeem, and not due to anything intrinsic to the class at the moment.

I'm inclined to believe it being even approaching viable is an accident (that is, it was achieved through oversight moreso than design).  Any minor adjustment to akeem thanoses it, and the whole zerker spec got nerfs because of that sole interaction.
