Post 25/2/2020 About Warrior -> Greatsword -> Headbut ->tradeoffs

[SKASEPOUSTH.1628]

So What is warrior ? a duelist ? a Interceptor for roamters ? an Initiator ? Someone you can use to pressure key targets ? A support to his team with the correct build ? one could say all of the above before this patch kicked in . Right now ? It sure feels like someone on that balance team had a massive grudge against warrior . and his trusty greatest of the swords . What is a greatsword to a warrior ? a mobility tool . a gap closer . an all in tool to use once he has exhausted his oponen resources ! . thats what it used to be . right now it feels more like a Greatbrush rather than a great sword wieldet by a skilled fighter and an apperantly weaponmaster according to arena nets own description of the class . and yet right now . the weapon skill that has the the most downsides to its user . the 100 blades . also seems to have one of the lowest possible damage outputs compaired to the damage window it has . plus the downsides of someone actualy using it . hell some can say that now you can literaly facetank it and basicly punish the warrior for atempting to punish you for your possitioning ! . not to mention the state of the berserkers Headbutt . an ELITE skill that;s a SHORT RANGE SINGLE TARGET stun thats ALSO STUNING ITS USER that according to the claims of arena net about tradeoffs it SHOULD do at least some reasonable damage . but nope its a cc skill so it goes right down the blueberry bucket and not does less than ticklish ammounts of damage to literaly anything or anyone for that matter ! . As things are now if you wish to get more than 10 k damage on a fully cast 100 blade on a target you would need every single bit and piece of your build to be 100 % focused to pure damage potential . time those casts and activations in the correct order to stack those damage multypliers . and then stand still for the duration of that skill in order to achieve that said goal . wile IN THE SAME PATCH we got deadeyes . that can casualy teleport all around the place , stealth on every evade . and casualy blow your brains in to an other dimention with 14 -15 k bursts of damage from 1500 range . Im not sure anymore if anyone in the balance team even tests those changes you do to the game of guildwars 2 pvp. Hell if you are so commited in "balancing" this game mode wich apperantly its the only game mode you play at the moment that has limited stats you can use . limited combinations of those said stats . limited sigils . limited runes . AND limited skill damage and sandbox multypliers . !!! WHY DONT YOU JUST GIVE EVERYONE COOKY CUTER BUILDS AND BEDONE WITH PVP ? WHY NOT REMOVE CREATIVITY AND BUILD VARIETY ENTIERLY WILE YOU ARE AT IT ? eh ?!?!?! WHY NOT JUST OPEN A TEST SERVER FOR A SHORTWILE like what you had done on the release of guild wars 2 to test the servers and the game state before the actual release if you care ow so much about that delisious balance !!! . What you achieved today is the complete eradication of the sence and effect of Impact builds should have! . Im not saying it was perfect before the patch . all im saying is that you went TO FAR on the reducing damage side of things .... healthpools stayed the same ... armor ratings also stayed relatively the same . condition damage stayed close to the same since it completly ignored armor values . amulet stats also geting reduced . damage multypliers from those abilitys rediced . croud control casting times and recharges increased . wile ALSO removing any potential damage from those croud control abilitys . Add all those up together ? and you got what we got now ... and pardon my "french" ... a pile of gloryfied health dispencers that fart conditions and shit boons is what we got now . hope you are happy with the outcome . cause sure as hell noone else will be !!

All jokes aside, Warrior does feel quite bad right now. Headbutt is laughable, Berserker's Stance is needed more than ever but it's stuck at a cumbersome 40 seconds, Hammer is unusable, Sustain feels gutted etc.

Good. No more faceroll on keyboard is always welcomed.

All classes were face roll before patch too

I'm fully aware of that, even my main class become a faceroll with it's elite speces even more. I'm happy it got nerfs, but I still believe it should get a proper rework from scratch, since its a dumbed down, cheap mix of thief and guardian, which I hate with passion.
