Request: Burst of Aggression

[anbujackson.9564]

So, there are many topics about potential changes to traits but there is one trait which I thought about a lot lately so bear with me please. 

 

Burst of Aggression was reworked with the major berserker changes in 2019 and gives you 3 seconds of quickness and superspeed when entering berserk mode. And thats it. 3 seconds when you start.

 

Why not put the name to good use and give the warrior these boons after a burst attack. If its too much for power berserker (f1 spam), you can also put like a 2 to 3 seconds ICD on it. Anything would be better really. Just look at necro shroud quickness generation, or mesmer or holo with sword. I mean you are a raging maniac, swinging around/trashing everything and yet you do it worse than other professions. Berserker wouldnt even get stronger with it, especially in PvE. Its more like QoL and a fix to match the theme of the spec to make it more enjoyable in open world while not buffing it for end game content. Drop the superspeed if needed but at least give me quickness.

 

That shouldnt be so hard to implement. Thanks. 🙂

No icd needed. You're spending adrenaline for it so there would be an inherent down time on it, not to mention that it would still be limited by other CDs.

This seems very reasonable.

 

What I'd like back is the ability to use regular bursts outside of berserker state. Someone else put it in another thread that when you're not in berserker state, you're a core warrior since none of the berserker traits actually apply to your warrior outside of that state.

 

The least they could do is what you're asking for. And if they're really being pals about it, they'd bring back regular bursts when out of berserker state.

Fair enough. 

 

Wouldn't still be as strong as the mesmer illusion traits.

Yeah I would like that too, but it's rather unlikely. I prefer a manual exit instead, which people like Lan requested multiple times already. Its after all the only mode in the entire game which you can't stop. I lost count on the amount of times I started berserker (no real damage otherwise) just to have half of the duration wasted and when you need it again its on cd. You are actually worse than core by the way since so many traits proc on burst also.

Sorry if I missunderstand you but the fire burst is actually not that good since a good chunk of your damage comes from bleed (speaking as a PVE player). Compared to firebrand or weaver its rather weak really. I don't know how condi war performs in competitive but I imagine it's not that good there either (too many and slow proectiles).

i viewed your first post as a nerf to a type of warrior and you forgot that there's lots of lelz op skills outside of the warrior class that you don't even address and made as a comparison to..

Well I wouldn't call the traits/skills from other professions which I used as comparison "op". Selfish application of quickness is good for solo/non group situations and improves the flow of your gameplay but thats it.
