Hope Arena Net will nerf Gaurdian soon, Spellbreaker is op

This didnt age well LOL

I think the most significant change in recent patches was the gigantic nerf to resistance so that it no longer provides invulnerability to damaging conditions. Resolution was given as an alternative to be the condi-equivalent to protection, but precious few classes and specs actually received any kind of change to the duration of resolution or options for its application. Core warrior in particular has no options for resolution outside of the defense trait, hence why I obsessively stack condi cleanses (and it's still never enough). The way to address this would be to mitigate to a small extent the amount of condi vomit, especially from ground AoE. 2-3 condis are easy to deal with, 7 is fine once, but a reapplication of 7 condis within 5 seconds is virtually impossible to deal with. Resistance was overpowered, but it seems to me it was as necessary as stability in the current meta.

I like how your highlight video in the video while you are whining about it being OP features you running away after losing a duel and failing to keep up with the pace of boon application on foes despite using meta build. In my experience this Spellbreaker build is primarily used for baiting and kiting and can usually be safely ignored because it doesn't do anything, especially considering that staff is a SUPPORT weapon, yet I always see these breakers kiting off node and generally just trolling, since the staff does no damage, or sidenoding infinitely, since they can't kill anything. It's primarily picked because Spellbreaker has zero sustain built into the traitline, and because it provides excellent mobility for kite meta. Also funny watching you die easily on mid when you decide to go for a node. Also barely seeing you maintain 2 stacks of attackers insight. It is a joke by comparison to maintain at least 10 stacks of might with a build that makes slight effort, with easy bursts up to 25. Strength alone makes each stack 40 power. Anyway, enjoy your nerfs, metabuilders. Staff is carrying Spb.

Oh it's not that bad. Clearly a PvP weapon. I think it's great with the amount of interrupts and stead damage it gives.

Stalwart Strength is a huge issue on SB. It's a "win more" trait where landing a cc on an enemy makes you immune to it yourself (stab stack). SB can use and abuse this scenario due to massive boon rip ensuring enemy has no good defense vs his cc, making it swim in free stab. Magebane tether (the dps grandmaster) only pushes this further, preventing enemy escape from this deathtrap. Zerker on other hand has to sacrifice his stab & stunbreak (Eternal Champion) if he wants to get dps (Bloody Roar). On top of that he has no good boonrip, so any cc faceoff with an enemy that also has cc and stab isn't a guarateed win. It may very well be you who'll end up face into the dirt and getting pounded for free...

I hate that Spellbreaker was made specifically for PvP. I wish they'd shift it more towards PvE instead, allowing Warrior's other Elite Specs to get some sunshine.

Guru, please make some power bers build who mostly close 2be good and versatile in runked🙏🏻 now i run hummer/swrd-shield with disc and defence Brsk amulet, dolyak and midnight king

i'd rather have more boonstrips than boon coruption tbh

I dont understand how sb are op. Everytime i try to play sb, i get owned. Someone want to teach me how to play?

I am sorry, in 1v1, as pew pew thiefy boi, i afraid more of condi barseker staff/sword,turch then any spellbreaker (in WvW). even bladesworn harder nut to crack then spallbreaker (in WvW). BUTT! it's true thet low skill spellbreakers live longer and preform better then any other warroir's specks (in WvW). o7 hope my Exp helps, love your vids (in RL).

Warrior has aesthetics but lacks identity in alot of content. Spb being a topdog bunker is one of very few strengths. Warriors doesnt get a spot as dps nor a roamer in pvp because its kit simply doesnt compare to what the competition brings. Not even close. For pve its a great all arounder but wont ever pressure the top dogs in dps or support. Decent cc though with spb and some niche fights where bladesworn shines for a few moments. Wvw zergs is a mess but atleast it has a "top spot" there.

Meanwhile Bladesworn gets nerfed again.

Spellbreaker has always been OP, nerf it into oblivion

Thanks for critically analysing the spec. I agree that the spec is propping up warrior, and that is fundamentally wrong (even though Im trying to build an off meta SB to try). I usually main soulbeast/druid in wvw and the only specs that usually give me issues are catalysts, daredevil, spellbreaker and harbinger, so pvp is not the only game mode it performs very strong in.

So the hilarious thing is, spellbreaker is the most powerful when it comes to conquest but is still not the most powerful within warrior itself. That goes to Berserker which if built correctly and played while halfway awake, can become an unkillable god with tremendous damage as opposed to spellbreaker which is killable even played at its best by two players with good dps builds. Even core warrior eclipses spellbreaker in this regard. So if spellbreaker gets nerfed, new problems arrise out of warrior even without any buffs to the core warrior chasis. And it is often the case that the bugs plaguing warrior are as detriment to their opponents as they are to themselves. 😂

ANET: Instruction unclear we nerfed spellbreaker but didn't buff anything else.

To be completely honest. And I'm in love with Berserker. GW2 tries really hard with visual aspect of this class, but numbers just don't stack up. I'm speaking from relatively new player perspective. However one thing is very obvious. Warrior require three trait lines to properly function. One for burst Second for damage Third for survivability Both Bladesworn and Spellbreaker provide the third from their kit. That being movement or counters respectively. Berserker however offer none of those. Most of his traits are conditional effects related to skills. And that's why he needs to run both Signets of Power and Ferocity. To suplement pack of them. Dude either choose full damage or a small cc menace with hammer/mace. But this makes him really awkward to play, because (from PvE perspective) you have 3 skills which you use when not bursting. And this gets boring really quickly. You either stay at someone's ass the entire time and out damage it - which will never happen -, or die running. When you thing of Berserk you think about unstoppable mountain of muscle and heavy armor constantly trying to rip you head off. And what weapon can do it? Hammer at best however this skill have 600 base damage... What? Why?! And it's on 5 seconds cooldown. You need to sacrifice your entire trait line for nothing and you still get... Nothing! It's a real shame. Berk need both rework of traits and given appropriate survivability. Headbutting stun you for one second and this can mean life or death on any endgame activity. You're having this mountain of a warrior, a literal master of war. And what did he get? A torch... You're literally lighting a way to nothingness

great commentary Cpt Crapface !

Probably unrelated to the video, but as a Warrior main I feel like Warrior has basically nothing interesting in its kit across all customizations. The only thing that is somewhat interesting is Spellbreaker with like 2 weapon sets and that's it. I'm not talking strictly about PvP, I'm talking about the whole game - as you said, there might as well be no Warrior as a class, just Spellbreaker. I have made a lot of alts in the past few years and it was mindblowing for me how interesting all of them are comparing to a Warrior that basically has 1 proper build. And unfortunately, with Janthir Wilds coming, you hear nobody talk about Warrior's spear and it just makes me sad. Everybody is excited about basically any other class other than Warrior, I have yet to find a video that talks about Warrior's new features as they do about Mesmer's, Elementalist's or any other class really. Probably a scrubby opinion, I'm a newbie at the game, I'm just envious about other classes, it feels like Warrior gets no attention from anybody including anet.

ANet be like: we want to balance the game but we don't wanna make specs unfun, and then proceeds to nerf the only fun parts of bladesworn, making a lot of unpopular changes and not even addressing the real issues that made bladesworn so unfun to face from the enemies pov, it still has a stupid interaction with aegis spam + shield trait and the selfheal sustain is still crazy, but it has really low pressure now, removed the CC from DT, GS3 cast is way slower and WAY less damage, DT2 delay, the DT2 random selfroot bug is still a thing, still can't stow or cancel animations on gunsaber unless you press the ESC key (that's just terrible) And it's always the same story, spellbreaker always ends up being way better and the other specs gets either unpopular changes or just too few/nothing.

I come to this channel to laugh at your horrible warrior takes and this video did not disappoint.

They fear our potential, hence why really

They broke Spellbreaker in WvW though. Scourge strips way more boons there. I miss my SB. :(

12:20 100% Agree. -- I liked the video, reminded me of my "Please delete [Unshakable Mountian] post. But I actually think that they should just buff the other 2 at this point. And by buff' i mean rework'. I doubt they have the dev budget / want to do this. If theyre not going to do things like: Giving Warrior real movement skills. Spellbreaker needs to be bullshit because every other color spec is. Warrior os nuts because the thigs on it that are nuts are REALLY NUTS and its jank because the jank things are REALLY JANK. But take it from a Bladesworn main, nefring your specialization doesn't mean they're hoing to buff other Specs that share your color. At least not in the same year. They should start with fixing the double Full Counter reduction tho. 😂

Asking ANET for anything is a monkey's paw scenario: You may get what you wish for, but it's going to have consequences that make you wish you hadn't asked to begin with (such as obliterating a class by tripping over all the traits that make a viable build, only to remove a core feature and most of those traits no longer work. Or even having traits that are supposed to work but don't -- looking at you, Ranger).

Pls don't ask for nerfs, knowing Anet they will trickle over into other gamemodes for no reason.

If Anet knew how to balance we would not have the cele condi meta. Who's bright idea was it to buff cele? Broken spellbreaker is only as bad as perma invis thief with very little reveal. The game as a whole has way to much cc.

I have 2 questions. Is spellbreaker good for pve and do u have particular build for spellbreaker?

What i get from it all, change core warrior burst to consume 1 bar at a time, but can have a bonus if 3 bars have been filled, relocate +% damage to other part of profession, link boon strip to weapon so all of warrior have access to some of it, review utility skills and take away some of the janky stuff in every kit.

Brother I already realized I made a mistake swapping back to zerker mid End of Dragons, yoh don't have to rub it in. :I

U are wrong, sb is alright.

Yes welcome to the dark side. Spellbreaker can be ok at everything but great at nothing. I'm happy about this video because I'm tired of zerk fanboys videos. Now instead of nerfs put boon removal on banners and make it relevant again

bladesworn was good on release, and it just became a self reflect bot with little to no damage. lol

So basically you want other Warriors specs to be viable in PVP. I know the class has a lot of boon rip but when you look a Necro who can convert all you boons to condi with a single button. Warrior look very tame when it has to press over 5 skills to remove a series of random boons that can be easily replaced.

This class whole purpose is to sell PoF expansion to PvP warrior main. It does not have different playstyle like Berserker or Bladesworn. It's just core warrior PREMIUM. Nothing more, not thing less.

I really want to agree that Full Counter is too powerful until I find another player that also has stow weapon keybound. Players that know how to stow cancel, or bait out, full counter negate it's usefulness. It's also countered by boon corruption, blind and stability. Full Counter is annoying but so is playing around every other professions cooldowns, passive blocks and reset skills. I agree that the rest of warrior needs to be brought up, but I don't want what happened to bladesworn to happen to spellbreaker.

I've been paying more attention to it now and I completely agree with you. There's currently no other class, that annoys me more in PvP. Especially when it's getting support. Nice video.

Asking for nerfs can end up pretty horribly, even though it is reasonable. Anet might just nerf Full Counter CD, its daze duration, staff F1 damage, sword Rip damage and call it a day.

I stub my toe using full counter once

Only in PVP.

Seems like Cal kinda got a hang of this balance thingy. Seems fine to me 🤡. You should try Sword Axe Staff SPB with Heretic. I havent played in like 3 weeks and I feel so much more relaxed not dreaming about my teammate hitting Defiant Stance SPB to make him full hp once more. Or how I missclick and hit fc just to get dazed and killed.

JANET hears you, we will nerf bladesworn accordingly.

This gets absolutely annihilated by any condi build 💀💀💀

Hey, how do you change the health bar to be so *exy and clunky? Thanks!
