self report :)

@captaincrapface7337 in what way? bp is terrible and no regs alot, magik is the best but still pretty mid overall, iron fist is better than most people think but hes still bad overall, wolverine is decent but overrated and poorly designed

hopefully it won't lead to the same final results.

sigh

also adding back the tanky amulets would counter this super bursty meta that's been going on for ages

If we buffed necro significanly, it wouldnt only keep in check guard and ele, but overtake the entire ranked scene. Necro can be very opressive, and ironically, Willy (possesing multiple dashes alleviateing negative effects of movoment impairments, passive cleanse, invoul and cooldown resets, and Eli who bosts bonuses that cannot be removed or corupted (Auras), [Rebound] buff, [Stone Heart], is also quite well equipped to fight necro.

you know, responce to certain characters being too OP for two long like it was in OW would be hireing someone with two fucking braincells to do balancing. Not enable hawkeye the ability to 2-shot half of the tanks.

@@captaincrapface7337 You are talking specifics now, not an issue with season buff itself. Hawkeye is just plain broken with or without it. I don't understand who thought it'd be a good idea to give him a one shot in the first place.

Indeed, guard mains always cry when presented with credible argumentation, and undeniable proofs.

you mean the strongest avaliable pvp class is not ment to be used in pvp? ok.

@@captaincrapface7337 what i mean is it is you can use it whereever you want but it is clearly too powerful to be used while you wait in a small circle less then its aoe diameter for 20 secs and also they really didnt think about what if there are 2 willbenders attacking the same person in that node. this is the simplest answer.

yes, Virt is literaly 2nd in line to get hate. 2nd becouse it takes a tiny bit higher IQ than that of a coffie table to play mesmer. - Willy doesn't have this weakness.

no you won't lose people by balancing PvP around skilled players. The people you'd lose by doing this are playing Open World and Fractals. Secondly it seems i haven't shown off properly how easy it is to preform this stuff. - i tought efortless double kill at the very begining of the video, preformed by the guy who played 2 games of willbender in last month and a half, will be enough of an example. But hey, if i was smarter i wouldn't be maining warrior.

It's still a joke that warrior, being the so called by anet weapon master gets no melee chain attacks like thief does with spear if the enemy is too close.

Yes, one class taking 33% less damage permamently, dealing 4x the necro's base health in one rotation of skills, being phisically impossible to kite, porting with CC trough walls and being casually able to generate almost every boon in the game at once - all at the same is indeed a skill issue. The skills of this class do too much at once, this is indeed an issue with skills - skill issue you might say. And if you analize classes you just complained about, you'll notice similiar pattern.

all hopes in the potted plant.

unfortunately, there's a case where issues with a class go so deep nerfing overpreforming builds withaout colatteral damage is borderline impossible. But I'd start with removing weakness of of spear 5 and Whirling Light would be a good starting point.

@@captaincrapface7337 thank you for responding captain,We will see what will become of Willbender but I think spear 5 knockdown should be removed,after all teleporting and stunning really does not leave for counter play.

Because Anet can’t/won’t population balance in WvW……

Its perfectly understandable if you acknowledge that wvw is not a place for small scale fighting witch many people doesn't seem to get. A skill that is ok in 5vs5 can be game breaking in a 35vs35 or more where 10 people are chaining it or the other way around a skill balanced for multiple people to stack/spam together will be probably bad/usles for when you only have 1 caster...

bold of you to assume i can be even remotely happy

I'm not looking for a road to walk on but for a brick to clobber someone with (figuratively). I learned already that with willbender discourse, each example needs to be blunt enough to cause a consussion, otherwise it'll get immediatly twisted.

Hey, put some respect on the name of Potatoes.

Rushing Justice has 1.2 power coeff in PvP since July 19 2022. Spear 3 has 1.0 coeff in WvW and that isn't getting nerfed. Definitely those are helping with 80+ thousand damage from one cooldown rotation, and overabundance of safety features willy gets for free while doing his damage. Only thing on guardian adressed in this patch, even remotely right was hammer - and that arguably didn't need adressing to begin with.

Willbender getting more resolutnion, does technically quality as a nerf, as it already permamently upkeeps resolution permamently with its current setup. So in essence it recieved redundant utility, equivalent of removeing a trait in question from the game.

At least they for once managed to come up with meaningfull warrior change ideas. (or more likely yoinked them from forums).

@@captaincrapface7337 Next good idea should be in the game by 2029. Please be patient.

​@@captaincrapface7337at least now we know they look in the warrior category even if is just cause corporate mandating that

​@@captaincrapface7337 Dude we know too well how Anet balances warrior. Once warrior gets something good it will be nerfed next time. The changes look promising, but they haven't given us entire information about how certain things will work, taking the Arms trait regarding Dual Wielding as example. There is gonna be healing involved in that but how much healing it doesn't say. I've got a suspicion it's gonna be like Might makes right. If they had such an idea, then they should have already leaked precise information about it. Except that they don't and that's giving me the impression they have no idea wtf to do with warrior still. As the guy said, this game is depressing.

The real answer is they don't care about pvp

I don't remember this sentiment being pushed around when spear Spellbreaker was getting nerfed.

Your answer is deleted by TH-cam.

@@captaincrapface7337 what is in your mind? How do you suggest to fix willbender? How should it feel like, how should it be played in your opinion? I saw videos on your channel about willbender, but didn't quite get it, what exactly needs to be done.

​@@skulpturostone4621 I know you didn't ask me, but I'm gonna throw my two cents in here any way: Judge's Intervention: Now has a 1/4 second cast time Renewed Focus: No longer grants Invulnerability Executioner's Calling: Reduced power coefficient of secondary attacks to 1.0 Advancing Strike: Reduced base Immobilize duration to 1 second Whirling Light: Increased cooldown to 20 seconds, reduced power coefficient to 3.0 Rushing Justice: This skill now requires a target for use. Crashing Courage: No longer grants Stability, no longer grants Stability on trigger. Not perfect, but it's a good start.

looks at ele, rev, and thief changes

there's only one reason why would you not be happy with barrier going down, and that is your life wasn't tainted by specific subsection of current meta. Trust me, I did the maths, people who don't purpousfully abuse very specific cmbination of traits and skills, won't be negatively affected by this change.

@@captaincrapface7337 and what percent of the comunity wont abuse something wheny they find its supper strong? most players want to abuse anything and everything they can to win so im sarry but you are rong thinking players wont abuse something wonce its found out its brocken or op. and that is why i have my stance that power creep is an issue were you lowere barrior and yet skill have crazzy dps numbers meaning who ever has the most players wins the fights not skill agen i know what im talking about.

@@MichaelPerlmanjr I don't entirely know how to break it down to you, but reducing defensive stats will not exasurbate the problems you are talking about, but will alleviate them instead. A singular skilled player cannot consistently abuse barrier spamming, you need two dedicated supports to do that. And it came to the place where whoever had more barrier spammer won by defaullt. - exact problem why are you talking about. You can burst down a sustain bunker, you cannot burst down barrier bunker. - that's the issue with barrier.

@@captaincrapface7337 lol i see you totaly miss the points im telling you the power creep were we do so mutch damage is a issue for sure and now the salution they did was to rase the barrior to 50% and now its 25% that is not aleviating the power creep just now blatenly showing its thare. most players will abuse anything they can as mutch as they can, i know Anet has locked themself in a corner. but they need to fix the power creep its defintyly the issue and is going to be all forword in this update i have been playing since relese and yes this is exacly hwo it will i have seen it way to many times but no you dont want o hear what the quiet ones say just what you hope it does

@@captaincrapface7337 i stated what i have and am not changing my way becouse you feel its right i have seen this play out 1000 times and it ends the say way all the time. i have done a lot of reserach into this stuff and it all points to this is not the right way to go. human phycolagy prove that time and time agen. no mater what you i am not changing that the patch nots for wvw is not going to be good.

you mean the damage of 3rd lvl burst: - that roots you for entire casting animation... - that is reflectable, blockable, blindable on reaction... - that *spellbreaker cannot use* becouse its 3rd lvl... - that is on a rifle... THAT is going to get the class nerfed... I'll quickly remind you that 3rd lvl Harrier Toss crits by default for 9k and goes trough projectile hate, yet noone complains about that. 1st rule of warrior, if SPB can't abuse it, its not a problem. Moreover, getting what you deserve to have is a win. Unless you preffer not getting it, then you have right to complain. I'm guessing Rifle Core F1 channel time is left alone becouse it serves as a safety buffer agains Spellbreaker takeing it and running off, but that's only an explanation if you hate spellbreaker enough. And no you don't get four rifle F1's in or out of berserk. Adrenaline doesn't grow on threes, and from what I checked, you'd have to run withaout damage traits, and withaout with Outrage as your stunbreak in the build to get 3rd reset in, let alone 4th. Not to mention 4 restets if you aren't running Arms for [Sygnat Mastery] would mean you stop existing in presence of enemy tempest. - have fun with that tought. Dual Wiealding is the thing I'm more worried will get yeeted out of the game, as that can be combined with [Sun and Mun Style] for 2x the healing on dagger-dagger SPB. And as we know it SPB is still more prone to abusing wierd shit, than zekrer ever will be, due to charckead survivability form [Fulll Counter] letting him get away with all his stupid shit. Neverhteless, enjoy the time we're given, opportunities to be happy don't come often for us warrior mains.

@ I do agree with that comment. However mine wasn’t about practicality, it was about what u can do with numbers that “seem” high or impressive and the lasting impression no ranks have with it. They’ve frequently nerfed builds that were bad and had no high end gameplay because of impressions from no ranks, and they openly stated in multiple posts about how balancing for low tier gameplay is just as important as high tier. I already have had 8 ppl in 1 day say warrior is too op cuz I’ve hit one 10k shot with core even tho it was telegraphed and had to write essay to them bout how it isn’t. The issue is that there’s a reoccurring stigma for new/low tier players saying warrior is ass to play, but too op when they die to them. That’s the stuff that leads to shit like us losing wpn stowing on bulls rush and shield bash even when it wasn’t anywhere in the meta, or flamethrower engi getting nerfed outta existence (even tho it was the most free kill u could get when fighting engine builds if u knew how to pvp, also I’m talking bout the scrapper one ud sit on not the kit swap builds). And u right getting what we want is nice no matter how long, but my main issue was that they only offer that content after they’ve completely neglected a thing they broke. For instance how many years did sword suffer cuz they kept forcing it to be hybrid stats with hard caps in solo stats, before they finally just removed that hard cap, and lowered channel time of burst. They tried so hard to force it condi and it took more than 4 reworks to make it a reasonable wpn. But they have the bad habit of buffing to remove features or bench to get back to later (looking at u unfinished supp reworks they said they keep working on). The reason why that upsets me is that they frequently ignore what we ask for and give us what they think we want. They put in minimal effort, and wait too long for effective changes, and they’ve openly said they don’t know what they want to do with warrior. It upsets me that they give us what we ask cuz they aren’t using their greatest asset when they are lost on what to do. That listening to the community and testing our ideas. Rather they make their own (for fuk sake supp zerker guys?!) and they only listen when they’ve exhausted all other ideas. Eventually doing stuff like buffing spb and then punishing us for playing it by mildly nerfing the spec itself, but nerfing all the things related that affect core or other elite specs more. It upsets me because they try ground breaking changes/reworks, but don’t put in the time and effort like they do for other classes who get paragraphs of committed changes that are focused on specific content and quick fixes, ours tends to be singular wpns spread over content (more so pve)

@bastianlorenz7192 as much as all you say was, and partially still is an issue, we are seeing somewhat consistent shift towards us getting what we want. Resistance in Berserker and Strength, Full Counter cooldown nerf, mace 5 reseting mace 4, flurry change you mentioned, well... staff as a whole... and now rifle changes. Since when our current balance team was instituted, they learned to suck significantly less along the way. To the point that almost all overpreforming garbage instituted into the game since SotO, was made by new content design team, not balance team. I'm not saying balance dudes are perfect, they certainly pussyfoot around guardian and mesmer... But they took all the overpreformers down a notch within a single patch, and helped all underpreformers a bit as well. There's certainly a shift for the better happening as we speak and I'm less and less worried each coming patch. Only think i really dread at this point is new expantion's sellout features...
