Coming back to he game after a long time feels so weird and also sad for what they did to warrior. First they killed bannerslave, now they take away arc divider for basically the same skill as base warrior. I know not everything can be perfect but some times you gotta wonder if they fuck it up on purpose. They talk about wanting to make the classes have their ideantities, but they are literally stripping warriors of theirs little by little, just to put in alacrity and quickness in the middle of it. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN HAVE a warrior with those builds when you have literally at least 3 other classes/elite specs that can do it 3x better than you ? Is it something personal against warrior ?
could you please share your build? I've been tryin to use the snowcrow build for power Berserker but cannot get close to 40k with food&utility (don't have all full ascendant yet and infusions, Is that the problem?). also, what is weapon stow? I saw someone in the comments writing about it and have no idea what that means and google didn't help me.
1. weapon stow is a keybind you can assign in the options which lets you stow your weapon to cancel skills early (some skills have an "aftercast animation" which is an animation that still plays after the damage has been done already. this leftover aftercast does no damage anymore though so its good to cancel it early to proceed with other skills. However, power dps berserker does not need weapon stows anymore and has none in the benchmarks anymore (same for the bench on snowscrows.com) 2. make sure to get ascended weapons and trinkets asap in that order, theyll give you the biggest damage increase, then armor, then infusions if youre not broke and have ambitions 3. usually, a persons personal skill level is the limiting factor when it comes to reaching benchmarks. with this build, chances are youre either not using the correct skill order and/or youre just too slow in execution 4. the latest updated benchmark is shown on snowcrows.com/builds/raids/warrior/power-berserker with the bench from linsi: th-cam.com/video/nI-Y6GsZvUQ/w-d-xo.html i didnt care to grind weapon strength rng just to "beat" someone else with the same rotation, i got better things to do, but you should definitely copy that build and rotation if you have further questions regarding any class, i suggest you join the public snowcrows discord. you can find an invitation link on www.snowcrows.com if you scroll down to the very bottom of the page. then navigate to the warrior class channel and check the pins there. that is also the place where you can ask any further question about warrior and share arcdps logs of your own and ask where you can still improve

all are good in their own right and benches are quite high across the board choose hammer spellbreaker for the easiest spec bladesworn is best at burst dps berserker is sometimes a bit tricky, you dont want to lose berserk at bad times but when played well it can easily keep up with the rest and sometimes even outshine them, it does have the strongest heal across all of them making it rasier to keep writs and scholar buff up all of them have their strengths and weaknesses but in the end choose whichever you like more
I hate the new primal burst animation for greatsword, spinning around was one of my favorite attacks on berserker and they turned it into 1 dumbass spin
I don’t understand why i get only 25k dps..have complete ascended berserker set with amulet on assassin and rune of the scholar..yet only 24/25k..where could the mistake be? Power-2,635, Ferocity-1,633, Precision-1953..still only 25k

@@Baseraver Elaborate, how is this build strong in comparison to spellbreaker or bladesworn? Spellbreaker alone has even more dmg, 3x more sustain, boon removal and so many Knockdowns / stagger breaks. While power zerk is only dmg and it fails even at that.
@@Alex-sm6pv ok so lets assume casual teams yes? pugs, normal statics writ and scholar uptime are usually better on power berserker if you play it right due to blood reckoning, it can easily beat any other warrior spec on fights like VG, gorse or sabetha it comes with destruction of the empowered giving you an extra multiplicative damage boost for fights like qadim 1, qadim 2, adina it comes with the opportunity to replace wild blow with signet of fury for fights with short phases below ~28s with a stronger opener than shown here due to the stat boost of fury signets active effect, if played right yes, it is pure dmg plus some cc, but some roles in a team require only that so wheres the problem take for example, gw2wingman twin largos, the highest warrior spec on that fight was power berserker, beating both spb and bsw in the may 2023 balance patch when it did similar dps compared to this version For very coordinated record groups, the situation is of course different and there many more factors to consider, every warrior spec will find good use there depending on the fight you want to optimize, if you choose to get a record with warrior specs to begin with
@@Baseraver that's debatable. Build sites tend to favor GF, but most players will run FG. Whirling Axe will get you to 25 stacks of might in a matter of seconds with FG. I even run Brave Stride instead of Peak Performance. That 5% additive damage makes no difference while not getting stunned when using Headbutt is far more valuable. In the end it's the same build anyway.
@@dukefx32 - performing headbutt + outrage correctly is literally like not getting stunned, making brave stride almost useless for this purpose - self might is generated with axe f1, the extra might from FG is not needed provided you have a working boon support backbone - 20% GS skill recharge doesnt help you at all - FG stats are much weaker than stats provided by GF - same bench rotation with FG: 1st pull 39.7k - average bench with GF: 41.7k do with that info what you want
@@Baseraver I'm not trying to be rude here, but you seem to be living in a perfect world where you are in berserk mode at all times, always have something to hit, never get CC'd and Outrage is always on your utility bar. On top of that you can always time it right never using Outrage too soon or too late, it's also never on cooldown because you used it for a stun break instead of lying on the ground for 3 seconds. Brave Stride also works with WS, Rush, and Eviscerate helping you keep on going instead of being incapacitated and not doing damage. Nobody cares about the 20% CD reduction, GS is nothing but a mobility weapon these days because its DPS sucks and it's a slow weapon, it's the might generation that's gonna help because there is no ICD and axe is spammy as hell. FG stats are ~20% critical damage (that is a mere 1.07% increase in damage with my current stats, according to your 41.7k/39.7k as well). Having *reliable* 25 stacks of might is far more beneficial, even more so if you switch to MMR for a little sustain when needed (solo or crappy squad). Hitting a golem =/= actual gameplay. This game really needs a golem that fights back, CC's, teleports around, spams conditions and goes invulnerable for several seconds every now and then. Maybe we'd get some useful numbers for a change.
new arc divider feels so shit broo even if the dps is great the animation before was too good with the three spins now it feels so underwhelming. Wonder why they changed it
I hope to god they revert Arc Divider to what it was before June at least in PvE. The DPS might be solid here but it still just feels incredibly unsatisfying compared to before.
Weapon stow in the rotation is garbage in my opinion. At least they should keep that particular fix.
Now that Relics are in the game can't wait to see what is the new Dps standard. And which relic to pick from.
most likely thief relic and dragonhunter rune (not sure yet if scholar rune is worth more, but dragnhunter seemed slightly better on initial testing)
edit: nevermind, it seems like scholar wins
it got nerfed hard. it did 50k+ before that. the buildwebsites just had the wrong trait selected in discipline 3

What is strongest build for warrior right now? This one or bladesworn or spellbreaker?
all are good in their own right and benches are quite high across the board
choose hammer spellbreaker for the easiest spec
bladesworn is best at burst dps
berserker is sometimes a bit tricky, you dont want to lose berserk at bad times but when played well it can easily keep up with the rest and sometimes even outshine them, it does have the strongest heal across all of them making it rasier to keep writs and scholar buff up
all of them have their strengths and weaknesses but in the end choose whichever you like more

Can you still weapon stow with the reworked arc divider ? Is it worth it ?
no, if you stow the animation finishes before your character stows the weapon, gaining nothing
@@BaseraverSo basically the rotation now needs no stowing and just speed? I tried it and got 41k5 so I'm guessing it's just a speed test
@@JP-wq1pr easier than ever
Hi, is it still meta build? I see that it is not recommended on the snow crows website right now
No its dogshit build. It offers same or worse damage compared to other builds, with virtually almost no sustain at all.
its pretty strong yes
