Yes, last I checked there is a short CD for switching weapons.

Which can be reduced through traits, at least in the Warrior traits it can.

Yeah me too, but i'm not sure. I have a vague memory of a 10 sec cooldown and I don't know where I saw that.

I'm a little bit worried because 10 sec is a lot. I was hoping for something like 3 sec

Oh ok thanks, I need to read more on traits.

edit: you're right, it's in the discipline tree.

Looks like edge reopened this one.
One thing really appeals to me about a GW2 warrior, is the ability to play as ranged. Charr Warrior with a rifle is what I'll be.
Also the big hammer looks cool too.

You stole my main weapon! Jk jk :P I love the Rifle Warrior, and the dual 1h Axes just always looks like fun.



I also love the idea of a Charr Warrior. It reminds me of all my old Wemic characters from D&D 2E, as well as my newer Weaponmaster from D&D 4E.

I tried to google it and got conflicting answers, one person said 5 seconds, but the next person said 10 seconds so idk.

I also just read there's also a rune that any profession can use that reduces the cd by 1 second.

Alternatively, you could look on youtube for a video from the press beta, and see if you can find anyone switching weapons and simply trying to see if you can count/see how long the cd is

It's too much work for me Can you do it pleeeease! hehe joke

Bah anyway, I just hope we will not be locked with the same weapon for too long. It can kill the Warrior gameplay since almost everything is based on your weapons.
If it's truly 10 sec, I will definitely put points in the discipline tree.

I doubt it. I think it's 3 seconds, 5 max.

Unless the default is different per profession then it is 10 seconds. http://youtu.be/ca2qc9o842U?t=1m30s

Necro video I just found showed it being 10 seconds too.

Something else I just learned that I think is really cool is..."There are no global cooldowns in this game, everything is dictated by animation timers."

You're right, I counted 10 sec

Maybe 10 sec is not so bad, but I still want to be a dodging-whirlwind-missile launcher Warrior

yeah this is a really awesome feature. GW1 worked like that too.

Yeah it's cool, but I think the only difference is that we don't see the little casting bar like in wow. It's the same principle. For example, Aimed Shot on a hunter takes longer than Arcane shot. One good thing is that the animations are awesome in GW2.

Does anybody know what it means when it says "Improves Strength" on the utility skill banner of strength? Is it just like another way of saying power or damage?

Idk for sure, but Strength is one of the trait lines for the warrior, and strength increases power and expertise. Power increases your crit damage multiplier and expertise improves the duration of conditions inflicted...so if it means strength as in the strength trait line, it increases that stuff.

Ah that would make sense. I'll take it that way until proven otherwise

Yeah, I need to do more research on which stats increase what.

[Maester]

So guys, new discussion topic, what race do you plan to play your Warrior as?

I'm going to play as a Charr since they are just the most well suited IMO.

[Loyrl]

Sylvari Warrior and an Asura Thief.

[Deleted]

Cause Warrior-blood runs through my veins. I hate chicken sh*ts that casts from afar. I want action!

I wanna go like ROAR ROAR FEAR ME I AM A WARRIOR AND I SLICE YOU WITH MY 2 HANDER SWORD !

And not " I'ma firing my lazorz... "

Maybe this one might suffice?

He switches weapons and does some demonstration on skills. As best he's able to.
