    Your speech: like Rikti.


    I wonder how Greatsword mobility compares to Sword/Sword mobility. Greatsword has that whirling-charge thing on a 12 second CD, and an actual charge on a 20 second CD, while Sword/X can "lunge" at target foe every 8 seconds.

    Somebody's gonna have to check how long the range on that lunge is!

    I hope your assumption is accurate, tbh.

    Then again, that's a fairly good ratio... Wonder how many adrenaline-building traits i'm gonna want.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    lunge: classified as "leap"
    assumption: short range. backup: context

    adrenaline: complete hypothetical
    basis: available data
    opinion: assumption: will be higher costs than posted

    When did glytch become a borg?

    Also, dual sword and sword n board work fine for mobility if you don't want greatsword and would prefer to focus on bleeds.

    This thread needs some lifting.

    Can't wait for the beta weekend to start, I really want to test out how well hammer works since I've started to prefer it over greatsword.

    I can't remember what video it was, but I didn't really like the hammer until I saw that video. Probably wont be my main weapon of choice but at least it's back on my list now.

    It was actually the only warrior weapon I didn't like so i'm also gonna be testing it out to see if it's something I want to even consider for builds.

    I'm not likely to test Warrior this particular BWE, I've got Thief and Elementalist stuff to mess with.

    Even though I'd LOVE to see just how fast axes can gain adrenaline.

    I'll be playing around with only the warrior. (Unless I magically end up not liking it)
    I WANT to say that I'll be trying to PvP a bunch, to learn me some mechanics ASAP, but I don't like lying.
    I DOUBT I'll be able to pull myself away from the PvE THIS weekend, maybe the next BWE.

    Excited to try out the warrior this bwe, maybe mix pvp and such in as well, but gonna focus majorly on pve to get the feel of the raw power that is the Warrior class.

    http://gw2.luna-atra.fr/skills_tool/...0fe1f41l1u2b2e Here's a pvp hammer build I made.

  12. #212
    I'm wondering whether I should go hammer/greatsword or sword+shield. I'll test it out in the beta and see which I prefer, but what are your thoughts?

    Hammer strikes me as a PvP weapon of choice mainly (See: Mace Spec in WoW before they took out the stun proc from it). Knockdowns and stuns galore. I'll definitely be trying a hammer warrior in WvW.

    You're operating under the assumption that you won't need knockdowns and stuns in PvE. Might want to dispel that mindset!

    Hmmm, this IS true. Especially with the focus on mitigating damage through abilities such as dodging. Weapon of choice for larger, more elite mobs then as well? Provided the stun and/or knockdown works on them as well.

    You pretty much always have a maxed adrenaline bar so the passive is naff to be honest. The buffs you get from banner aswell bar Swiftness which seems to be up 90% of the time anyway. The revives it gives and stability outweigh by far in my opinion, wouldn't go PvPing without it.

    Well with running hammer/greatsword, you now have both control and mobility. If you went sword/board you'd lose the offense you get from the greatsword, but gain more defensive capabilities.

    I would consider the weapon focused on survivability, and controlling the enemy, as opposed to a weapon that's focused entirely on damage.

    Hammer is the kinda weapon you wanna pick if you want to focus on shutting them down. If you prefer really tearing an enemy to shreds with big numbers, though, Greatsword may be better, not to mention the higher mobility.

    We'll have to see honestly. The current tooltips on luna atra show the hammer abilities deal more damage, but it might not be accurate.

    You're probably right now that I look at the banner better. I also wasn't sure how fast adrenaline generated.

    I been thinking 25 Strength/15 Arms/30 Discipline is the way to go with a dual axe build. Emphasis on the burst skills and neutralizing adrenal gains/losses.
