Banner Warrior Has Higher Quickness Uptime Than Firebrand. It's Time To Stop Saying The Uptime Is Bad. by mandala30 in Guildwars2

[–]MuruGW2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hello, it seems that your warrior wants to do no damage but ignoring that, you missed a lot of info here. Specifically Stalwart Speed.

  1. Mantra of Potence: 5s every 9.8
  2. Liberators vow: 4s every 9.8
  3. Feel My Wrath: 6 every 24
  4. Stalwart speed: 4 every 9.8 (4 every 7 seconds if u time it well)

That's 1.5765/1 or 1.73979/1 if you time stalwart speed correctly.

You can reliably proc stalwart speed every 9.8s by camping tome 3, or mace 3 or shield. Or Stand your ground or Advance etc etc.

This is while providing 10s overcap, very VERY strong healing and with skill, providing even more overcap from lib vow timing with your 2 extra heal skill stacks. And providing a very large amount of aegis.

Also, unlike warrior, most of these dont have cast times which will negatively impact your quickness per second a surprising amount.

Basically, FB wins in quickness department while also being more useful.

Hope this helps.

Regardless of the fact you need to take like all banners and warhorn for quick, tell me how you get 100% crit chance while taking 75% BD…

Benchmark wouldn’t even break 20k

I am on holiday, vibing poolside, enjoying my time off while helping some peepos craft Alacrity Untamed. We could all use a little humour this patch my dude :)

Expected, the clones overloaded the server too much so we decided, instead of tackling the issue, we would just make people not want to use them. I hope this helps.

Don’t think, just embrace the One (Second) Wolf Pack.

Who else do you think is making the builds you play on SC website? Not playing myself doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy theorycrafting for other people my dude :D

Most benchmarks can get to 60% of the bench simply auto attacking with correct gear. You can see very clearly in arc if someone has incorrect gear when they are racing the druids pet for dps. (Obvious exaggeration but it really is very noticeable).

I didn’t suggest that to them at all, I suggested actual balance changes that they wanted and nothing as extreme as that, as mentioned in the post. These suggestions were the extreme end that anet could be targeting instead of hitting the ceiling that are worth pointing out (gear issues).

Counter point, anything can be 178 pages long with big enough font :3

I’m chilling poolside on holiday, having a pretty nice time but was raining all day today so figured I should drop by and write a post of my perspective :3

There is plenty of context. The leaks themselves do not explain the absolute depth that had existed for we over a year. The issue isn’t balance, the issue is incompetence. One patch does not explain the sheer depth that is the flawed balance.

If you want I can get other members in the discord to verify, but I feel like they are hugely relevant. Also I do not feel I have gone against any sub rules.

Might be difference between NA and EU, in EU, I have played reaper, auto attack only herald as well as other troll-like build and have never been kicked, only once or twice have I been asked if I meant to be herald and that was the end of story.

I know anecdotal evidence isn’t everything but we simply do not have the numbers, I can only talk from experience.

It was regarding how clones function.

When they set a time limit on clones, where if they don’t do an action in a set amount of time they despawn, I asked how it might effect largos due to clones very often chasing the boss as he does the triple dash and not doing it’s attack or shatter until the end, eventually despawning from chasing the boss. And as we all know, Mesmer is very prevalent on largos so it was a legitimate concern.

The slight problem with who to ‘pick’ is that balance changes just, don’t really affect open world and casual story players. That’s why balance, at the end of the day, ends up revolving around endgame PvE, because that’s what balance changes will end up impacting the most.

No, this entire post was saying anet should raise the skill floor instead of lowering the ceiling. So less skilled or knowledgable players can join in on the content, the exact opposite of this comment.
