Theres been an influx of bad warriors going around recently primarily down to one skill: Defy freaking Pain.

Makes bad warriors think they're good.

Over local chat halfway through a AB today I heard "OMG! KURZICKS YOU SUCK! TOOK 7 OF YOU TO KILL ME!" I hadnt even seen the guy but I replied with..

"Let me guess, defy pain?"

Turns out he was running:
[Defy Pain][Endure Pain][Dolyak Signet][Vital Boon][Signet Of Pious Light][Healing Signet][Galrath's Slash][Power Attack][Sprint]

I was ashamed to be fighting alongside him.

Warrior is a noob magnet in almost every ORPG. Bad players often mistake the Warriors ability to stay alive and dish out damage longer then the other classes for personal skill.

How about four worst? I swear this was not set up in any way, these four players joined a pug a guildy and I were (most unfortunately) putting together earlier today.

*Edit, got a 5th later on.



Good lord I can't believe flare tank still seems like a good idea.

I havent met a better build after i saw the sin with flesh golem and Bone Fiends. The sin even took care of its minions with blood of the master.
The ranger with mark of rodgort and Meteor Shower came a long way but the sin was still the best.

Not really, the Paladin-type classes are though, and that's basically what W/Mo's derived from. Healing Breeze doesn't go as far as it used to, so they've replaced it with more tanking shit.

More like they mistake other players' stupidity for skill, mistake kiting for deathly fear, mistake 1v1 performance for usefulness, and have pretty selective memory when it comes to 1v1 performance anyway.

Touchers, rofl and yes at the end, the ele was using ressurect

ROFLMAO, funny stuff, but really, touchers are good if you know how to use them. Get a guildy team of 1337 pvp'ers and your in for lots of laughs.

Here is another video, we did. Only one person on our team died in the AB. If you watch closely, the Signet of Judgement did 15 damage

Touchers are old school, they were good back then when offensive damage was still civilized, right now it is outclassed by better alternatives. Touchers tend to do quite OK in ab's though, they have speed and survivability, both are pretty important.

That's why they should buff the mesmer shrine. It's too much of a joke to capture. They should switch their elites from Lyssa's Aura to Visions of Regret.

It's a Nightfall skill. AB NPC's can only use Faction or Core skills. The best elite they got from factions is Psychic Instability or Power Leech but NPC's randomly cast it on a foe (Like backfire)

/Nerf Ele shrine
/Buff mesmer shrine

Got another video, lol, some people on this thread may see their names on credits at the end. The very first team we fought I think was a spike team that used Fragility with a trapper, condition mesmer, Virulence necro MM, but failed

Seriously, give NPC mesmers Diversion or CoF and rangers DShot. Failcats deserve to fail.

If fail cats deserve to fail the 50% of AB people would be gone. CoF=Cathedral of Flames. lol, I agree cry of frustration should be on their bar. Diversion is useless in AB, that's why touchers are so great there, no one carries it because it is not good in AB. "Can't Touch This" Fails, even on 1vs1. At least give rangers Troll Urgent and mesmers and good survivability skill. The only ones with a self heal are Monks and warriors.... thats it. No rits, necros, rangers, ele's (I think, or it is barely noticeable), mesmer. 2/5 AB NPC's don't have a self heal

Diversion really isn't useless. They have a skill shut down for a while and that skill could be anything, and also a key part of the bar. Anyway, I do agree the shrines need a self-heal. They'll still burn under my Incendiary Arrows.

Only elite elementalists have a self heal (AoR), but all necros do (PB). That's why you have to be observant as a monk when pulling the veil from a melee toon, you'll want to get Faintheartedness, not Parasitic Bond.

Also, Diversion is right there with DShot in terms of utility, they're both made of awesome.

The rangers already have new and improved pin down, awesome for lols when you can lure overzealous enemies to the shrine. The mesmers are weaksauce indeed.
