Berserker does offer attack speed increase (ie. dps increase) as well as slight boost in damage (Always Angry/Bloody Roar), but due to the nature of PvP and Warrior's lacking burst damage potential (unless you're going to use Burst skills for 1 hit wonder) it's near-impossible to constantly deal raw damage. Berserker skills aren't that great or useful either because you have to take Healing Signet and 2~3 stances (long cool down :smith:) anyway. Utilizing condition has its limits due to its cool down and limited condition (only applies Bleed/Burn with Sword/Torch). While other elite specs received significant damage and/or tank boost, Berserker received minimal damage boost (considering utility and weapon skills) which makes it worse off than other elite specs in PvP. It can be used, but anything it can do other professions will do way better. Also Warrior's squishy once stances go on cool down.

It's great in PvE though, because PvE is sit still and constantly deal damage.

How many times must I remind you to WASH YOUR HANDS?

I really, really love the Chronomancer. It reminds me of the Echo+Arcane Echo shenanigans from GW1, but with clones and bipping around and awesomeness. I just don't know what the best swap from Sword/Shield is yet. I kind of want to try something dumb like Scepter/Sword just because. You can't complain, I'm giving you continuous 66% skill recharge! :v:

Been seeing increase in Scepter/Shield+GS Mesmers recently, but they were in PvP and using Celestial or probably Viper.

gently caress Stance skills, use Shouts (with the heal + cooldown reduction) plus Wild Blow and cause chaos and heal yourself. It's a really fun way to play.

Berserker using sword/torch + rifle in PvE is lots of fun and does loads of damage.

I really enjoy sword/shield + GS on my Chronomancer. I've tried scepter but I just don't like the scepter skills much.

Is there a way to make leveling fun? It's frustrating that in most MMOs (including this one), leveling is simply too "easy". There's no challenge in face-rolling mobs. What's a way to make this somewhat more challenging?
Level in a WvW-zerg and hit some doors instead. Wont be more challenging and its still boring but at least its faster.

Problem with Shout is that its heal (not that much) and condition removal (Rune of Soldier) become useless in team fights because of so much AoE damage, cc and condition pressure. Even in 1v1 most professions will have no problem killing you off eventually. And you have to take Tactics traits. Berserker Stance and Endure Pain are useful in team fights because they can lift focus off you by forcing enemy to concentrate on other targets instead. I don't like taking stances but there aren't better alternatives.

Sorry, I'm talking about PvE, not PvP. I know Warrior has a lot of weaknesses in PvP.

With my gear in PvE my shouts heal for ~1500 to me and 4 others around me and I spam them constantly. It's not a big heal but it adds up and it's saved my rear end and party members asses on numerous occasions (not to mention the boons and condition removal I get from them too). And yeah I wear Rune of the Soldier on one of my sets of armor.

Uh... Kupo?

Berserker is great and stances are great, but berserker's bullshit isn't as good as tried and true warrior stuff. Healing signet just can't be beat, and shouts or stances are both so good there's no legitimate reason to use the janky berserker skills (other than to look cool), great sword is unbeatable.

Berserker's elite skill is pretty great though, mix it with rifle and you can do some heavy, heavy damage in a short amount of time from a pretty long distance. Especially with shouts and proper speccing, and the trait that gives you reduced recharge on primal bursts, you're basically shooting lasers.

You can get the primal burst recharge to 3.5 seconds, which you will fill the bar on before that time runs out. The longbow burst is particularly nice for condition, especially in PVE, as 15k burn ticks are always pleasant to see pop out of a mob.

THE NEW PVP SEASON IS UPON US!

Eurozone Danse Party (UNTZ) the premiere Goon PvP society, sister guild to GOON, foremost in frat-house roleplay, has put together THREE TEAMS for the new season, to bring glory to Goons everywhere and to compete for the prestige title of "best pvp-video game players" among UNTZ. We are in the process of drafting from the UNTZ roster and our SA community at large.

The team I personally lead has one opening that I'm hoping to source to someone who is currently not a member of UNTZ. This player should posses, grit, determination, experience and an auramancer tempest. This player should also be able to sign on weekdays starting between 8-9PM (TBD, PST) for at least three games daily. If that player is you: send me a PM, or if you don't have plat, send an in-game mail to Germany.

If you'd like a vastly increased chance of being approached for the draft this season, PM me with your account details or send an in-game mail to Germany for a guild invite.
