I can say that Support core warrior can perform at least up to mid p1 as a main support. It’s not the most common build but it works good enough.

I would said that the ICD is coming to stop Bladesworn take too much advantage. Standard build count 5 movement skills but y can pack even more if you want. If he can get stab and remove inmobilize with movement skills it can become an unstoppable force. so ICD have sense but 5s would be good enough to provide counter play.

POV WvW and Pvp I genuinely like staff. It is a support weapon but with the amount of utility that it have packed can also be used as a defensive weapon set. (Block, CC, unblockeable, mobility and some healing even without healing power) I feel that when they merge skill 3 they should keep the damage of the skill because it feels odd to have no damage at all but that’s my only “ complain” if they improve the pure damage weapons as GS or Axe so they do a comparable damage to other clases and mix it with staff u have a really nice weapon set.

I’ve enjoyed this beta a lot… From PvP/WvW perspective the weapon perform good, great healing, boons and mobility. As a small scale player that ehat you need to support an small group. I’ve loved the staff design and skills (even if 3 pathing and 5 stop by AA had to be addressed) we are on the beta so I would say that I’ve like it and will be great as soon as those 2 issues are resolved. I would say that I’m not a big fan of 3 enemy/ally split… I could live with it. Additionally regeneration it’s not needed on burst if is on AA so different boons based on adrenaline levels would be fun. (Maybe one short stack of stability on 3 bars) for the people that had issues with Adrenaline generation I would suggest them to go Core. I’m using tactics, disciple and defense if full support or arms if hybrid celestial with staff/ sword+wh and adrenaline flow easy. Defense or Arm are great for Adrenaline generation so I’ve found that Core is the option that works best for me. It’s good that finally Core have its own spot to shine in front of Elite xpecs

This is almost the only warrior chance to be played on WvW roaming…. If they keep removing tools soon you will not see any warrior roamers (and we are already not many of us)

I think that wouldn’t be OP but would provide some extra functionality and a reason to go for core instead of other things (1k hp healing on its own can’t compete with xpec mechanics)

Agree on this… having regeneration on the AA you can potentially have that boon permanently so no need for more… however vigor, aegis or even low amount of stability would be great…. maybe even different boon depending on the amount of adrenaline so stability (strongest boon from that list) is stuck for core…. Providing Core with some love.

Double post

I hope that if it’s a rifle, It would be a long range weapon that cans DPS from distance. (Hopefully non proyectile 😂) GS is a 1200 but to do the real spike damage you need to get close. So with dagger, sceptre and GS mid range us already covered.

It’s me or Psychic Riposte on Virtuoso only get the unblockable with dodge but not with bock or evade as before? because that is a big nerf to the trait … it hurt almost as much as Bladesong Rewuiem 😰

Tbh (not trolling) I genuinelly like Virtuoso.... I though that I would not like it on release but after test it I've love it. It add something new to the mesmer capabilities changing the gameplay experience..... Od course It is not perfect.... I think that is good that the reduce the stand by moments if they provide some extra funcionallity in exchange (Blade Renewal & Bladeturn Requiem) but as a concept and playability its fun.

I guess that your build and equipment is not ready for SOLO roam these days.... (...Chrono is still good for group roaming) First of all I would says that if you want to roam solo with core or chrono you will have a hard time....you dont have enough movility / defenses to compete with other roamers. It is posible but you need to outplay your oponent a lot. To have an "easy" roam with mesmer you woul need a Mirage or Virtuoso the two other expasion profesion for mesmer that would allow you to fill the gaps and make your life easier. If you dont want to buy new content you have to options... Stick to Core / Chrono and get tough after many respawns or Change to another class that allow you to roam with Hot xpecs (DareDevil, Druid, Scrapper, or Dragon Hunter would be better solo roamers than Chono or Core Mesmer) See below for a roamer Tier List and some build examples / guides / Demontrations. https://guildjen.com/wvw-roaming-tier-list-2023/ See below one of the few mesmer main roamers still active and using all xpecs even core or chrono.

I would prefer an short or even single hit block than barrier. All the class synergy spine bone to bocks for the dagger generation. Mesmer traits out ofVirtuoso are balanced for clones… Changing from 3 clones to 5 daggers make the general purpose core Mesmer traits insufficient to refill fast and force Virtuoso way to be reliant to generate the extra push on daggers generation within its trait line. To do that you need evades or blocks. That is why I think that barrier doesn’t synergies with the trait line or even the concept of Virtuoso. That’s why a single attack block or evade would synergy better with the class that any amount of barrier.

If they remove the block and dont increase the damage (Scrapper Shredder Gyro vives) or implement other kind of functionallity (like Illusionary Riposte blocking a SINGLE attack a providing some kind of counter attack after.... like Full Counter from SpellBreaker vives but smaller) If they only remove the block and nothing else, the skill becomes a long channeled skill that consume your blades and have no damage while you are stuck in the animation.... .... that will be the never, ever, at all touch button... .... @Cal Cohen.2358 if that is the case, I may even unbind that skill from my keyboard just in case xD

…. Thank you very much for the guides! It’s been really useful for People trying to learn a the class (as I’m doing now 😅) It help me to improve my knowledge and understand the limitation of Sic’em SB but by surprise I’ve got hit by the Rabid Druid and I’m loving it so much that now I can’t progress with the other build 😂 Sad hear that you are leaving… hope see u back soon 👍🏼
