It's like having to play a game of chess with only milliseconds to decide your move. And then here I am playing a slow game of checkers rolling my face on the keyboard wondering why I get destroyed so much. 😁
I still remember dueling a core warrior in the little PvP arena and almost winning it.... until his damn throw axe skill crit me for a fat 5.6k. that was a real ok.jpg moment
I'm sharing my thoughts here as a GW2 veteran playing since launch. Playing warrior takes a lot of skill. It's a very punishing class with a huge pay-off, but requires a lot of game knowledge and experience to pull off. Simply button mashing won't get you anywhere, unlike other classes. If you can win with warrior, you can basically win with any other class. If you want to understand how the competitive format works, it is my humble opinion that you master the warrior. Everything else should be icing.
As someone who's just getting back into the game these videos are excellent to watch! Very good explanations, would love just a bit more explanation of the build. For example why axe core warrior over the strength spellbreaker? Does it do certain things better or is it just more enjoyable?
This is probably a really amateur build and it will get rolled against good players but I have way too much fun playing pvp with axe/axe hammer. I put bulls charge and stomp on my specials with the banner ultimate (I exclusively try to use this in group fights where an enemy and ally are down in the same radius) and you end up having 5 cc options with the hammer F1. When you run into a player with only 1 stun break you turn them into a punching bag.
@@Vallun Probably... i mean you still won the game. But it felt like you could do so much more with.. literally any other class in the place of the warrior. No situation was salvaged or developed to your advantage cus of the class. This is how i felt, honestly it doesn't really have to do with you and how you played that game, i don't think you played it bad. quite the opposite, which is exactly why it pisses me off. It has to do how weak warrior feels with the telegraphed and honest skills he has... while all other classes, like the mesmer you fought, have so much "cheese". That's just my personal opinion though.
@@akhsdenlew1861 i agree that i could have done much better on more meta classes, but if i used that argument everywhere i would never explore other stuff, not meant to be an assertion of if the build is good, just showing how its played
My internet is horrible, any of my movement skills only throw me like a meter away after animation lock lol seeing Val fly across the map makes me envious.
Back to GW2 after some years and War being my main, im running this build and thank you for this vid! Learnt a lot from this, is this core build STILL viable? Managed to duel quite a bit earlier but often i get melted, maybe its my playstyle or is this build/role redundant now?
@@Vallun Thanks for the reply, last question, on my build im running Burst Mastery whereas you are running Axe Mastery. Would you recommend Axe over Burst? Or much of a muchness?
This is 5 months old but, Its a setting in the options menu. Show enemy health bars, always. There is another option to have thick health bars for allies. I forget where exactly it is, but it's on the first (Or top tab) in the option menu.
Ty for the video. I play a melee duelist role too so it's good to see how you handle situations that duelists come across quite frequently

Nice Content dude! I just started GW2 but i love the pvp content
Loving these PvP commentaries my guy! It feels like the spiritual successor to WP's Game of the Day!

These commentaries are very informative.

its just another option, str spellbreaker is the optimal build but its harder to play
Oh okay, thank you! 😁
great video with coments usually im dead with so low hp! you have less than20k of live im ding with codnditions all the time!

I'm a new player and I like this kind of fun build. What specialization do you use?

Thank you for your videos mr. Vallun!
awesome video!
Warriors look so good when good players play. The only build that remotely works for me is that support shout build :p
honestly, it didn't look that good in this video.
It looks way better when he plays other classes.
@@akhsdenlew1861 probably because in this match im going vs better players than usual, so its not me carrying 1v9

@@Vallun yea well on that aspect the video was a success so good work on that for sure.
And huge respect for going for non meta builds actually.
Good video. Btw why your voice sound so much like Tarzaned from league

How is the self sustain from a core warrior in small pvps?

@@rojasishere6746 axe mastery increases all your damage not just bursts and gives you more adrenaline, pretty much better always if you use axe
Which race are you play ? Sylvari ?

@@Vallun thank you!
Hello, How do you do to see the health on the top of the enemy even if you don’t target them ?
you can't
This is 5 months old but,

There is another option to have thick health bars for allies.
I forget where exactly it is, but it's on the first (Or top tab) in the option menu.
@@epicfail5473 thank you
I have a question vallun how can I see the animations its to bright for me to be able to see them is there any tips ?
turn down post processing
Would you sometime use 2h hammer for a more CC heavy build?
sometimes yes
@@Vallun Is there a Option for Roaming, too?
@@obstera as hammer? Sure check this out ua-cam.com/video/ZibcCTXt460/v-deo.html&ab_channel=HeyThatWasEasyGW2
@@Vallun No i mean Roaming Warrior in pvp
@@obstera nope
Do you refer to specific players as they/them because you don't know their gener?
Love your videos. They're entertaining and helpful
