I liked the part where Daring was fun to use but not strong enough to be useful. So instead of making it slightly stronger they completely gutted it and slapped the band-aid known as alacrity on it. Thanks A-Net, why would I want a fun playstyle when I could just become a literal banner instead.
"Remember to be on a complete flat urban road when using it" I'm dying :'DDD I also love when DT2 casts in place, because a worse version of DT1 is what I was really looking for, Anet.
I like bladesworn changes in the last patch but it still has a lot of problems. At least its more usable in pve where you can pull off some sweet hits. Maybe in another year they might get the spec from alpha phase.
Was super weirded out with the new changes, but at least now you don't just bash your gunsaber abilities. Also, the extra 900 range is pretty nice since your DPS doesn't drop as drastically in phases where you have to be a bit at range. Going in the right direction!
From the video and comments I have to concur. Really does seem like it was "omg so cool meme" first before mechanics. I'm no FF / Anime fan, so this spec style-wise fell flat on me, but settings wise I guess I could see it fit. However, instead of letting my initial bias reign supreme I decided to try it. As my non-expert mainly-PvE opinion goes, it's an ok Spec. Allows solo-nerds like me to get in a few back-to-back six digit bursts every once in a while and keeps enough sustain to fight some open-world champions. Good balance between offense/defense. But as you've mentioned yourself in other videos, I'd prefer more "warrior" in my warrior. What feels funky to me is how this spec competes with both the other two. Zerker seems like the obvious DPS dealer and SpellBreaker should probably be the one focused on defiance breaking and countering spells, but ironically big burst and defiance meter destruction is also main idea of BladeSworn. Idk what's going on there. Keep them opinions and ideas comin Cap'n.
Lol Ive been playing pvp for the last 3-4 months and I dont remember seeing someone winning a game as bladesworn so I guess after Arenanet add the next round of microtransactions they will start working on the spec ;)
@@captaincrapface7337 When are they going to nerf bow condition core guardian, willbender and dragonhunter. I'm at a point that I'm going to delete the game and never play again. I'm a thief main and I feel totally useless playing against 2-3 guardians every single game. Either never or after the next next round of microtransactions
Electric Fence is really good for it's synergy with leg specialist and harden armor. 43% less damage with protection from healing and light aura from Fence is nice. Electric Fence does set up a combo on both gunsaber and whatever other weapon set you have due to the immobilize. Always good to see your videos man :j funny every time
Yes, synergy is there but in my opinion it isn't what justyfy's skills existence. You can cover yourself while charging DT, cover revives, split teamfights, clown on ranged pressure and straight up win 1v1s against Deadeyes/Rangers on their own preffered range. Projectle denial is kind off OP :)
@@captaincrapface7337 It immobs thieves that steal on you too if you position correctly in the fence ^^ Maybe the utility would be better as something else, but the dopamine I get when 95% of people just run into it to receive a full Dragons Roar makes me happy.

@@SomeGuy-uc2pg i play more with rifle than pistol, becouse pistol feels underwhealming. So my expierience with Electic Fence (and earlier Bulletproof Barrier) mostly contains instances of Rangers pulling their hair out. Preety much warrior's only deployable utility. Sucks there isn’t more skills like that in warrior's arsenal.
@@captaincrapface7337 As a Dual Dagger Condi Ranger I laugh at projectile denial. I am also a Bladesworn fan tho and it still has a long way to go to be a consistently safe pick in PvP or WvW.
I disagree to a certain extent bladesworn is just mechanically bad in comparison to other warrior options in pvp. all in all bladesworn is very fine tuned drops nukes in open world and deletes fractals, it especially breaks defiance bars with unyielding dragon. now the problem with bladesworn in my eyes lack of versatility, the weapon choice for bladesworns is very limited you either bring axe pistol or rifle (and rifle really needs a rework it feels way to clunky compared to other rifle users) because the other options don't synergize with the ammo mechanic and/or are worse in comparison to the previous options. for example: mace too slow bad defensive option; sword is a butter knife with movement; all off hands besides pistol is anti synergy; bow you might has well be snorting mustard; hammer is a bad spellbreaker cosplay; and greatsword is the third best option. but the weirdly good thing about bladesworn is that you can get different options of support skills without losing anything both shouts and banners are good, stances, you might as well add wasabi to the bow mustard and shove up the urethra that's how painfully bad they are.
In some placed you are overly critical, but mostly you are objectively correct. Ill repeat what i said in the video. "Anet should give him more attention in upcoming months." Few changes to traits and perchaps one or two weapon tweaks, and we get an acceptably functioning speck.
yeah it sucks by design. it needs basic shit like evade on DS: boost, unblockable, stun and unblindable by default on DS: force and better tracking on DS: reach. IMO they need to rework unyielding or just remove it entirely. all the tiers need reworking. master tier should be changing the gunsaber. grandmaster should be changing all ur slashes. like maybe unyielding becomes your slashes deal like 0 physical damage but stack like 30 burn, thus enabling some kinda condi BS build. daring dragon can gain some kind of stacking damage increase for every slash you cast in succession that hits on top of what it already does, and immortal dragon could be some kind of boonstrip + healing slash. there's so much potential but theyre not rly thinking

Gave me a good chuckle as always. That gun Bladesworn build looks swole, will try it out soon

Good news for you:
Next balance patch is planned to be may this year. There is a slight possibility we won't have to wait till next year.

Great class review,

TBH Bladesworn got nerfed like three patches in a row XD

Perhaps, they will fix Berserker after 10 years..

❤️ 👌

all in all bladesworn is very fine tuned drops nukes in open world and deletes fractals, it especially breaks defiance bars with unyielding dragon.
now the problem with bladesworn in my eyes lack of versatility, the weapon choice for bladesworns is very limited you either bring axe pistol or rifle (and rifle really needs a rework it feels way to clunky compared to other rifle users) because the other options don't synergize with the ammo mechanic and/or are worse in comparison to the previous options.
for example:
mace too slow bad defensive option;
sword is a butter knife with movement;
all off hands besides pistol is anti synergy;
bow you might has well be snorting mustard;
hammer is a bad spellbreaker cosplay;
and greatsword is the third best option.
but the weirdly good thing about bladesworn is that you can get different options of support skills without losing anything both shouts and banners are good, stances, you might as well add wasabi to the bow mustard and shove up the urethra that's how painfully bad they are.
In some placed you are overly critical, but mostly you are objectively correct.

Few changes to traits and perchaps one or two weapon tweaks, and we get an acceptably functioning speck.
imo the problem is, that it feels so uncomfortable and clunky to play. I like classes which you can fluently play, but bladesworn doesn't feel like it
Bit of a dense irony that class resource of a speck with clunkiest mechanic is litteraly called "flow".

I actually like the idea of changing the slashes to condi burn that is a good idea.
weeb.
Never watched an anime from start to finish. Completely agree.
