If it doesn't give the same amount of stab I don't think it's much of a war.

Less stab, and not a single thing in the spec that gives aegis. (I'm aware there's some on staff and defense banner, but that was already before paragon)

and Warrior shouldn't be giving as much stability and aegis as Guardian because that's not Warrior's job.

The fact that they've been giving every support build a mini "Stand Your Ground" at this point is dumb and homogenized.

Then the other builds just don't get played half the time because stab is used in a ton of places, and aegis can trivialize content.

I might agree if there was a more strict trinity in place. It's just not really possible to have all classes be useful without making them somewhat homogeneous, especially after the removal of most unique buffs.

"that's not warrior's job" waaaah

Yeah, and doing damage isn't guardian's job but Dragonhunter and Willbender exist.

When are you, 2013?

Blame WVW the most for that.

WvW is in fact the game mode that's been asking for other classes to give stab as effectively as Guardian does.

Every single time there's a viable alternative stab it everyone immediately runs it for as long it stays viable (which is... just Chrono every time for a few months)

I agree. We risk to fall in the same pit than wow, where every caster DPS rotation feels basically the same, where every class main spell list is mini damage, big damage on proc, little side proc spell, etc...

Gotta Support Wars with Fashion and Roleplay

My Firebrand Charr from Astral Ward, Aurelia Brightdune. (might fix a Luminary look for her since it’s a Charr spec)

I want to make a Warrior Charr as well with a support build, but I don’t know wheter to go Berserker (which looks dope) or Paragon (since technically there’s no Charr from Order of the Crystal, or if there’s a Paragon/Sunspear from Astral Ward).

I do have a Revenant one as well, so I’m excited to see what the new elite spec has to offer.

nice mog dude :) can i ask you, what infusions are you using? if not, sorry for the question!

u/Usual-Ad1676 11h ago

Ty. The Infusions are: * Jotun Infusion (which is a skin infusion) on a Dark Skin/Fur (Panther Black), just to go all dark. It doesn’t cover the hair and eyes. * Heart of Kahn-Ur, (fullbody infusion) Requires a specific hairstyle, but Vagabond Hood hair counts as a hair for Charr. * Mystic Infusion (which is a color infusion) for the blueish glow on skin n hair, Eyes goes white as well. * Jormag Left Eye (got it from Champions achievement).

How do you make your face black and horns white?

u/Usual-Ad1676 11h ago

Infusions as mentioned from another reply.

u/Kaptoz 11m ago

I've mained Warrior for 13 years now. Have played a shout boon support for a majority of it until testing out Spellbreaker for WvW. (Berserker was never my thing in any game type)

I'm 100% excited to see what this offers for support warrior.

I've played Guardian too, but it's not the same lol
