GW2 WvW Roaming - Willbender Changes Are So Fun (New Patch) 

having it at the end would allow less counterplay to prevent any instant finishers, having it at the front means you have more counterability to prevent any instant stomps.

@@mizumisa6620 idk how it would allow less counter play since the counter play is simply staying at melee range, you can't instant finish if the skill hits more than 1 person

@@rektyu7035 idk the exact specifications of the skill but you can still use hard cc from range to interupt e.g. poit blank shot. Idk if that's what they had in mind, just an idea.

DE still king tho

Yeah DD and DE are still terminal C, but WB is getting there. Love the damage reduction on courage now.

like when firebrand was dominating everything and the guy that was balancing it had 14k hours on fb

You mean the guy that was fired in 2022? Head of balance since then is an Ele main, hence cele ele cmc and we have catalyst@@reallifeanimegirl

@@Azra386 Wait, I thought Cal mained Guardian?

@@hypnotika no. hes ele.

I see, I haven't tested enough hammer yet but I'm going to try something like this gw2skills.net/editor/?PWwAwyJlJwSZsMVWLW8X9xXA-DWRYVBNMHdf8FSYRQrFQvpga3GYR/zIA-w With new glacial heart, dunno how it will do vs condis, maybe play CoP over wb's break stun, but the heal should be huge, something else I wanna try is core with shouts + reaper relic + glacial heart

@@rektyu7035ooh, thanks!

we can safely assume that they like the class lel

I'd recommand going for the standard power GS one, nothing fancy but it's easier to learn the basics this way, you can swap some runes and stats around if you feel you need more tankiness

He is very easy to kill lol, i killed 99% of all wilbenders with sd core thief, thry can be killed with scraper easy, dragonhunter, reaper with focus , they can be burst with soulbeast...bro stop hiping it

@@ridkwngridken3863 Rektyu is quite literally one of the most mechanically skilled willbenders in the game as it stands now. I'd bet money on the fact that he would beat you every single time.

vindi is fine dw, it still has more use than wb overall if that can console you xD

Vindi with a good rotation is literaly unkillable by wilbender

​@@ridkwngridken3863 willbender is literally unkillable by anyone, because they can just run away. my point originally was that it just feels bad to constantly get hit with nerfs. but for willbender, it's basically a kneejerk reaction at this point to not expect to be able to kill them because they will run away. same with deadeye. same with any ele that is near a portal. there is no knee jerk reaction when seeing a vindicator that they are unkillable

I feel you, day of the patch I got 3 dms of people accusing me of cheating lol

I wouldn't recommand droping RF in pvp, but heaven's palm is fun, and you can definitely play the physical skills now, depending on the match ups

You can play tons of variants with dragon or cele or both, the more cele the easier it is to roam tho

@@rektyu7035 - Thanks, mate. I ended up crafting a Dragon's set. Nasty lil build - not sure these buffs will last too long... Then again, it is Cal.

it's fun to play, RF is still better in most cases, mace/shield is just a better weapon set imo, I don't like GS

@@rektyu7035the elite stomp looks insanely satisfying for sure. I'm guess you're running something other than Ice Relic then?

yeah ice relic is dead, in the video I play relic of nayos cuz the build is a bit tankier, brawler is fine for big damage builds

I haven't tried it in pvp yet, maybe someday

I don't think it did 🧐

@rektyu7035 yeah you cast it on the moa right where you had the note about the healing and burn tick

​@rektyu7035 I take it back you used a virtue to move, gotcha

same relics as before, i'll update the builds, but mostly brawler for bursty builds and nayos/defender for tankier builds

It says 20% on the tooltip so ig not

Heavens palm elite now finishes downed foes if no ones around

you can find the build in the google sheet in the description, it's the boonbender one (I need to update a few builds, nothing huge)

thanks

Builds are in the description, I just replaced utility skills with ones that got patched to test them

it's the Pyre Horns Helm

​@@rektyu7035 sorry i meant the thumbnail

@@Erik1495 ah it's an outfit, Star Sentinel Outfit from black lion chests, it's now in the statuettes

they buffed unused skills to add more build variety, was it needed? yes, was it a major priority? absolutely not, I agree they should balance the broken builds first

yep, same build only the utility skills are different

Boonbender, it's cele's little brother

🕸🕸

it's 2k dmg not 20 ^^

@@rektyu7035 i thought 20k and enemy downed :S

No.

@@rektyu7035:c

Don’t hold your breath. Their solution to everyone complaining about JI was to buff the hell out of Flash Combo to the point where you cannot really justify slotting JI at this point. Biased clown devs.

Ad cus your bad

@@po965 says daredevil main with perma stealth

Nah Core ele only use off hand weps , Git Gud.@@coldwind8327

Tell me you’re so bad in pvp without telling me.

You clicked on a vid just to comment this? 😂😂

@@oroborojr9346 YES

it got nerfed with last patch This relic can now only strike the intended missile targets. Reduced the power coefficient from 1.0 to 0.5 in WvW only.

and i just use it ystd now got patched, sadge@@rektyu7035

bummer. thx @@rektyu7035
