Just finished publishing all the footage from BWE3 and wanted to share it with you guys.

Matale 4 - Hammer



Structured PvP using an offensive Hammer/Mace build. Overall I really like the style of this setup and the control it offers you. The damage is pretty low and I could go as far as saying that it needs perhaps a 25%-50% increase. I feel that stuns should be a little more rewarding than 50% dmg increase since they're pretty difficult to land and short and I'm sure that at higher level it'll only get worse. At some point in the video I have as many as 25 stacks of might on me and unless you look at my buffs you couldn't tell based of my dmg.


Matale 5 - Rifle



Structured PvP using a glass cannon rifle build. I found that as ranged you can get away easier with being squishy so I tried to go all in for damage. Generally I felt that I had to be really sneaky in order to be very productive and I enjoyed that aspect a lot.


Matale 6 - Bow



I play a Crit Bow Sylvari Warrior with an Axe and Warhorn as my second weapon set for quick getaways in SPVP. The Bow is probably one of the more difficult weapons to play with as a warrior because you always have to predict where your opponents will position themselves next which at first is pretty challenging but it gets easier and actually really fun with time. The damage is also kind of low considering the big amount of work you have to do. I played with 2 utility skills that buffed my dmg and an elite in almost all my footage and my numbers were not that big considering I generally had 13+ stacks of might and a really high crit chance.

Don't forget to like/subscribe if you enjoyed my videos.
Thanks for watching and see you when the game goes live!

I liked the bow video, I have been looking for a high quality recording of it.

It answered my question on whether you can hit a single target with all three arrows and stack the fire for 6 seconds.  You can apparently do that.  

That would be 3328 fire damage, plus whatever damage the arrows do in direct damage, plus 3 chances to proc your bleeds.  An incredibly strong attack to have a 6 second cooldown.  I'm definitely going to look at using it in my sword condition build.

I think an attack chain like, flurry - weapon switch -pin down - combustive shot - fan of fire would do a ton of damage.

I'm thinking about trying out a build where I use both the bow and the rifle. Both weapons have some strong attacks that once they go on CD you're left for a few seconds (5-6) just using your main attack which would be a prime time to switch to your other weapon set and use those main attacks and then go back and forth. In addition, both weapons do some condition damage and direct damage so they're also pretty similar in damage type, meaning that gearing for both should be very similar. They also compliment each other pretty well as far as skill #5 goes and the utility skills should benefit both just the same. Having played both I realized just how similar they are.

Would have been so nice if you didn't used extra music for the vids. Cannot watch it because of copyright issues.

Really sorry about that. In the future I'll make sure to release a music and no-music version of each video. The only country that seems to be blocked in all my videos is Germany for some reason.

It's not all videos, I could watch the longbow vid in the old version, but not the others. Depends on the music. We seem to have a very active copyright Inet big brother here.
