how much EXACTLY adrenaline am i gaining?!?

Different skills do different things Balt spirit gives energy and adrenaline(depending on smiting which isnt usauly over 2 if your a war but like 8 smiting if your a monk in the underworld) but its mostly used by paladins to solo the guild lord. Beserker Stance gives like 2 adrenaline a hit its a very good adrenaline builder but not a very good speed attack boost seeing it ends when you use a skill. But yeah you have a good point but its not a very good idea IMO. But it would be good for after adrenaline spiking you could do like back to back Eviscerates.

it doesnt have to be small numbers on skill bar. make it look like a normal recharging skill when you see EXACTLY when can you use it again. or make a function that is like on a zealots mode, numbers flying around, and foe those who find it "too distracting" make it "removable"

as i mentioned i dont find the increasing blinking of the skill clear enouth to rely on

1- im not a wammo and i wasnt droped on my head as a baby

2- i couldnt care less about absorbtion nurf because i deleted the warior about a mounth ago

3- i want this to see how much adrenaline im getting when: using a 55 monk, using a ranger/W.

and NO in UW in more concentrated on waching after Dying nitmares and PS then count how many times i hit that poor last ataaxe. and no im not new to UW and i was ok so far but that would be very helpful to me to see how much im getting at each level of smiting prayers

as i mentioned, this came to my attention after playing warior for sometime, and yes its strange that we cant see the count of it.

Done dio. It allready is this way. You can exactly see when a skill is charged and when it is not yet ready.


No need for your sarcasm here. Just a quick glimpse what you're actually asking for as it gets really close.



Each hit YOU make gives 25 Adrenaline. Every % of your life you lose gives you 1 Adrenaline. If you're tanking, your fricking screen will be flooded with numbers, just as in the example above (made by using Ancestors Visage on an average mobsize). You're really trying to tell me you could process this information whereas you simply can't count your strikes? Come on, be serious and don't deny logic.

This idea is simply very bad and useless. The gain from it is null, it would require quite an amount of rewriting the GUI plus you would have to force it upon every class out there. They gain adrenaline too even though they don't use it.

Guys... its not that hard to charge up and know how much adrenaline you have...

Any attack charges one Adrenaline point, so just count how many times you batted your opponent, or just wait till your Adrenal Skill is fully light...I dont see why people have problems with something like this.

And Maria, Adrenal Skills are independent as in once you use one adrenal skill/attack, it only takes one adrenal point from the other skill/attack, it doesnt drain it completely.

this would be useless imo.. learn how to play

exactly my point
What 'strategy' could you possibly use? And by the way, have you even played warrior? Just go and test it yourself... executioners = 200pts(adrenaline) when you use that you lose 25 points = 175pts on the rest of your adrenal skills (but you will gain 25 points if executioners hits), disrupting chop = 150pts.. so even if you hit or miss, you will be able to use dis. chop on your next attack - it wouldve taken you less than a minute to test this.

Yes they are independant, but when you use an adrenal skill you lose 25pts of adrenaline and the skill you used is reset... i.e. the adrenaline needed for that skill is reset to 0.

to the guy below.. have a cry

kthx.

If you aren't going to contribute something useful then don't post anything at all. Comments like yours often start arguments that divert the original topic.

That was a good post that you are talking about.

Seriously I have never complained or had trouble with the warrior class as a "kid" in gw, when I first played this game. The information from the warrior trainers was sufficent.

I don't know how you could complain this is arguably the easiest class to play. Warrior come on! you swing a weapon and use adrenaline/enegy combos.

Why all the numbers? no need once you learn how to play a warrior (shouldn't take more than a week at max, hopefully an hour average) you will realize wow this is easy, why would I want anything to aide me in adrenaline?

/not signed...the little skill lighting up is enough info for me (even if i don't feel like counting)

but a way that could be used to track adrenaline - have a thin bar around the skill, so it doesn't clutter things up, and once the the bar comes all the way around, skill = charged

Regular hit gives you 20 adrenaline.
Skills that say "you gain X strikes of adrenaline" give you 25 adrenaline per strike. (4 strikes = 100 adrenaline)
Attack skills that require adrenaline don't actually require as much as they say. Check
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/adrenaline
for actual costs.

This would not work as each adrin skill has its own independant adrin zone. for example you have Final Thrust, Gash, and Server artery. When you use Sever artery you lose one strike of Adrin from Final THrust and Gash until you land with an attack (sever if it hits or your next sucessful hit), Gash would do the same thing, Where as Final thrust would make you lose all adrin saved up currently. Each and every adrin skill on your bar has its own independant gauage so to speak.

What I am saying is you would need one of those for EACH individual Adrin skill which would be cluttered and the way you suggest it would have to make the devs to do a major over haul on the warrior adrin line as a whole.

The suggestion is still interesting, but it would make things very cluttered to al lot it to work.

The problem with tracking adrenaline is when you're using adrenal skills as they recharge. Each adrenal skill is on a different level, and they all become more and more scrambled as you use adrenal skill after adrenal skill.

Saying it's just a matter of counting hits is oversimplifying it significantly, particularly when you start looking at the fractional values, though those usually don't play too much into it.


As to the suggestion-
As has been pointed out, the single bar and the values popping up above your character are both not good ideas.

But independant trackers on each skill, if implemented in a clean, simple, easy to read way is something I wouldn't mind.

It doesn't hurt anyone, as anyone that doesn't need it, well, doesn't have to look at it. And those it helps, it helps.


As to the necessity-
Despite supporting the concept, I find the necessity to be very low. Generally, you've got 2 situations you're using adrenal attacks with:

1) Spamming them as they charge to output maximum damage. (Occasionally, when they combo, you'll save one until the other half charges, but that's another story)
2) Saving them until they're all charged and unleashing a devastating adrenal attack chain.

Of course, which mode you're on depends on the mode of play, and may switch at any time. But the point is, with either way, it doesn't matter what the current adrenal status is. In the first, you're just spamming them as they light up. In the second, you've got to wait until all of them are lit.

The only time I've ever needed to consider what the current level of adrenaline on an adrenal skill is was during warrior farming, when I had to keep track of Bonetti's, letting it charge up each time fully.


So, I don't feel that it is a needed feature, and I don't agree with the initial ideas presented... But I will /sign on a non-intrusive implementation, as it doesn't bother me if other people benefit, no matter how minutely.

rofl whos whamo build is that?

I think they should have the little adrenal sign right above the energy bar you know what im saying? like when u see the description of an adrenal skill it says how much strikes of adrenaline u need then theres some odd picture next to it?
i say put the number of strikes u have right above ur energy but make it tiny.
hard to explain so i hope u understand.

Almas is right, adrenaline is gained in each skill independantly every time you hit. The weapons rate of attack determines how much adrenaline you gain per attack, and that amount of adrenaline is gained seperately in each adrenaline skill in your bar. When you use an adrenaline skill, all other adrenaline skills lose 1 point of adrenaline, so if you build up 7 adrenaline, the 4 adreanline and 7 adrenaline skill will be available, by using the 4 adrenailine skill you lose one on all other skills, so the 7 adrenaline skill will need to gain one more point to be used.

I don't know if you can store amounts higher than what the skill cost to ensure it's use right away, and I don't know if you gain the adrenaline lost using a skill back if that skill hits, but the basic function is that Adrenaline skills charge seperately, making a bar deficient. Each skill brightens as they gain the adrenaline neccessary to activate, that is really all you need, since adrenaline can be gained in fractions, you cannot gauge it in actual points of adrenaline, and having mini indicators on each of these skills is not really improving anything.

It could come in handy for the second scenario when trying to co-ordinate an adrenal spike with another warrior, as if they are further away from the target you could start the countdown when you know you only need to hit a target once more.
