So your only argument to say that warriors are good in duels is Hambow. Sadly hambow is not balanced and will get nerfed what is left is terrible specs. The only way to win is pop all stances and hopefully your burst will land without getting blinded or without your enemy porting away. Not to mention that poison literaly makes Healing sig useless.

A warrior is like a PvE mob, hits slowly, hits hard,Has alot of HP, thats about it

“The only way to win”….wait what? I thought we’re talking about warriors? So you think it’ll help to blind or poison a warrior who pops all of his stances…..aright, i don’t know if you’ve ever heard of berzerkers stance. Maybe you just don’t know the fact that blindness and poison are actually “conditions”?

Even without berzerker stance a warrior can use Lyssa and/or remove up to 3 conditions every 7 seconds!

Warriors are bad in duels….

Are you kidding me?

Yea that’s what I’m saying you must pop all stances to land your burst. Which part you don’t understand? Without stances a warrior is a free kill unless you go full condition cheese. And to remove those conditions you need to land your burst, good luck with that unless you’re using longbow.

Warrior works well against bads , everybody knows what. Exactly like a mob in PvE, if you fail to dodge it will nearly one shot you but dodging is very easy due to hugely telegraphed attacks.

I’m pretty sure warriors are never a free kill. Even on my mesmer (though I do refuse to run PU because it disgusts me) I still have to at least be thoughtful and time my skills well even if the warrior plays like an infant, which oddly enough quite a few of them do. For all they seem to yell about the dodge key, quite a few of them forget its existence entirely. It’s almost like they want to be able to facetank all damage and still win. Not to mention that you do have plenty of active defenses if you use them.

I wonder…is there any warrior spec that specifically doesn’t use Healing Signet?

Well, against bad players
Warriors are great in duels.

Against players that have a clue
It gets significantly harder for a warrior to be successful with a hambow setup

There is a reason why only hotjoin hero’s and WvW players use hambow

are you high?
warriors have such an incredibly low risk/high reward ratio that if you can’t win duels with one you should probably stick to pve XD

when i play my obscenely OP warrior i like to stand there and dance while other classes attempt to break through the insane passive health regen.

1. you never played a warrior.
2. the regen is only good until someone puts poison on you(which is more then fair since it reduces the regain/healing by 33%, thats a really hard counter).
3. the moment you have poison on you you can get burned down.

1. i play different war specs alot, i play adrenal healing+hammer only when i want to prove a point about how OP they are, and in those circumstances unless they’re a glass cannon or can perma poison, you can pretty much stand there and dance for awhile before killing them with afew hits (i usually crit for 4-6k)

2+3. warrior can get 10 seconds of condition immunity every 60 seconds (16% of the time) + they can remove conditions every 7 seconds.
plus signet of stamina, full condi clear, current lyssa runes, full condi clear.
plus not all classes have poison, what should an ele, mesmer or guardian do?
plus if you do start getting nuked you can pop 6 second damage immunity too,
every 60 seconds.

yes i’ll hand it to you, a really good player can beat a hambow clone,
but in the hands of “regular joe” against other “mere mortals” the build is just ridiculous,
it tanks, it ccs and it deals huge damage. all with absolutely no effort involved.
it should have been balanced long ago but its still here after 6 months.
imho the moment a hambow joins a match, the fun is ruined.

you’re problably right, you should play Elementalist, they have a lot of skills, an incredible variety of builds, massive healing, the highest dmg in the game, a lot of CC and utility skills on top of regular skills and condition removal, the elites are amazing.

Sure you can only use 1 weapon set but you have 20 skills on each so that makes him a LOT better then warrior and if you still lose a duel you can change weapon next time you spawn and own him… some people complain about high cooldowns on skills but imo that just makes Elementalist better because you can get so complex rotations on your opponents they’ll never know how to counter it and if your rotations misses you’ll have a lot more options in other attunements
