So I have recently returned to Gw2 I played for a few months at release but I had other things going on and have only just recently returned. I was wondering if I should just roll a warrior to really enjoy all aspects of the game since it seems to be the best at or competitive in every aspect.

What I am hoping for is for people to tell me that it is me just being inexperienced and not everything I post here is correct. But that aside here is my observations so far:

1. Huge damage in PvE possibly not the highest but mixed with their utility and innate toughness they are stacked in every area of pve [constantly seeing posts in LFG asking for warriors]

2. Highest variety of builds from bunker, condi, support, control and dps.

3. They have the highest armor and hp of any class yet they also have access to the most mobility from greatsword, sword and warhorn so you cannot run from them [except stealth focused theives?] or you cannot chase one.

I actually have a lot more like why does their axe auto out dps my ele’s full attunement
switching dps being among them. Is there honestly a downside to playing warrior? Are you just a god among mere mortals?

But most importantly could someone inform me if anet has any intention of addressing it or will this feature patch do anything to balance this? If not then should I just give in and make a warrior.

You can see from this thread that clearly Warrior is not the highest DPS profession no matter how you look at it. That’s a remnant misconception from an age long past.

Also I’m pretty sure this is a poorly disguised Warrior whining thread considering you try to pass off scepter Ele’s spike as somehow lower than Axe auto. Scepter Ele spike one shots people.

for pve dungeons i understand that it is all zerker eles,
but i agree with you that currently warriors just have everything else.
especially on the pvp scene, and unfortunately anet don’t seem to want to balance them (warrior has been like this for 6 months now)
