Q:

As a warrior, when i jump into WvW and even in Spvp, i like to fight. I like to jump into the fray and get to work on people. I love the skills that the warriors have at their disposal(with the exception of banners but that’s just a personal dislike of pulling a stick out of the sky:P)

My problem is that in all of my builds that i have tried so far, I cant hit anything. I am always blind. Even when I hit something with the intention of interrupting, disrupting, knocking down, etc… my targets, usually all of them, are completely immune. The amount of up-time for stability and immunities on all the players I face off against is insane. I understand that most of the game is designed around team effort and that you should always be a part of a team that has your back as you have theirs. I just haven’t found a way to be supportive to my team with my character in pvp type scenarios for the most part. I keep wondering if it is something I am missing or if I am doing something wrong. I find myself disliking all of my builds and play styles because i feel so useless.

Warriors have some amazingly fun skills. Mace #5 skill, Hammer #4 and #5, Earthshaker, Stomp, Kick, Bulls Charge. These are all fun skills that are basically useless for the most part because for about 90% of every fight I am in whether its WvW or Spvp they have zero effect.

Anyways, onto my question. I guess I have a few separate questions.

How are other warriors countering being eternally blinded?
How are other warriors countering the seemingly infinite up-time of stability and immunity that everyone is running with?

My last question is simply this: Are stability and immunity mechanics truly needed in the game? To me they negate the need for dodge on some classes. So what am I missing? Thanks in advance!

SoS – Ele – Burn Me, Freeze Me, Blind Me, Pound Me — Wait…What?
Warrior – The New Burninator! Strongbad would be so proud!
Guardian – Burn for you, heal for me, block for me and uh…sorry Im all out of gifts.
