Guild Wars 2

I’m just gonna say this up front, I reaaaaaally don’t like the warrior right now. I mean, I remember half a year ago when the warrior had no condition removal and a bunch of broken stuff. Now, whenever I go into pvp, I always get killed by them!!! It doesn’t matter if I go condition, bunker, zerker, whatever. They just kill me off. With condition, they just block and use cleansing ire a ton….with bunker, they just block invuln block invuln and out bunker, out dps you….and then with zerker, oh gosh, I can’t even do anything!

Now, I’m not trying to point out one particular build here. Basically, any build with a decent amount of toughness, invuln, and mayb some blocks/cleansing ire. I’ve gotten owned from anything to a hammer/bow warrior, to a bow/sword/sword or shield/sword/bow, to a hammer/shield/sword. Most of the time the’re condi, but it doesn’t matter what build they have…if it’s not a zerker stat and they have a ton of toughness, I can’t kill them without assistance. Just saying, warrior is OP. That’s my rant.

Most of the eles I’ve encountered in sPvP are simply to nervous or inpatient to time their skills well. I can almost instantly tell when an ele is going to chain all of his offensive skills and try to “burst” me down. With Endure Pain, stability and some decent offhand blocking (shield, sword) all I need to do is block during that phase and reduce him to dust when he is finished.

However, I’ve also encountered extremely skilled eles which were a real challenge even for my warrior condi builds.

Oh….you think I was playing mostly with ele? Actually, I was really using necro. Zerker+necro+no thoughness=lose every time.

I find the above hilarious.

People have now grown so used to comparing the most powerful class to the least powerful one (in PvP) that now everyone just assumes that anyone complaining about a warrior is an ele.

I had lots of problems with warrior for some time – even the ones played by people whos had no clue about how to play it.
So I went in PvP with a guildie who played war, and just kept dueling him until I was able to get him.
Now, doing it with a guildie allowed him to tell me what he was doing, what were the animations I should watch for (I don’t much like going in spectator mode to analyse those things)…
Now, I’m beating wars somewhat 50 % of the time…
What they have that is dangerous is pretty easy to see and counter…
The bigger problem I have with them is that fights against them take forever – so they have time to call reinforcement…

I play Mesmer, thief, ele, and engi in pvp, and I rarely die to warriors. They are so easy to kite if you have the smallest bit of utility. Sure you can’t kill them if they stack toughness, but they shouldn’t be able to kill you either.

Zerker+necro+no toughness= what cant beat you.

Seriously ……
