Guild Wars 2

People watch my stream instead of wasting time on the Warrior forums.

Most of the people you see on the forums do nothing but the following:

1.) Make bad builds and then complain about Warrior being “bad”
2.) PvE’s all day and think they know what is balanced and what isn’t in PvP
3.) Do nothing but complain instead of improving at the game

It simply isn’t productive and a waste of time. I am simply sick of people complaining and doing absolutely nothing when the balancing right now is great compared to two years ago where complaining was actually a legit thing to do. Considering no one else is gonna try and make a difference, I may as well do so myself and advertise my stream.

Right now, Warrior is balanced. There are a few key facts that support this:

1.) Their skills are VERY rewarding to land. When you land an Earthshaker, Skull Crack, fear me or pin down, it is almost guaranteed that people will burn a defensive cool down causing them to be more and more vulnerable to team mates and yourself. To make this balanced, they do not have reliable instant cast skills other than Fear Me. This is without considering how decent Warrior DPS is for the combos that they can do for when they land their skills.
2.) Warriors bait dodges hard. Why? Look at #1.
3.) Warriors gets their dodges baited just as hard as they bait other people’s dodges hard. Why? They don’t really have evades incorporated into their skills, they can’t actually attack while they evade unless they use Whirlwind Slash.
4.) Because it’s also easy to bait a Warriors endurance dodge, in turn their defensive cool downs are very easy to bait out as well. When a Warrior is stunlocked, they cannot cast defensive skills like Guardian blinds or Mesmer Distortion. But this is perfectly fine because it’s highly possible to bait other classes cool downs as you use yours as you attack.

Defining a good Warrior is based on how they land their attacks and how aggressively they can use their even their defensive cool downs. If they cannot land their skills, and in turn complain, then re-roll is the option here.

I could go on and on on why Warrior is balanced. But I’ll simply get to the point and say,

TL;DR please watch my stream and stop wasting time on the Warrior forums.

P.S For when you watch my stream and in turn manage to find the resolve to do crazy plays and builds, keep these words in mind:

“Don’t be afraid, and never look back.”

Because guess what? You’re playing a class that’s meant to be played aggressively. Aggression in this game definitely takes skill though specially on Warrior.

My accomplishments:

-possibly introducing a new meta spec

Being able to pull these combos off as I will demonstrate on stream vs. actual players.

You’re the greatest ever! Now go back to staring in the mirror…

I held back, but this was my inital thought of this. :s
Sorry OP.

I agree with your post. I am sick of crying warriors.

I main warrior since i started the only character i play. tested every trait and skill combination.

Ive dueled alot of players, all classes, and different playstyles. and got to say warrior does have a balance, it is however very hard to play and req alot of practice.

atm runing mace/shield and greatsword and like you said, landing the skills is the most important part. unless you go ahead and use the ‘easier’ warrior builds which are less rewarding and representing warrior class.

(Warriors are masters of weaponry who rely on speed, strength, toughness, and heavy armor to survive in battle. Adrenaline fuels their offensive power—the longer warriors stay in a fight, the more dangerous they become.)

thanks for the post never give up hope on warriors !

I thought making posts to promote one’s twitch channels was against the forum rules?

Incase y’all missed it.

Tune in for more.

I humbly suggest that people just play the game rather than watching streams or going to meta-build websites.

I am only here because my real computer is several blocks away and I have some time to kill mid-day.

Making bad builds….
you run frenzy , defiant stance , rifle without fast hands and then you complain about bad builds. are you serious m8?
Even a rank 500 pug in EU would outplay you…
Before you promote yourself and claim yourself to be good you atcually should achive at least sth.
I know pvp scene in NA is sad atm but I think we’re all excited to see you in ESL next sunday.

Warrior is viable in PvP that’s right but your builds aren’t. And those people who complain about the warrior are mostly reffering to PvE, so stating that the warrior is viable in PvP helps nobody here.

You are right some cryhards on the forums overact and make believe of that the warrior would be completly trash, allthough they’re part of the meta in every gamemode… but pls don’t overact on yourself now.
Calm down and get a cup

warrior is ok, adrenaline decay timer is very frustrating. i only wish they’d make that at least a bit slower.

now if we really want to go into a discussion into what they -should- do with warrior that probably would spawn a very long thread about why is it not cool that warrior MUST take cleansing ire in pvp and how to explain people that warrior in pve isn’t what it was 1 year ago and they shouldn’t stack them… but i don’t think you grasp that much about warrior yet OP.
