NOTE: NOT A SERIOUS POST

Just for fun, I decided to see if warriors really were the easiest class. Spoilers: They’re not.

I took some plausible-looking warrior and engineer builds with different stat types and multiplied together DPS, Effective HP, and Effective Healing. In other words, one build may be considered easier than another because it is easier to deal high damage, while in other cases it may be considered easier because it’s easier to stay alive. The higher the ease rating, the higher the ultimate balance of stats (it’s DPS x EHP x EHealing / 1 billion).

Time/Effort Tradeoff is a function of loss of DPS versus gain in survivability (i.e. it takes more time to kill things but less effort). It’s percentage-based so it’s a slightly different number than the above which is based on absolute numbers.

Anyway, image is linked.

As you can see, engineer is actually easier across the board to play than axe warrior, and the respective carebear specs (Adrenal Health warrior and Backpack Regen bombs engie) are always easier to play than full zerker. Knights is also easiest to play generally across the board, and Clerics is actually relatively hard to play, even coming out lower than zerker in one case.

So basically what I’m saying is that the cleric players are the most hardcore and zerkers are scrubs.

I wanted to say, Guang, that while everyone jumps on you every time you post I am always impressed by your resilience.

I don’t understand the spread sheet. But I like posts that are jokes with numbers +1 to you.

Sounds like healing bombs.

It’s amazing that you put a joke I had in my head together, Guang, and with numbers, no less. Great minds think alike.

The ironic part about it is that guang truly thinks warriors have very low survivability.

Warriors on their own aren’t so great. They need to know to play. But warriors with some guardian support? Different matter entirely.

I’m not sure if there’s an easier or stronger profession for solo play.

I’d have to disagree(about the not being so great on their own part).

I mean yes meta axe you might have some trouble with some bleed stacks but using something like hambow is not only highly self sustaining, its got CC and can synergize well with phalanx strength regardless of what stat archetype you choose.

You might not deal as much sustained damage in a corner strat but if people are running around like headless chickens you can certainly deliver group support and CC with hambow.

It sounds crazy I know but I’ve 3 manned that entire bandit room in CM with the two huge groups charging in without corner stacking them with a condi mesmer and a bunker engie, with me doing hambow, I think that alone should speak of something.

Yes I know it sounds crazy.

All I’m saying is that warriors can do some pretty mean things independently and can bring some nice things to the table.
