seems like a really fun class, but that’s the point of my post.
what i’d like to know is how a class with no magical ability can throw fireballs.
EDIT: this is a question of lore only.

Wrap up a cloth into a ball, douse it in flammable liquid and light it with the TORCH that you’re holding?
Actually, does the berserker even throw fireballs? All i remember is a cascading ability and the one where he places a fire field on himself.

yes, the sword burst skill. you can’t simply throw fire by lighting your sword ablaze.
Aside from that fact that attempting to apply strict real world logic to a fantasy sword & sorcery game is a fool’s errand, your answer is magic.
Every human, for those of us from Guild Wars: Prophecies, and quite likely every race within Tyria is capable of utilizing magic. It was the basis of the secondary profession mechanic in the original Guild Wars, which gave you such combinations as Warrior/Elementalist.
As for the specific question: Channeling her immense rage, the reason she’s a Berserker in the first place, our psychotic hero pushes ffiery bolts of magic through her sword as she swings it very, very rapidly.

i wasn’t aware, i assumed it was kind of like ‘the force’ where some people were born with it, some weren’t. i took out the first part of your post because it was mainly a lore question, since warrior has been a 100% martial class until now.

It can be argued, based on certain Warrior skills, that Warrior used magic already. At the very least, subtle magics such as making a blade that much sharper, a shield that much sturdier, or the Warrior itself that much faster would not be outside the realm of lore-friendly possibilities.

I told everyone the elite spec would be kratos.

Every class in the game uses magic. Some profs have more magical animations than others; some don’t. Here are some seemingly physical-only skills that have magic-like elements:
tl;dr there aren’t any ‘physical’ only skills
where in the lore does it say warriors don’t have any magic powers? sure they may not be throwing spells out, but they have plenty of skills that normal non magical humans couldn’t do.
Only engineer has been stated explicitly not to rely on Magic (They use Alchemy and Engineering -based- on physics and logic in a magical world, so it’s kind of an in-between.)
Warrior’s been able to shout away Pain and Conditions, Summon Banners from the sky and Stomp the ground so flipping hard it sends grown Norn flying. They’ve always had a subtle hint of magic. Think of them as the result of someone going Shaolin Monk in a world rampant with magic.
And maybe they obtained a magical sword from an elementalist that sends out fireballs when swung a certain way or a certain phrase said.
You think the fireballs are ilogic? What about those rocks appearing from nowhere so the berserk can smash them? Magic is an ok answer, but is also a way too lazy one .
The spec looks really fun, but from a “aestheticaly coherent” point of view, they could have made a better work, at least with the animations. Fireballs could be animated to look like “ki charges” or directly as physical projectiles. (If Warrior can throw bolas, why not throw firecrackers, molachev bottles or simply sparks?) Instead of a rock popping in from thin air, the berserker could break the floor with his/her bare hands and throw the rubble, etc.
I don’t think this have any relevance, anyway. Thre are much more insulting fails in the game, like the Dragon Hunter, or the first Revenant v/s PS problem.
TLDR: Fun spec, lame skill explanations, could be better with a little better thought animations. It really don’t matter.
