Guild Wars 2

I’ve been having a hard time picking a main, so what class do you guys think would compliment a warrior well? (My friend is playing warrior). I’ve been mostly trying to decide between revenant and guardian.

Personally I would say either guardian or Mesmer, then again I am a bit biased in that opinion. I still remember the days of 4 warrior and mesmer group for CoF though that was many years ago when they were farming the dungeon. Basically the idea was mesmer for feedback and time warp, and warrior to burst everything down. Guardian and warrior is a good combo because guardian provides protection that is really good for warrior with high health, then again guard is a good combo with almost any class.

Engie.

Warrior has the most compo finishers, but only one field type.

Engineer has access to all fields (except dark), and can be customized into whatever you or your friend needs.

Otherwise go guardian. You don’t need glint when guardian+warrior have all the boons anyway. Especially since giving stability with a guardian is not as intense as having to slot a whole legend.

Rev would be awesome as you can have perm swiftness, regen, protection, might or fury going as well as any others that I maybe forgetting.

Apart from that pretty much any class if built right lol.

If you want to duo difficult stuff and be optimal about it, don’t do it with a warrior in the first place. Use optimal classes like ele/ele or ele/thief. If you simply want to have fun with your friend and don’t care about efficiency, pick whatever class you like.
There’s no way to complement a warrior, because it’s a selfish solo class. No matter what you pick, it won’t have much impact.
Here are some recent and well executed duos:

The trend in class choices should be obvious.

ehh warrior is not selfish Tara.. You are wrong about that.

That said, for the duo, Herald is solid, Druid is also good pick. And as others said a Guardian.

Doubt it, as a warrior main I should know.
Tell me what does warrior bring into a duo setting that other class cannot (and even better)? Might from PS is nothing, you can stack that on ele along with 2 mitnues of fury. EA or banners are pretty much meh. Good for party of 5 players, but won’t do so much for duo. Ele can do CC, and has superior damage. Thief has very good damage, mobility and can provide stealth for long skips (combos well with ele for blasts).

Don’t get me wrong, warriors are good. They are a necessity for group play, pretty decent solo and okay even for duo, but there are other classes who can do it better.

As I said. If you want to be optimal, go for either ele/ele or ele/thief. If you want to just have fun, then don’t worry about the class at all and just play whatever you like.

You can stack that on ele…by wasting all your blast finishers and a lot of dps and it’ll run out due to cooldowns of said blast finishers. Warrior on the other hand keeps up constant 25 stacks for as long as the fight lasts.

I’d duo a Rev or a Mesmer with Warrior. Rev can give boon duration and perma fury/protection and Mesmer has alacrity and quickness (rev for smaller fights, mesmer for larger, longer lasting fights)
