FIX WARRIOR, IT BLOWS.
The problem with warrior in conquest is that it doesn’t really fit into a definite role. It’s mobile, but can’t decap and +1 like thief, nor can it provide team mobility like mesmer can. It is not strong in team fights, and even if it was, its damage is not AoE, and it doesn’t provide a lot of support (old shoutbow did, that is why it was meta, but Soldier runes don’t cut it anymore after the powercreep). I guess it’s pretty strong as a side point holder: a friend of mine has a nice condi build that can take most 1v1s at equal skill level. Still, I think druid and maybe scrapper are better, since they are much, much better in a 2v2 scenario for the support they provide.
How would you see warrior play in Conquest? As a team fight damage dealer? As a lone roamer? As a support?
I like the idea of a damage-oriented support role for warrior. I don’t know if it would require too many changes, but there is something about the design of warrior about buffing damage for his team (Phalanx Strength is an example, or Empower Allies, even if these traits don’t work in pvp). That way, you could chose between a necro or a DH that deals a lot of damage but can be focused, or a warrior that helps the team do a lot of damage, but gets focused easily. Unfortunately, Berserker is selfish in nature, and I don’t understand what niche it’s supposed to fill in Conquest.
warrior may not offer a lot of support, but how good is it at recieving support? because that’s important too
like in most games, the best thing to pair with a healer is a somewhat bulky high damage dealer

Oh if you put a yolo str/zerker/disc warr running gs/axe+shield you can do some pretty insane cleave dmg (I’m talking 30k+ total dmg if you crit on 4 targets in a mid fight with arc divider; and you can repeat that every 2.5seconds). Just a bit after the meta settled I once got into a game with an auramancer who buffed my kitten up to the sky at mid and we essentially held and killed 3 reapers by ourselves. I mean I did run a build with runes of rage and berserker ammy so on top of all the dmg modifiers from strength I had 240% base crit dmg in berserker mode so I hit like a freaking truck and I did so very often. My arc divider crits were reaching 10ks and the reaper shrouds were melting LOL. But that was all thanks to the fact that he was able to keep me alive. Overall I don’t rly like ditching defense so I swapped str for defense while keeping the same ammy/rune/sigil setup and have been running that since then. But yes, I believe warrior when buffed can do very good damage. Although probably not as good as some other classes (one of those was rev but auto got nerfed :S)

Warrior are doing OK atm. Idk about your skills though. Maybe it’s the other way around. I have no problem dueling necro,rev or any other class; granted some class counter me harder than others. Every pro players are back 9n their warrior ao that should tell you something. In conclusion,better yourself my friend.
Yesterday I was killed “easy” by a warrior. He simply bursted me down with the Rifle. 9k of F1 while in Berserker, every 4 seconds.
Counting all the other skills and the GS if needed a melee damage, his damage was really insane.
I don’t know the warrior build but I was with my Necro in Mercenary (560 toughness) and he simply hitted me for 9k (500-700 damage more or less, frequently more) all the time.
The warrior is really hard to play why actually is a berserker machine that can burst down a enemy but have to be quickly.
Actually, in this new meta, is Ok and can work really good with different builds.

warrior can be decent in duels, but when it comes to the best option for a role, it is outclassed. Will a competitive team really bring a condi warrior over reaper? Will it bring a zerker rifle warrior over a thief or paladin druid? Not really.
While I can say it is an improvement over the last patch (it’s at least usable now), it’s still going to live in the revenant’s shadow as that go to heavy damage dealer.
