Guild Wars 2

if you’re burst: anything that can hold the enemy in place.

If you’re the CC, have him be anything that can burst.

Rifle engineer.

Sorry for the newb question. Where have you seen that 2v2s are coming?

Wait, what? They are releasing 2v2? Deathmatch? Where did you see this?

You can go with a D/D thief, Rifle Engineer, even a ranger would work. You need something to compliment your warrior. So go for something that can burst, or can let you set up your burst with CC. Hell, even a hammer warrior or guardian would work.

As for what wouldn’t work? Well, a warrior isn’t exactly built for attrition. So something like a bunker or a lot of condi builds would be bad. P/D thief for example.

This is assuming you play the standard 100B build.

warrior + ele synergizes well

Ultima.8673:

warrior + ele synergizes well

why? when i say rifle engineer i imagine them in voip 3..2..1 and engi immobilizes target and warrior uses 100b. what does ele offer?

updraft , earthquake , best heals condicleaner and mightstacks for warrior . if they combine each others skill = bämmmm warrior is tough while getting protection regeneration swiftness from ele

U can look foward to it comin cuz it wont happen

hey OP here is an idea for a companion engi to a 100b warrior:
rifle, utility: elixir gun & net turret
so you have rifle which is best cc weapon in game with immob spam. can coordinate to use 100b often on targets. elixir gun has fumigate which applies poison, vulnerability, and removes up to 5 conditions from allies, applies weakness on auto atk (great condi for mitigating dmg), and has super elixir which he can throw under his warrior and removes 1 condi when it lands, plus heals on impact, plus heals over 10 seconds, plus is a light combo field. then you have net turret which makes sure the enemy is not going anywhere while your warrior spams 100b on them. so, all-in-all, this is a pretty good idea I think.

It may be a while until we see 2v2 arena but hope is nice to hold onto.

There are several ways warrior can meld well with other classes. A sustained CC damage warrior with a thief can wreck another 2v2 in a few seconds. Mesmer is also a good match due to control and having more inherent escape and group utility than the warrior. Try some builds between the two of you on prof you like and find something that works well with you. Side note, if you are running any type of burst warrior make sure your team has a class that can boon share or has enough stomp denial to support your high damage and 0 survivability. Ele, engi, and mesmer are all good choices.
