Guild Wars 2

Now before i start, i do not doubt that this could be a learn 2 play issue. Any tips and information about the warrior would be appreciated.

Since release, i have mained two classes in PvP. The elementalist and the necro. About 2 months ago i decided to try my hand with warrior, and let me tell you, it’s been a pretty painful and frustrating experience. Everytime i have a bad game, or just get owned, i would ask myself, “why am i playing this class for when i have Ele waiting for me?” Everytime i get outnumbered and or on low health, i have to stand there, take it and fight until i’m dead. Where’s my mobility? Where’s my crutch i can fall back on when i’m in trouble?

Sorry if this came across as a rant, but i just don’t know anymore. I’ve tried my best to try and learn the warrior as best as possible. Spent hours trying out different builds, and i’m having no luck. Like i said, it could be a learn to play issue, and i accept that, but as of now, i will go back to my elementalist and necro.

Warrior is widely considered the worst profession for sPvP.

^ This.

Actually, i did the opposite. I changed my class to Ele because the forum’s are full of people who say ele is the god tier class. Now that i have played a several games with it i have to say that it is not as OP as everybody is saying, or is this a l2p issue for me? xD
They can survive very well, but i have the feeling that the damage that comes with it just so low. I even tried Glass Cannon build with sceptre/daggers which has a good 8k burst but even then i think i can do a lot more damage with my engineer.

if i’m wrong, can somebody share a good build with me? Because the ele looks so cool :p

If you are looking for burst you need to pick up at least one dps arcane utility, two if you want to really do damage. This means of course you can’t be running triple cantrip. The standard build for spvp is 0/10/0/30/30 aura share D/D. Everyone has there own variations but they all have elemental attunement,evasive arcana, cleansing wave, powerful aura’s and zephyr’s boon. The other two are what ever you like. You can also swap cleansing water in for powerful aura is you are facing lots of condi. If you want more damage pick up vital striking in water. Ele’s don’t have that quick burst like a thief, mesmer or engi but can still up out a lot of damage within a 3-4 second window.

Thanks for taking the time to help.
I have been using a build with 2 Arcane abilites, they both hit like 2-3k (they allways crit?) The bad part about this build that my health is around the 13-14k xD. I will try some other builds soon. Thanks
