Guild Wars 2

Practiced everyday to be the best warrior I could be. Trading hits, build analysis, understanding enemies rotation, learning when to burst.
But the confines of the game system have limited my growth.
Bottom line is no one wants a warrior. I stayed judiciously and practiced thinking one day that would change. Maybe some team would see me fit. But that day just won’t come. What is team pvp without the team.

It really hurts me because I love this game, I really do. Combat is awesome. But I see my experience is going no where at this point. I guess my time is up and I will soon be joining the ranks of the past. Who knows maybe I could be missed lol. Goodluck in your endeavors so on and forth.

It was fun while it lasted… Started from the bottom, still here…

If you’re good then we won’t care what you play.

I have no problem helping new players, I actually promoted myself for the task. I am a part of players helping players thread and even did streaming for a short period while playing more often. However, forming a team with new players can be frustrating and that I prefer not to do actually. It invokes a sort of rage quitting in myself I am not used to having. I come from console shooter gaming background have never found myself getting so upset about little things before related to a video game.

Well if you want to join let me know. There are about 8 of us that play together consistently and we’re pretty good.

Its very hard to find good team and even harder to start one but if u really master warrior i think in the right team can be very strong so dont give up and just try to find a good team is all i can say. When u do fid one this game becomes so much beter, its sad tho so many good tams have left and still i see nothing changed to bring them back.

You’re on EU? =)

If you are on EU servers PM me in game, Volted.2451.
Peace.

Well, I tried so hard too.

I am NA, which is even worse. I think EU seems to have a different perception of the gameplay from what I have heard and seen.

I wanted to give a shout out to Defektive & Schwahrheit for making me a better warrior. They are both great warriors and know more than me imo.
Shout out to Hegemony for getting me opportunities in higher level play.

I heard NA scene is suffering alot. Here in Eu things start to get as bad, at a slower speed however. The perception is different but more and more are trying new things (puggs mainly) if you’re speaking of that perception of the gameplay.

I will never forget you guys and the warrior teams. Playing with you and against you is equally as fun. Always pushed me to my limit and then to the next level. Half the things I do now have been because of you guys. Just showing my appreciation.

BTW I will be running your hammer build tonight as a tribute. Today will prolly be my last day for at least a week to clear my mind.

Was it the patch that threw you off? I personally was hoping for considerably more changes. Potentially in regards to banners and a base F1 mobility attack (so we aren’t shackled to GS or Sword).

He tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
He had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnt even matter

I actually like that song a lot.

@ Defektive, I am not sure if it was the patch per say. Things in the right direction by bringing other classes into a more manageable kill for myself. But just the disregard for the war class by AN and then by the community. From AN pov, it is like a pride issue, We think we got this one right, so we are not going to touch it to prove it. From Community pov, war is so grossly UP that we don’t want you regardless if you can beat our players.

And how each new map is more vertical, I think we were joking in ts that the next map is just going to be a vertical pillar that you have to race to the top. I am not sure when did verticality=better, but in this game it does.

Blackhat.4016:

I am sorry but this thread made me laugh.^^

There is definitely a place for warriors in PvP. Most teams just don’t like them because they see the “casual GS faceroll” warrior. Show them that you are a good warrior player and they will accept you.

And if that doesn’t help, you can still faceroll PvE and buy a team with the gold you made. :P

K Pop isn’t your casual faceroll warrior. He plays with some of the top players in tPvP and know his stuff. When a player like him is about to call it quits. You listen.

The way I’m looking at it, I am proud to be one of the very few dedicated warrior players, and despite the overwhelmingly disappointing patch I will still be here. I feel your pain though, it feels like we are the neglected red-headed step children that noone wants on their team, and A-net doesn’t care about. It’s hell being the underdog.

Yeah I’m ashamed to be one of those that abandoned a Warrior because I didn’t think it was going to be viable. Especially since I wanted to play a Condi-Dmg Variant.

I never called someone a “casual faceroll warrior”. It’s just a sad fact that most people will see that kind of player in every single warrior, no matter if it is true or not. Please read before commenting. Thanks.

Soon there will be no Warriors left to call names anyway. We’re a dying breed.

Reminds me of the WAMOs from yesteryear.

“W/Mo…. GTFO!”

Warrior loyalist myself and still kickin’

Sad but true. This is “only” true for PvP though.

Im sure there are teams who could use a warrior, try out xephs thread.
Or, if you love the game alot, you could consider rolling another class.

I think alot of people are having trouble fnding teams, they are disbanding left right and center.

Lol don’t quit, you’re probably just burned out. I used to play Warrior as my main too, I have around 1,600+ games, but it’s just not quite viable atm is why I picked up Elementalist. What I’m really trying to say is pick up another class for a bit until/if Warrior’s get buffed.

-Vexeus

Tactis is in my guild. I am sure my name doesn’t resonate across the community like some of the “elites”, but I do know a little something about this warrior class.

@Credo, I wanted to switch and I tried dps guard and necro. Maybe I just haven’t found the class yet. I should try engi prolly.

Again this is just my gripe with warrior and the current playstyle and the community opinion.

You could always get an EU account and take a break from NA and play on EU for a while. I think they appreciate warriors a bit more over there. I’d be sad to see you go, though. You can always try dps guard and other classes, and there are a ton of playstyles.

DON’T GO K POP I LOVE YOU

Hate to say it, but EU isn’t really that hot for Warriors either :P.

The problem is simply broken bull crap.

1.) Corrupt Boon shouldn’t convert boons into anything at all, specially fear. Necros are already hard to catch if you use plague and use that "Fear everyone when you get CC’d trait. Why the hell should corrupt boon convert stability into fear? Let alone the fact that they have cripples and chill.
2.) Chill needs to get nerfed to the ground if mobile strikes isn’t getting buffed.
3.) Turtling around Blurred Frenzy cool down is no brainer and takes no skill. Its no different from spamming evade frames tbh.
4.) Triple Cantrips and some stun breaks in general, need I say more? And being able to use more than one stun break is just pathetic because catching people in a CC as a Warrior takes too much effort. Why do you think everyone was complaining about Flash in LoL? Because “I messed up” buttons are pathetic cause they take zero thought process.

Two ways ANET could fix Warriors. Nerf BS like Evade Frames, Corrupt Boon or Chill to the ground. Or maybe you can give Warrior a higher skill ceiling such as triple swap. They’ll be broken but at least other classes can be just as broken.

ANET fails to understand simple things such as this. Like, I don’t know why they nerfed Warriors when they have been an L2P issue to deal with from the beginning from all that BWE’s.

This thread speaks volumes to me, and I had a motivational meeting earlier today.
Anything worth anything takes work. Maybe warrior is my anything.

Like, I don’t understand why they hire inexperienced balance designers. Balancing in this game shouldn’t even be hard to understand. That being said its not even a staff quantity issue, its all quality. And Jon Peters and Jonathan Sharp are of both low quality.

GET BETTER PLEASE.

Gmtsai.6349:

You guys should go meet and play with Anastasis Tactis in order to get your confidence back on warrior. He runs the unique warrior and he is very strong, I believe he is pro in 1v1 and also the most effectiveness warrior in team-fight now…

Hmm… thanks for mentioning me, but I don’t think I’m that good. Well I have to say the only thing is, I really enjoying to watch people’s rage after they got owned by me in 1v1, and I’m a WARRIOR. That’s the only thing true right here. LOL

For K pop, don’t be sad, because ppl whoever playing warriors r reli skilled players. The reason why is because we don’t want to touch those cheesy classes. Many people try to show “I am so pro” with a cheesy class, which is so laughable. So just don’t think that much

Bit kitteny but I guess you got right to speak so. Warrior is manual class, it won’t play itself for you.

Probably that’s why I just can’t endure playing other classes.

Is there any profession which “plays itself for you”? The only thing I can think about is HS spammer thiefs but that’s about it. :P Every single profession needs some kind of skill, some are just more effective than others in the current meta.

Well our definition of plays itself is the mechanics of the class allow and compensate for deficiencies in play of the user.

I don’t think anyone is denying that something like an ele or a mesmer require thought to play. The problem is in the capabilities of the different professions, not the skill required to play them.

Honestly, I see no other way the meta could have developed. I mean basically they said hey you can do x damage to 1 target or x damage to 5 targets simultaneously. It is a no brainer people picked aoe over solo target characters.

From my experience, I die most to splash damage and not when I am actually being focused. I feel like I don’t realize the aoe when I am not the main target.

Make a post about how you’re quitting because your class limits your near skill-capped ability, and then make another 10 posts without leaving.

lol

Not in game… I don’t see what the issue is? And just because I may leave does not make me less qualified or able to post.

Warriors are played on top-end-/high-end-pvp on EU, just saying. The new map has made more appear too.
And warriors ain’t cheesy, only elementalists are.

Edit: Team compositions still have the usual 4 supsects and warrior as 5th or they run a bit of an unconventional comp.

Lady Sara Goldheart.2764:

And warriors ain’t cheesy, only elementalists are.

Right…
I assume you believe every ele is defaulted to the 10/30/30 spec and has the retrait feature locked.

Some players won’t run that cookie cutter ele spec and run burst damage eles. Try it sometime and tell me that a burst ele is somehow cheesier and less demanding on a player than waiting for a stun/immob and pressing 2 with a greatsword.

And no, this isn’t a knock on GS’s or anything involving their ‘power’ in pvp, hell it’s really all warriors have going for them atm which is stupid on the devs parts, but you’re assuming that all eles are that bunker spec instead of working our kittens off trying to work a burst/damage ele for all it’s worth. And in spite of patches that slap non-bunker spec’d eles in the face and promote the bunker spec even more instead of build variety. >:(

The issue of the eles lies mostly in all the utility combined. Bunker Eles are specficially the cheesy ones, while I agree with you that burst eles do require a certain amount of skill ( even more so than bunker eles ).
Also, double ele comps and tripple ele comps. Comparing the eles to other classes in a scenario of a teamfight shows how much they can peel on targets and pressure them without having to worry as much as the targets.

Lady Sara Goldheart.2764:

My bad I actually meant bunker eles.

Yeah. Sorry that rant came out a bit more kitteny than it should’ve at you. Just annoyed with the devs. Both for what the did with warriors (IE: Nothing…) and for slapping non-bunker eles in the face. Didn’t mean to take it out on you.

No problem, I guess a lot of players were suprised/frustrated at the changes and how ineffective they actually are.

My thread is the unofficial we love warriors and you did nothing for us thread.

Going to leave it at this. I worked hard on my class. And pulling kitten like this in competitive play is frustrating and anti-fun. I’ll explain why.

When you try to get people to play characters they don’t feel like playing just to deal with broken bull crap such as double Ele, Mesmers, and corrupt boon, then you’re definitely doing something wrong with your game. Seriously do you not see how pathetic your competitive play is ANET?

In order to deal with Corrupt Boon, you have to have it yourself. In order to deal with double Ele, you have to an Ele of equal skill yourself. In order to deal with people who uses underhanded BS such as res signets, you have to have res signets yourself. This is where ANET failed, you are NOT allowing people to enjoy classes that they feel like playing because of broken BS that isn’t easily accessible.

Don’t even get me started on how most other classes take such little effort compared to Warrior. You failed on this part too ANET, you could’ve at least balanced it out based on “effort” but no you and your staff can’t understand simple logic.

Warrior is a great class, I’ve always liked this class. Its just that ANET made too much anti-fun BS to deal with such as not being able to deal with “I messed up buttons.” evade frames, slows, triple stun break/cantrips, sustain, and stripping stability while converting it into a CC while ANET doesn’t at least try to find the decency to tone BS like these down.

Its pretty much “TEAM COMP WARS 2.” Oh wait make it “ANET IS A BUNCH OF PREACHERS WHO FORCES PEOPLE TO PLAY SPECIFIC COMPS WARS 2”

From what i gather, warriors are very strong in pve land. So maybe this is why they are reluctant to buff stuff.

Do what you did with eles. distinguish pve/pvp.

It’s a question of where though. When I play a Warrior compared to a Mesmer and later an Engineer it wasn’t a question of doing enough damage. It always felt like I didn’t have enough options in a fight and was just at the mercy of my opponent’s decisions. Even with the Warrior’s innately higher bulk, it always felt like a few tricks from the opponent would easily make it so they DPS race me faster then I would DPS race them.

Given, it’s been a long time since I’ve played a Warrior seriously (I only play my Condi Warrior in Hotjoin for fun now, haha), so perhaps that perspective is gone. It’s odd though, because when I went to a Mesmer just having the Shatters and lower cooldown things to do made me feel more active. It’s the same with an Engineer having Kits and Tool Belt skills, which gives me potential options. I always just feel deprived of choices as a Warrior, and that feels like it leads to a disadvantage in fights.

In terms of viable builds though, Warriors need help just as much as any other profession. There is a lot of gunk in the utilities, skills, and traits. Same goes for Engineer, and many other classes. That is something that just needs to be fixed overtime, and is honestly understandably difficult to address without overbuffing things.
