Warriors aren't OP, your build is just UP.
That is partially correct, but it’s also a bad over-generalization. I don’t think anyone here is using a cantrip ele or d/d thief.
Also, people are calling for nerfs for a variety of reasons. Some are having trouble beating warriors, that’s true. Most top-tier players are calling for nerfs just because they see how unhealthy the current warrior is for the game.
In other words, we’re not dying to warriors, we’re just watching them drive new/casual players away from the game (just like thieves/mesmers last year), and that bothers us.
There are thousands of players in this game and the general consensus among the majority of them are Warriors are overpowered. This isn’t an opinion of just the lower ranked people but of everyone overall. So while some of the issue could very well be build choice for some, the reality is that Warriors are still overpowered.
Warriors are meant to be backbones of a team fights as their specialisation is WAR by definition they have to be better in sustaining fights than any other classes.
Anet should grant warriors builds the same extra hp grey pool from necro through the shield spe.
My power ranger beats your warrior. Therefore, it’s not entire meta wars and is partially skill wars…
Am I good?… I’m good.
I logged on just to tell you that you are mistaken with the D/D thief comment. I have rolled D/D since i started playing this game and while it is a tad more difficult, i still have extreme success. Before you ask, no, i am not D/D condi. Although you aren’t completely off base, most D/D thieves do indeed suck kitten .
PS: If you are fighting a warrior up in his face with d/d and not moving as a thief, your doing it wrong.
Most of the people that complain about not being able to kill this “God” class, are using outdated or unreliable builds like cantrip ele, some random hybrid mesmer build, or d/d thief. Use a meta build and know how the game works and you can kill any warrior. Maybe not with ease, but it can be done. Sadly this game has turned into Meta Build Wars 2, so if you aren’t using a meta build (correctly) you’re bound to get mushed. I would be pestering about adding more viable build variety to other classes instead of removing build variety for one class. I’m not saying warriors don’t need a nerf (me personally adrenaline needs to be used up when they miss their burst), but I’m also not saying their an unbeatable monster that haunts my dreams at night.
I don’t understand why people keep saying cantrips are bad on ele’s. It’s still a really solid choice to take, especially with all these stuns builds going around. Only thing that got nerfed even more recently is mistform. It doesn’t provide a capture point contribution anymore so I rather take armor of earth. Other then our cantrips we got very little survivability, what els should I take, bloody arcane spells ? it provides almost nothing in this current meta.
Sometimes it really frustrates me when people complain about certain builds/classes and don’t have enough information about them to really judge whats going on.
To correct the OP.. no specific build is overpowered, as there are clear cut counters for all of them.
Healing sig needs shaving, it’s OP. It would be nice to keep it useful to valk/clerics (i.e. not nerf it to oblivion).

isnt that the same? 1 build op or 7 up? 1 needs shaving to get the same level or 7 needs buffs… stupid reason to create a new thread
There’s like 8 threads going on about this topic, you don’t think it means something?
Warriors are too high reward for too Little risk at the moment.
Great Damage ; Excellent surviveability; Great team Utility/CC;
Great 1v1 against 7/8 classes
Great at Team fights
Great at point control if Longbow is slotted
What’s the point of bringing a mesmer/thief/ele/ranger when you can just bring 2 warriors?
No one even runs some ridiculous duel build(Which is possible believe me),
the meta warrior is great all around, and it works to great success at extremely low skill levels.

^^This guy gets 100%. OP gets an F.

so basically you are saying that every other class should be building to counter warriors…. isn’t it the definition of OP?

Wow it like a break up line. “its not you, its me.” no one believes that kitten either.
It was 2 vs 20 but its ok we got’em both!

Plays on NA where nobody plays. Is ranked 736 on NA with 86 wins and 68 loses. Which is terrible.
This guy doesnt play against decent people ever which is why he has no clue.

LOL. QFT.
later. It doesn’t care that I’m there.”
i love it when there are more warriors on my team. 4 warriors 1 spirit ranger is the best team ever. more power to the warriors.

can anyone make a survey and show the results here? i don’t believe what you guys are saying. I’m sorry. I also talked to a lot of players IG and they said that warriors are not OP.
i guess, warriors gonna get a huge nerf. i hope rangers will be the next warriors after the next balance patch.
more power to the spirits. spirit of nature needs more healing power.

My money is on Engineers.
engineers to be the next OP class or engineers getting nerfed?
The next OP class.
The next OP class.
I don’t think it’s possible. Condi engi is very strong right now but gets hardcountered by necro, so you’ll never see very many of them go FOTM unless necro condi flips are nerfed hard. There’s bunker engi, which is a good solo build but lacks the teamfight of other tanky professions. There’s also glass cannon engi, which takes balls of steel to play…so the FOTM crowd will never go there.
Which is amazing, in my opinion. Engineers are set up to have a variety of strong builds but never be OP/FOTM for months or years to come. That didn’t just happen—there have been hundreds of mostly small buffs/nerfs to get them there. Hopefully that’s what can happen with your favorite profession as well. Don’t worry, warriors will still be incredibly strong after the next patch, and you may find that they’re more fun, demanding, and rewarding to play as well.
warriors all in one feature gets nerfed….:o
