Well, the video is mostly a compilation of one burst combo that’s become popular on Warriors these days. I’ve fought many like it. The thing is, outside of that combo, there’s little the warrior brings to the table with this build. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s important to remember our limitations.
I disagree I think a good warrior is well worth his weight…for example spirit rangers are the big thing…well a good warrior counters them very well, they also counter necro’s well so the two big classes at the moment have trouble with warriors, take the advantage!
Oh, I’m not arguing that a good warrior is bad. I play warrior almost exclusively, and frequently prove an asset to my team. I just don’t appreciate a post that does nothing but showcase warrior damage against unprepared players when there is so much more they can bring to the table. Almost any class can do decent to high damage. Warriors just have 1 combo that works well assuming your opponent doesn’t have sufficient evasion/stunbreakers.
That’s not meant to be a dig against the OP, I’m glad he had fun playing a warrior, and clearly he was an asset to his team. My issue is that the video doesn’t really… well, do anything. It showcases a popular combo for about 5 minutes, and that’s about it. It’s effective, but hardly proof of the benefit a warrior can provide a team.
In regards to the overall effectiveness of the build, it seems to be doing fine. In larger team fights it’d require considerable support (due to being immensely squishy), but in small skirmishes or 1v1’s it shines, which is the point, I assume. As long as you use your greatsword mobility to help harass far and home, sticking to small skirmishes, you should maintain maximum effectiveness.
