Guild Wars 2

Heey guys ive been wondering… I watch alot of Twitch and everytime a guy goes solo roaming… He picks his warrior!

Is there anything else that goes great with solo roaming except Warrior?… And has good survivability?

Yes, every class has strong roaming capabilities (give or take on Guardian), you just need the right builds and experience that will come with roaming. Warrior is just a big pick right now because the ability to escape is unmatched by any other class.

The weakest roaming classes are probably guardian and necro and mostly due to their lack of real escape tools rather than any real issues offensively.

I wouldn’t even rank Warrior at the top for roaming to be honest as they’re torn apart by condis (which most roamers run).

Really, Mesmer and Thief are probably the 2 strongest roaming classes currently. I’d even rank condi Rangers up there. Engineers too. Then you get to the Warrior imo.

Warriors, like thieves, currently don’t have to finish fights that they start that don’t go their way. They can run away from nearly anyone who would otherwise issue them a beatdown. In fact, most of the time all you see is the warrior’s back as he heads for the hills

Pretty much, but this behavior got Elementalists eviscerated.

Thief IMO is a better roamer than the warrior. These are my two favorite classes to play but the thief is faster, stealth is a better escape mechanic and a warrior will frequently run from one fight only to walk into another with cooldowns. Thieves rarely have that problem. I can roam VERY far away from a waypoint on my thief without worry.

You can also pick your targets on a thief which a warrior rarely does.

Though thief will lose to other classes if he trys to contest them for a camp or sentry. I have had that happen couple times when I am on my thief is can be pretty annoying.
