Guild Wars 2

Results are hilarious.

Had this thief whack at me the whole game, my HP doesn’t even go down LOL. He was definately playing D/P. I don’t know if he was trying to burst or what but my HP didn’t even go down at all. I was whittling him down with just auto attacks and he had to run every time. Poor guy, dying to auto attack and can’t even hurt me lol.

Everytime I was close to dying when getting mobbed, I just used whirlwind attack and then rush and everyone was so far behind me. Basically just used auto attack and can kill everyone except for full bunker which can’t hurt me obviously.

You killed a D/P thief with autoattack?
That was a really bad thief.
Alas, Warriors are really good counters to thieves in 1v1.

Well I made him run like 4-5 times, can’t remember if I killed him in the end. But having to run from a 1v1 in sPvP isn’t really that good. If I slot in mace/shield and do the macecrack -> 100b -> whirlwind attack probably could kill him though. I was carrying a longbow in the switch slot that I didn’t really use.

Healing signet + adrenal health + banner regen + defense banner + 3341 armor + 28000 HP + berserker stance sustain is no joke in sPvP where everyone hits like a wet noodle. I whacked all the NPCs (profession training dummies) down with just auto attack and standing in the same spot and using hundred blades occasionally. For some NPCs my hp didn’t even go down.

The problem is that one of the most popular Warrior spec at the moment requires 30 points in the defense Trait, that means more toughtnes and more healing.
Now let’s look to one of the most popular spec for the thief that requires 30 point in Shadow Arts: more toughtnes and healing for the thief as well.
Both specs should be balanced, they should have good survivability since they are not specced full glass cannon, and certainly they are balanced.
The difference between the two is that the thief requires to go in & out of stealth for regenerating some health, while the warrior doesn’t need to do anything at all.
His healing signet will heal him for 407 hp\sec and during that time he can focus on attacking his foes.
Another crappy thing is that, while the thief is stealthed regenerating his life, the warrior is capping the base, granting to his team 1 point for every second the thief is stealthed, and regenerating life as well as if that was not enough.
another point, the damage output:
Both those spec lack of a real burst dmg, but the warrior hammer damage is far better than the thief sword dmg. I have considred both those 2 wepons cos they both cleave, granting Warrior and Thief some sort of AoE auto attack.
The last point is the crowd control:
of course the warrior is far better that the thief, and stunning\knocking down or back\dazing you opponent, means that you’re not taking dmg.
Personally I don’t get why people ask some much for a nerf at thief evasion, our only way for mitigating dmg, and no one consider the Warrior CC spam much at least on the same level of our dodging spam.

Condi warriors are way worse than Mace/Shield…met one of those on my mesmer a few hours ago and couldn’t even scratch him. Guess he was using apothecary and gaining like 1500-2000 hp/sec.

Yup, warrior feels more like guardians now.

They keep trying to say warrior can’t bunker, but imo warrior is best bunker right now. There is just no counterplay. You can’t strip its boons you can’t interrupt its heals.

When it gets too hot just pop berserker stance or dolyak stance then use whirlwind attack -> rush. Free get out of jail card on low cooldown.

I thought ANET said bunkers should not have good mobility.
