Guild Wars 2

Warrior GS burst is being changed to aoe burst skill. This means Warrior has another source of a reliable condi clear for Cleansing Ire. GS is also the main source of mobility for the Warrior. Will Thieves be replaced by Warrior in a team lineup now?

I doubt it, even if greatsword does become part of the PvP meta again it simply doesn’t have the vertical mobility and the ability to cut corners that shortbow thieves have. It’s not just speed in a straight line that matters in PvP.

That’s true, but they can actually hold a point and not die like flies. We could possibly see people gladly subbing in a gs war in place of a thief since it could potentially be less risky to do so, and warriors are pretty much THE class that needs the least amount of teamwork to get stuff done – so they can definitely hold their own.
