Guild Wars 2

It seems that zerker Greatham Warriors are in the meta, judging by the ESL match today, but they’re only good for Rampage cheese during team fights. Furthermore, I think that every class can beat Warriors with minor to medium difficulty, excluding power Necros and maybe some Ranger types. However, Necro has the new Signet build and Ranger has condi builds and their new really powerful taunt. Warriors pretty much lost Shoutbow and every other build is just… bad for 1v1.

Warrior is very slow, telegraphed and relies on actually hitting his opponent with single-strike melee moves, which is the worst type of attack in GW2. It seems that Warrior’s combat style is fundamentally broken. As far as I’m concerned the zerker Warrior only has 3 good attacks: Whirlwind, Reckless Dodge and Hydro+Leeching weapon swap with Fast Hands. Everything else will never touch a competent Ele, Engie or Mesmer.

You see, Before back in early 2013, warrior was the worse class in PvP, nobody want to play it, no good warrior can find a team.

Reason because, it can not survive
any one can kit warrior till warrior is dead, until they gave warrior healing signet, so people can’t simply kit and still have enough damage to kill warrior.
now damage is over the top, people can just run away and still kill warrior now just like back in 2013.

It’s only temporary, Anet will be toning the damage down.

Well, things have changed for sure. The single celestial warrior that was able of doing everything is probably dead, yes – not enough damage, not enough defense, by trying to do everything it’s become mediocre at everything.

I believe that we have to commit to a build choice, now – be it berserker, condition, support – it’s all about a full and consistent commitment to a build idea. Also, the time where the warrior was relying on its innate strong base stats and regen is pretty much over. Trying to play old meta builds is a dangerous nostalgia.

In PvP, I’ve chosen the path of the Berserker warrior, and am having a blast – against pretty much every class. In WvW, I’ve tried condition builds, and it’s as cheesy as it ever was. I don’t know if the warrior will have its place in the new meta – but so far, I don’t feel underwhelmed at all. And I’m an average casual player, so believe me, I’ve felt underwhelmed A LOT in the past…

How easy does this YuiRS guy want Warrior to be? Sigh. Like no offense dude, your pessimistic attitude will literally crush w/e dreams you’re trying to accomplish in game and IRL.

Just L2P already.

Black, I hate to break it to you – no one takes you seriously on the forums anymore and you’re the most critical, pessimistic and hate-filled soul that roams these halls. If you do a google search for “psychologist” + your location, you’ll find someone that’s qualified to help you with small m.a.n syndrome.

Everyone is resetting the fight against me (mesmers thieves engi)

forcing me to run rifle gs

There are always necros and other melee classes worthy to engage against.

Only two classes I have a hard time with consistently so far in a true 1v1 in PvP. That’d be the infamous 1200 range mesmer shatter and the burn guard build that seems to be popular. Any other match up I found to be pretty close or one-sided. I guess just learn your counters, builds, and try new amulets and avoid fights you can’t win.
