Guild Wars 2

So I play 2 classes for the most part, a warrior and a thief, and I do a little bit of everything on both of them. Now, there is no doubt in my mind that warrior is much better at dungeons (at least imo) but I’m trying to decide if he is viable in WvW. I’ve tried all sorts of weapon setups (GS/Rifle, Hammer/Rifle, Hammer/Greatsword, Greatsword/Longbow, Hammer/Sword Warhorn, Sword Shield/Longbow) as well 3 different armour setups and traits. I finally focused on a combination of berserker’s armour and cavalier’s trinkets (Power/Toughness/Critical Damage) with GS/Rifle and a 0/20/20/10/20 trait setup. Slot skills are Mending/Bulls charge/Frenzy/ Endure Pain/ Signet of Rage.

The build has the following stats:
2.9k Attack, 3k armour, 20k health, 65% critical chance (When fury and consumables),90% critical damage,lifesteal from omnomberry ghosts.

It seems like he can do OK at WvW, he can 1v1 most classes and survive fairly well in team fights but it’s nothing special and he has all sorts of weaknesses (Cripple/Chill being the most common) and it seems like he gets focused like crazy.

My thief on the other hand seems to be infinately better and it’s not like im using any kind of crazy build. I’m just using the usual 25/30/0/0/15,Dagger Dagger/ Shortbow, full berserker crit build and yet it does SO much better than my warrior. My thief can easily do 1v2 or even 1v3 if the enemy sucks enough. He can literally walk into the middle of the enemy zerg, gank someone and shadowstep away with very little issue. At a range, he can do the same damage with shortbow as my warrior can do with rifle but also do it AoE. Heavy focusing is never a problem either since i can stealth/shadowstep away.

I really do like my warrior and I feel like an absolute jerk for using a D/D thief build but is it just undeniably better? Do I just suck at warrior? Is my build wrong?

Would really appreciate any help that might make my warrior as good as my thief or at least a bit better because right now, he doesnt even come close. :(

Here’s what I run in WvW:

Knight’s + Zerker mix w Lyssa Runes. GS w Fire Sigil. Omnomfood.
Mending – FGJ / SoS / Balanced Stance – SoR

Very durable while still dishing out considerable dmg. Obv you wanna keep Bloodlust stacks at 25, after that you faceroll in zergs or solo.

As for the equipment mix, see here for Knight <→ Zerk priorities:

Stealth+Culling is one of the better things in WvW.

Your Warrior will never match, or even get close to, your Thief.

if u compare it that way, of course thief is better. i can kill more and escape with my thief, but spamming 2~3 skills feels cheesy, and doing chain CnD on people or npc just feel dirty, so i m back on my warrior. and btw i dont care about badges that much so less kill is ok for me.
