Guild Wars 2

So many moons ago the full zerker Warrior was matched in DPS by only one other, the Mug+Backstab Thief; but that combo no longer works and the Thief is a pale shadow of their past glory. The question still stands, are there any Warrior builds that have actual weaknesses to the current Thief meta?
I’m asking for a friend who thinks in a 1v1, he could take a full Berserker Warrior provided the warrior stopped attacking if he entered stealth.
As the flagship profession to using Berserker armor sets, you guys should know if in your most vulnerable a thief could fight you on even ground.

Ofc a thief can kill a warrior. The thing is that warriors use stances so they can prevent dmg and they always use auto attacks or skills like whirlwind when a thief goes stealthy. All in all, equally skilled players should be able to find one little mistake in the other and get an advantage at some point,but worst case scenario both the thief and the warrior can escape from each other. Maybe thief even more effectively. The thing is that both lose from shatter mesmer

I think all melee professions can come together in fear of Shattercat Mesmers

Yeah, I was fighting one today with my warrior and I had pretty high health he was at 40 % so I did not use my berserker’s stance. Suddenly, his friend anotehr shatter mesmer came out of nowhere and died in seconds (2-3 max). So, most likely they are not that effective when you attack on them, but when they prepare their skills and come out of nowhere so you die with one burst. And with all this sealth is so hard to see :/ I play mesmer and I find prismatic understanding fine, but I dont play shatter cause I think its too bad even for roaming. Its just a burst kill someone and then wait for cooldowns even though shatter skills have low cd. I prefer more brawler type of builds even in mesmer. I dont know why people like this :/
