Guild Wars 2

I’m coming back to try gw2 (and apparently timing it well if I’m going to be here for a new season) and have decided my first character is going to be a warrior.

I generally prefer soloing in games so I thought I’d try getting to endgame completely solo without spending a ton of time playing the auction house or anything. Also seemed like a potentially fun challenge. I was wondering if there’s a nice progression of dungeons or similar gold sources that you can run while still gearing up or if you really need end game gear to be able to solo reasonable amounts of gold per hour.

I was also wondering if there were any good resources for solo warrior like guides on specific dungeons, tips on a progression, general solo advice, etc.

Thanks!

Warrior is the easiest class to solo with actually.
The guide purple miku put together is mostly targeting people that are already level 80, but it has a lot of information that you could make use of:

Generally speaking, get to love the greatsword. For roaming around on your own, you’ll probably want to use greatsword and swap to axe + warhorn most of the time, occasionally swapping out axe for sword for when you want to travel quicker (savage leap).

You can also try soloing with condition damage gear – the damage is pretty on par with direct damage and you don’t need to buy expensive runes, just expensive sigils (lol).

I’d recommend to play the Warrior as second toon and start with another profession, because the Warrior’s effectivity and survivability is high dependant on at-level items, food and traits, especially in these days after the april patch and when you plan to solo a lot.

You’ll either need enough gold to buy items in the auction house or have high enough crafting skills in Jewelry, Chef, Armor and Weapon Smithing, that need enough crafting ressources to level up, you’ll again either have to buy in the ah or farm on your own.

For soloing purpose, farming ressources, karma and filling your bank slots better start with Mesmer, Engineer, Ranger or Necromancer.

I (and i’m sure many others) do not agree with anything this person has just said at all.

Warriors are one of the best classes for solo leveling, second to rangers because of their ability to rely heavily on their pet to tank damage.

Warriors come with the highest base pool in the game, alongside having the ability to be very mobile, wearing heavy armor and having a plethora of stuns and stun breaks,

The april 15th patch changed very little (that i can notice) in the way of leveling a warrior as i’m currently leveling a second and I’m having no troubles at all, I’ve not bought a single piece of gear from the TP other than current level blue weapons (which cost about 2s tops, not hard to make at all), and content is still incredibly easy, so easy that it got boring and i decided to level through EOTM and SPVP instead.
