Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Just wondering what state warriors in at the moment? I have had a search around and stuff but it’s hard to tell from the warrior forums whether people actually think they’re op/crap.

I’ve had every class at 80 but have never started a warrior just because I don’t wanna be playing ‘that class’ that everyone plays, is super easy and destroys everything in sight..

worth making one yet? THANKS GUYS

Well, I’d say it’s always worth to make each and every profession in game. The warrior is a very straightforward profession with little to no subtility (except in expert hand) but all in all it’s a pleasant profession to play when you wanna release some stress.

The warrior is not op nor is he crappy. In fact, at the moment I think it’s a balanced profession with some niche where he may be pretty strong (like phallanx strenght build)

Warrior isn’t that easy, really… In PvE and low level PvP it’s easy. But against skilled opponents it becomes a whole lot more difficult. It’s one of the most telegraphed professions in the game and pretty much everyone has a Warrior so most people know how they work. This just makes it even harder to get off surprise attacks on decent fighters.

They’re no where near as good as they used to be but they’re still a very solid profession and still meta in a lot of PvE content. I suspect they’ll see a comeback some time in the future for PvP but right now they’re fallen from the meta there.

I suggest you make one simply because they’re easy to grasp and very fun to play. If you plan on being competitive with it however just remember that Warrior is only good at stomping bads not pros. Good luck landing any hammer attacks on a player that knows how to watch for tells. I’ve fought some pretty good Warriors and literally all I have to do is stand a few feet back, watch what they try to do for a few seconds, bait out the CC’s then go in for the kill.

Warriors are great fun to play, just try it, go to the mists and play a couple of PvP and try different play styles to find out.
