Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I have been playing GW2 since release off and on. I am fairly casual but only because I get bored fairly easy. I have an 80 Guardian, Mesmer, Thief, and Necro. I would say the Thief is my favorite because of the enjoyment in roaming but is very squishy. Recently I dueled a warrior and he was very solid I could barely get him down half health and it seemed like a fun class to play.

Would a warrior be a good choice be over what I already have in roaming, and overall fun in WvW? Or should I look to play another class or adjust one I already have?

Thanks

I used to main a thief. In fact, I have two lvl 80 thief with different builds. But like you, I was a bit tired of feeling squishy. So I tried out the warrior and now it’s my main. Warriors is fun and I have an easier time going 1vX with him than I do on my thief. While the thief has stealth for escaping bad situation, warriors can do so as well with his greatsword mobility skills. In the past, warriors were terrible and free kills if they roam. Today, warriors can hold their own in duels. In fact, I have an easier time beating thieves on my warrior than I do on my thief. Warriors are fun. You have to try them out yourself to know if it’s for you. I recommend go with the standard mace/shield and greatsword combo. It’s pretty good for roaming.

I am a thief main but I’ve been playing my warrior in sPvP and from what I can see, this class basically has it all except for stealth.

It’s just very solid in all aspects. It’s just too easy to play and a bit boring.

Last night I bounced around between warrior, and ranger for like 6 hours trying to decide which one to go with. I find the ranger more fun but the warrior more powerful any advice you guys can give?

Play w/e you find more fun.

While there are some viability differences depending on content in question, there is no meaningful power requirement to complete any task. I have personally not encountered any class negativity (to my or other classes) in any of the game aspects except for CoF speedruns several months back – and since you ask the question rather then picking fotm class, I d say you are not a min-maxer and wouldnt care for playing with them anyway.

Problem is Ranger becomes terribly boring in endgame while Warrior is the opposite, boring in leveling phase and fun in endgame.

Also, Anet hates Rangers since GW1.
They make them the weakest / least wanted class for some never-explained reasons.

warrior is a in your face high dps class learn some builds and practice spvp will be good for this as will duels to gain some experience I gained my experience 2 days dueling individual people / classes then I did in playing wvw as a zerg. once you get good it will become rather fun.

warrior is the most popular class atm.

Just try it out? Warrior is the most loved class at this moment, just play it and you will know why

My main is a Ranger, Warrior is only 65 at this point. However, I feel like I have better control of my DPS with the Warrior. The Ranger is very pet dependent for DPS and the Pet AI isn’t exactly right. There are issues and when the creep up the Ranger’s DPS suffers.
