Guild Wars 2

Warrior is a fun class, one of my most played actually. Usually I’m not the one to jump on the forums and go “USHUASUHAS CLASS IS BROKEN” and I certainly won’t present myself like that, but warrior is not a good profession in tpvp. it is outclassed by other professions at what it’s supposed to be good at.

-Greatsword/Hammer, a very hard hitting build and probably our best right now, is quite telegraphed and lacks range. This wouldn’t be so bad, but with the abundance of blocks and blinds in this meta, warrior struggles to be that designated melee class

-Rampage, an elite I enjoy but didn’t quite like for forcing many warriors into being “rampage bots.” It was kind of our way to stay relevant, and even though a nerf is ok, now there is no reason to take an engineer over a warrior who also gets rampage. I know there is also a chance to get tornado, but given the abundance of utilities the meta engineer has (especially the elixers), why take rampage when you can take rampage and moa?

-I went into detail on this on another thread, but comparing guardians to warriors, guardians are much more versatile. Think of most builds, bunker, condition, power, guardians have a superior build in nearly every category. There isn’t a solid bunker warrior build due to trait layouts, condition warriors are a bit underpowered as burns are more threatening than bleeds and stability completely shuts down the mace confusion build, warriors do have rampage over power guardians, but outside that again, blocks, blinds and similar damage output.

We are the weapon masters, I love this class, I just think it is struggling to find a role right now in the competitive scene, which is a shame. Maybe the berserker traitline will fix this, but what do you think?

They HAVE been relevant. It’s not hard to play Warrior when you have a Guardian backing you up because Warrior just scales so hard with boons from others.

Warrior is a DOTA character, okay with no team support at best but stupidly broken with actual team support. You know what the term for that is? That term is called “Carry” in which case they can do damage or point hold causing your team to win the game.

Learn to land high casting channels and casting times, because by your logic you are pretty much saying d/d ele is balanced when in reality this game should not be balanced around d/d ele effort in any form. It just feels you want the old hambow back which isn’t even the real solution.

That’s how it was from day 1 except the shoutbow meta and it only became way better today.

Can’t buff Warrior and make it easier just because people don’t know how to play one.

There are good warriors, but the profession itself is outclassed. I’m not trying to sound rude, but what does a warrior bring that other classes can’t? I played shoutbow back then, never really enjoyed hambow (loved celestial axe last year).

I miss the versatility though, I’ve always disliked using the greatsword, I can acknowledge it’s good but I always liked to play more the tanky support roles. With the trait layout, I feel like were kinda forced into taking the gs/hammer build. Maybe I’m missing something, but wheres the good banner builds, shout builds, condition builds that aren’t outclassed by other professions?

Warrior is bad and need buff

No let’s keep Warrior bad and a free kill for everyone in spvp and keep them the 2nd best roamer in wvw in the game.
