Hey guys
For the PvPers, will any of you be brave enough to compete on the League with Warrior?
I’m personally not sure yet, because it is really risky, but is one of my favourite classes.
I’m going with either Warrior or DragonHunter, I can go with both but I’m actually going to try to go with one class only. It will be a fun challenge
I absolutely intend to take my Warrior into ranked arena. I always have in the past, and I have no intention of stopping. Will I play Warrior exclusively? No. But that’s because I have fun with my Necro’s build. I have fun with my Engi’s build. I have fun with my Guard’s build. And I want to get better with my Mesmer. But I will mostly play my Warrior? Absolutely. It’s been my main since the beginning, and I want to continue to get better with it.
There’s also a case of professional pride. Some people upon seeing some of the advantages other classes have over Warriors, shift over to other classes, and are just frustrated that their Warrior isn’t as good. Me? I just take the route of “Okay, I have the shorter end of the stick here. Now excuse me while I still win with this.”
Is it possible I’ll lose more than I’ll win? It’s definitely possible. Will that stop me from learning from my defeats? Will that stop me from playing my favorite class, at the most competitive level that I can manage? Absolutely not.

Well, unless there are some serious balance changes today, I’ll probably be sticking to unranked anyways. In the 3 years I’ve been playing, this is my least favorite meta and I can’t say I enjoy any of the ‘good’ builds that actually succeed right now.
edit Patch notes came in. No balance patch. Looks like I got my answer. Either unranked or no PvP…starting to think the latter is the better option.
yea why not? i only really have problems when i get queued against the pro players cause their team comp is usually better and way more organized, but other than that you should be able to be fine in solo q
edit: nvm i don’t think theres soloq in leagues oh well pray a balance patch comes soon

If you thought we were called Warriors because we had a weapon in our hands you were wrong.
We’re Warriors because in times of hardship like these our best thrive. A good Warrior can still intimidate opponents. An amazing Warrior demands both fear and respect, more so than ever at this moment.

Bring it on, lads.
Someone’s been watching a bit too much Braveheart, lol.

can anet get more ridiculous or this is not even their final form yet? constant chill +, reaper form pulsing 3 stack of stability while our zerk form only 1 stack? seriously? DD jumping around like monkeys with evades + stealth while scrapper running around with a hammer, hammering people like nails in the wall… not to mention their reflection and evasion and shrinking abilities… lets not even touch on the pvp god class mesmers
wheres my so called “balance patch”? anet some answers please?
Got into Emrald, was playing mostly solo on Chrono and not having good luck with my teams. Decided to go with Berserker figuring that, since class makes no difference, I could play anything until I get a good string of teams.
Have some ups and downs playing zerkerberker, get to two pips then end up facing a full 5 man solo vs 5 man premade. We win the match for +3 pips, get into next tier.
well warrior is bad in pvp ad sec becous all other class have to many surv skills and warrior is only good in wvw and pve but in pvp it realy realy is lead down becous i soo this coming when the told us abut headbutt i soo it it was bad

Meh. In my experience it depends on what you’re facing. I can either destroy them and my team capitalizes on it, or they destroy my team and I can’t do anything to help :D
Lol I’ve been collecting a lot of Reaper tears recently on my berserker greataxe warrior it’s hilarious. Heatbutt→into zerker mode→decapitate→swap to gs + hydro sigil with 100b all before the stun ends wrecks them so bad. I’ve killed quite a few before they got time to even pop reaper shroud or when they popped it they had 10-15% hp. The hate I got is hilarious.
It’s still very possible to manage on a warrior but way less faceroll than any of the other elites, and tbh I feel like the only role we can fill now is a squishy roaming DPS where you want to blow the guy up fast and get out fast (gunflame is quite good at that despite the fact that it gets rekt when under focus most of the time) because once your stances are on CD you’re in a bad spot especially if you haven’t managed to put considerable pressure on them. I mean we don’t have the inherent tankiness of any of the other most played elites nor do we have the same point holding potential, that’s a bit of a problem in conquest. I mean a medi trapper DH/scrapper/reaper can stall on a point for A LONG time regardless of whether or not the fight is in their favor.
Tbh nowadays I just like to take a few hours and just queue unranked stronghold, makes for some more interesting plays than having to constantly walk on my toes when going near a point in fear of DH traps or having to face vuln, chill and poison stacking reapers.

So anyone crazy enough to do it?
I have two berserkers I play a lot, they can be potent but similar to a lot of builds, requires a more organized team now than ever.
The meta has shifted into being super bunkery, we have healing tempest, druids, bunker chronos, reapers, scrappers, other than DH and Rev most are bunkers and make it difficult.
Been soloqing with my war and mes, up to emerald tier 2 now, and it’s been a blast, I have way more fun on my war, and as others have said, there’s an amount of pride you get playing a class that isn’t considered OP against classes that are, and win.
Ive yet to get any complaints from either side though lol, which I think is a good thing.
I’ve played a full CC Warrior build with Soldiers (Hammer, Sword+Shield) and managed to collect more wins than losses. I think I went 7-3 overall. It is completely trash 1v1 but in teamfights it is great for denying resses, locking down opponents .
However as a bunker, reapers, chronos, scrappers, revenants, tempests, druids and guardians all do it better. That’s pretty much every class except thief lol.
I only use warrior for unranked and sometimes for 1v1-servers.
In ranked we have a great winrate and got rank 8 in guild lb at the moment.And I can promise you that this defintly wouldn’t be possible if anyone of us would have played warrior – warrior is just too bad and cripples your team.
well warrior is bad in pvp ad sec becous all other class have to many surv skills and warrior is only good in wvw and pve but in pvp it realy realy is lead down becous i soo this coming when the told us abut headbutt i soo it it was bad
Warrior is terrible in PvE. The top 5 professions in 99% of Pve content currently are
1) Team quickness.
2) Spotter/assassin presence
3) Break bar proficiency
4) Alacrity
5) Large hit boxes multi hitting.
Warrior provides only one of these, and is a very far second place to staff ele. Mesmer is the most demanded profession. DPS mules just aren’t needed currently and even without a PS/EA warrior a team can maintain 20+ stacks of might and 100% fury up time. Warrior is not needed anymore to maintain DPS benchmarks..they are especially not needed or wanted in higher level fractals.

So 180 precision or ferocity is good, but 180 power and/or 75% uptime on 170 power, precision, ferocity and condition damage isn’t worth it?
Or were you saying that scorched earth doesn’t multi-hit?
I started 4 days ago, and I’m halfway through sapphire solo q with a warrior. I think most people are just bad, and it isn’t targeted at warriors but just everyone in general. They need a easy class to carry them and can’t play well enough to carry on a warrior.

Impressive, but I have to disgree.
I’m half-way through sapphire too, and till now, only lost one game that the enemy team had a Warrior. I most been playing with DH and now Rev, and I felt it too. Team fights where there is more than 1 DH are impossible, you cannot maintain any stability to attack, then come the blinds and blocks…
I’ve played some games with Warrior, and got the archivements of the League with him, but gotta say it’s painful to watch, I felt carried every single win
You must really not be very good on warrior then and you sound like you need a DH or Rev to carry you both easy mode. . It’s most of the time people are on the ground because I either put them there or I was the largest contributing factor at putting them there and rarely do I lose 1v1s when holding points, even to DHs.
Usually Classes like DH, Rev, Engi, Mes get downed because of me when I show up and pop unblockables.
“Just press 2 to win all the dps was us cuz we’re a
warrior and we’re the best class” Eugene
You can pop 6 secs unblockables every 25 secs, it isn’t much when you have at least one of each of those classes in most comps… A lot of times more than one
I know that I’m not hte best n Warrior but I allways managed well, this is the first meta I’ve been strugling with, and I’m not the only one
well. You gain might when you enter berserk mode if it is by using headbutt then breaking the stun with F2 it’s a long might like 12 seconds. , and you gain stability and might when you break a stun. You gain 2 might when you swap weapons and you gain the might on hit from the rune. basically you can have like 5-10 might I know its little but there isn’t much better rune.
You dont take dogged march with this build the added -20% condi duration helps you.
This rune is a power based rune also, so it helps you hit harder.

I know the point of the Rune, but usually -20% don’t make much, it’s either the rune and the trait or none, because if it is for the might I may as well try Strength and maintain my might longer and hit harder in the process.
-20% condi duration barely makes a thing…, sad but true
It’s essentially GreatAxe with Durability, Marauder, Str/Def/Disc. Endure Pain and Signet of Might are interchangable depending on how much block the other team has, but what I have noticed is a profound amount of cleave pressure, and the universal boon procs from the set are always welcome, especially protection.
My general feel after playing it is that it is fairly mobile and an excellent +1 to float between points or decap. The shield and stances make for a fairly decent psuedo bunker but that’s not the intent of it.
It’s nothing new though, I’ll probably hit a limit with it, flip over to scrapper for a time, and get a feel on what my queue opponents are like before flipping back.
