Guild Wars 2

I’ve been trying to get into my warrior lately since I got it up to 80 through some fluke and have no idea what I’m doing. It seems I just can’t stay alive when I get into melee with a boss. My other classes are a guardian, which has near constant protection up and all the healing I need to survive in a melee without much effort, and more ranged based classes which don’t have the issue of being in the enemy’s face. I figure part of it has to do with dodging big attacks, but enemies don’t give a whole lot of warning and half the time I’m struggling to see the animation through all the particle effects.

Considering I’m not even using a full glass cannon build (and it seems like my damage is suffering as a result) I’m wondering what I can do from a play style perspective that will help me stay alive longer in general and perhaps allow me to move more towards more damage output.

Also this is all for PvE.

Stay behind boss, when he turns his ugly face at you dodge in front to be behind him again.
Use signet of stamina to have more dodges.
Use shield if you need.
CC boss if you can – you may not stun him but intterupt works on some abilities.
Focus your attention on boss, watch his move and learn pattern.

Try to dodge and move out of Aoes. Pve bosses are easy. sure sometimes ill get rifle or lb as second weapon, as im not in the stat to go full melee. at fotm 48, still zerker with shout heal build melee bosses all day long. 38 ofc full zerker hehe

but i have to say that guardian is generally a easier class to melee then warrior. some times i just felt tired as a warrior.
