Guild Wars 2

As the title says. You could say I’ve pretty much given up hope about warrior. Since I first started playing medieval/fantasy games, I’ve always chosen a warrior-type class. It fits me like a glove, and in GW2, this has been the case also… up til now.

I’ve never been interested in running Zerker build, cause I like to be somewhat of a tank or at least be able to sustain some damage while dishing out a acceptable amount of punishment to my enemies. But it seems to me that though it has always been popular (and for a reason) it has never been “required”- well, at least to this day.

Now, there are thieves who have perma-stealth and almost perma-blind, eles that have escapability and AoE one can only dream of, necros who can now punish you for even moving around, guardians with better sustain AND better dps than us, rangers who can put you in place and evade your every attack, and even get up again when downed lightning fast, and engis who can CC the kitten out of you and stack so much conditions in the same time that you can (as a cond-remove warrior) only stand and take the hits til’ your HP bar runs out. Mesmer is the only class that I cannot notice a difference with, but they are still a pain in the kitten for obvious reasons.

And I’m in no way yelling “Plz N3rf teh odr cl4ss3s, I wantz mai Warz to RULEZ THEM ALL”, rather am I sad that I can’t do anything against anything anymore, unless I have zerker gear and zerker build that is. And then maybe. Only maybe.
We warriors are forced into one narrow path, and build diversity is an expression soon to be forgotten by everyone playing this class. The rest has to taste the kittening donkey balls and play in PvE all day long, because this kid isn’t capable of playing with the other kids in the schoolyards. This kid is an outsider who is doomed to play by himself in lowly fractals and occasional dungeons. No WvW or sPvP for YOU!

So bye bye my dear warrior, and hello… guardian or whatevs.

TL;DR

Warrior is lost. kitten you Anet.

Yep… this class is the bottom of the pit …the end!
We had one so so good build that was somewhat working end they NERF the kiten of it./….why?…why ? why?…..
Just remove this class from the game..is worthless…
I watch the J .Sharp promising how they will help warrs …end what we got?
NERF… * WE gotta be careful not to make warrior OP* …..whatever
Nice one Anet….
I,m done with this forsaken class….Leveling Guardian us we speak…………………….
Oh yeah… next patch make the thief’s….. Perm stealth…we don’t need to see them at all…..

I think this class is great.

switched my main to thief a month ago. So much better. I’ve given up on warrior. It won’t be getting better any time soon.

GW2 is mostly a PvE game, anyway.

Still having fun on my warr,killing like theres no tomorrow…Know your class etc etc…

Still, even in PvE, zerker is the best way to go. We don’t have Heal Power, so if we go high Vitality we just kitten ourselves because in the end no heal will suffice. Toughness? No idea, you will just get all the aggro and because you have no boons and no sensible heals (unless you feel like punching enemies with the same force as a 3-year old) you will just run around, trying to stay alive. Or die.

So because you want to be good at SOMETHING and not be outclassed by every single class in everything, you have to focus on dps. Which you do best with full zerker. Sure, you can take some Knights, or maybe even Valkyries, but who are you kidding? You are just meant to stand by the side and wave your kitten (GS) at everything.

And no it’s not “mostly” about PvE. WvW is of huge interest to me and many of my friends playing this game, to the extent that WvW was the only thing we did (do) in GW2 for a long time. But since the latest patches, things have been going downhill. I used to be able to withstand backtabbing thieves and CC-own them with my hammer. No more. I used to cleanse conditions like a boss mid-zerg, but now they are so easily re-applied and high-damage that it doesn’t help. I used to chase enemy invaders with my friends and lock them all down with my Leg Specialist for 1 second, which was enough. No more. Before, I could do all this, because I sacrificed a lot of damage in favor of CC and support in smaller groups or zergs. So in no way did I have the “best” warrior build before, but I managed to actually be a true support warrior, and people didn’t complain “Uhh dude, whai r u not zzzerker buildz0rz??”.

But now… Survivability, though it wasn’t the strongest warrior attribute before, is totally worthless now. Conditions are not worth it. CC for warrior does the opposite of what a melee class requires most of the time. Healing Power? HAH! Dps is the only thing left for us. Which is boring. Not dps in itself, but the lack variation.

I’ve played warrior since launch, and tried different build so yeah, I know the class really well. I’m in no way a “hardcore” players, but my friends and people in my guild appreciated having me with them in Fractals, Dungeons and WvW. (Warrior hasn’t had a place in sPvP, less so in tPvP, since I don’t remember when, so let’s not even talk about that.) I began to love the hammer halfway through my warrior “career”, and decided to go full hammer/shout warrior. Which went really, really well even after the nerf… up til now. Which feels strange, because even though I knew my build wasn’t optimal, I had no problems whatsoever if I played well. But now I’ve noticed such a drastic change after the latest patches that I feel like a lvl 40 character or something… can’t do anything anymore, at least not in WvW. I even sense some trouble in PvE oddly enough.

i’ve switch main to mesmer. and its been a whole new world with pink and butterflies ever since .
warrior is easier to play on easier content/mode. it is a LOT harder on harder content/mode. because it has a very little and limited options.

Well tbh,all i play is wvwvw.Im pretty bored of spvp in general,same thing each match.And since the latest patches,i def not feel weaker at all.Cleansin ire is doing its job really well with the removal of 3 extra conditions on top of being able to remove 6 conditions on the fly allready,when traited for restor. strength and using mending.I do a crazy amount of dmg with hammer/sword axe,and have a nice gap closer wich now cripples/immobilizes my target when traited for leg specialist ( i dont agree with the internal cd on leg specalist though,unneeded ) .Final thrust from sword is also something you might want to try out…

Ive been able to hit for 10k+ allready ( when used at the right time,it usually ends up with the player going down,)it can be a bit hard to land though since the animation basically consists of 2 moves…lift sword up…stab infront,you can miscalculate that one easily.Ive always been using hammer in wvwvw,and even that is buffed slightly now,some moves feel a bit faster,im still not sure if its needed to keep 4 to immobilize yourself..but w/e.All in all im still having fun playing my warr,n i certainly dont feel nerfed at all.I honestly think alot of people are overreacting,sicne they simply copy builds from other people and when they get touched they got no clue on what to do next…and start making threads Like the “Delete your warrior” kind of posts…

My hammer/shout build is my own, though I discovered later that it’s very much like Captain Hammer build, only WvW-fitted. So about that, no problems with knowing my own class. As I said, I’ve been playing warrior since launch.
The thing with conditions is that even though I have Cleansing Ire, Rune of the Soldier with traited shouts, mending and ofc “Shake It Off”, they are so easily reapplied. And now that the necros got a boost (which they honestly needed, though), and with blindness being so ridiculously spammable, I’m helpless. I just feel that before, I could go all the way with conditions, because I didn’t need that much damage to come out a victor in WvW battles. Besides, I relied mostly on CC, and Leg Specialist was a nice bonus for that, but now with the cooldown, it feels like a waste, not to mention how useless it is now in battles vs more than one.

But yeah, I’ve played around with the “newborn” sword, and I like the cripple on Savage Leap, as well as Final Thrust’s respectable damage output. I’ve “l2p” with the “new” warrior… though it could be compared to, idk, like losing a leg and learning to live with that; but hey, at least I got an extra finger now!

No, warrior has become weaker and weaker for some time now… to the point that I’m ready to give up.

yeah i do have fun on my warrior in pvp, (against normal players) but if you would bring it to the next lvl. (after 1 year i would bring my warrior to the top.. get the feeling your are the best etc etc..) than you find out you cant do this.. there is no place for a warrior there.

My point is a necro can kill you without using a amulet…
You cant kill good thiefs.. perma stealth +healing
You cant kill good mesmers.. sooo much invul..
You cant kill good guardians.. too much sustain by healing and protection
You cant kill good engi… CC you to dead.
i kinda feel i am better against hunters and Ele’s after the patch.. but still a 50/50 chance..

Yeah no place for warriors.

So you’re saying you can’t kill good players? I’m seeing a trend here
