This class needs more viable 5's builds
got agree if you i cant stand the faceroll greatsword build, i feel like a noob but is the only way to use a warrior in spvp, you can do a tanky/disable build but a guardian can do that in a better way , the support warrior with shouts can be done and used but wy do that when you can take a elementalist for group support or a enginer for conditon removals/stabilty/stealth med packs and etcs.
hammer and mace are fine, they can be used prety well, the are just hard to fit in Spvp teams, you got take out a hoaming or a semi holder and them but a warrior on that place, 2 things can happen the warrior stay and wait on one point and become a semi holder going some times for the midle points(clock/keep/Graveyard) or he stand still on the graveyard and help the holder.
both things can be done by other class,easir and without losing mobility.
the point is greatsword is now the supreme spec for spvp.
I completely agree with you. As much as I dont want to be a GS warrior, I keep going back to it because it’s the best for mobility and damage. I’ve even had to go to a more defensive GS build because teams are starting to focus fire as soon as they see a GS warrior.
off topic but i wanna ask you two this.. when using frenzy, does stomping not work only half of the time? like you have to stand there for a second later to make sure it goes through.
sometimes it does happen,i usualy stay more 0,5s and they are finished.
I’ve seen the odd rifle warrior who seems to do quite a bit of damage (with raw power this is) not sure if they are just running it with the greatfaceroll or have a separate build set out for it. It’s kinda hard to judge how warriors stand at the moment since basically 100% of them are all about charging at you and blowing HB.
I think pretty much the same; Against good teams i’m no longer a damage dealer, i’m a baiter with high mobility. I just use Rush and Whirlwind attack to escape and kite my enemies into my friends. Gets old quickly.
Squishy HB warrior is just such an easy target to kill against a stacked team of mesmers, guardians and thiefs (Which are now the majority of warzones). Also tanky speccs just are not nearly as good as guardian’s.
EDIT: Warrior is probably only playable because HB-Damage is completely absurd.

as did i, but like almost anything else they go down in seconds to the greatsword. needing both kiting and offensive utilities, and not having enough room for them, doesn’t make rifles that great imo.
