I had a chance to sit down and talk with Rytlock during my time in the mists. He said he got tired of ANET nerfing warriors and decided to switch.

When I asked him to elaborate on what he meant by nerfing warriors. He just said that ANET threw them under the bus and he got tired of it because he does no damage now.

Rytlock went on to talk about how the Blood Legion has lost a lot of their warriors over the last 9 months to the Iron Legion. It appears they all changed class to Engineer.

Finally Rytlock said that ANET doesn’t know how to balance their own game and that if he hadn’t of learned how to play Reverent that he was going to quit the game.

not sure if joking, even if, ppl r gonna get the wrong idea

warrior is on top in every game mode, so the few nerfs were necessary, the only rly heavy nerf altho was the adrenaline one, they shoulda make the adrenaline drain after combat drain after 10 or 15 s, not right away

Just can repeat myself – PvE wise warrior is still (together with engi and ele) masterrace. You can either go full damage for a good amount of 10k solo dps, or go full support and buffing allies while having a solo dps of about 7k. Hambow in PvP still rocks and WvW chilling-way-to-go is also war. Just because the damage isn’t anymore at ele/ingi/thief level, doesn’t mean they’re bad. They are just fair now.

Warrior isn’t master race in pve, they haven’t been in a long time.

Thief and Ele DPS is so much higher that you can’t put warrior on the same level.

Holy kitten I’m so guilty of this.

Love the theme of the topic though, genuinely lol’d. On a serious note, the only thing upsetting about warrior is its lack of ingenuity. Pop stances, rely on healing signet, stay in your opponent’s face, miss your highly telegraphed burst skill then die (assuming your opponent knows what to dodge and when to dodge it). Still love the class, but it’s a free kill roaming the borderlands.

And good groups don’t want warriors more than thieves in dungeons. Pugs do.

Most inconveniences that cost time in dungeons can be resolved from stealthing with thieves or porting the party with a mesmer.

Warriors have some of the lowest personal DPS out of all classes, but some of the best offensive support. In other words, they do trash damage but make everybody hit better.

Warriors have some of the lowest personal DPS out of all classes, but some of the best offensive support. In other words, they do trash damage but make everybody hit better.

You are full of it. Most of the warrior’s skills damage coefficients are at or above 1.0. A good chunk of them are around 3.0 and they have the highest coefficient of any profession skill in the game at 5.5 total.

And on top of these neat little numbers, wars have:

  • Highest HP and armor tier.
  • Most weapon combinations.
  • Rivaled in best mobility with thief
  • Most access to control effects. Total available is 21. Max amount of CC access a warrior can have at a time is 15 control effects with Hammer, Dual Mace or Mace/shield, Bull’s Charge, Kick, Stomp, Death from Above and Rampage. (Earthshaker, Staggering Blow, Backbreaker, Rifle Butt, Skull Crack, Pommel Bash, Tremor, Shield Bash, Repeating Shot, Whirling Strike, Bull’s Charge, Kick, Stomp, “Fear Me!”, Kick while drowning, Hammer Toss while downed, Death from Above and Rampage. Rampage has Uppercut, Kick, Throw Boulder and Seismic Leap.)
  • Most access to stunbreaks. (A warrior can have access to all of their stun breaks at a time by equipping Shrug It Off, Defy Pain, Last Stand, Stomp, Dolyak Signet and Frenzy. Guard comes in second with their 3 utilities and Shielded Mind totaling up to 4 maximum at a time.
  • Best “Burst Heal”. By that, I mean how much HP is healed in one go, not healing over time. (Healing Surge)
  • Best Weapon Swap traits. (Fast Hands and Brawler’s Recovery)
  • Most access to passives. (Dual Wielding, Berserker’s Might, Burst Precision, Berserker’s Power, Dual Wield Agility, Blademaster, Adrenal Health, Dogged March, Cleansing Ire, Empower Allies, Empowered, Slashing Power, Attack of Opportunity, Short Temper, Precise Strikes, Critical Burst, Deep Strike, Furious Speed, Furious, Rending Strikes, Last Chance, Thick Skin, Sure Footed, Vigorous Return, Cull The Weak, Defy Pain, Spiked Armor, Leg Specialist from spear auto, Desperate Power, Stronger Bowstrings, Shrug It Off, Phalanx Strength, Thrill of the Kill, Warrior’s Sprint, Destruction of the Empowered, Heightened Focus, 6th Signet access (because everyone has 5 save one profession))

I quitted year ago back when everyone been complaining about how op war is. Came back not so long ago and decided i dont want to play warrior anymore due how simple and boring he is.

Im actually looking for a class with high skill cap that will reward me for mastering it. Warrior is too passive for me. Also tbh i always wanted to play a soldier class that uses offensive magic (guard magic is defensive paladin style).

So please, if you enjoy yours passive boring soaking up damage punchbag called warrior its cool for me, i dont care. Howered dont imply that someone here looking for an easier to play class just cause warrior dindt meet their expectations.

I dont know, maybe warrior will receive soon some deep gameplay via class specialization and will offer more than F1, tricks like other classes etc, but as it stands now i dont see it happening.

-I have no idea whats the warrior state in duels no (probably the olny part of pvp i care about) as i have terrible lags in general on this game (EU latency problems)

-In spvp it seems hes more of a support condi class (shoutbow) right now – im just curious why? oh w8…… Hambow seems to be dead, at least i dindt saw anyone running it.

-In wvw i dont see melee trains with warriors anymore either – again im curious why?

-In dungeons his role is down to support party with banners as his dps is mediocre. Outside of banners he doesnt have anything else to offer.

I’m just here to say that 71k evis is impossible to do on anything but an ambient creature WHICH the editor of that video said was edited into the video. AKA sir you just got trolled. And as for your points above, I’m just gonna say that while they are true somewhat, you can’t have most of them at the same time or it is simply not viable to run them. Like who would want to run a full cc warrior besides for that one boss in coe that has to be cc permanently for speed runs?

-insert festival of keks here-

Erm excuse me but do you have any idea what DPS even stands for? DAMAGE PER SECOND.

Against medium targets in a solo setting it’s around 7.8k and against heavily armored targets like Lupicus/Berserker Abomination it’s not even 6k. This is also assuming you have the best gear/runes/sigils/food and can maintain an optimal rotation.

10k is ridiculous to claim lmfao. That’s like, staff ele burst with ice bow + lightning storm ridiculous. In groups maybe, but when you’re in a solo setting you maintain on average between 14-16 might with a GS + a/m warrior in strength runes including the downtime of fury and banner.

Also why are you bringing up defensive traits/hammer cc skills when we’re talking about warrior’s usefulness PvE? What is this, a joke?

Also, why are you replying to that guy with a video of someone hitting a 71k eviscarate on an AMBIENT MOB? How is that supposed to prove anything?

Actually was so op that even with blindfold they can cleave everyone down!
In exchange for the warrior’s blindfold nerf with the revenant, they will have all their weapon skills cleave for 600 range like the staff guardian. They also took it one step further and instead of guardian spirit weapons and virtue of justice, they giving revenant attacks explosion dmg everytime they hit a target for 180 range!

I find it pathetic as a main guardian the people whine over warrior nerfs I can easily put up more damage with my warrior than on my guard w/o breaking my fingers and using chronometer to time stuff. Warriors use the heaviest armor, the highest healthpool, and an incredibly passive playstyle yet they want to compare their damage to elementalists who forgo any chance of surviving a hit when they go zerk due to 11k hp and light armor, or engineer that is incredibly active to attain max dps. The other class that ties with warriors on healthpool leads the Speed Runs Most Unwanted List.

Health and armor isn’t everything, it’s not even the majority of things. Utility plays a large role. Thief may have a crappy healthpool but they can evade just about anything by simply spamming buttons. Thiefs are jumping all over the map, while warrior has to either pop a stance, use up their two dodgeroles, or facetank it. Not to mention the massive amount of blind spam they have access to. Guardians are the same deal. Blinds, aegis, protection, all compensate guardian for their crappy health pool. As for ele’s, they’re the king and queens of utility, as they have four different attunements and a crap ton of o-kitten cards. Whether it be PvE or PvP they reign supreme. PvE is easy as crap, so highest damage class is always going to be the best there. In PvP, Celestial ele has more sustain than a warrior and does more damage too…So I don’t really see what you’re getting at.

If you are going on about PvP that’s not my forte I was pretty much talking about PVE. But anyways from what I have played the warrior role in PvP is either Disrupting with hambow or banner bunker. You are complaining about other classes unique mechanics as if warriors didn’t have their own. (berserker stance, Endure pain, 3second block hard and soft CC) And I appreciate the ad hominem, but everyone who plays both guard and warrior will tell you that it’s harder to play zerker guard than it is to play zerker warrior.

None of warriors utility skill slots are spammable. That’s the difference. Warrior can pop all three stances, and gain complete immunity for four seconds out of 60. And Shoubow (the current meta build) doesn’t even use stances. No one uses shield as it means you need to sacrifice warhorn. And warrior shield is just a far inferior version to engineer’s gear shield. Bunker guardians work so much better. All it takes is one pewpew ranger to wreck a bunker warrior, while a guardian is just going to place a wall of reflection and laugh as the ranger can’t do anything about it. Warriors are good for team support with shoutbow, they’re poor bunkers because they have very little to mitigate damage. They get hit by some zerker burst and they’re probably already down for the count. They’re great at dealing with sustained auto attacks, but that’s about it. If a group focuses one down, they’re going to melt. A guardian has invulnerabilities to deal with it. And is far better at dealing with ranged pressure. And while it may seem like their damage will be terrible, they have retaliation and near-perma burning if they build for it.

Actually, I don’t think it is. Zerker guardian is actually viable. Zerker warrior just gets obliterated. In PvP. You see zerk meditation guardians all the time, zerk warriors are very rare. Hambow and Shoutbow run either soldiers or celestial. Occasioanlly you’ll see some non-meta zerk warriors running GS/Rifle or some combination of the two. But they always suck.

In pve, as I said, it’s braindead easy, and both warrior and guardian are easy to play in it.

As someone that’s played warrior for close to 2 years, elementalist for roughly a year now, and guardian for just about a month…

My guardian feels like it’s invincible. It has a ridiculous amount of blocks, can literally spam blinds, has high armor and despite having almost no access to fury and might, deals close to the same damage in a solo setting as my warrior if I’m able to maintain scholar bonus. Not only that but it’s easier to maintain rotations and even has reflects/projectile blocks.

On my ele I’m almost able to kill some things twice as fast as I could on warrior. Staff ele is ridiculously powerful, and in any circumstance where staff isn’t great for and I need more defensive utility I can take D/F and still deal waaaaay more damage than I can on warrior. And I get permanent vigour provided I decide to take the trait.

Some of the posts I see on here really overestimate the danger of playing with glass ele in PvE and overestimate warrior’s ability to faceroll everything. Yes, it has way higher base health. Duh. That doesn’t mean anything, however, in any encounter unless it involves 1-shot mechanics heavily based on RNG (i.e. Lupicus’s phase 2-3 transition where random AoEs land that hit 9k each).

Warrior has to sacrifice a huge portion of its personal DPS which is extremely low as it is in order to take along any extra defensive utility and even if they do, many of them are on fairly long cooldowns.

I’m perfectly fine with these tradeoffs, however — all that I want is to have a reason to continue playing my warrior. They shouldn’t be so weak by comparison with the other classes, and they truly are.

Revenant ofc. Have you seen hammer? Its has higher dps than your gs hahah. On top of that its a range weapon. And melee staff? Have mercy, i dont want to run into one as war.

And while necro is weak, i completely disagree with ranger being weak as well. Properly played pewpew ranger in open field in wvw is unkillable 1v1 – tested by me, 6 days of solo roaming never lost 1v1 and i pulled out some 1v2 as well. And mind you that i dont use ascended stuff on him nor any food. Its much harder to do that on a warrior.

Probably, Rytlock saw the bunch of bad people complaining about the warrior,allthough the warrior is part of the meta in top pvp teams and speedclearing.
After reading those tears ,he was so ashamed that he quit.

Not even the necros in the necro formus whine as much as the people here and they have valid reasons to complain about pve.

Hi, from the Necromancer forum. If you want to play a tank in lighter armor, change to a Necro! Moar challenge! Second health bar! Do it! I know you are dying to try it. Hulk smash! (^_-)

So are you claiming that I’m a bad warrior? Interesting.

I was actually reffering to those people who are still dreaming about the old frenzy + bullcharge warrior with greatsword / hammer in pvp,crying about that they aren’t viable and have to run shoutbow instead of their lovely wvw build.
Since you never have taken any step in competive pvp and probably you never will, the statement doesn’t apply for you.
The world doesn’t revolve only around you, so you don’t have to feel adreesed all the time.
With references to PvE-Speedclearing we just have different opinions about the current state of the warrior and I still think you just tend to see things too dramatic, but think whatever you want to think. I guess we already have exchanged our point of view, so no need to discuss about that in the further time again.To try to answer your question, I’ve to admit that I’m not able to give a clear answer.There are a lot of great warriors in PvP who just suck in PvE as well as there a plenty of warriors in PvE who are terrybad in PvP. So it always depends on the perception.
But I never claimed you are bad.

Not even the necros in the necro formus whine as much as the people here and they have valid reasons to complain about pve.

Summed up pretty well, by the way

It’s funny how you see warrior community not happy with the warrior, what are you guys gonna play now? You should go in others forums and see how the ranger and necro community tell to reroll warrior, they’ll come here only to find what? Warrior is allright, what’s difficult now is everybody know how to fight against a warrior. Other than that it’s really strong, stronger than ranger and necro.

Surely, you’re joking. There’s no talk in the ranger forum of rolling warrior. I put my warrior on the shelf and rerolled condi ranger and it’s WAY more powerful than warrior ever was. It’s not even close.

Rytlock didn’t realize Warrior was still OP? :o

Or is Revenant just that good?
