I really like longbow, it’s kinda slow but it is an awesome siege weapon. The auto attack is worthless of course, but the other abilities are quite nice, good for dungeons and group events as well. Only need 10 points in tactics to get the range to 1200.
If you want to solo roam though, you have to roll a thief or mesmer. In the past rangers were good for that too, but not anymore. I’m not sure why people often name warrior in the same breath with thief and mesmer, we really can’t compare to those two.
Warrior is just really fun in pve though. I’m sure in the future when there come more dungeons, more areas, more pve content, warrior will be more wanted again. For a while there was BS + Frenzy + 100B, but then people realized how easy it is to avoid, and how it only works once a minute, and it got old and obsolete quickly.
We don’t really have anything else for pvp.. I guess the greatsword has some use because of mobility, but it can’t actually down anyone. Warriors just aren’t made for pvp… you don your knight’s armor (power/precision/toughness) and you do pve content, if you want to pvp you have to play another profession, you cannot pvp with warrior anymore, it only worked at the start when people didn’t know their professions that well yet. Now warrior is just a free kill, easily kited or bursted down.
If you want pvp points for monthly, wear a longbow and join the zerg, get five kills and return to pve. It will get boring and pointless since there’s no pve endgame of course.
For me it is quite suitable, since I find the spiritual energy (mostly anger- and ego- energy) that gets exchanged during pvp, very uncomfortable, I prefer pve now. I don’t think I’ll do pvp again until I have a friend to play with so we can roam together. I’m going to focus on getting that legendary greatsword, maybe even the special one that changes during day and night. I don’t think anyone can grind as well as a warrior with a greatsword.
