Guild Wars 2

I only PvE no PvP chat here

Playing as an Ele, im just by the ocean killing stuff. It takes me a good 15+ spells to kill a single NPC, meanwhile if I get hit 2-3 times im basically dead. Then I see a warrior run over with like 5 NPCs all hitting him. He does like 2-3 attacks with his great sword and they all die. Meanwhile hes only lost about 1/4 his HP.

Is it really that easy to play warrior in PvE? (if so count me in)

Yup, except I use a sword/ axe combo
Only lvl 21 though.

From my perspective, after working up an engi and thief to 80…. the warrior is leaps and bounds easier than either of those.

YMMV, but that’s my experience. I thought GS/rifle main loadout was easy, until i switched to dual axes….

… and almost fell out of my chair as my 21st level warrior is doing half the damage my 80th level engi pulls.

Warrior thus far has been the easiest toon to level up (full disclosure, haven’t messed with ranger or necro much, and the other classes are only in teens to 20’s).

There’s a certain “difficulty” threshold (I use the word loosely) after which glass greatsword/axe becomes almost completely useless. Below that threshold, it’s fast and fun.

Solo overworld, you’ll rarely cross that threshold. In scaled up group DE’s, you’ll reach it occasionally. In dungeons, you’ll be beyond it the majority of the time, and will be far better served by going ranged or tank (and frankly, Guardians make better tanks.)

Dislclaimer: tank does not mean you will just sit still taking hits. It means you’ll be actively avoiding damage through a combination of dodging, blocking, and shutting down enemies with cc, at the expense of damage and fun weapon combinations.

Lower levels with healing signet is funny, my friend went afk with healing signet and had 2 mobs fighting him to no avail.
