Guild Wars 2

This thread is about tournament PvP. I don’t care if the warrior is fine in PvE/WvW/hot-join.

Is anyone else concerned by how useless the warrior is in tPvP?

As long as conquest is the only game mode, the warrior will only have one role: melee burst. However, the thief is currently better at filling that role due to his ability to surprise targets with a teleport (vs. the predictable and avoidable bull’s rush) and to disengage from a fight with stealth/teleport (giving the thief significantly higher survivability), while dealing equal or higher damage.

There is no other role that the warrior can fill. Balanced specs (where the warrior excels somewhat) have proven to be significantly less efficient than specialized roles in conquest mode.

Good idea. That can be a new skill type, “cheers”. The devs don’t even have to worry about balancing it (not like they would anyway)!

If you think warrior sucs in tpvp than you probably been playing it wrong..
greatsword have a lot of skills that deals aoe damage and with leg specialist your greatsword throw skill can immobilize, not to mention gs no 3 spin and hundred blade can also deal cone area damage.

Hammer build warrior have lots of toughness and have aoe cc and cripple
( immobilize if traited ), hammer no 4 is also an aoe interrupt.
Warriors can also revive faster than thief and they have stability.

It all depends on the player and their liking. I can see a lot potential for warrior in tpvp if well played.

Very few teams still use a warrior. The problem with melee warrior is that he gets cc’d too easily in a group fight. It’s very difficult for a warrior to disengage from a fight after he’s entered it.
