Guild Wars 2

Hi!
So i could finally made up my mind after like a whole week of debate, and rolled a warrior (returned after a half year of pause), to start from scatch.
Looked up the Legendary selection, “builds” and availability on forums, and seems fine. Also found a LOT of cool artworks on warrior, that inspired me, so i started it…After like 4-5 lv…i realized : This is it? Jump in smack and win?

I have an lv 80 thief and some 50 ish other toons, so i understand the game is not like this, but now i start to understand those who say combat is boring and kittenedly simple.
So i dont know…it is! To me atleast. Is it the Warrior? Or the low lv?
Now i am like at 34, run 2-3 Ac, and it was terrible. I was constantly dead, i felt useless anyway. Not to mention we constantly had 2-3 warrior in the party and that felt horrible. I didnt feel unique at all.

Even so, classes change at 80 a lot. There comes the gear and a lot of roles that can be taken up with mixing traits. But for warrior, it felt to me that, no matter what i wizard up with traits, it wont differ. I will be dooing the same : Jump in smack them, jump out, shoot shoot shoot boring thing i am dooing now. SPARTANS WHATS YOUR ROLE? KITE AND DMG KITE AND DMG !!!
Seems to be a pure example to me how Gw2 combat and class system can failt. Dont get me wrong, as Ele i actually enjoyed the game…for some time atleast.
So i dont know, i think i am supposed to love warrior. I must be since i constantly feel the urge to play it, instead of the ranger i rerolled to. But when i log in, and paly like 10 min, i cant force myself to continue, i log of and go play lol, saying : ill finish 1-2 match and think things over…and i end up on forum instead of playing in the end, because i am clueless now, what class to roll.
I mean, yes look does mean a LOT to me, and Warriors are propably the best looknig class curently. (atleast to my taste). It can use guns, that have a really good look, exspecially love the predator. (to bad engineers use rifles as a shotgun, when they use them at all) . There are many cool skins for shields, Gs and axes and there is Bolt that looks amazing to. Not to mention Heavy armor looks the best so faar in my opinion.

So i dont know…anyone any ideas, or opinions on this?
I know, “play what is the most fun”…sadly all classes are off to me now.
(And sorry for my terrible english in advance.)

Engineer is a blast for pve. I have a lot of diving into groups of mobs and tossing bombs around, putting myself in dangerous situations.XD

If you think warrior is boring, try going in the Mists with it. It will be a little frustrating, but it can be a lot of fun.

Warrior has some pretty good build variety. I didn’t see you mention what you’re looking for in a class; otherwise I’d offer you my opinion and some direction. So what exactly are you wanting to do?

Now that you mention it, i misght should have done that.
Whell i think…my priority is a bit complicated.
1, I think i want something, that gives me the feel, i am a part of the Gw world. When i see the Norn intro and the Guy with the axe and shield, i can picture myself as part of it.
Or when the krati swim up in hordes and you have to defend the beach…not sure what class can i picture there. But i think its a tipical stand alone hero tipe character, like warrior or guardian. ( the thing is strange, trough i find those 2 best as theme for that, but in gameplay ele,necro and mesmer offered the best as stand alone to me)
2, As second i would put the looks. The whole reson i dont play engineer is the “kits” and because they dont realyl even use the weapons they can. (not like they have so many). While warriors can use a lot of weapons, and you can create a lot of styles and themes for your character. Not to mention the heavy armor. And warrior is the only class (besides engineer) that can use rifles.
3, My third place is the gameplay. My priority is world map events, dungeons (but only for obtaining gear and item skins) but i am sure i will spend a lot of time in those “random arena”s. Or how you call them? Spvp? Where its 10v10? Propably…Maybe later when i got my character a bit maxed ill participate in gvg that is coming soon.

I guess thats all. I wanted to say :“ranged support” but i realized since bynow, thats not the same like in Lol or other mmorpgs.
There are many things i like in other classes like, collectible pets on ranger, or the fast phased combat on rogue, or the engineers all araund support, but in the end, i keep ending up rerolling anything i start.

In PvP, Warriors are definitely not boring to play. You’re always on your toes, in and out of battle.

Well the warrior can bring nearly unparalleled offensive support to a fight. So if you want to play an Axe/Shield Rifle wielding warrior passively increasing your allies’ power, bellowing offensive shouts, and tactically choosing banners; all while simultaneously healing your party, you can do that.

If you want to run something more standalone, we have great damage which helps dispatch your foes quickly; combine that with a few additional sources of healing (shouts, sitting on Adrenal Health, Mango Pies) and you can be a regenerating Axe/Axe Berserker that grows more damaging as he gets closer to death.

Or a Sword/Shield Knight who knocks his foes around the battlefield inflicting deep wounds which slowly bleed your opponents dry until you deliver the Final Thrust.

Or a combination of all of these, or something totally original.

The only limitations in PvE are those that are imposed on every class. We can only have so many stats and so many traits. It isn’t until you get into PvP where some builds become preferable, but that holds true in every MMO I’ve ever played.

Also, I don’t know if you’re a member of a community/guild, but if you aren’t, I’d encourage you to shop for one. Sometime it’s hard to feel like a part of the world when you have no one to quest/dungeon run/pvp with; no group to bolster, no friends to defend, no heros to lead.

I perfectly agree. Trough, its quite dissapointing me to see so many other warriors besides me.
Exspeically in dungeons, where usualyl end up with 2 additional warrior.
Thank you for the advice. I will try getting to 80 before there is to moch content to catch on.

It really depends on your build. The recently popular mace/shield – GS is pretty entertaining because you have a lot of tools to counter your opponent so it keeps you plugged in constantly. If you’re quick, constantly paying attention, if you’re able to read your opponent then it’s a really rewarding play style. Other builds though with other weapon sets, and particularly the pure damage weapon sets do tend to get pretty boring.
