Guild Wars 2

Just finished the storyline mission ‘The good fight’ (where you go against 2 fighters then 3 fighters then final boss) and took me 3 attempts to finish it with my axe/shield warrior. Even then it took tactics such as seperating each fighter and then beating them, as tying to fight them all together was suicide!

I had no problems on my Thief (DB then caltrops then invis -rinse and repeat) and my Ranger (let them focus on my bear while i kill them from afar) both were easy-ish compared to the warrior.
Am i missing something or is the warrior very squishy? (Lev 52 with Lev 52 gear)

Depends on your build and which weapons/gear you have equipped. Level 52 gear doesn’t tell anyone anything. If you have Fines/Masterworks/Rares equipped for a glass-cannon build, then you’ll lack survivability in the traditional sense.

I would argue that Warriors are one of the best and most versatile classes in PvE. It does take some time to master, though. You need to figure out proper cooldown usage, strafing/kiting techniques, etcetera.

…but in all honesty the easiest and typically most efficient way to level a warrior is to grab a greatsword, throw on 5 signets, and hundred-blades everything into a fine paste before they have a chance to really hurt you.

Once you hit 80 you can worry about doing things right. ;P
