Guild Wars 2

Hello Warrior Forums

Allow me to start by saying that I have never done any WvW BUT I would like to Start. I am Considering rolling a Warrior (right now I have a guardian) because my playstyle is Hit em hard and take hits and I like to be on the front lines.

I would like to ask you warrior players if you think my playstyle would be better suited for a Warrior or if I should just stay guardian?

How do Warriors hold up in WvW compaired to other classes?

I would wait til see the class changes in the next patch.
I have fully geared, warrior thief mesmer and guardian.

The warrior I use for commanding and is a fairly tanky shout heal soldier rune build, front lines is no problem, killshots hit for 6-8k and about 8-10k for a 100blades, able to stay alive even with commander aggro and do decent burst. My biggest issue with warrior is running to get back to zerg is plain dangerous, small ops is good but again you have no escapes. See 4 guys in the distance? pretty wp now or your dead.

My guardian is immortal spec, mace shield & staff, does pretty much no damage. fun on the front line and but its weakness is people bursting it down. I feel much more comfortable roaming etc on my guardian, im not going to kill anyone, but they are going to have to put some serious effort in to take the guardian down.

So currently I do prefer the warrior over guardian in wvw.

That said to compare both to my survival thief, 8k backstabs, 7k spammable heartseekers, can walk around the map solo all day and not care, because no one will ever catch you. Dagger storm the front lines. Big damage and broken survivability.

Of course, the problem with your guardian is your never really specced into critical. Guardians in Hybrid builds can get best of both worlds, doing insane damage while tanking almost the same by mixing gear.

Greatsword/Hammer tanking (Paragon) guardian for example.
