Why i'm i so squishy ?
Sounds like you need to try and make better use of your dodges. Warrior can kill stuff very easily.
If you’re in a group event, there’s probably tougher foes than normal. Which healing skill are you using? Healing Surge and Healing Signet are best for PvE. ALso if you need a couple extra seconds of survival Endure Pain is a good skill to grab. For Great Justice and either Signet of Might or Fury are also good choices to kill stuff quick.
Since you got a longbow I’d recommend pulling foes with skill 3. Using 4 to blind them and when they get close hit skill 2 then switch to Axe/Mace. You can gain alot of survivability by running around your foe while in melee.
Hope this helps
Here’s my build, currently 34, any tips is appreciated.

try not to do any events/maps/story line stuff if its above your level it slows you down so much that the extra experience isnt worth it, try to only do maps/story line when its below your level (will nearly double leveling speed of doing stuff thats around your level) also build doesnt really matter for leveling, put 10 into discipline for 25% faster movement speed while wielding a melee weapon and put the others wherever you want (preferably in the strength/arms line for extra damage/crit chance but again it doesnt matter that much)
First off, I’d ditch the banner for soloing. It’s only good when 4 other PLAYERS besides yourself are getting a bonus from it. NPCs dont count, as they suck.
The same applies to shouts, though to a lesser degree as SIO and FGJ are fairly solid even solo.
If you’re going to run Deep Strikes trait, get more signets. Swap FGJ to Might Sig, and banner to Doly or Stamina sig. Otherwise, drop deep strikes and get something else.
Against normal type mobs (no portrait border), you should be able to wade into a group or 2-4 swinging away with your axe and come out just fine. Against tougher mobs (bronze or silver portrait borders), you may have to kite them a little.
I would recommend using Healing Signet and Signet utilities with the 40 precision per unused signet.
I leveled my warrior using sword warhorn and riffle from level 2 to 80 and used all the weapons to ensure that I’ve opened them. I found that unlike other mmos, gw2 required us to use kiting and dodging into our strategy. As long as you have observed how your character reacts to the enemy and how the enemy reacts to you, simply use dodge to avoid the painful hits, and level up accordingly. I found doing lowbie events the best, and playing with my mates on other things; so they can tank for me.

I don’t know what you are doing wrong but when I leveled my warrior over a year ago it wasn’t as buffed as it is now and it wasn’t hard. I always went full berserker/dps longbow and dual axe. In orr I did have a bit harder time. Those undead were a bit strong cuz you couldn’t get exotics so easily as you could now. So I basicly roamed orr with greens and yellows.
Maybe the enemies are few levels higher? Maybe you don’t dodge power attacks(usually have long noticeable animations)? Maybe your enemies are more than just normal monsters?
Warrior has good defensive stat base. So basicly it shouldn’t be hard.
People seems using word “trolling” out of context way too often…
I had a pretty awful time leveling my warrior too (also, I sucked at it), trying to pull off the level 80 zerk playstyle while in masterworks and without full traits is practically suicide if you pull a group of mobs.

I found levelling warrior easy (my 2nd 80), even though I was a GS/rifle scrub back then.
just a word of advice – the precision signet trait isn’t what it used to be for levelling. it doesn’t give 40 prec till 80 and apparently it’s buggy.
Let me start by saying it been awhile since I leveled a warrior, but I think the tips should still help you burn down the mobs giving you a hard time. First off if your using deep cuts, Healing signet, Signet of Fury and Signet of Might works great together to maximize your damage at lower levels. For the 3rd slot FJG is a good choice but it really doesn’t matter there. When dealing with 3-4 mobs make sure you drop F1 on bow at the beginning. You can pop SoF before you pull the mobs if you don’t have a full Adren bar. Combustive Shot is one of the best AOEs in the game, use it often when dealing with multimob situations. Drop the Mace OH for Axe off hand, it works well with the fire field, and You can dodge while using Whirling Axe at the same time gaining most of your Adrenaline back. Keep in mind Axe off hand is only great for open world PVE mobs . Aside from that pick up Adrenaline health as soon as you can and you shouldn’t have any problems leveling in Open world PVE.
use range if you feel you die to much, do not get in fight with more then 2 mobs
put more defective stuff (sig, traits etc)
You have no traits in Defense nor Tactics, both of which are important trees if you’re trying to solo any content.
