Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the replies guys, each one was as I had hoped.
For the time being I’m going to stick to what I enjoy playing and if I seem to lack any sort of DPS I’m going to put it down to a lack of player skill and try to perfect it!

That’s the sort of answer I was really hoping for!
I was getting worried thinking that there would be very little point or gain in using anything but the Greatsword.

Hey everyone!
I’m in a bit of a dilema, and need a bit of advice regarding the Warrior class.

But first I’d like too say, one of the main reasons that persuaded me to buy this game was the amount of variation the first game had, and from what I had heard previously, this had as well.

For example after playing World of Warcraft for so long I came to realize there was no real customization in your character and how you play. Every hunter would use the same weapon, every Warrior etc etc.

However with Guild Wars 2 you have a different pallet of skills for almost every different weapon choice, which is fantastic! Makes the game fresh and always exciting.

However, recently I have noticed that despite the massive amount of customization in the game, for the Warrior at least. You are still told to use one specific type of weapon (Greatsword) if you wished to be a successful addition to your group, because it has the overall best DPS (more so than dual anything or even hammers).

I’m not sure how much truth there is in this but, that’s my question;
Is this game REALLY that inter-changeable?
