I actually have to agree with the author, Warrior’s do suck imo. Many of the reply posts make great points and I agree with others that Warriors are not weak by any means (perhaps this was corrected since the post began?). But given their limitations I personally would expect them to be stronger to really stand out.
People have suggested the author does not know how to use their warrior. Perhaps this is true, but the same argument could be the same in reverse – that posters just can’t use other roles as well – after all, this is a comparison of the warrior role vs other roles.
Warriors are strong. But frankly their skill abilities suck, making them really quite boring. Some of the weapons are cool, and there’s nothing wrong with the great sword, it’s very cool, but as a package the warrior is boring compared to the other roles. I think this is because the makers have doomed warriors to be a support class. Why? This sucks! Warriors should be leading the charge, not waving kitten y banners around – come on!
I really don’t think enough has been done to distinguish from Guardians, and given guardians can do so much more, you really have to wonder why bother with the warrior.
I don’t enjoy PVP so my comments are confined to PVE. so perhaps PVP offers so much more as suggested in some posts. But for me, the warrior is definitely less interesting than other roles and as such I really only use my warrior in short bursts before getting bored. Having played warriors in other games, I really don’t think Guild Wars has done a good job with this role.
For those that love warriors, awesome, I’m happy for you, each to their own opinion :-)
