Guild Wars 2

Our traits are crap, most of them don’t even work.
Most class have broken traits, go play a necro and you’ll see how not broken warrior traits are.

We have crap survivability
You must be doing something wrong, sure if you chew too much you’ll regardless of the class. But generally i can easily take 3-4 level 80 mobs with no problem as a sword + axe specced warrior

GS skills sometimes dont work
it’s not that they don’t work, they get evaded or your not close enough or that npc moved and avoided it.

Whirlwind attack and Rush 50% of the time don’t do damage.
Whirlwind that is due to the mechanics, it’s possible that the swing will miss as you move away from the npc and the npc move. This taken into consideration, as for rush for me it work 100% of the time as long as i’m actually in range to the mob. The problem with rush is it unlike other skill it doesnt’ tell you if your in range or not (and that’s a bug i think)

We have 0 cc control

we have several just that you think WARRIOR only use great swords and guns. Bow has snares, sword has stun + snare, hammer is for CC really so if you want to CC use that or mace/shield

our range dps is garbage
i agree for the range dps being low on solo target, but if you have several mobs it its really high. combustive shots + 2 and 3 skill does a lot of damage

Toughness and armor does nothing,
Can’t say if it does anything, i went mainly vit/condition damage so i can’t confirm but really didn’t see the need to go full toughness.

I went full healing exotic gear to test
i know healing does make a difference with healing signet

so if you want damage you die in 3 hits
unless i get 5+ i rarely die unless i goof up. But i most of my DPS is from condition. IE: if full adrenaline, open up with bow F1, switch to sword, savage leap to get combo finisher, whirling axe to build adrenaline, and finish up with sword F1 if they not dead by then. Generally the Bow F1 + whirling axe will kill most of them quickly.

If things gets tricky (IE: health getting low). I just run around and let the mob die from the dots while i use healing skill.

I also have the 100% out downed state when using revenge after killing something that helps when it gets tricky.

Warriors really does have issues but they not that bad, they actually can kill a lot of mobs fast you just need to actually learn to switch weapon to facilitate things. Combustive shots is op if you use it well as it does 200-300 dmg per tick and is a combo field so if you use a combo finisher after using it then that helps a lot too.

P.S right now i’m mainly in +find runes and +find jewerly/accessory so my dps is kitten some and i can easily take 3-4 mobs without much issue.
