Guild Wars 2

Edelweiss.9815:

2OP: Warrior is a PvE class. He has one role in PvP – glass cannon roamer, but he’s severely outclassed by the Thief in this role. The profession just lacks PvP skills, most abilities are very numeric and weak, and are intended to increase the performance of 5 people beating on a static NPC in the math contest of white numbers vs HP pool. 70 power for everyone, little buffs, little heals, a few percent of damage mitigation, a bit quicker rez etc. Add the fact that pure mitigation means nothing in this game, it’s all about avoidance, target cancel, stealth, blind spam etc. and Warrior has nothing of the sort and you have yourself quite a pathetic class. Don’t PvP on the Warrior, unless you have a team dedicated to building themselves around your one trick of Frenzy 100b.

Well I don’t really feel that warrior is too weak of a PvP class as of right now. I constantly rank on the top half of the sPvP matches and about one third of the time on the top three. This might be the cause of my low rank in sPvP as of right now, but I constantly wreck thieves with my skills. But I don’t play traditional gs war on sPvP, that’s for PvE. I play sPvP with axe/axe and hammer dps build with some toughness. This is fairly uncommon combo so people are not prepared to see me pull out my hammer after doing fast damage with my double axes and then stun them. Even when the moment of surprise is taken away the combo is pretty effective imo. axe/axe has some really good damage skills and they are not as predictable as GS and still deal tons of dmg and the hammer has some great skills to knock people down (pretty effective against thieves and other squishy classes). So I would argue that warrior is just as viable option as PvP class than any other. You just need to figure out how to play it to make it be effective. I’m still figuring out my build but as of right now it’s 30/10/15/0/15 and changes will most likely be made on it, hence I’m still figuring my kitten out.
