Hey, there’s one profession with the most build diversities that can’t even stand in PVP.
engineer,mesmer,ranger,guradian,elementalist,thief.
Sword is fine as a weapon. Its the best 1h main hand for a single target dps build because of the teleport and the rapid attacks will proc burning off of justice a lot. The autoattack can also hit 3 people if they are lined up right. It’s a niche weapon. All weapons are not meant to be equally effective in all situations.
only reason i’d use a sword is so i can have a defensive offhand. i dont use it because i like it, rather because its the only viable option. yes teleport is nice but sword 3 is a bit crappy
sword 3? crappy? lol if you don’t want it, i’d take it any time on my warrior.
hits only slightly higher than its auto, and its projectile block is so unreliable its not even funny. id trade most warrior skills for it
projectile block unreliable? ill tell you whats unreliable. sure get that amazing leap and that amazing cripple not just one of them but both, ill have that unreliable guardian sword 3 lolol. hope you enjoy getting shot down in mid air or that melee range single cripple lol
are you kidding me? im not even making this up… its common knowlege that the projectile block on sword 3 doesnt work half the time. ive been using sword for the past 2 months as my secondary….. by no means am i inexperienced with it
Sure, take it take that amazing leap that gets you shot down in mid air everytime you use it, or that melee range single cripple which is definitely way more reliable then blocking projectiles while throwing out projectiles at the same time, according to you
How about you take a fully geared guardian into wvw with a sword and then come back and tell me what’s what. You obviously haven’t tried it enough.
Your logic is so flawed, it amuses me. Your response doesn’t have any explanation nor arguments against my comment to make your false opinion stand. All you are doing is ignore and throw some random WvW zerg vs zerg bs in a single target weapon topic, i guess we are done here

can every other jobs ooc and get a third weapon swap please oh wait even 3 skills set is not enough to compare with 8 skills set, better give a fourth weapon swap when ooc
As someone who plays both your healway and the full zerker build i tend to find that the latter only works when:
1) 1v1 scenariors vs non bunker classes
2) 2v1 when you have the drop on them and neither are bunker classes
3) People who generally do not expect you to be glass cannonOnce you start fighting people for the second or third time they tend to remember you or your build so they are generally prepared and know what to look out for. If someone is prepared to avoid the focus 5 burst they can generally give you a run for your money, assuming they know what they are doing as well.
i can 1v1 bunkers except one case bunker guardian with retaliation, and group fight is amazing, sure some time people just don’t attack you because they don’t except you to be a zerker which is really funny, but even they do know, its still amazing in group fights or maybe it’s just that i played so much warrior so it made guardian an easier prof for me to play….
i’m just glad that you didn’t lose to a warrior
complimenting warriors for doing what?? SPvP, Organized WvW, random zerg WvW, solo map explore, Dungeon runs all have different needs. The gear you want depend on what you intend to do wearing it.
e.g :- for farming cof1 u want all zerk with double axe and rifle, Organised WvW I go PVT with hammer and mace + sheild (I act as a line breaker). For SPVP and small scale WvW i use knight armor.
who the heck farm cof1 with rifle…
Let me just say it again
you can always roll a zerker melee guardian that has amazing blocks, amazing teleports and gap closing skills so you can catch up enemies with insane speed (unlike some other slow kitten prof with their gap closing skill getting shot down on mid way), aoe blinds, aoe burns,aoe cc, amazing condition cleansings and stun breaks and high damage skills that actually hit without the need of using 2 utilities. Good freaking job!
oh did i mention that it has crit damge paired with toughness in trait lines and not some sad sad 3% burst damage joke?

The autoattack can also hit 3 people if they are lined up right. It’s a niche weapon. All weapons are not meant to be equally effective in all situations.

Maybe I am over reacting, but I main a Necro, have played Thief, Mesmer an Ele as well (though I found pre-nerf ele bunkering to be so distasteful that I refused to do it). Now that I have spent a little time focusing on my Guardian in tPvP as a bunker I feel a bit like I am fishing with dynamite.
What I mean by that is I pugged a group and we rolled some premades that we really had no business beating based on talent just because their guard was bad and they could not neut the mid point, ever, unless we chose to let them. I don’t consider myself to even be good at Guard at this point, and it just seems like the sustain/CC combination that I can bring to a match requires SOOOOO much from the opponent to take me off point that as soon as I have a point in control there is no possible way that 2 players are going to neut the point on me unless they are both better players than I am, or my team has focused elsewhere and I know I am suiciding for points.
Has this occurred to anyone else playing Guard? I guess what I am saying is that in a game where standing in the circle is the single most important thing it seems like the Guardian is far better suited than anyone to do that without having to sacrifice the ability to contribute to team fights.
Can someone help ease my conscience on this please? I really am enjoying the CC machine bunker style play, but I know that I could not reproduce this result on any of the other classes I have played, and that bothers me.
Honestly Guardians are extremely good at holding points due to how the class was built. They were made with the ideal that once you are in a fight, you are stuck there, and thus we have the tools to make that happen, well at least in t/sPvp at least. The issue with guardians though falls into other pvp like WvW, where forcing people to stand in a small circle for a length of time doesn’t happen, and it shows how bad the profession is for CC/Mobility in a larger field.
I honestly consider it a semi even trade, We cant catch people to kill them in WvW, so we can defend points well in s/tPvP. Though it does suck playing a roaming guardian in WvW for that point -.-
i run dps gs / sword focus instant medi build in tpvp. and i have no problem catching people with insane speed.
Does instant medi really make that much of a difference? I never tried it because it seemed like a wasted trait slot.
Teleport, Aoe burns, amazing condition cleansing all in an instant, what else you can ask for
…i dont know about you, im zerker guard since the day i decided to make a guard for pvp cuz i’m tired of my warrior bs… and i love it and still roll it in tpvp and not some wvw with food and cute animals…
Last 3 fights against thief… (04:13), or my last video…you said that warr sux in 1vs1 ye?
random 1v1 enemies with condition build, while your build is made to counter conditions and food while enemies have none. thank you, really enlightened me.
(edited by Lighter.5631)
It is BS. When I think of a great warrior, I think of one who doesn’t cower into using the tricks and gimmicks of other classes, but relies on his or her pure prowess to seize victory by the throat, fearlessly ripping down opposition and crushing it into the dirt before it ever has a chance to beg for mercy. We should be terrifying to behold, not casually brushed off.
oh then you better roll a guardian that doesn’t need any tricks and gimmicks to get it’s skillkitten and deal high damage and have cool looking gap closing skills so you can go manly face to face and aoe burns like a real man
kodan gears are like one of the easier ones to craft
what are you talking about ive been using sword/focus/gs on my zerker guard in tpvp for ever and i love it, teleport blind and blade projectiles and projectiles block are amazing…
you know whats real no love for sword? roll a warrior
(edited by Lighter.5631)
Hi everyone.
I’m relatively new to Warrior, I used to play a Necro for a very long time, then moved to Thief and now considering to master the Warrior.I have to say, I’ve never played it that much. I’ve played just few match in PvP ages before, just to try it out.
I have to say that I’m aware that people consider Warrior as overall weak in PvP, but as far as I’ve tried, I can’t understand exactly why.
In PvP, I usually run a Mace+Shield/Hammer build, 10/0/30/0/30 and soldier amulet.
I find incredibly ilarious on how effective this build is against any player, bunker or whatever you’d like to say.
I can easily stunlock people to death while having great survivability, good condition cleansing (not that awesome, I have to say), 2 stunbreakers and 2 burst mitigation skills (Defy Pain and Shield Stance).
Not to say how Earthshaker is a wonderful skill in point holding due to AoE massive damage + Stun.I’d like to know where people think the warrior lacks and why, because I can’t understand where the real UPness is.
lets roll a bunker guardian and do what you said 100 times better
or you can roll a zerker guardian that has amazing blocks, amazing teleports and gap closing skills so you can catch up enemies with insane speed,aoe blinds,aoe burns,aoe cc, amazing condition cleansings and stun breaks and high damage skills that actually hit without the need of using 2 utilities and all of these without the need of using specific runes or sigils

Its funny ppl where calling warrior the most op spvp class about a month ago lol.
funny you must live on mars
What he means Daecollo is that if you play a guardian more than your warrior. The developers which they’re starting to acknowledge I believe is that warriors profession does have an issue in competitive pvp. Playing another profession instead of a frustration one will give it recognition on why no one wants to play that profession when it comes to only Tourneys or Spvp and not WvW.
I played a lot of tourneys vs good teams and all, Warrior is fine in tPvP.
I believe most people simply play Warriors the wrong way.
Warrior is about setting up a kill and keep pressuring, and it’s not like it misses the tools to do so.
Your job is to keep the target impaired and unleash the big hitters at the right time.Of course Warrior is also a lot less forgiving as it doesn’t have things like stealth or teleports or clones to cheese his way out, you need to actually win your fights.
You need to run Sblock and EP all the times, they are two of the best tools in the game allowing you to negate several thousands of damage – and unload your big hits when the enemy is on the offensive.
my dps instant med guard can do exactly that and better
have you see a zerker war auto attack with gs 3k and a rifle 1k (this is single target weapon) not to mention AoE longbow.
Have you actually seen what a warrior killshot build can do in PvE?
you know why they use gs and axe for cof1 speed runs?
everyone will come to hardcore when theres too much casual or else they will just leave the game. it will end up the same. Fotm is a good hardcore dungeon they put. people do it daily, because it has better reward the higher level you are. unlike paths, people just pick the eaisest one because you don’t get anything better in the hardest path.
i play full zerker dps instant medi guard
Mass invisibility teleport in to enemy zerg and aoe ftw
MY GOD, how come people managed to turn a Q/A thread into a WAR ZONE?
Please follows the Guidelines and Respects the others OR at least pretends you ARE.If you wish ,you can start your own thread and battle it out there. Otherwise please leave this alone when you don’t have an answer or even try to answer it.
As for the question, if someone didn’t get it then I will repeat the question and answer it with my honest opinion.
Q: Why are Thief’s threads being ignored while Warrior’s threads being sweet-hearted with?
A: I think Jon Peters is busy trying to make his warrior works out and is likely that Thiefs will get nothing in the upcoming patch beside a few tooltips fixed.
That’s exactly what i mean’t and see what OP said?
“The world doesn’t revolve around you; this is not a personal attack on your home. Please read the opening post before you start to sob on the forums.”
While he shamelessly cry for attention they had for a long time, because the worst and ignored class are getting more attention then their decent/good class for a few days. Oh the irony
No, leave us alone. Not like you didn’t get your attention back then. Warriors have been the worst class in PVP and the most ignored for a long time now. Just leave us alone
The world doesn’t revolve around you; this is not a personal attack on your home. Please read the opening post before you start to sob on the forums.
i can totally say the same to you tbh, please read my post before you start to cry about anything
Lol did you even read the opening post? Read your first reply; and read my first message. Let me know if a light bulb clicks and you see a correlation to anything.
Please get yours clicks 1st then talk to me.
+1 for a great response; thanks for your contribution
Says the guy who responded to my comment respond with so much constructive ideas. No, thank you.
warriors have the most damage most HP yet worst in PVP
and not best at PVE.
Because this game is nothing like other games
Oh after reading your thread. so you are complaining about a melee class having more damage and more hp then your ranged class?
before the more damage=less survibility, less damage= more survibility(which is build related: PTV gear, PPC gear)
theres always melee = more damage more health then ranged who can basicly avoid been attacked by walking and attack constantly
have you see a zerker war auto attack with gs 3k and a rifle 1k (this is single target weapon) not to mention AoE longbow.
Ofc no one is equal, its not like a melee class can avoid been attacked by walking and attack constantly or not like a ranged class will take 5 projectiles at once because they are too close to the enemy.

shoulder T3
chest TA dungeon
pants i believe is TA too, can’t see it
Thanks. So hammer isn’t good at all.
yea, because most of the boss you will counter have unshakable. and controlling small mobs is just not as efficient as dps them down in no time. and in high difficulty contents like 38+ fotm. where mobs are too much and basicly one shot you. your control simply won’t work, better just use gs to evade or shield to block.
oh well in pvp, you can go gs/hammer dps or main hammer control but warrior sucks in pvp, i would suggest to log off your war and roll a guard in pvp.

Please, kitten more.
Warrs have great control options (all of the physical utilities, “Fear Me!”, hammer, mace, shield, and then a lot of control spread out among all kinds of other skills), and the largest build diversity as they have the most flexible set of weapons. They can bunker, tank, provide boon support, become very mobile, go high damage- low survivability, or go all-out GC. Their utility skills allow for vastly different playstyles, from control (physical utilities) to soloing (signets) to mobile team support (shouts) and all the way to creating fortresses of boons support with banners.
So please, don’t even start that.
Are you serious? your logic is so flawed. none of what you said actually change the fact that warriors are the worst in pvp
Says that “my logic is so flawed”
Doesn’t explain how or why.
I thought i said it. Ok, ill say it again, since you can’t seem to see it
*None of what you said have any thing, literally nothing related to the fact that warriors are the worst in PvP. *
I can’t imagine how can you base a class’ strength base on it’s build diversity. Oh and did i mention that there’s something called useless build i thought you would know that.
Yes, none of it is related to the “fact” that warrs are the worst in PvP because that isn’t a fact, is a pretty godawful opinion and for some reason you expect my post that was meant to counter that idea to still support your bias. It’d be like me saying that rangers are horrible in PvP, then you listing out why that isn’t the case, and then me telling you that none of that is true because none of it states why rangers are horrible in PvP. You still haven’t established the base condition of why warrs are horrible in PvP, and you haven’t actually countered my points stating as to why they’re actually not bad in PvP, you’ve simply said that they’re irrelevant because they don’t support the original idea that you posted that has no evidence to support it.
Furthermore, build diversity is extremely useful in devising team strategy. Because warrs can pretty much fulfill all of the roles that may be needed on a team, you’re allowed to use the other players on your team much more flexibly to stick with the strategy that you’re trying to implement.
When most of the people even the developers of arenanet and top team managers say that warriors are the worst in PVP and when you can’t see a warrior in any of those top team matches. you know that it’s a fact. or only if your logic is flawed
oh and you say build diversity is extremely helpful? What about every other professional can do better then warriors in any build? and they can do alot more.
and you know what arenanet said about gw2?everyone can bunker dps control support. you know why i don’t even want to bother myself to explain anything to you? because your statements lack the basic informations.

still better then warrior
In sPvP environment, you are right maybe. But in general, warrior is much better than necro, just look at PvE, they are the gods there.
No, Guardians are gods there.
Warriors are….well….gods in cof1

dude pull is awesome! id make it 3 mob pull like in d3 -.-
Real fast, it’s Sunday, so I’ll keep this quick:
Yes, Warrior needs more help in PvP, but is already strong in PvE. Due to that you may see some new splits happening between the gametypes as far as balance goes, and you may also see new traits to help Warriors find a way into team comps.
Hey Jon, as you are posting about this issue, and mentioned pve, I would like to take this opportunity to make a very interesting question. Has the balancing team ever thought about the possibility of actually toning down hundred blades for pve, or do you think it is all other professions that should instead be (pve) buffed to that level?
if ever they decided to tone down hundred blades damage in pve, they better decrease its attack speed. because apparently in some build’s auto attack somehow does more damage then hundred blades. and you should try to stand in front of mobs and try to pull off that hundred blades and see how long you can survive..
also warrior’s damage doesn’t just come from hundred blades but the whole skill set. 3 4 5 do better burst damage then hundred blade in a set period of time.
(edited by Lighter.5631)
still better then warrior
Instead of spending that many time trying to build a new warrior for Anet You could have l2p. Warrior Are not op but not bad too. L2p before posting this kind of stuff, it get boring see people complaining all the time.
No shut up just shut up, you see why theres no warrior in top team pvp matches? you obviously don’t.
OT: now when i go pvp i just log off my 80% time played warrior and get on my 10% time played guardian speced full dps medi and do better. just…. great.
(edited by Lighter.5631)
Lets point out a few things here. First off war is bad at 1 v x so that’s our situation. WvW is always open to getting jumped by many players. blind isn’t OP but it can be if a class gets enough of it. If you are going to go full melee and roam I would have to suggest Sw/Sh and GS.
As far as what the Op asked (blinded at the worst time). It happens often enough to make it a pain.
let’s point out that warriors are also bad at 1v1.
what if theres profs that don’t have power
like warriors or warriors and warriors
Top three? Hmm, well, there’s a lot more than 3 I have, but here goes:
1) Better utility skills.
The buffs to the signets are very much appreciated, but other utilities still seem not all that useful, or, at the very least, don’t have effects which are useful enough to warrant their use compared to others. Kick and Stomp especially come to mind, mostly due to their low damage or long recharge. The buff to banners was nice, and appreciated, though they still have very limited mobility, and good luck finding party members who take the time to help you move them around in a dungeon. A lot of utility skills need to be refitted, or outright replaced.
2) Better traits.
A lot of traits by themselves are certainly useful, either in the minor or major types, but compared to others just seem weak. Still others, like XI and XII in the strength line, I don’t see the point in using. Other seem broken, such as V in Tactics. Did some testing in Lion’s Arch, and I don’t think it actually increased the range of banners. Further, 50% of the Tactics line being rooting in reviving people (minor traits), which useful in pve, does mean that 50% of the Tactics line is useless in pvp, or so my experience has been, at least.
3) Weapon rebalancing.
I feel like while each weapon has some nice features to it, for warrior, if you’re using a weapon that isn’t putting out high dps, then it’s often not worth it, at least in pve, which is what I play most of the time. Powerful control effects don’t work on bosses, and condition damage, at least on warrior, isn’t comparatively useful, since there’s a dps ‘cap’ on how much condition damage can be taken at any given time, but not raw damage. Much as I like to use a variety of weapons, I find myself either using greatsword or axes for close ranged damage almost all the time, since other weapons just don’t have the damage capability. And to that, I feel like the sheer amount of damage greatswords and axes can do with high damage builds is part of what’s been keeping other aspects of warrior from being better balance.
Having said all this, though, I don’t personally know the best way to remedy these things and other aspects of the class. Class/weapon/skill balancing is not easy task, so, while I’m often disappointed at some choices Anet makes (like, buffing Kick…really?…Really?), I do appreciate the effort in trying.
this definitly this. warriors utilities are so bad..so are traits and we are all stuck with gs build
25 30 0 0 15 full zerker
1.gs
2.longbow/rifle/axe/shield
warrior hammer sucks big time in PvE
This is my longbow toting Sylvari:
you should have be a ranger
no only if you play like a thief solo running around taking off single or 2 targets but thieves are better akitten
warrior definitely need more power for the lack of survibility
