Warrior, closest I got is Rampage I might get 3 / 2k hits off before you run away?

y’know, i was going to take you seriously, then you said you were a warrior player. i’d like you to think for a moment about how much more time it takes to be good at playing necromancer compared to how much time it takes to be good at playing warrior.
Warrior: hour tops
necromancer: i’m still learning almost two years later

Clicking on Lichform is hard?

I get up and dress like a hippy, act like a hippy, sing and dance like a hippy and then I walk around offended that people call me a hippy!

If it walks like a duck, and looks like a duck…. its probably a duck!

No Huttball its full of exploits!

Comparing a Warrior burst skill that hits for maybe 6k to being hit for 18k in 3 seconds seems moot. I can do maybe 8-9k damage if you stand their.

Warrior, closest I got is Rampage I might get 3 / 2k hits off before you run away?

I don’t have anything that hits even for 4k once!

What makes this spell do that much damage my god?

4 hits almost 20k damage!

Oh yea all weekend was cheese builds!

Haha I think I was in that one!

here we have 3 classes I have a total of 13 targets to choose through, with teleports, dodges, rolls, and spell animations to filter trying to choose my targets wisely…

Its just crazy 5 v 5 has become 5 v 20 depending on classes its ridiculous leave the AI for pve! Boost these classes personal damage and lessen the pvp clutter please.

I think all AI classes should have their personal damage increased and their Pet / AI damage drastically reduced or made into utilities only. This would make it so the Player would have to beat you not hide while his AI kills you!

Mik.3401:

? Every second person in this game is either warrior or guardian. It’s like impossible for it to die since it’s the most vanilla class possible.

For every Warrior, i see 3 Rangers

Well when half the community is banned for venting because of dumb imbalances and broken mechanics, maybe then you’ll fix your game!

To many Pets / AI running around… You want to play the game against another class and you’re inundated with 15 AI pets running around trying to find your target between animations, rolls, and effects!

AI Builds! Any build that uses no skill but to press a button and let the game play for you… Got me so upset im banned for a few days ! lol

I beat a couple Rangers over the weekend using Hambow but I was also using Rampage. If Rampage isn’t up, they just melt you…

Players that “Untick” the Profanity filter so they can get offended and then report whine about it!

This is like buying a car rolling down the windows in a rain storm, than heading over to Best Ford to complain you got wet while driving…

Thats what kittened me off, he changed pets while downed!

I fight my hardest to get a rally, his pet heals him and rezzes him?

Am I the only one that thinks this is ridiculous?

Silv.9207:

Sword is the condition melee weapon of the warrior and it’s made to proc bleed with critical hit, then a 10% of critical rate is good.
Then, we can also say that GS have damage increase, cooldown reduction and might on critical hit…

But there’s not all that need of sword cd reduction.

Problem with that is after you stack 25 bleeds you’re completely diminished in DPS capacity!

If sword could keep stacking bleeds beyond 25, or once 25 were reached Sword was buffed by a base 10-15%. As it is you hit like a noodle until 25 bleeds are stacked and then just hit like a noodle.

Slashing Power should include Sword / Great Sword / Spear

Vukorep.3081:

Olba.5376:

Two out of your three complaints aren’t warrior specific.

as this person already mentioned… none of those “nerfs” were specifically effecting warriors only…

Warriors are still the only class that has the highest armor and health as well as insane passive regen, party wide power,might,precision,fury and other stats from banners.
Mass rezzer via elite skill, great leaps and mobility,the ability to self rally, stances that make you immune to damage and conditions. And because of the large health pool and heavy armor our “glass cannon” builds arent as glassy as other professions…

We are also always very welcome to join any dungeon.

So where is this Warrior? Because you just explained like 5 different specs! The Warrior cannot have all of any of that you described… He’s either tanky and does crap dps, or does medium DPS and is melted on sight, or hes a balanced spec that really excels at nothing.

Playing Warrior feels like you have to put in twice the work for half the outcome!

Conditions are out of control!

I que Unranked to try and get better hone my skills, test builds, meet new people. I finally got my Win / Lose to 54% and BAM!

The last couple weeks has been Premade after Premade after Premade? I am now sitting around 47%.

There should be no parties of over 2 players allowed to que Unranked! Or do a Soloque so we don’t have to falsely boost Premades win % by feeding them our bodies!

eyestrain.3056:

This keeps happening- I hit a warrior with Doom and see a message pop up immune. I am carefully watching that their zerk stance is over (usually only fear a second or two after its on cd) and no stability. What is causing them to be immune?

Rampage http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rampage

I use this from time to time on a node when I am being zerged. Only way I can survive long enough for help to arrive.

I fight as good as I can getting 3v 1 smashed and running back trying to cap a node for some points… Its very discouraging!

Most of our bickering is from non viable weapon sets and nerfed damage. No video will fix that!

I just hate when I try and stomp you and you blink away!

Narkodx.1472:

Best part of this thread is a bunch of NOBODIES saying shoutbow is a bad build

It’s not like one of the meta defining builds at the moment

It’s not like one of the best players in the world just won a tournament worth $25k using this build

Buff shoutbow

You have to give it to ROM though, he’s an exceptional player. The ninja stunts he pulled off at the finals were sick, in all 4 games. Very few players can play like that and the build has nothing to do with it IMO

Agreed, now if there were 5-6 Warriors succeeding I’d say wow. But Skilled player like that could probably rolled any build and still won.

Even better is someone thinking their elitist enough to speculate on who’s a somebody!

If referring to me, I said my opinion, and until Obama finishes his goal of repealing my Constitutional rights I am still allowed one!

Yea, well you can call nonsense all you want! I didn’t roll Warrior

“ Warriors are masters of weaponry who rely on speed, strength, toughness, and heavy armor to survive in battle. Adrenaline fuels their offensive power—the longer warriors stay in a fight, the more dangerous they become.

So I could run around blowing a horn!

Shylock.4653:

Shieldbash.5304:

Warrior – Higher HP, more CC, medium low DPS can’t maintain itself no protection slow regen, poor condition removals, can be melted like butter by specific comps.

Since when does Shoutbow Warriors have poor condition removals?
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Shoutbow

Horrible to play, might as well roll something else if you want to be a High Armor melee class that blows a horn and shoots arrows!

Warrior – Higher HP, more CC, medium low DPS can’t maintain itself no protection slow regen, poor condition removals, can be melted like butter by specific comps.

Guardian – Lower HP, Medium to Medium low DPS, can maintain himself, with condition stripping and boons, can semi heal himself, low cc, no ranged weapon.

Roll Guardian, as Warriors are soon to become target dummies…

Good info ty………….

I try extra Toughness to boost my survivability yet I feel its doing very little. Is there any formula to damage mitigation?

I wish our equipment stats page showed % percentages

I mean I find almost no difference with 2600 and 3300?

WHo rolls a High HP Heavy Armored melee class to run around as a horn blower with a bow? Its a ridiculous premise and shameful that this is one of the only viable builds for Warrior class!

Knighthonor.4061:

BlackTruth.6813:

I suppose going axe/mace with 6 points in strength and discipline would make it deal a lot of damage.

But there really is somewhat no point considering 6 defense is just too good if you ever try to play dps warr.

I currently have 6 defense. but I run all 1handers. Cant seem to do enough damage to be effective with Axe/Mace.

Can you post what build your using?

I love Rampage!

Id rather run around potentially killing someone and feeling fun and useful, than just shouting and shooting arrows from a far.

Down side is Zerker you will die super fast like dropping butter on a pool of lava!

Just make hundred blades not root you during it so you can turn or walk forward!

Simon.3794:

ROM is the tactician and the leader, so good.

he leads the team so good like a real warrior.

Sure, aint saying ROM is bad or the build is bad..

But a real warrior doesnt shout and blow some horns..
Sure for support its a real warrior but the real DPS warrior is completely gone.

If this is it for warriors blowing on a horn and pressing some shouts i get a totally wrong image about warriors.

More an image of guardians.. these days guardians are the real warriors and warriors are the old guardians.

I agree, you got Warriors running around blowing horns, and Rangers beating people in melee with a GS….

Artaz.3819:

But players do much more than just sPvP…

And? Warrior is wanted in PvE for the combo of medium DPS + banners and it has been part of the meta for zergs/GvG for the entirety of the game.

Warrior is not weak or unwanted in any part of the game, perhaps you would prefer the necro position in PvE where for the entire game pretty much they have been bottom of the pile and unwanted, or how about engy/ranger who are non-existent when it comes to WvW guilds for zerging or GvG, or even thief /mes who are woefully underrepresented compared to the GWEN classses, and in the case of mesmer also weak in PvP.

Really the lack of objectivity and lack of awareness in this thread by some is astounding.

I don’t want to pve! I bought and installed the game because it said it was PvP focused… I could care less about standing on x and running to y while group 2 kills the dragon!

Kousetsu.1627:

whats wrong with warrior? is this pve oriented or wvw/pvp? i dont do pve but i feel warrior is pretty strong in wvw and decent in spvp. my warrior is the only class who i can 100 – 0 light armor classes with in just one hit, and if i miss it, i can do it again in a mather of seconds with some of the extra adrenaline traits.

Please make a video of this Godlike skills of your 100-0ing players.

Your best bet is to pick out a spec that suits your weapon like in the Warrior list and try it, after such tweak it based on what you find you are lacking. The specs all have their strengths and weaknesses, there is no 1 spec that can deal with all circumstances.

Natar.3671:

all i see here is the same posters (mostly) making the same arguments (mostly) on the same topic. and lol at ppl trying to use real life to back up their arguments for logic in a game >.>. like some of the previous posters, imo a few tweaks is needed but the class isn’t in a terrible position but could be btr such as fixing bull rush for a start. wait and see wat the specialization brings for warriors lol, it may or may not improve the class but at least smth is coming

Whom would you expect to be posting in the Warrior forums? Would it not be Warrior players that follow the Warrior commenting on the Warrior thread?

Azure The Heartless.3261:

Shieldbash.5304:

Why should Developers dictate the population? I don’t see Elementalists and Thiefs being de populated? Their still Top Guns!

Warriors offer the most bang for the least buck,and players dont like meticulously designing their glassy classes only to see them erased from existence by a player pressing 1 1 1 1 and then gloating when they down.

The problem is that Anet doesn’t make them more difficult to play, they just bubble wrap them until they hit softly enough to placate the aforementioned part of the community, which happens to leave them miserably low on the DPS table.

But hey, they have a high armor rating! That’s something, right?

And Healing Signet! never have to press 6 ever.

I don’t see any good players having issues with Warrior Pre nerf or post, Easiest animations to doge, and predictable, easily kited….

DarkSyze.8627:

My question is: why do warrior use mobility as defense instead of defense only? Arena net did a Great Job with warrior damage, so they do not need anymore damage increase but they do need to have their mobility decrease and have their defense increase to compensate.

In the moment each time i use some of my time for wvw: all i see is warrior running, that is all i see 90% of time and that is bad image for a warrior profession. It do not make sense for a warrior profession who wear heavy armor and use heavy weapon to use mobility as defense instead of defense.

Look at thief, ranger and mesmer: should Not be ele!, they are ligt-medium armor class, so how do a heavy armor and heavy weapon profession excell, surpast them 2x in mobility speed? it do not make sense at all.

Example; it is like having a big bear running faster than a bald eagle: this is how warrior is. I am surprised warrior do not jump very higher than all of the other class.

Iglosen, do you understand?: do not have to agree with me, where complain is come from?

Warriors defense does nothing! It only partially delays the inevitable… Without Protection Warriors Melt! Increase our Defense and lower our Mobility and we will be PvP Anchor Dummies.

ok so, find me an example in history of a culture where warrior where supposed to face outnumbered odds and die as part of their discipline when it didn’t even matter (not talking of “heroic last stands” or other such episodes, wvw roaming has literally no meaning sometimes)

bonus points for actually succesful ones.

-Last stand of the 300 Spartans-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e9J9-VpEss

“Warrior are born for battle. Warrior training: Learn to kill or be killed/ kill the lion or be killed”

“It is almost impossible to understand how 300 Spartans managed to hold off the million-man Persian army for even a moment, much less seven days. To a man they paid with their lives but their stunning Last Stand assured that their sacrifice would resonate throughout history. Relying on brilliant tactics, lifelong training, and unshakable allegiance, the doomed Spartans achieved the impossible”.

-Destructing History: Spartans-
http://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/leonidas#

“Leonidas (c. 530-480 B.C.) was a king of the city-state of Sparta from about 490 B.kittenil his death at the Battle of Thermopylae against the Persian army in 480 B.C. Although Leonidas lost the battle, his death at Thermopylae was seen as a heroic sacrifice because he sent most of his army away when he realized that the Persians had outmaneuvered him. Three hundred of his fellow Spartans stayed with him to fight and die. Leonidas believed in stand and fight to the death. Almost everything that is known about Leonidas comes from the work of the Greek historian Herodotus (c. 484-c. 425 B.C.)”.

-After the Battle-

“Leonidas’ sacrifice, along with that of his Spartan hoplites, did not prevent the Persians from moving down the Greek coast into Boeotia. In September 480 B.C., however, the Athenian navy defeated the Persians at the Battle of Salamis, after which the Persians returned home. Nonetheless, Leonidas’ action demonstrated Sparta’s willingness to sacrifice itself for the protection of the Greek region”.

“Leonidas achieved lasting fame for his personal sacrifice. Hero cults were an established custom in ancient Greece from the eighth century B.C. onward. Dead heroes were worshipped, usually near their burial site, as intermediaries to the gods. Forty years after the battle, Sparta retrieved Leonidas’ remains (or what were believed to be his remains) and a shrine was built in his honor”.

No offense, but this warrior must stay still and die romance is outdated.

GW2 warrior is a much better image of modern soldiers. They are mobility, strong and tactical. There is a huge misunderstanding about retreat. It is not dishonor to nowadays soldier, retreat, stay alive, regroup, planning, re-engage is what every soldier will do. Being a sitting duck, bullet mat, it is STUPID.

Yes, warrior got more hp, wear heavy armor, they can only build to be tanky with [specific gear and trait], that means the survival ability don’t covered all warrior builds. It is different to guardian virtue, ele water/earth, thief stealth, mesmer clones, necro DS etc.

What warrior needs is additional F2, F3, F4 adrenaline skill that provide more active defense before we can talk about the retreat. If we have generic F2~F4 skill that utilize our adrenaline into more sustain, yes, i guess it will be a fair trade off to take out some of our escape power.

Yeah well, this isn’t Iraq and the Warrior class isn’t Navy Seals! This is a video game with a Warrior class that is only Viable in pvp if he shoots arrows? Pathetic!

Yes right, this is GW2, this is not any of the trinity MMO that heavy armor must be sitting duck, this is not 300 nor Sparta too. There is a new vision to warrior class in GW2, stop asking warrior to do what’s guardian are made and supposed to do.

Guardians are Defensive Heavy Armor Melee

Warriors are semi offensive Heavy Armor Archers?
