I tried to help when the OP first came to the forums looking for advice, but the more of these posts I read the more I think he’s just playing the wrong game.
It’s getting a little old.
The help playing meta builds is not a cure for a poor class!
Because they have poor diversity, they are pigeon holed into specific pvp builds because other weapon choice combinations aren’t viable, They lack any real defense the lack of protection is bad, they have High Hp, and Armor but still melt to Pure DPS classes in seconds. Every build has to have cleansing Ire which ruins build diversity as their should be other options to rid conditions… Warrior are only good if they have a pocket healer or Guardian cleansing them!
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!
Thank you it finally went through.
hmm let me try again than ty.
I need to make a support ticket but i cannot figure out where my Serial Code is for my game? I purchased it off GW2 site digital download!
Yea, I mean if the Rifle had 1 aoe attack like the pistol for Engineer it could maybe pull away but its single target and the other 4 players will be killing you!
Banners should be replaced with Warcrys that buff teammates, maybe be executed off combos or weapon finishers creating a new exciting rotation.
Interesting, we are predictable, we all mostly use a LB because we have to… We have stupidly long attack animations that telegraph our moves. Sigh!
Most players said they could beat warrior between 60%-90% of the time…
Combine both good banners into one banner which frees up a utility slot for Signet of Might. Extra 180 power would go a long way to putting personal dps into a good range.
I like the idea of freeing 1 shot by combining two banners together. Having to carry 2 banner can be a bit annoying. But what would be the other banners?
I can see like a
- Power, Precision, Ferocity banner
- Condition, Condition Duration, Precision bannerBut what would be the last two? Maybe
- Boon Duration, Healing Power, Toughness
- Boon Duration, Profession Attribute, VitalityOr
- Boon Duration, Healing Power with smaller amount of Toughness and Vitality. That would be a good support banner for sPvP
- Power, Vitality, toughness. That would be for World BossesI can figure 3 good banners, but the last one always seem forced.
You’ve been promoted to Developer team!
Well, I knew ranger got buffed but I didn’t think it was enough to surpass warrior dps, with their 100% fury uptime and easy access to might. But the other point you and others bring up is good, and that is that warriors bring more to the table than just personal dps.
Well that’s for group content. If you are soloing stuff or running around in the open world, then Warrior will have a better DPS than ranger because he can self-buff better than the ranger can. Ranger can have more self-fury, but not by much, but warrior can keep up more self-might and that’s what make the difference.
What? Rangers can kill their target before they get to them!
How you do the damage is irrelevant to the discussion, neither does the burst capability of the profession, nor the range vs melee. The actual maximum dps number is what was disccussed here.
What’s being discussed is " Why is the warrior community being penalized". It’s just that folks such as yourself is trying to take it in a different direction.
Folks like myself that play Warrior want “Choice”, we want class diversity, we want to be viable more then just a buff bot or needing a LB to compete!
We want the ability to play the game we paid $$$ for without the class we chose to be nerfed because some Developer ran a numbers binary on population control!
We want to not HAVE to take cleansing Ire and have other options to our specs without crippling ourselves…
Name all the other professions that have to use ONE particular weapon to even be viable!

Might as well give Warriors a chair for their back pack, that way they can sit down blow their horn over and over and drop banners while knitting a nice rug for the better classes!
I liked the video, I love the Rifle but it just seems lacking in comparison to LB. I may try your build for giggles see how i fare!
Back in old GW1 you could have up to four weapon sets, but some people here are clearly too young to remember that…
It has nothing to do with age. I chose not to play GW1, and still have no interest to this day. I’ve been playing online games since dial up. I also remember my first Atari 2400 and Comador 64.
Age has nothing to do with taste.
Oh yea my 1982 Yars Revenge score is still in the Atari hof! lol
What if instead of a 3rd weapon our second weapon swap had different utilities that could be utilized? That would allow major spec diversity!
I’ve been playing a short tie and play Warrior… Why? Because I don’t want 30 buttons, I don’t want silly bombs or grenades, I want to wield fierce weapons and smash crash bash my targets.
Apparently because to many people are playing Warrior developers decided to lower their DPS, and survival so we run around as fodder.
This would be like Ford being upset to many people drive F-150s and decided to make them less reliable, break down more often so people start buying Pontiac Vibes!
Why should Developers dictate the population? I don’t see Elementalists and Thiefs being de populated? Their still Top Guns!
Must say this leaves a bad taste in my mouth!
Oh they seem good in pve, just not top dps
Warrior is fun and can do decent damage, Blacktruth will try and have you get hits on his twitch feed so he can be relevant.
Don’t take my word! Head to the other forums and ask how hard it is to kill a Warrior, I bet they’ll still be laughing tomorrow.. Warriors can Buffbot, LB attack like a Ranger, or run in smash bash and die.
We do not have any protections, even if you spec all defensive abilities. We need help, until the devs change us some we are easily killed. If you got a premade, then you can pretty good, the from what I’ve seen is having other help (carry ) you!
Try it! I did back and forth testing while speccing power / crit / conditon using their subsequent talents and the LB won every time in raw DPS.
And if you’re a good player wanting to play Warrior that doesn’t have a team of condition removal classes or healers…. Play Guardian!
These guys post these videos of them being pocket healed and having conditions stripped while they beat on someone. Warrior drop like flies!
The rifle just cannot compete with Longbow, even just shooting dummies LB can take one down in 6-9 shots, Rifles takes 11-14 shots.
I just feel the Rifle needs to be buffed!
Some people really should stop playing this game…
Start with yourself!
There is no reason to be rude! I think its a good idea, Warriors are suppose to be weapon masters, yet we are the only class that cannot spec to help our selves or our team at the same time… Warriors are always at a disadvantage as they have to limit themselves to spec utility.
Roll a Warrior to level 2 and hit the PvP lobby and see for yourself, unless you have a team or a Guardian removing Conditions off you – you will be melted by pretty much any DPS, and out lived by tanks and healers!
Dude you play the game for only a month and you are trying to act tough on the forum.
Buff botting is not fun, end rant!
So you are making the point that Warrior don’t have real defensive abilities and low healing. When someone point out to you that its untrue, you change your argument to its not fun?
Buff botting make me think that you just play Warrior badly. Do you at least check which condition do you remove with shout and which one do you transform into boons with your warhorn?
Everytime someone use term like this take no skills, this is only 111111, this is botting something, etc. That only prove that you don’t know what you are talking about. You can make a good point, but you choose not too by making blank statement like this.
Other classes do not have to neuter themselves to have these! Whats the point of having a Warrior master of weapons for buffing, other classes can do it better more efficiently.
Really? Un equip your LB and show me your prowess!
Really Shieldbash? 3 weeks ago you posted a thread how you just started the game and you go all kitteny already?
Relax man.
One does not need be a lifer at the game to see the Warrior mechanics are failing and cannot compete at the same level as the other top classes in pvp. The Warriors greatest defense was his ability to pressure his opponent with dps, now they have far less DPS and no real defensive abilities and low healing.
Shoutbow says hi in regards of defence and healing (plz don’t go into a discussion abt shoutbow here though >.>)

I feel even though Ranger is supposed to be far away, there should be a “Prime Range” where he does maximum damage and it should lessen the further away he gets!
So maximum range does the least damage, this would force Rangers to engage rather than what we have now!
I think its more people liking Warriors being free kills and you want to keep them that way!
If a Warrior is a free kill, then the issue is a pebmac issue for the Warrior.
Really? Un equip your LB and show me your prowess!
You’re the greatest ever! Now go back to staring in the mirror…
arcing arrow often hits for 3k or more on the builds i run. if you think shoutbow, and celestial axe don’t hit hard you are simply not playing them right.
Wow! A whole 3k? oh then I digress……………. Not like other classes hit in the 6-10k regularly even from range?
I think its more people liking Warriors being free kills and you want to keep them that way!
Pretty much anything with LB as your secondary weapon, if you spec for survival you’ll hit like spitballs, and if you spec for dps you’ll fall over dead within 3 hits!
You could spec WH and run around playing buffbot, which is as fun as being the 3rd wheel on a date watching your friend make out with his chick and you sit there picking romantic songs on the juke box!
No matter what you choose you will be either Out DPSed, Out Survived. We are fodder unless we have a pocket healer!
True. Though I have to say that I perform a lot worse with LB then with my roaming axe+sh/GS setup.
I dont like how slow the LB is, and without any condi damage its weak. Using it ONLY for the condi clear is a waste aswell imo. Better use the new GS burst with its large AOE.
I generally dont understand why so few people use the shield. Its awesome.But I am only rank 34 or something. So I dont know, things might get difficult with better opponents.
Edit: oh yes, visuals are always important for me. Skills need to feel strong or it just wont cut it. I was really upset that we got the standard hammer swing animation for the new GS burst. In the preview it looked a lot more powerful.
I love the shield, I just feel the stun is to short 2 seconds would be better. I mean even with the 30% extra stun thats 1.3 secs! Also the range of the Shield Bash needs to be longer to counter ranged classes kiting it should be 600 like savage leap. Shield stance should have a passive debuff buff added to make it more unique and utility, other classes get double effects / utility on their shield not Warrior.
You give shield bash 600 range 2 second stun and make Stance give maybe regen / remove conditions during its timer based on adrenaline / maybe even buff party in xxx radius of vitality and toughness…
Or just lower the CDs by half! I mean even with the Shield Master ability you’re looking at 20 seconds and 24 seconds respectively, whilst other classes get to use 4/5 2-3 times in that window!
Is it just me or is the Sword for Warrior pretty lame? It seems like Dual Wielding service no purpose but for the diversity of 4 / 5 spells…
Sword hits so weak, and the bleed isn’t much better I mean its not like a Boss where you can stack bleeds no one allows a Warrior to just wack them continuously. Then you finally get ready for you burst ability and you wave your sword back and forth like a Musketeer with down syndrome!
Can we please change the sword burst to something cool, exciting? Maybe a weak version of the Whirling Axe that stacks bleeds? That would be very cool instead of the ridiculous animation now that locks you in place and you hope your targets were in range….
Any agree / disagree?
I suppose if all you care about is Game Animations Warrior is for you! But for those of play a Warrior, we have good Armor, and good Hp but trying to play the Warrior its hardly what it should be.
Warrior shouldn’t be subjected to having to be a ranged class to be viable!
The only Warriors I see using a bow are the ones laying at my feet with their bow wrapped around their neck. Which are very rare since most of them are like rabid beasts flailing around a greatsword like its an… uhm… well, a flail.
If you’re not trolling, then visit the Warrior forums. Plenty of builds there for Warriors that want to leap into battle like the overgrown frogs they are.
You’re joking right? The only Warrior running around without a LB are the ones in premades using GS and getting pocket heals!
All Warrior or 90% use LB as their secondary weapon because we are killed faster than the medium amounts of damage we can inflict… He’s absolutely correct, Warrior is now a squishy high hp buffer or bowman with out rapid fire… Its absurd that this is the Warrior.
Thats the issue, without Warrior putting out great pressure they are forced into plicking and plucking at targets blowing all their defensives trying to do so, whilst other classes still have defenses to use!
If a Warrior cannot force defensive quickly he will surely die.
Warrior sucks because it cannot sustain itself over time. Most notably because it only have one healing skill that does not force you to practically build around it, that is healing signet. It works with everything. Try using mending, defiant stance, healing surge. All these builds require you to somehow tweak your setup to optimize defence during cooldown. However warrior in its current state are unable to maintain damage or pressure once put into a defensive spot.
Every other profession can apply some sort of counter pressure or escape. The warrior cannot. It either sink, or it float. It never soars.
Exactly what I’ve been experiencing! I can do mid-low damage but I cannot maintain it because I have to run away or try and los heal… Players i am fighting as you said seem to continuously pressure me whilst healing so they don’t need to back off and can stay aggressive.
Warrior is kind of a weak glass cannon atm.
I wonder if this is why all the warriors say their class is so bad…
I made an Engineer and its by far easier than Warrior to be successful! Its almost to easy…
If you ask me annoying =/= op, and low skill floor isn’t a reason to hurt build diversity. Everyone is going to have some build they hate and if everyone got their way we’d all be fighting with sticks. And eventually those would get nerfed too. Honestly, its a real problem when a community complain about lack of diversity then attacks every build they can, even if they know they’re already not a highly competitive build, they just “don’t like it” or its “too easy”. Just my two cents… Its a bit pathetic.
~ Don’t play turret engy.
I haven’t seen anyone attack the build! They / we complain the Turrets are to good!
They should do less damage or
They need to have less damage mitigation or
They need to be effected by Conditions and cc like other pets.
Right now they are really effective, hard to kill, and uneffected by Conditions and CC. Its a bit to much meanwhile the Engy doesn’t just stand there watching hes good too!
(edited by Shieldbash.5304)
Hah. I just tried a turret engi to see what the fuss was about. A power ranger was able to take down a thumper, rifle and rocket turret all in the space of about 30 seconds with hardly any damage to him. Even the supply crate was no issue.
I see no issue with turret engis.So the faceroll class can kill the turrret from 1500 feet so theres no issue? Unfortunatley Us Melee classes don’t have Barrage, Rapid shot spam.
And since when did any single build have to be countered by every other build in the game? Hey, let’s also remove all the blocks on dps guardians, they are currently OP because thieves have trouble killing them.
I have a hard time killing them as a Warrior too! They have cc immunity, Condition Immunity, and better Damage mitigtaion then I do!

Yes, I see now why the LB is so used. I will get better at it and learn it… Wish we had a Crossbow seems more fitting to Warrior.
Ok I tried a myriad of builds last night practicing on the pvp lobby npcs, then went into spvp and did fairly well not good, not horrible decent…
I still feel Warrior damage is low! I see the incoming damage I am taking from classes standing on a rock ledge pew pewing and then wonder how is it a Warrior that has to be in melee range hit for less?
Hambow was pretty good especially if I had team help clearing points etc. sometimes not so helpful as the knockback added with my targets teleports and dodges places me at disadvantage at times trying to get in that next series of attacks as they are out of range…
I Started using rifle / longbow under protest mind you, I find plucking ppl down some from range first then moving in is way better for my success and survival, however feels anti Warrior to me!
Defy pain saved me couple times, and mobile strikes helps against the plethora of rapid fire, volley hunters…. Seems theres always at least 2 both volleying me keeping me pretty much rooted until death! So mobile strikes is a life saver I wish I didn’t need to go that deep into discipline?
I tried a axe / axe – lb I know its a horrible build as you all said, I cannot play GS its just horrible weapon, I was much better. I’ll keep leveling and keep trying!
