Ahh, I see – well if Warriors are indeed auto-attackers then it’s totally not my play style. Think I will venture into ranger class

Hello,

I am a new player with a few questions that you have probably been asked or seen threads relate to over 1,000 times. I have harvested a few threads and gained some information but still looking for that bit more.

I have a warrior around level 12 which I started yesterday, I love the questing system and exploration which is fantastic. Problem is I seem to find I die alot or take tons of damage from enemies equal to my level (and in some cases even lower). I read other threads about “Constantly moving”, I grasp the idea of evading (rolling) out of special attacks but standard melee seems to cause alot of damage.
I am not too sure if it’s simply my gear, class or play style. Am I correct in thinking I need to constantly strafe when fighting a mob or is that my downfall?

Next question is relating to skills. I have taken part in a few world quests which are great. Problem is I feel like I am very underwhelmed with my skill set. As a warrior using a 2 handed weapon all I seem to do on a boss mob is:
Auto attack (button 1)
then press special attack (Button 2)
No use for 3,4,5 because they are either engage, get away or situational.
The 6,7 buttons I have are just for utility. Ones a heal and the other is a shout I keep buffed on myself.

Does it get better at higher level? I just feel like pressing 1 button for a boss is a little boring and underwhelming.

Final question is end game content, I think I already know I will probably be going on a mass exploration to unlock all the map, quests and hidden locations. But other than that is it all PVP and WvW?

Thank you for reading my thread, I hope I can get the information
