Tanks dont work in GW, and swords are the weakest weapon (unless you have D slash ofc, but no one hardly does).

Less tanks please, more Earth Shaker / Yeti Smash / None Shall Pass.

And theres all those warriors that need to use monk skills in PVE so they can run around saying 'Wheee! Im a paladin!'

Yeah, every class tends to do their own equivalent of that idiocy, in PUGs.

Yea, but just about every necro runs MM or SS, most ellys manage to run an effective damage bar, rangers and mesmers know to take interupts, monks at least have healing spells, then you get a warrior and no kidding, he has gash, sever artery, mending and dolyak sig - 'hi, im a tank' (if it even talks). Or it says Gooooo!

Just a general observation from 12 - 18 months of Pugging.

Big numbers do not equal good builds.

Is there something wrong with Sever Artery and Gash?

There are far better skills to take in PVE, most of which are in hammer mastery.

Cale Roughstar · Apr 10, 2008, 01:06 AM // 01:06

my main character is a warrior, and I luvs him. There is something that is so satisfying about hearing the dull thuds and death screams up close ("uuuughhhhh!")

Greedy Gus · Apr 10, 2008, 01:12 AM // 01:12

Have 5 PvE wars & 1 PvP war.

Necro MMs who suck at staying alive, Flare/Firestorm elementalists, Power Shot rangers, Empathy mesmers, Healing Breeze Monks... they're scarcely better. Ugh, and Narutotard assassins

bhavv · Apr 10, 2008, 01:45 AM // 01:45

You did not just bad mouth empathy OMG!

That is the single best mesmer skill in HM.

The rest is true though, although healing breeze is good on a HC bar with enchants + D kiss.

shru · Apr 10, 2008, 02:08 AM // 02:08

Healing breeze is still not a "good" skill, it's just less bad then it was before. And everything listed above me would also be known as "PUGs" who are generaly not known for their competence or ingenuity.

And to the OP: I have been playing 29 solid months and I have a ranger (my main), anecro, an ele, a mesmer, a monk, a ritualist and a level 2 warrior who has been a mule for the entirety of my account life. Sp I'm realy not going to count him as me playing a warrior since he still has starter armor and no extra skills unlocked.

Hammer mastery has earth shaker, crude swing and yeti smash. Everything else is meh at best.

Rekiara Malevu · Apr 10, 2008, 02:37 AM // 02:37

I don't have a Warrior, for a couple of basic reasons. First and foremost, I just don't enjoy melee based characters. This is also why I don't have a Dervish or an Assassin. Secondly, I'm not a fan of the Warrior artwork (though there are a few exceptions to this). Finally, I know enough other people who enjoy warrioring that I wouldn't ever have to fill that role anyway.

Given the 'pressure' (not that there is any real pressure, just a minor OCD thing on my part) to fill at least one HoM, I can't bring myself to waste time and gold on a character that I just feel 'bleh' about.

Yes those ones plus mokele smash, enraging charge, none shall pass, flail and res sig.

Swords are good with D slash, axe with triple chop / whirling axe. Add splinter weapon for more fun.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Apr 10, 2008, 05:59 AM // 05:59

I chose the Third cause I make PvP Warriors but delete them sooner or later.

As for PvE none, I've got Sin, Para, Ele and Monk.
I had a Rit deleted him, Now I regret it, a Thousand Fold XD.

I'll play Rit again if I got a new account, my other Account is already full.

They are meant for:
1) people who cannot read or cannot make their own builds
2) kiddies who just want to be 'big and bad'
3) the followers, you know, those kids in high school that would follow the fad just to be accepted
4) the arrogant, yes this is an overused stereotype, but the first thing a nub who knows nothing about the game will do is make a warrior and EXPECT to be better than 90% of people immediately

Destro Maniak · Apr 10, 2008, 06:41 AM // 06:41

I have my warrior unlcok every outpost, mission, camping dont except... GWEN I never made him go there cause day by day I started to hate my warrior. I wished I would be able to transfer my efferts to my monk(which is my second fav, because my fav sin is already fow and best stuff

)

Yes once my warrior was main, monk was second, sin was .... lvl 13. But as I started to think mobius+death blossom was far better then warrior in PVE(yes I play sin PVE and I got guardian titles) 10 armor difference isnt worth that much.
EDIT: BTW my sin can kill any warrior 1v1.

Cebe · Apr 10, 2008, 07:21 AM // 07:21

I played for a long time before I made a warrior. I had previously believed that warriors were boring and useless...well...on reflection, they can be useful, and are mildly amusing for small pockets of time. I inevitably always go back to playing Caster though.

I refuse to unlock Monk secondary...

No need for a new account, just buy an additional character slot.

1) Oh ok, please speak to those warriors that win GvG tournaments, rageface you in TA or wherever your squishy ass fails.

2) The warrior is THE classic badass in all mythology, fairy tales, sagas.

3) These kind of attemps at psychology make you look stupid. It's like saying guys that play male eles (in FoW ;]) are effeminated introverts.

4) Again, there's a good reason people start with warriors. The archetype of the sword-swinging hero. That's what everyone thinks first. Shitting Fireworks and throwing glowing balls around is much less manifestated.

Warriors Pwn All!

Jenn · Apr 10, 2008, 08:03 AM // 08:03

Been playing two years. No warrior. Tried them, couldn't do it.
