Path Blocking for Warrior? - Guild Wars Forums

I've seen discussions on path blocking for warriors. However, I'm unsure what is meant by that. Does path blocking refer to the warriors ability to use spells and attacks thats slows down or knock down foes so that they can't get by? Or does it mean a foe can't walk 'through' the warrior meaning he's an actual physical barrier? (most MMOs are made such that you can walk through characters)

There is no path blocking abilities for any of the characters. As you guessed, it is called that b/c you cannot walk through other people, their pets, or monsters. Everything is actually physically there.

I like that part, you can literally be a wall between your foe and your healers. Hopefully your healers will be smart and hide behind your big bad-ass self while you deal out the damage. Crippling your enemy is probably the best way to do it since it's now confirmed that knockdown sux ass.

Bodyblocking is very annoying in Tombs relic maps.
