I've been a player of 2 years 7 months, and I didn't start my warrior until the release week of Nightfall (wanted to experiment with a W/D).

My Warrior is now my main toon (my titlest).

I resisted making a warrior for so long because a) "everyone" has a warrior b) they just smack shit, right? c) all their stuff is SO expensive.

In answer to those reasons: a) Sure, anyone can play a warrior, but it takes skill and tactics to be a good "Tank" (knowing how to take and hold aggro, mix and match skills) b) see above, and I like experimenting with getting the most damage out of a warrior (outside of UB, using skills plus damage mods plus weapons) c) Now I can solo farm with my Warrior, where I didn't with any other toon.

My big resistance is actually Monk - I don't have a monk, and I've only ever toyed with one briefly in PvP.

I have a War only because I want a lv 20 PvE of every class to broaden my scope of knowledge. Said war hasn't been played in like 12 months and is now a Mule.

And what a great mule she is!

If you think warriors do crap damage, your knowledge of GW is low.

I had a Warrior for a few months, did the campaigns with him, got him Primeval, etc. Then deleted to clear space. My physical class is Paragon.

I have five characters, one of which is a Warrior. However, it was my 4th of the five made. I actually like Ranger and Mesmer more than the other class types.

I created my warrior way back when, but he hardly got any PT until I saw how lucrative it could be doing the keg/gear/book holding thing (for those of you who weren't around, if you held a gear or keg in Sorrow's Furnace, you automatically got 100% of aggro, same with book in Fissure, which was nerfed a bit later).
Then when titles were introduced, he became my title RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO, and basically became my main.
I farm a lot, and as an auspicious parry / double riposter, I could solo almost every melee boss in the game (the remaining as grenths riposter).

edit: wow guess the filter didn't like that rather benign word

My first character is a warrior, it just seems like a good profession to start with. It actually isn't though, too many HB, HH, mending warriors out there.

I have 2 Accounts and Have a total of 6 Warriors (1 male and 1 Female PVE, 2 PVP Warriors and 2 Pre-tard (dye / Char Hunter)). Have been playing for almost 3 years and have enjoyed using my warriors for most of it. Although have been playing my rangers and necros more lately because of the massive nerfes the warrior has undergone in the last 2 years.

(and the reason I have 2 accounts is that I Farm and in the beginning you couldn’t buy slots hence the 2nd account (with all the expansions, I have no real life ).

My warrior was my first serious character and still my main, though I love playing Dervish and Mesmer.

Theus Latius · Apr 09, 2008, 04:59 AM // 04:59

i made a warrior, got to level 20, got bored, deleted...

Empraim Wainwright · Apr 09, 2008, 05:24 AM // 05:24

I don't have any melee char

back in the days when I first tried GW I made a warrior, and I got bored before reaching lvl 5. Luckily the look and feel of GW was enough for me to try another type of char.

carbajac · Apr 09, 2008, 05:31 AM // 05:31

I have a pvp warrior, > 1 yr old. I tried to make a pve warrior but couldn't get into it, they're much more fun in pvp.

wraithe · Apr 09, 2008, 05:33 AM // 05:33

i have 3 warriors and rarely play them..lol

more like storage these days..too busy playing my necro and monk.

Lady Syve · Apr 09, 2008, 05:40 AM // 05:40

I don't have one. I made a warrior a while ago, but I only played to level 7 and left it to rot as a mule.

I only play Ele, Derv, and Ranger.

He also hasn't seen an E-Denial/Aneurysm-spike Mesmer in PvP.

Arduin · Apr 09, 2008, 06:50 AM // 06:50

Having a Warrior and playing a Warrior are two different things.

He gets me my rare minipets for sure.

Stranger The Ranger · Apr 09, 2008, 06:52 AM // 06:52

I don't have & want a PvE Warrior, I occasionally create a PvP Wammo though.

High Moral · Apr 09, 2008, 06:54 AM // 06:54

warriors = gimp!
