Well,

I'm not uber, but I really enjoy my W/Mo character. Can I deal out massive amounts of damage? No. Can I rip thru 100 ettins in 5 sec? No.

However, I have fun. I like being able to rez my team when they die, or cast that purge conditions on someone the monk missed. I like being able to run fast, and the sword skills are all good for me, save when I fight mobs who aren't prone to bleeding.

I understand that there are a lot of W/Mo's out there, and also W/X's. However, I hardly have a difficult time finding a group. I'm currently in the Ring of Fire, but I often pop into the earlier missions to help lower level groups. I don't consider myself a veteran, nor do I consider myself a noob.

I think most of the others have phrased it well when they say, there is no real "suck" class, only "suck" players.

I've seen the warrior berserk and kamikaze attacks, but who doesnt? Isnt it obvious when the warrior runs over to a group of mobs we were trying to avoid? Isnt so easy to spot the Ranger in the back, or the caster who aggros something they shouldn't. I for one know there are just as many "bad" other class characters as there are warriors, I just dont think you can so readily see what they are doing.

Anyway, if you ever are in need of the services of a warrior, feel free to drop me a line ig.

Actually, I do notice warriors rushing a LOT more than the other classes. Yes, every once in a while someone will aggro something accidently, and usually a support class. But the warriors tend to be the ones that will rush out no matter how many times you tell them not too. I'm not saying all warriors do this, just a lot.

how about wut a warrior see?! how a team of lvl15 did 20 times better than a team of lvl18/20 full of ppl that thought they were good, calling the warrior that was a couple of meter ahead "aggro" or cuz he didnt know every single place where a spider could drop, he aggro...

or how this lvl 19 shit talker knew that there was some spider that would pop out right before that boss, and when does he say "stop lets lure the spider before the boss.... ****"?! when i finished killing the 1st one.... now thats usefull... and we all died right there, now guess who they blamed?! oh yeah the "aggro" warrior, not the healer that didnt heal before half the team was dead, not the guy that call the spiders 2 min after we killed them...

i re did that mission with some lvl15, no1 was talking, we were just running together, warrior a couple of meters ahead, at the part where we died with my last "im 1337, u all suck" group, not one party member got lower than half his health... yeah blame the warrior huh?!?

and i got tons of other story like that, like this ranger in the mission with the orr staff, he went straight to the tower full of whitemantle, when I (the 5 IQ warrior) did a nice lil path around them, or this lvl 20 monk that died more often than any1, and guess who the monk was blaming?!

thats wut being good is about?! blaming that fact that u suck on some1 else?! and no, i never had trouble with "aggro" warrior when im a monk, cuz i stfu and go heal him, and usually the team follow him, they dont stand there screaming "aggro aggro",or i let him die if hes really doing something stupid...

hmm with everyone saying people who play warriors are N00bs maybe they are the most challenging class to master and be effective..

As with Lord Drenth said you ever find your self wanting a good warrior my IGN is Grandma Dasha

This thread is pretty funny, I gotta chime in too.
I just started out here as a W/Mo. I bought the game with two other friends, and they wanted to play casters. So I picked the tank.

As for the W/Mo not healing anyone else? That's funny. Usually the warrior is way too busy to go healing anyone else. Sure, just stand there and get hit another 10 times while trying to heal a party member. My party isn't full of idots and knows I probably don't have time to heal, but I do equip resurrection for the party. As far as weak, I'm giving up a precious skill slot for the party - Resurrect doesn't do me any good.

As far as tactics, it seems there are just as many options for the Warrior as the other classes. You can say playing any class is easy and basic - warrior, stand and swing sword. Caster sit back and dish out damage, or disrupt. Monk heal.

See, every time a bunch of ideologues jump into one of these discussions pretending to be the "good side" of the W/Mo class, the real deal comes down here and wrecks everything. So sad. So funny.

The End of the Debate.

Last night did Ring of Fire mission. Party of 8, 3 W/Mo's, 3 E's, Lina and Menhlo.

2 minutes into mission 2 of 3 E's drop....typical. Third E died many times but gutted it out. One W/Mo died once the other died twice. My W/Mo did not die at all. All W/Mo's had rez of some sort.

So, 3 Warriors working together with 2 heal henchies and a 60% DP Elementalist beat the Ring of Fire mission on the first try.

Thank God for the nOOb W/Mo plague sometimes. Although they are a good starting character, I agree that to be a good one requires skill just like any other character.

It is the player not the character class that matters. Always has been, always will be....period.

If you want more good warriors for your groups help the new players that lean towards the melee class learn how to use their character properly and stopp all this WA/MO's suck etc etc.

I agree. My main character is w/mo and I love playing it (it isn`t boring at all). I have many times seen how eles, necros, mesmers and sometimes even monks have charged right into mobs and then (after they got killed) blamed me because I didn`t heal them. I tried to explain that don`t charge, let`s plan a bit, I attack and you use spells etc. but no, it was all my fault.

Many times I have been forced to act as main healer in the group because casters aggro mobs all the time. And like everyone knows, with warrior`s energy reserves healing other characters is pretty difficult.

My point is that the problem is not with warriors, the problem is with the bad players. Not all warriors are bad players.

I recently changed from a W/E to a W/M. I got tired of being a weak elementalist and decided I might as well be a weak healer. So far, I'm happy with the decision. If people don't want me for PUGs, so be it. I'll live.
