Misconception. Say a mesmer is giving your monk a horrible time and, as a warrior, you choose to do nothing (or are blissfully unaware of the situation) but try to pound away at the enemy monk who is kiting you plus occassionaly casting guardian on self. As a result, your monk gets key skills diversioned and when the opposing team gets their warrior clean even for a moment, someone on your team dies. Bad warriors do get people killed.

The easiest way to disrupt a mesmer or any caster, ranger, or assassin for that matter is to stick a warrior in their face, because quite frankly kiting is quite disruptive to a player's job.

A bad warrior tends to get monks killed as Divineshadows pointe out. A bad warrior won't score kills and it is kills as much as healing that wins a game. If offense isn't able to provide kills, you aren't going to win no matter how pro your monk is.

I'd take a great warrior and a bad monk over a noob warrior and a great monk. A great monk will keep you alive against poor players, where a great warrior can kill a poor player and take a good player out of the game.

Doesn't work that way buddy, monks don't have infinite energy and if a warrior doesn't understand how to pressure targets, shut down or KD that mesmer which is taking out your teams monk and blacking him out it doesn't matter.

Warrior is the easiest class to play since they have such high armor and self healing / dmg reducing abilities, and one of the toughest to find players that understand how to play it offensively. <Sarcasm> Hmm why is that?
