My warrior is my main. She's getting all the titles and I am enjoying every minute of it.

She's not as much fun as my mesmer, but I still think warriors rock.

I enjoy Warrior the most. No warrior means no interest in the game for me.

Warriors are good at damages.
Tanks are bad.
Why are tanks bad? They provide a safe and easy way for teams with poor cooperation (pugs) to complete missions/quests/elite zones in a pretty efficient and quick manner.

Yes for "pro elite guru @#&$@&#$ players" they may seem nooby, but hey. People use 'em, and they may not be better than an organized team with out a tank, but they're your best bet out of any other options.

Tanks are also outdated due to the introduction of SY and Ursan. Plus you can just have a Monk protting you while you be what I like to call a "Makeshift Tank", basically I'm not useless if aggro breaks.

Edit -- I'm still waiting on my cookie, damnit!

None here. I did have one in pve, a female (with pigtails), because I liked watching her pigtails rubberband when moving side to side really fast. Deleted her after it was no longer amusing.

indeed.

I started a factions warrior, got to level 13, got bored hacking and slashing, deleted.

Then I waited a few months, ended up restarting the warrior, in factions again. Got to level 20, got through Nahpui, got the warrior as far as Vabbi, and as far as ToA.

Then I got bored hacking a slashing, sold all his weps and shields, and now he's a mule.

Playing warrior just does nothing for me, dunno why. I really prefer ranger, rit, paragon, necro and mesmer.

On a side note.... I have TWO level 4 eles that I do nothing with, either.

You just lost the Internet. Congratulations.

Personally I'd restart a Warrior if, well... actually, hell, I might restart one anyways.

I still have the belief that warriors are the worst class in GW. Ive still never had a PUG Warrior that wasnt some kind of sword tank.

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!'

Dont get me wrong, there are a few great warriors out there.

Koss, Jora and Goren

And no I dont have a warrior. Along with dervishes, I find them to be the most boring class. Sins made melee fun for me though by adding speed and some skill to melee. And I guess dervishes are good for orders with paragons, or if you use any attribute line other then scythe mastery XD

Elly, monk, rit and mes here for PVE.

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.

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

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!")

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.
