Swords are good with D slash, axe with triple chop / whirling axe. Add splinter weapon for more fun.

Enraging Charge, NSP, Flail and Res Sig can be ran on a non-Hammer bar aswell...
NSP is just bad to start.

And Whirling Axe...do you mean Cyclone Axe?

At that other build, remove PvE-only skills. Asuran Scan makes your damage go whoa high, and I'm sure if you run it on a D-Slasher you'll be messing everything up.

I have a level 20 warrior, but all she does is sit on the shelf collecting dust.

i remember back when i used to PvE only that i made a vow to never make a warrior. My experiences with warriors back then generally involved stupid PvE warriors who tended to over aggro and lose missions, who would shout at monks who didnt keep them alive. Suffice to say i didnt have a very positive view on warriors.

Then when i started PvPing i decided to start playing warrior after a while because you could find a team easier if you knew how to call on a warrior.

Now warrior is one of my main roles.

how things change when you transition from PvE to PvP!

But a rather uninformed opinion, no? You admittedly judged a profession without even doing a single quest.

Not me. (And yes I have played them in PVP and found them boring)

I could say the exact same thing about Monks. That's not to say that Monks suck, just that I don't enjoy playing as them. Different strokes for different folks. Seeing as how the Warrior class is the most popular (which as I've pointed out earlier is a big reason why it has a larger amount of bad players), more people would prefer to be hitting things.

I have a warrior. My main reason for actually having one is simply that I like the elite armor that warriors have. Though I do use him, I frequently use Warrior's Endurance in my builds.

You may piss off a wammo that way, but I doubt it will bother a Shock Axe much as he cuts you down. Gets hexed? Oh, hi, we have these things called monks, because presumably you'd be playing in a team. So, you know, hex removal. 1v1 is pretty much meaningless.

If you're going to use scrubs and try to generalize and claim that all warriors are mending-using idiots, then I'll generalize and ask you to carry something other than Firestorm on your elementalist.

You start at level 1, so this basically means you rolled a warrior and then deleted without playing it. So I would ask you to stop talking out of your ass.

You're dealing with a scrub RA farmer (a professional leaver actually) here that always got denied in TA and brags about RA-idiots standing in his savannah heat.

Now if you really insist on trying to convince such kind of a player then good luck to you.

Lets just say my warrior does quite a lot of DUMB damage and well, though i like her looks i hardly play with that char.

In my opinion i think warriors are a bit overused and overrated, its not that they are useless, just every single nub has one with pigs armor.

Agreed. You forgot to mention "Don't watch the battlefield and just press C + Space", though.

As Bryant said, it's usually because in many games, you have a sword-swinging hero. And in others, Paladins (D2 yeye).
They come in thinking they're good after achievements that are not good at all. But I don't understand where the entire "Omfg heal heal stupid n00b" attitude comes in...

Dervishs truly made warriors obsolete. They accomplished what sins couldnt. Why have a warrior (besides the looks and hammer knock downs) when you can have the much more versatile dervish?

Because Dervishes really aren't that good, they have good skills that other classes can use better, but Dervishes themselves kind of suck. Okay well maybe they don't suck because they do have their nice little healing skill that that all of them use in PvP.

Look at the Warrior bar you usually see in GvG.
3 second KD's, 2 of them on a bar (Bull's Strike, Shock).
Interrupt, D-Chop.

Then you have your common skills.
Evis, Exe Strike, Frenzy, Rush and ofcourse, Res Sig.

With Dervs, sure you can use secondary professions, but they don't get a movement stance, an 100% upkeep IAS, 3 second KD's (two on the bar) and a 20 disable interrupt.

Warriors also have higher armour.

Now let's take a full look at Dervs. HoF, not 100% upkeep. Unless you hit the bonus on your 20% Enchantments staff. AoM, which can't be kept up indefinately unless in PvE. Lack of Stonefist Insignia.

But yeah, Dervs make a better (What I like to call) Energy Spiker.
On the other hand, again, Warriors get 100% upkeep IAS, cheap speedboost, more KD time, and a sexy interrupt.

Dervs aren't nearly as versatile in competetive play, because people usually carry certain counters (e.g - Enchantment Removal) that are common. And AoM isn't 100% upkeep, if it was, it would be imba. Also HoF isn't 100% upkeep. Which also poses a problem.

^ This is the quality of players who play warrior.

Warrior is pretty similar to Assassin - in the sense that the bad players are attracted to them. For every Warrior or Assassin who knows what he/she is doing, there will be at least 10 morons running around giving the class a bad name. Plus there's the stereotype that "Warriors are tanks, they have no damage dealing capabilities." So that means Warrior and Assassin are written off as "the worst classes" when in truth, they can spit out some pretty scary damage.

My Warrior is my first and main character - had her for 33 months already, and she's got 8 (soon to be 10) maxed titles. I'm still going for that Phoenix.

I have 2 warriors [one of each gender], it's not my preferred class though it's fun to bash around for a bit. And yes, my male warrior has man-bra armor :P Man-bra & Skirt armor FTW!

Perhaps it's a good thing there's so many warriors out there

The "Post Your Ugly Armor Combinations!" thread would be so much slimmer without our armored friends.

One question I've got, is why would you have two characters of the same class?

If you played during prophecies and didn't have a warrior you basically had nothing to strive for, weapons-wise.

The amount of caster weapons that dropped with usable stats was extremely low, most of them being raven staves.

Besides, before the paragons, Warriors were the only 80 base armor profession and only ones that could wield shields to full potential without a secondary.

Playing a PVE warrior is pretty boring though.

Simple. 2 accounts. ^^

I made my first warrior [female] on my first account. Then after I got hopelessly obsessed with the game, I bought a Collectors Edition [which is now my main account].

And what's so wrong with man-bra & skirt armor? :P

Oh... right, never thought about 2 accounts o_O Interesting.. well, I've heard of some people who have multiple PvE chars of one class on one account...

I'm not talking about that armor, more like... think Pigmail chest, 1k Gladiator hands, ringmail legs, and 1k Wyvern boots. Those little beauties you unearth every now and then.

I've played for more then two years and I've only made one warrior when I started out. It only lasted about two weeks until I deleted him.
