Believe it or not, near minerals springs and on the fire island chain there is a lack of warriors sometimes.

I was around that area yesterday in one of those towns and yes the group we formed had our one ranger whose pet cat was the tank and the rest are spell casters! We waited for 5 minutes and not even one fighter showed up. Dunno where have all the warriors ran off to? I backed out my perspective on the town and nothing but casters. But then we had a heck of a fun time trying to stay alive with no tanks! our one monk worked over time and I spammed well of blood like no tomorrow. That's what i call fun!

lol, They were all doing chest runs at kryta, insane, guildy told me that throughout the 3 american districts there were thousands of lvl 20 warriors running in and out, they seriously need to fix that chest run.

I am in no way an "expert" in GW or have gone far enough in the game to know all the ins-and-outs, but I really like to hold on to the idea that a party does not need a certain class to survive. Yes, it might make things easier with a monk or a warrior, but I like to think that they're not a necessity. Thus, I enjoy reading post that support that idea.

were you in a full district. cuz that sounds very surprising. unless those ppl were playing their non-warrior characs at that time.hehe.

also. what time was it. might have been that too.

only time ive seen a warrior shortage was on those districts with a total of like 5 ppl, and i was the only war.

but i guess anythings possible.

Perhaps people have finally realized that playing as a warrior is boring as hell?

its because on the high up quests and junk few warriors actually make it near the end mission due to stupidity etc or people not wanting to group them because almost all the people i've grouped with treat "us" (the warriors) like we're half brain dead and needy children when some of "us" actually have some common sense and know that running into a pack of 47 lava spiders isnt the smartest thing to do

that and most people are discouraged from playing a NOOBIE character with posts like

"My Me/N i so totalled owened an entire warrior team in HoH under 38 seconds SOLO"

or

"My E/Mo and how i single handedly tanked 27 W/Mo and W/R without running out of energy ONCE"

or

"My ultra elite build for shutting down warriors without even using 3 energy"

its not what people want to see, all the constant posts of how warriors are bad and etc warriors arent bad they are the back bone and main line before a caster ass is castrated in pve....pvp its different i can understand why W in general hardly get any HoH unless its guild only but it depends on the player the right warrior can make that certain E spiker with the ultra elite blinding spells eat his/her/words and those people talking about nuking from long range and etc a warrior is still a good character to play you can dis the W/Mo but there are other variants to play with


just gonna end it with not all warriors are noobs

I must say the abuse warriors have taken in these threads are appalling. I myself have a warrior and know that plenty of the comments made have been earned by the few that think they are invincible but you dont see us posting threads about the mistakes all the different caster class people make. 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.

ummmm after finishing the game on 3 characters i can tell you that MOST warriors are not good and harm your team. it is not a "few" likeyou say, it is MOST!!!

how many missions have i been on where the warrrior listens to no one, and just goest straight into mobs. countless.

soplease do not try and say that good wariors are in the majority cause that is simply not accurate from what i have seen in 800+ hours playing

I once got two good warriors in the same group. I said in local chat "Group needs two tanks. Must have an IQ of over 5". I netted one good W/E, and a W/M with an IQ of 6

Obviously you have very limited experience with this game then. Ever stop to think that instead of crying about how the "new" warriors dont play right you might try and help your TEAM develop and implement a STRATEGY. The "new" player may not listen at first but after seeing the strategy work while they are lying dead in the dirt they will get the lesson eventually. The only thing that is a variable is how much time they spend laying face down learning before they start to work as a team. But since you dont seem to have enough experience with this game yet maybe you will learn this soon enough. See ya in the HOH ina couple years.

I would have to say 80-90% of the warriors that I personally have run into are either morons or a huge liability (not all, only the ones I've run into).

You really sound so seasoned and mature in your postings. Wager hmmm sounds like someone is pretty insecure about their actual standings and capability.

actually the majority of warriors ... I have only met about 10 in 2 months ... thats a majority ... maybe I'm looking in the wrong area, is there another continent I am unaware of. A warrior is an eas'ier' profession to play, but you can actually play different side then the point and shoot. Many noobs are unaware of this unfortunately ...

As a former W/mes I can say I saw a lot of characters played incorrectly but for the most part it was the W/Mo that thought they were indestructible that caused the majority of the problems. That is not to say I haven't seen a fair amount of other classes also thinking they are gods gift to the group.

very true my friend very very true

it just happens that a warriors mistakes are usuall deaddly to all while a casters is not.

that is why it is a huge risk to have one you do not know on your team

Please dont cry. I was merely trying to help you learn but if you are that sensitive and are going to get emotional I will let you learn at your own pace.

I'm a warrior and i know not to rush into hordes of enemies, how to pull, how to wait for casters mana to recharge.
I think it's most people that are morons, not just the warriors.

Just the other day we had an elementalist in Elona tell us that we had to run through the horde of minotaurs at the beginning and not to fight any of them.
After running to a dead end and dying from thirty minotaurs beating on him, he started calling us retards for not following him and logged out. wtf???

Anyway, i've seen every class rush ahead, not listen, and do stupid crap equally.
So don't assume every warrior you meet is an idiot =)

exactly, there are good and bad players in every class, i still remember when game first launched(not the beta things, unfortunately eb had'nt given me my cd key yet) i couldnt find groups because i was a necro, and everyone was saying at the time they were completely broken and worthless, so i got just about everything done only with henches , my point is just because there are stereotypes about classes, it doesnt by any means make it true

Nobody has said that there are no "good and bad" players in every class.



Just that the amount of morons are higher with warriors, esp. wa/mo.

And after them come rangers with some elfish name...



...and fire-elemental-tanks.

I've been in quite a few PuGs (nearly all of which were very good) and have never seen a warrior behave in a stupid manner. I've seen a couple of elementalists who did questionable things, as well as a monk who was did his best to get everyone killed. The warriors, on the other hand, were sensible and useful. I don't doubt the general consensus. I just haven't seen much evidence of it yet. I suppose I will eventually.

It's easier to find something negative about a certain group or class when that's what you're looking for. Ever wonder why you notice all of the people driving the same car as you once you've bought one? People didn't suddenly start buying the same car as you just because you like it.

80-90% are idiots? I hardly think so. Maybe in someone's mind's eye they see it that way, but the odds are they probably don't remember all the good (or even mediocre) experiences they had, while the bad ones stand out clearly. Ok, maybe even the mediocre ones are getting lumped in as well. But our bad memories seem to color our opinion about people more than our good (or even unmemorable) ones, so keep that in mind before you hasten to make disparaging remarks.
