Also, you should never base a build around how effective it would be in a 1v1 situation..
So you can see how bad the situation is in RA/TA......Too often, many new players chose to be a warrior just because they assume warrior is "strong", "unbeatable", and able to outrage all other classes....
8 out of 10 times when I meet a mixed group in RA (1 or 2 Warriors + 2 or 3 casters), the warriors opt to rush to me and attack me or the other warrior(s) in my team first. They don't even think or have any "strategy". That is sad. The result is, they maybe able to kill one warrior in my team. But he/she will eventually realize that his/her whole team is dead already.
Many warriors like to challenge another warrior cuz they think that they can be "stronger" or "better", simply because they bring skills which they consider as "anti-warrior" --- Glad defense, riposte, deadly riposte, plague touch, mending, healing hands, healing breeze....all those "craps"...
I know that those skills can be effective to against warriors in a 1 on 1 situation. But I just won't do it as I know I am playing in a team match, but not a dual.
I hope there will be a 1-on-1 arena in Factions, so that all those noob warriors will see how fast a mesmer, a necromancer, an elementalist, or even a ranger kills a warrior.
Sad to see people even post a question asking which profession is better to 1 on 1 with another warrior...sigh...
