I have a huge disagreement with a part of GW. I have noticed that out of ALL the character professions the warriors are getting jipped....out of energy.
Thats right warriors at lvl 20 with Marhans Grotto Gladiators armor max out at
27-28 energy with only +2 energy regeneration. Why is this? In my opinion it's a total rip off. I've seen elemist with over 100+ energy and monks,necros,and mesmers with 60+ energy. Rangers even have over 35+ energy with +4 regeneration. So why is it that warriors only get 27-28 energy with +2 regeneration? Maybe I'm just crazy to think that my warrior needs more energy and more regeneration. You tell me am I the only one who thinks warriors are being jipped?

Well they are the only class with adrin skills to balance off the exchange.

probably one of the few.

Warriors very rarely have to use any spell that costs more than 5-10 energy, and in most builds, the bulk of their skills require no energy at all (adrenaline, signets).

Omg eles are being jipped! They only get 60 AL!!1111

Warriors have less energy + energy regen because they dont rely on energy as much as other classes. A warrior without energy is still viable because of the existence of adrenaline skills, something exclusive to the warrior class.

Not to mention the Warrior's ability to pile up on defence.

K, with gladiators, +1 mastery helm, ascalon/knights boots, and optionaly stonefist gauntlets you will have 25-26 energy.

Rangers have 3 energy regen.

Warriors are getting "jipped" because they simply don't need the energy. Elementalists have a primary attribute that increases their max energy. Warriors on the other hand have adrenal skills. You don't need energy. You also have several ways to regain energy using only warrior skills, floruish and warriors endurance are both elite and ways you can regain energy.. There's also bonettis defense PvE wise....

I beleive you aren't the only one who thinks what you do. But I think once you understand the game mechanics you won't think so at all.

A warrior strictly relying on energy is a dumb build you'll find out. Adrenaline makes them useful, they can throw up 2 enchantments and rely on their good armor and adrenaline to make themselves useful.

El Oh El.

Anyways, why do you want that freaking large energy pool for a Warrior? Tell me, please.

Please look at other threads comparing Elementalists and Warriors; there are plenty (last time I checked).

If you want to do damage, you don't need no stinking energy.

However if you want to cast a lot, you are in trouble.

Haha, but isn't it a hamstring + fire storm combo on the back of the GW box? Something like "rain fire upon your foe as he slowly limps away"

Okay, lets give warriors 100 energy with 4 pips. You now have tough casters. Why would you choose a caster as a primary profession then?

Warriors get the highest defence and damage of any class. (and the highest damage is without skills...with skills they do way more than any other class)

Sure why not...give them more energy, better armor too...and everything!

(actually a lvl 20 warrior has no less regen or energy that any other class. All of their extra energy and regen comes from their armor. Anyone who says a lvl 20 character has more than 2 regen and 20 energy is lieing)

You are one of the few, wrong, people who are of that opinion. Warriors have the best damage output in the game. Plus, they have adrenaline based skills that put out nasty spikes. They don't need a buff to their energy regeneration.
