Ultra Blended Warrior [does all of the above]

I'm kinda confused by this statement....but I know this, having Rend Enchant on a Warrior seems more logical to me than on a caster. Maybe on a R/N over a Warrior fine, but I still think it's alright on a W/N. Just my 2 cents. yea ok i reread what i wrote and it did omce out rather weird. well heres what i meant in a nutshell: theoretically, in a perfect world, you debuff the target right after you managed to do like 50% damage with whatever your attack was, and the optimal time for it to go off is right after the seed/prot spirit was loaded on.

so consider both cases:
1) warrior attacks unbuffed taregt, bringing him/her/it down to 50%. monks kick in, and target runs (this is like what always happens, its not really specific if you think about it). now target has like near full hp, and is loaded with buffs. so the warrior starts casting rend while... everyone else... watches. by the time you done casting (its like 4 seconds) target has run away and is at full hp

2) blablabla same beginning, now warrior is attacking a heavily buffed target and is doing nothing. necro casts rend, all of a sudden warrior is dropping target really fast, monks spamming, you either drop/not drop depending on alot of outside factors but in either case its better than case one.

you can make the argument that there are multiple warriors, but in either case one warrior will have to stop and rend, effectively making him a caster for that period, and casters have much better energy management and 20% chances of doing it faster.. mesmers have fastcasting... tehre are loads of reasons for choosing a caster over a warrior.

that wasnt a nutshell... more like some kind of coconut shell, but i hope it cleared up my point =/

Thx for the reply smurfhunter, those are some valid and interesting points...thx! hey np. thanks for pointing out my unclearness or something

You're kind of forgetting something. Casters are targetted, a LOT. A Lot more than a warrior. Yes, people will just 'watch' as you do rend... [I think they're usually fighting off other problems aside from watching you, you're a warrior...]

What's more, when I lose 100+ hp, I can afford to because I'm tougher than the avg bear. When a caster loses 100+ hp, he's as good as toast since he's got very little defending him from hard hits. uh he has 2 heal monks and a prot. unless its an odd build. but generally speaking, 2 heal monks and 1 monk = more than enough. when playing as an emo, if i get attacked, i just ignore. there is really no way to drop one target without a concentrated spike if you target just the one. hence the BA aoe effect - it considerably drains a monks energy trying to heal all the damage.

and as a caster, if im casting rend and i get attacked, i dont stop casting rend and run... i let the monks handle it. its their job. ofcourse im not totally weird about it, and yes i do run because some warriors still dont have sprint with them, but generally speaking, i wouldnt get too excited about running. and you are not 'as good as toast'. casters have the same hp as a tank, on my tanks i have about 485 without a bonus. (sup weapon + vigor + 30 hp). casters have just about the same. you lose 100 hp on a caster its the same as losing it on a tank. the thing is it takes longer for them to drop you 100 damage if your a tank vs being a caster, thats where the difference is.

and if healing seed didnt exist i might agree with you, but as it stands healing seed + prot spirit + shielding hands (or just any two of those) = no kill. ofcourse they debuff but im just ignoring everything but the caster and the actual damage s/he takes (and the monks, ignoring them would be kind of dumb)
