I've been playing GW2 off and on since its release but I've only started playing ranked PvP last season. I've mained Warrior from the beginning and went through a phase where I tried to learn an Elementalist. Last season I finished in S3 and for the current season, I'm in G2. Lately, I've been getting roasted and flamed hard for being terrible lol. I'll admit I'm not great, however there's usually no constructive criticism so I really don't know what I'm doing wrong or how I can improve. I have mostly used the great axe build that I found through metabattle and recently tried SB. I feel more comfortable with the core axe/shield combo but I was reading SB is a better option. I don't understand how tether works and I don't think I'm really seeing the benefit of SB at this point. So some questions, what is the true role of the warrior in PvP? How much damage should I be doing a game (on average)? Are the meta builds good for someone at my level? I typically try to cap if I don't see my team near a node. I also try to join team fights where I'm often left to die with little support. At this point, I don't expect to ever reach platinum or anything but I figured if I'm in G2 and being told I'm terrible, maybe there is some hope for me lol. Any thoughts or guidance is appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read my post!
