I've played around with a couple builds now and it just feels lackluster overall. I say a couple builds but lets be honest there is no versatility in this spec, it is what it is. The spec is just meant to hit that big number but the rest feels terrible and pointless and doesn't fit in any content.
Gunsaber: it has the burst and the rest of the attacks are lackluster and hit like a wet noodle.
Pistol: Warrior really didn't need another close range weapon and it doesn't feel like it adds anything to the "bladesworn" concept.
Flow: Takes forever to build up, in open world it's pointless, i could just auto attack the enemy and it'll be dead loooong before i've built up enough flow.
Utilities: Flow Stabilizer is simply a must have which is annoying for group content because it means all our utilities are decided before even starting (ie banners).
Elite: Was way better in beta 1
It feels like a mess of concepts, there's gunsaber, ammunition, flow and then random utilities thrown in. Like we have to generate flow to load ammunition? wtf is that? Flow takes so long to build up I may as well just kill the enemies with auto attacks. The spec doesn't feel like it's good in any game mode.
Overall as a Warrior main since GW1, I just want something new and interesting for Warrior, this is the same old banner warrior with a slow burst instead of a bunch of little ones (Berserker). The class has so much potential and it's eternal purpose in the game is to carry banners. It's sad and it's been going on for far too long.
Also: let us sheath the gunsaber ... pls
While we're here we may as well list some of the other issues with warrior.
Rifle is terrible
Hammer is terrible
Swords are terrible
fast hands baseline
no real ranged options
adrenaline loss is horrible
Spellbreaker utilities are literal garbage
