I've been playing a warrior for about a year now, mostly on wvw. Avarage score of mine was 1:10 win/death in 1 on 1. Now it's about 3:10 and getting better. Never tried any other classes, cause warrior is a reall challenge for me. And that's what i like about him.Yes, arenanet want to see the warrior as a front line meat. I've tryed many builds, but tanky SB with hammer and mace/horn is my best card in zerg so far. CC is my all, and pretty allways being "last man standing" with guardian.
