[Bring back half of the orignal damage from CC of Warriors]

Mfw i read people saying that warriors "aren't as bad as warrior mains make them out to be" and yet everyone that has a modicum of pvp experiences flatly agrees that the entire class is dead. 

Use your brain; A class that has the slowest and most telegraphed attacks in the entire game, that needs to set up every single attack to have a chance at landing it and the damage isn't even comparable in the slightest to any of any other power class

Power Shiro can land you an upfront frontloaded burst of 20k+ in a few seconds flat.

 Core Rangers can do almost as much damage as a Power Shiro while having a pet that constantly draws out rolls and other defensives. 

 Daredevils are superior roamers with way better utility and pressure.

 Holosmiths have five times as much pressure output while also having better burst.

Reapers have more utility, sustain and survivability.

What DOES warrior excel in? Absolutely nothing. It's only redeeming grace? Battle Standard to finish people off before the enemy support can pick the downed target back up. That's it. 

The saddest thing? It'll never change. Anet will spend the very very few resources allocated to warriors to try and balance Bladetrash, a class that has already been declared dead on arrival. 

Jolly good! 👍

[PvP is an awful experience with an easy fix]

Gold and Plat is literally just win trading now. I see obvious wintraders constantly getting reported and nothing being done about them.

The PvP experience in this game is so atrocious it has reached the point that i'd rather go back to playing with bots in my team.

["""Master of weaponry""" (lol)]

100Blades has to be the one, if not THE, most stupid weapon ability in the entire game. Difficult to set up properly and no payoff whatsoever.

I've honestly got no idea why it's a thing still. It's a relic from 2013 and it shows, but then again, so is the entire warrior class

[Hypothetically, if a certain publisher bought GW2, how quickly would you leave?]

I mean, the few developers remaining are creatively bankrupt and/or obviously severely understaffed at this point. The latest expansion is evidence enough. A new publisher is the least of the game's concerns.

GW2 has been bleeding players for a very long time now. A miracle happened in the form of WoW having a stroke, then falling down the stairs just to end in a pit of boiling oil that is the lawsuit situation. That revitalized the game a bit, but even that breath of fresh air is on it's last legs and the new expansion isn't hyping basically absolutely anyone i know.

The game needs a breath of fresh air and if that means a new publisher then so be it. If the publisher then decides to ruin the game, it'll just hasten the slow bleeding the game has been suffering for so long. The end result is the same regardless of who's at the helm if things don't change

[new player, are warriors that bad?]

Bannerslave warrior has a use in pve. That's it

For pvp, warriors are "hot trash" tier. SB is instead in the "trash" tier.

Telegraphed attacks, high skill floor, requires in-depth knowledge of other classes to even stand a chance, low payoff. 

Playing Warrior, especially core, is like playing a class from 2013 while everyone else is playing classes from 2021. If you're into BDSM or a masochist and are aching for the sweet pleasure of pure pain and suffering then Warrior is the class for you.

I mean for the love of kittening god, since the CC changes a while back warrior's hammer burst ability deals NO DAMAGE. You literally play without the core feature of the class lmfao. If that doesn't explain how bad warriors are idk what else to tell you.
