Cal and Roy, since you are removing tradeoffs...

I think the last time Warrior could "reliably" play ranged was the early days of HoT with Gunflame and how you could tag like 5+ people with like 8k+ damage each. They nerfed that into the abyss. Now you can't even really meme with it anymore.

actually killshot saw the light of day as well here and there.

 

now t3 killshot hit for as much damage as some classes' autos 🤣

I'm pretty sure if they had left Warrior as the only class not to get a damage reduction in the Feb 2020 patch it would have been just fine seeing as everything else did exponentially more damage compared to Warrior prior to then. You would see a 12k Eviscerate...maybe. Sometimes. Rarely. On Light Armor. Even with proper "setup" whereas, at the time, you had Soulbeasts just nonchalantly dropping 25k Mauls like they just sneezed or something onto Heavy Armor.

rangers could do that with Rapid Shot at 1400 range without risk and a LB4 knockback opener with quickness and steroids like sic em and one wolf pack to boot.

 

if you're a bit unawares or have slightly poor latency you're done.

 

not to mention sitting on 2 signet of stone, stealth from lb3 and mobility from gs to run away or like you said just smack you for 25k mauls in melee.

 

when i played other classes, just their autos made me question my existence as a warrior main. 🤣

Yeah, it's pretty tiresome these days. My guild laughs at me whenever I play one of my alts, because I'm always shouting into the mic about how much easier it is to execute damage on a non-warrior character.

Sustain too. I was taking a core thief through EoD this weekend, on an alt account, and even there I had an easier time with sustain than I did with my core warrior alt accounts I took through EoD.

On a thief. Like how TF do those guys go down in PvE ever. Seriously. So many evades and I see those shady MF'ers go down left and right when I'm on my warrior.

Because if you don't use those evades, you can get nailed fast on thief. But yeah, overall thief is probably easier to survive on in open world than warrior as long as you don't go full greed.

The Shadow Arts rework makes it hard to die as well fwiw.
