Need help! :)

Hey guys!

I've decided to main a Warrior again after so long and I've dug into the builds on Meta Battle, but I could do with some opinions and help big time.
Currently I'm running Power Berserker axe/axe and gs build, it's simple and pretty quick which is nice, but after playing Mirage mesmer I realized that warrior is soooo squishy...I'm struggling to survive on many encounters before I can even get close to deal actual damage to an enemy. 
I imagine it just takes practice to get into how warrior plays, but as Mirage I felt immortal in open world, Fractals, Strikes.

Anyhow, I was wondering what's the preferred build in general.
How is Condi warrior vs Power warrior? What do you prefer?
And also any tips on holding your ground against tougher enemies? 

Thanks! 🙂

I just read 'warrior' and 'squishy' in the same sentence 😭 that said if this is PvE, play with healbrand or druid and have faith in their heals. If that is not enough the take Endure Pain and/or Defiant Stance and face tank for 8s.

Yeah it's mostly PvE. 
I got really surprised to see how very few hits a warrior needs before getting downed...compared to Mirage that is literally invincible 😧
I dare not try PvP though, I'm bad at it with any profession hahah.
Open World is just so much harder as a warrior now, I guess I need to get into it more and be more careful.

Appreciate your tips, I may need to take some defensives!

Some other tips:

Might Makes Right and Mending Might along with warrior's might generation gives a large amount of sustain. Though for FotM you should be going full power dps Berserker.

 

Warrior doesn't get the self preservation cheese that other classes get, they get high base armor, high base health, and lots of small heals.
