Over all state of warrior.

[JinONplay.8905]

In short , Warrior is just moderate in PVE and below average in PVP, Attacks are slow and very easy to dodge. Utilities well most of them are utterly useless and definitely needs reworks on most of it's utilities for PVE and PVP wise, in PVE warrior has become nothing more than a banner slave, whether people like to admit or not that is all warrior is worth in PVE. in PVP....wow is it has become terrible, I remember when Warrior was not exactly too strong but it was still strong, Now.. It's in a very sad state in PVP. very slow telegrahps that even a newbie can dodge it's attacks, builds are very limited for PVP that even though it has the largest weapon arsenal that it can use, the lack luster buffs and traits in most of it's specs makes those large arsenal of weapons useless. The berserker spec cannot be used in PVP, even if it was it's -300 toughness( which is a lot) makes it a spec that can't allow itself to be hurt even though it is a damage dealing spec for close combats since it's range weapons are just blatant terrible. Even as support or damage role for PVP warrior is simply outshined by other classes that has better support builds. They say warrior is the most "balanced" class in the game But  because of it's "balance" that other classes over shadows it. Some people will disagree with this because some just hated the warrior before the CC nerf (by which heavily affected warrior in lots of ways). Some would say warrior is in a "good" place. but said "good" place is that only because of it's banners for PVE and just a CC no damage support for PVP that can barely keep up as a duelist in plat and above matches. Developers, Let's face it, no longer has intentions to remove warrior in it's terrible state. Because, 1 They cannot Rework or touch warrior traits without having to do the same to the other classes, 2 is that because of it's CC nerf (dealing no more damage in PVP) Everyone who mains other than warrior before the CC nerf complained too much  for it's long duration CC chains doesn't want warrior to shine again, 3 is that the developers Can not nerf or remove the other classes traits because of course players who mains other classes will get mad that the traits and skills that makes their classes strong is touched. 

 

And So Warrior will never be again stand as one of the rest of the classes because of it's "balanced" class.

I enjoy Warrior in PVE. Also I would add that Warrior is top tier in pve.

for pvp, i would rahter play any other class because I can achieve the same or better outcome with less effort.

Only reason I stick to warrior for competitive modes is because 1st, I actually feel the most confident when playing warrior. I know every step I make and how it will affect me. 2nd because why not? Like, killing people who can't tell your animations? Kek

Yea, OP's summary is correct. Though I don't know if warrior haters are the reason for CC to be nerfed in competitive modes. I'll take your word for it.

 

After playing with most classes since launch, the most obvious problem with warrior imo is its lack of flow. Most other classes' abilities lead into the others and has a nice synergy going that includes their traits. We're usually floundering trying to CC/immobilize trying to get our damage off. As most warrior mains know, without Warrior's Sprint, movement buff or impairing our target somehow, its hard to land. Our traits are also spread strangely and always seem never quite cohesive enough.

 

I just hope with the new espec that it'll at least be cool or powerful or thematically nice to have. Someone suggested that our new weapon might be an offhand focus that is an incense burner. I almost threw up. Hopefully, we get something great.

I'm down for something that makes me feel like a warrior rather than knives and torches XD
