So I'm on a server where we just have been destroying the other severs in WvW. At the moment we own at least like 98% of the map. But I have been having trouble with my warrior now. When we go and take over locations, my warrior does great, I'm always charging in first, doing lots of damage, and using my shouts to support my team and my self. But recently I have started collecting Badges of Honor on the other maps. A lot of the times I am on my own to go get them, so I if encounter an enemy player I am usually pretty much screwed. Now, if its another warrior, or some type of melee weapon I am going up against, I usually can kick the other person's ass. But if I come up to a thief, a ranger, a Mesmer, or just anything with a range attack. I end up running away to survive. One time I walked up on a Mesmer and it was completely bullshit. He started spawning enemies around me, throwing conditions on me, and just running around, that way I couldn't hit him with my great sword. I was able to hit him with some charged attacks, but then I have to wait forever for those to recharge. ITS FUCKING BULLSHIT. Another time I encountered a thief and he just kept disappearing and was using the same strategy to run around me forcing me to chase him with a great sword. Now, you might say, just take out your bow or a rifle and use ranged attacks on them, but a warrior just does not use the attacks in the same way. I've also tried using a shield, but apparently arena net thinks you should only be able to hold it up for a few seconds and then wait forever to be able to use it again. Basically I think warriors should be exclusively be able to hold up a shield as long as they want too. But only if they have the shield out by itself. That way the warrior would still have a wait time to switch between weapons. It's kind of like having a riot shield in COD hahaha. But still just think about it, it would allow warriors to have a fair advantage when fighting someone with ranged attacks. And maybe after so many hits, the attacks start to some damage even though you are blocking. Just an idea.
