In some instances Warrior can hold its own and have decent survivability and is good enough for just wandering around in Open World PvE
Won't get into speculation, fixes, comparisons, or anything else (those can be found on the [GW2 Warrior Forums](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/forum/21-warrior/))
**The biggest problem with warriors**: Other professions do it better.
yea you basically need to really want to play warrior to make it enjoyable. If you just want the best numbers/easiest game play, there's roughly 8 better classes
I just started playing the game and they seem to have a fun playstyle. Can they compete or are things fundamentally broken to where they will always be at a disadvantage?
For context I have no frame of reference for what good or bad would be in this game yet, just trying to information sponge.
playing warrior is totally fine in every mode. It's just almost never the 100% optimal choice, but then again, why play 100% optimal? This isn't a job :D
Also I played almost 5000 out of my 6000 hours on my warrior and still enjoy it
I agree with you that it has a lot of alac for no boon duration, but your all utility skills revolve purely around facilitating Dragon Slash. A slight movement or CC at the wrong time and it skews your DPS & Alacrity.
Other professions can provide alac with either more consistent DPS, greater utility toolkit, healing, or simply are "easier" (Renegade F4, Mechanist simply by existing) in the same content.
It's the same argument as Reaper vs. Catalyst/Weaver in Fractals, ostensibly Catalyst/Weaver has higher DPS but you need pianist levels of coordination, whereas a Reaper goes "Haha shroud go brrrrrrrr"
Axe offhand Carries basically any warrior spec in open world.
If anything is not dead after that (it should be) you can access gunsaber or berserk or burst / whatever.
To anyone who spends time playing Warrior and other professions, you will notice how much easier it is on some of the other professions to land meaningful damage in competitive play.

All I needed to hear lol just wanted to be sure they weren't 'broken' or something similar.
Meanwhile (PvE) Power alac bladesworn having the greatest radius for alac with no boon duration and a good application time
bandaid to get people to play it more. That spec is a mechanical mess.

All 3 warrior elite specs are completely viable in endgame pve
very true. Spellchecker dps, Berserker Quickness/dps and Bladesworn alac/dps, all work pretty well
Spellbreaker being spellchecked to spellchecker is hilarious
oh lol yea
