Warrior - state of play

[LordBriars]

So I'm close to mastering the warrior class and I'm wondering how each of the current warrior specs are currently doing in both PVP and PVE. Currently, having looked at both the wiki , in-game skill lists and searching through the forums, I've seen a few inconsistencies; the biggest being everything related to dreadknight which I understand had some issues lately. Any confirmations, suggestions and most importantly facts would be very helpful - thanks for reading

Samurai: If you like high DPS (Damage per second), but not so heavy armor. Samurai has low HP and bad armor compared to the other warrior specs. Their skills are great for 1v1 pvp, but not good for fighting outnumbered. Really good PvE class.

Dreadknight: If you like high HP, great armor and good skills. DK got low damage, but can use full iron and diamond helmet/boots. The DK HP is the second highest of all classes and DK do well surviving big pvp battles considering their armor and HP. The skills is mostly offensive.

Paladin: Defensive class, low damage and high HP. Paladins has the highest amount of HP of all classes and the best armor (Full iron, diamond chest and leg). They have only one offensive skill (Soulfire), the rest is healing and defensive skills. Good for tanking, but bad for mindless slaughter.

Dragoon: Mobility and damage. Dragoons got very good mobility with the skill jump and their damage is decent. Their armor was nerfed a bit on Dragongarde (Chain helm/boot, iron chest, diamond legging). Great deal of HP. They have many good skills that matches their mobility.

I'm a Samurai, good DPS is my thing.

I would make a Warrior, then Spec as a Dragoon because the look and sound utterly badass...

But I already became a caster I dont have have enough cash ./sigh

Thanks for the input, I chose Samurai to lower downtime and I like the general feel of an offensive sword class. Any tips for soloing rangers and healers?

For rangers, you should strafe. For healers, well, I dont know.

Healer: Use a speed potion, run up to them and hunt them down with your diamond sword.

All specs are good. People who say a certain spec sucks just need to learn how to play the spec.

See I like samurai becuase of the high DPS and high HP. Heck I don't really neeed to think about conserving armor and health when I can just strafe and hack slash and use cleave and bleed.

Another great tip: if you are laggy, be a tanking class.

Thank god I'm not laggy since I love samurai.
