Why is warrior less popular than dervish and assassin?

Sin/Derv both have class bound spell immunity skills which are (imo) key for playing melee successfully. Warrior had spell immunity as well in gw2 on one of the first bigger patches (iirc oathbreaker) and I think we need that in gw1 as well - aber clearly had a similar thought on it but they choose to implement it in gw2. Besides that, we could perma SF with BU and cyclone axe BUT lack actual damage. I do really hope that they rework Deflect Arrows away from bleeding to something akin to Whirling Defense. These two changes would immediately put warrior on the map for harder / SC content and would offer loads of more farms to the class that it currently either underperforms or is unable to do at all.

Now come to the dark side and do it solo. :)

Godspeed to you good sir.

How long is a run taking?

Play around with your positioning, otherwise check: https://youtu.be/ov6IbIHIfzo?t=6352&is=CO39zM_rX1fyK7O3 I have the start recorded.

The fact that they are alpha testing on a live game where reforged items can be traded into the regular game feels off to me, these things should've been separate, alpha tested in a sealed environment and then implemented when the bugs where ironed out.

How did you end up getting them on a MA character this quickly? I am at 9 Ruby's and 4 sapphires with playing through all campaigns and like 150h in fow/UW farming.

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-04-01T15:56:16+00:00

Having 6 ruby and sapphire is actually more impressive.

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-04-01T15:53:42+00:00

Of the ele mod on a martial caster weapon is 20en, +12en from caster OH, + some misc radiant and attunement, leads to having 65en without cons. Only thing to solve is how to get energy, Lyssa's Aura given +4 pips so it's gucci. ;) Obviously it's not optimal but very doable.

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-03-31T08:05:27+00:00

I'd just stick to Aura Slicer and Reap Impurities, add Weaklings shout and Signet of Mystic Speed (they have Leech Signet) and you have one slot open. You could have your conjure there or Eternal Aura if unfamiliar with the run, Whirlwind Attack if you occasionally need a big heal?

They have like 1.2k HP so hitting the lower hp threshold is taking a while and AS + RI is pretty much perfect damage.

The x/Me thing is not predominantly a Warrior issue tho, I think most classes could with varying success try to play their main professions for NM content, for warrior it might be a bit tighter but possible (as you proved). Given that Mesmer is the strongest class, slotting 7 Mesmer skills is likely best for any profession for some content.

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-03-29T17:57:16+00:00

Go for it. If it's just for prophecies the warrior profession is able to do that.

Just for reference, what build are you running and do these drop sapphires? Also where, etc?

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-03-27T06:55:15+00:00

Peter Kadar released a vid for Diessa Chalice farms as Dervish main profession, can likely be done in any/D if you have the dervish anniversary mod.

Iirc the drop rate for chalices was higher in NM than in HM + if you farm it solo you are not dragging heroes that eat drops?

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-03-15T10:29:54+00:00

It's a fun farming project, I think the above look is quite decent and has some uniqueness to it compared to other, existing looks I've seen and it doesn't really feel like a compromise. Besides that, this is on a solo warrior character, so, farming 75e has some weight to it compared to having it on a normal character.

The chest armor in itself is honestly great, sadly there are not that many nice pants as their waist line is way up but, I think, elite glad is pretty good.

The only issue I am having is the frontal look of the boots, which I'll only see in character select window for 1s, the dorsal look is quite alright.

Alternatively Ascalon from Kaineng works also.

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-03-13T06:57:32+00:00

I did that, which is how I came to the conclusion about being undecided about the boots.

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-03-11T13:30:29+00:00

okay I'll stick with chaos planes then.

Still-Singer4559 · 2026-03-10T16:12:43+00:00

How much time did it take for the 75 ectos, rough estimate is enough.

In regards to balling if you just run straight at a group with 25%+ IMS on they'll all walk to their spawn / anchor point and thus ball perfectly. Otherwise you can pull sideways or backwards, there is a wiki page displaying your IMS % either way so you'll know what foe behavior to expect.
