Why Play a Warrior in Guild Wars 2?
Warriors are arguably the most versatile class in Guild Wars 2. You can go with a tank build, a ranged (rifle) build, a melee build, or even a support build. Personally, I also prefer the look of Heavy Armor, although in Guild Wars 2 some of the Medium Armor looks pretty solid. These are all of the warrior builds I have used and enjoyed so far. As I want to play a ranged class, most of them will be Rifle Warrior Builds.
