WAR vs. PLDFollow

PLD will nearly always win unless there is a big lvl difference...

Well, it is kind of hard to beat a fully refreshed pally ;), but warriors are incredibly powerful if the user understands how to use them, they still need some lovin though.

A warrior would have a chance if the warrior was using a shield just for shield bash. A two handed weapon is possible but will be harder just because of the freedom the paladin has when it comes to curing. Thats my take of it as a lv 26 warrior.

I must agree that those who know how to perform their job better then the opponent will usually win, no matter what the class is. Now players of equal skill...well thats a toss up :D I guess in that situation, class weakness/strengths will really factor in.

Umm...your paladin is showing ;P

Anyways, your understanding of the game is really flawed, Eric. Warriors have the ability to lower the effectiveness of melees on the field. As for shield bash, not only does it interrupts the casting but it stops all casting from the player for 6 seconds. Not only that but he have abilities to shield us from attacks (Shield Block ~ Fast cooltime, low rage and negates one attack), we have retaliation (which has to be the best melee ability in the game. Also known as the "I win" ability. Long cooltime though) plus we have execute (125 damage plus 3 for every rage I have. A clean 550 damage if done perfectly. Only used as a closer, however)

We are not weak. We as warriors have many abilities that will help us survive. With that being said, I know if I fight a paladin, I will be facing a very, very tough class. Doesn't mean he'll be leaving without a dent :D

Next?

Just wanted to add that I do play on the PvP server so I get a lovely chance to fight all classes. Paladins are hard and I have lost against them...but not always. Hell, I used to make daily trips to Darkshore to test out my warrior.

The only I have left to say is that if you enter a fight with the mentality that you are going to lose, you will lose. I always enter a fight to win and more often then not, I usually win :D

As lvl 22 Alliance warrior, I have only ever lost a duel to a Paladin. He was 2 levels higher. And it was my first duel. As I get higher, I realize few warriors max their skills out. Sure a pally can heal himself. But if I lower his armor 900 points (sunder armor rank 2) and hit him with demoralizing shout, activate my counterattack (15 second auto counter) and make use of my sheild bash when he tries to heal. Well... you have one very screwed paladin.

Watched a duel outside of Iron Forge today... 32 Pally vs 33 War... was very very close... War won by a sliver. My sig doesn't show it, but I also have a 16 Priest as of now, so don't shoot flak at me for that. Just too lazy at 6 AM.
