Warrior is the worst ARGP experience ever

How is this even in the game? Warrior has zero redeeming qualities whilst leveling, it might as well not exist.

There's literally no way to recover HP once your potion is empty, because in your infinite wisdom, you've made it impossible.

Warrior, from all of the classes I've played, which is pretty much all of them now, is singularly the worst ARPG experience EVER.

Worse than Marauder in POE1. I've played D2 LOD, Last Epoch, POE1, POE2, Grim Dawn, Torchlight 1 and 2, multiple D2 LOD mods and not a single experience playing the Barbarian archetype (lets be honest here, okay?) has been worse than POE2's Warrior.

What do you mean I'm supposed to use Default Attack? What went through your heads with Rolling Slam? Armour Break? Really? How useless... Shockwave Totem - absolute waste of a gem. Infernal Cry makes my attacks hit like a slightly dryer than wet noodle. I'm not even going to comment on Earthquake.

All the garbo defenders will come out and say "JUST PLAY CROSSBOW" yeah, okay bro.

Did anyone playtest this? I haven't had to over level zones on CASTERS, CASTERS! Casters were a smoother leveling experience than this.

You are so out of touch its just baffling...

The warrior in Diablo 2 was in even worse shape.

I've levelled many a Barbarian in D2 LOD and while its pretty bad until Whirlwind, its not as bad as this, cmon.

At least I can kill bosses and rares with the Barbarian with something other than headbutts, unlike the Warrior here.

I have to disagree. I think the warrior is in a good place atm. I've focused on seeing exactly how tanky I can become and frankly, it's insane. You can easily have 80% of your armour apply to all elemental damage, you can even get it over 100% of your armour, plus you could even make 100% of armour apply to chaos damage. My fantasy in playing a warrior in an ARPG is being able to stand firm while thunderous smashing the monsters around me and I honestly feel GGG nailed that well.

Not perfectly, though, sure. The game is in early access and even when it is released, each league will throw things into chaos - as it should. Adapting to a changing skill landscape is what differentiates POE from, say, mindless, choiceless games like ... you know what I'm going to say, so I won't.

Dodge rolling into leap slam + Boneshatter brought me through my first Trial of the Sekhemas with nearly zero honour loss.

Not sure what you are experiencing, man, but perhaps some research would help.

Don't get me wrong, I can tell Warrior slaps, I've looked at a few players showcasing builds on YouTube, its good.

The leveling portion of it? Atrocious. You take far too much damage, have zero recovery and attack like Slowpoke, as in 3 to 5 working days to land a hit. I levelled it to 26 and only once I got the Fissures skill does the gameplay actually feel like something.

This seriously needs to get looked at - the first 22 levels of Warrior is godawful.

My friend, the worst thing in this game isn’t just the Warrior, it’s the game itself. Trust me this is by far the worst ARPG ever made. I completely understand your frustration with the Warrior but the real focus should be on how absolutely terrible the game itself is.

Truly, without a shadow of a doubt, this is the worst ARPG on Earth.

Warriors fine

And so is the first 22 levels


My 1h titan did amazing this league really happy how it turned out
