warrior class?

[haxo]

i'm new to path of exile in general. i'm kind of interested in warrior because i like sword and board look/feel in general.

my question is, how is playing warrior in PoE2 exactly? is it kinda meh, is it satisfying to play? can you solo late game as warrior or is he nowhere near the meta for end game?

You literally can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Melee starts out the slowest pace though and keep in mind any class can wield any weapon.

Warrior has a great combo with infernal rcry+leap slam+boneshutter, but as already said, he's gear dependant not only for armor but also for the synergy used to trigger boneshutter. Super slow, put when you land a perfect strike buffed by Infernal cry.....easy mode.....but hard to setup.

swords will release in the future but its a strong class, i have seen warriors completely obliterate endgame maps or take a large hit that could kill most caster or ranged dps as if it where a snowflake on the shoulder being brushed off XD

there are no swords in the game, as for melee it's only maces.
it's a fun class and not at all hard to play, you'll have fun with it if you like melee oonga boonga gameplay

Warrior is rough in the beginning but turns around near 40.

Nop, i killed the boss of act 1 first try, just with the basic attack. Warrior rocks at the start.

I find the warrior incredibly clunky. that being said, I have had the easiest time with bosses and fewest deaths on my warrior. your results may vary

man what a wild range of answers hahaha, at first i was like "man, guess i'll pass" and now i'm like "maybe it won't be bad later?" rofl

appreciate the feedback everyone, ty

don't play warrior.

it is absolute garbage.. the only c-tier class in the game right now

range > all in poe2
if you absolutely want to play melee, do yourself a favour and play monk instead.

If you enjoy the classic barb, i would wait for swords and axes. At the moment it's very limited.

[CLdumbASS]

If you play mace, use mace+shield. You'll need the extra defenses that block brings really badly before long.

that really sucks to hear, yea i guess i'll just skip on warrior for now unfortunately. trying to decide what else to pick atm.

i was looking at more warrior videos also and i kept seeing that there was only one or two viable builds and it didn't even feel like you were playing as a warrior

Monk is a fun melee.

Slow start but once you get your first spirit gem and level 5 skill gems (towards the end of act 1) then it starts coming into it's own.

Cannot go wrong with ice strike+herald of ice or tempest flurry+herald of lighting for your first playthough. Both are great in their own ways.
