One aspect about playing a warrior is that one must recognize the inherent disadvantage that the class has in terms of one vs one play. It is a very bitter truth to swallow, but a truth nonetheless. So for all of the warriors out there who dream of laying the smack down when PvPing or in Arena, your best bet of realizing that aspiration is to have a backup healer shadow you. When it comes to dueling, be prepared to lose. More often than not, it is for the simple reason that we are not made to win in a one vs one fight. Perhaps at some point in the future design of the class that may be the case, but I don’t see that changing anytime soon, even with the expansion just around the corner.
Normally, regardless of whether I win or lose a duel, I always try to be a good sport about it and do a bow or a cheer emote. I strongly believe in maintaining good manners and graciousness both in and out of the game. If I am lucky enough to win in a duel, I chalk it up to a mixture of skill and luck. Rarely do I ever gloat. However, the other day there was a player who was thinking himself all “badass” and wanted to challenge me, so of course I took the bait and accepted. He went down twice in two attempts to best me! Of course I told him that I was going to post it on my blog for all the world to see since he was being such a meathead! So there ya go…if your going to try to be a “bad ass”, make sure you can back it up instead of being nothing more than all hot air!
