Guild Wars 2: Warrior Class Revealed

Joining the Elementalist on the roster of Guild Wars 2 classes is the Warrior, and we've got all the juicy details!
The Warrior class, at least on a basic level, should be familiar to most veterans of the genre. Encased in heavy armor and tough as nails, the warrior also builds up Adrenaline which drives his power in combat.
Adrenaline increases the damage a warrior deals with each successive attack in battle, which can build up to three stages. Adrenaline also builds up the the Warrior’s “Burst Skill,” which is an extremely powerful attack that will vary based on the weapon he is wielding. The Burst Skill can be used at any time the Warrior desires, however, the more Adrenaline stages a Warrior has built up the more powerful the final result, which isn’t always necessarily more damage, some Burst Skills will add additional or different effects based on the amount of Adrenaline built up.
Read our overview of the Warrior here.
Also, be sure to check out our Guild Wars 2 gallery for additional screenshots of the Warrior class.

woot for gw2 news!
Sh_t, that's some cool videos
Very, very nice. A definite improvement over the oafish Guild Wars Warrior model. I'm loving the Player Character banter which leads me to believe that Guild Wars 2 will be much more lively than its predecessor. I hate silent games.
Now, about the Necromancer....

The ease with which predictions are made on these forums:
Fratman: "I'm saying Spring 2012 at the earliest [for TOR release]. Anyone still clinging to 2011 is deluding themself at this point."
This is so epic!!! never been so excited about any game!!!
GW2 a beacon of light in the darkest days of mmorpg's

Yummy... I can't wait to see my Asura Warrior stomp!
O_o
Now if only there was a banner that played epic metal whenever I decided to enter the fray. Jes, jes...
I kill other players because they're smarter than AI, sometimes.
The more I see of this game, the more people I am willing to kill to play it right now.
Thats taking PvP to another level!! Innovation, key to success
Uhh... what?
You'd probably do better with cookies.
YEAH THATS MY BOY
althou i would like to see more two handed action to complety jizz my pants off.
even the voice acting is cool *.*
its just ... so... well done Oo
now: GW2 (11 80s).
Dark Souls 2.
future: Mount&Blade 2 BannerLord.
"Bro, do your even fractal?"
Recommends: Guild Wars 2, Dark Souls, Mount&Blade: Warband, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
Nah, I've never been able to kill someone with cookies.
You haven't tried hard enough!
This game is looking better and better with each bit of information.
Edit: I'm actually more excited by this than TOR and I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan as of late.
Absolutely blown away by this.
I got so excited from this that I got a headache.
This is incredible... Definitly a game worth waiting for! In the next Year or Two so many quality games are being released that all have potential to be the "WoW Killer" but out of all of them this has the best chance by FAR!
yeah warrior skill For Great Justice! makes a comeback
hurray for popculture references ^_^
Have fun storming the castle! - Miracle Max
Nice skills shown there, I liked how she hid behind her shield to avoid the fire; I wonder how that skill in particular will work.
