In regards to power level of warriors during Heavensward I have dug up some footage for your viewing pleasure.

Current WAR power level for reference also included. Note how middle row this person plays as apposed to front line charging in head first.

I agree it was intended to be played that way ... it just isn't. I am hopeful that the new 2 team battles they have promised will be better and at least lessen the fight in the middle mentality that plagues pvp at the moment.

@Synestra You should try sniping people who try to "gank" your dps ,and backline with homegang ,and tomahawk. It's relatively enjoyable even tho they don't let us tank/distract properly anymore.
