I am new to the game but looking at the Marauder abilities and even the Warrior abilities and i can't help but think what direction is this taking?

In any game i've ever played a two hander axe/hammer class has always been a serious hard hitting look out here i come class. Now i am not 50 yet but ti seems like most people play a tank role or off tank role instead of a DD with the Warrior??

So my question developers was this intended? why is a 2 hander axe wielder not your highest dd in the game or at least really competitive in damage?

I've been told several places now that if i want to be a DD to play pugilist or Dragoon? Than I look at the Marauder/Warrior and well look at this character why would he not be just as powerful

Any answers for future developments for the warrior moving towards damage would be awesome Thanks.
