One of the coolest things about playing a warrior is the large selection of weapons they can use. I only played to about level 9 in BWE3 but I did try out most of the weapons.
Here are my favorites (so far):
Greatsword - Besides looking badass, this weapon gives awesome mobility (Rush, Bladetrail, Whirlwind) as well as the amazing Hundred Blades (a quick series of attacks that never gets old).
Rifle - Nice alternative for when you need to keep your distance. Kill shot is amazing when you have a full bar of adrenaline.
What are your favorite weapon sets?

I made an Asuran Warrior during BWE3 I used Hammer/Longbow it worked well for me that is what I plan to use for my warrior who is either gonna be a Charr or Norn thinking more towards Charr love the racial skill charrzooka

I love how the hammer feels - it has this wonderful thud when it whacks enemies that gives such a feeling of feedback. When dealing with the ranged weapons I'm a pretty big fan of the longbow. My tastes seem pretty similar to Phoenix's.

The greatsword is probably the best dps weapon in gw2. They will prob nerf it a bit, but then u have, what, 23 other weapons lol. Gunna run a norn warrior as my main WvW character, because I simply hate dying.

My favorites were Mace / Shield combo + Hammer or Longbow.
Mace / Shield is an interrupters dream. I believe there were 3 interrupts using that build? A daze, a knockback, and a stun = Awesome !!! The Longbow was great for AoE as a secondary weapon set and the Hammer was great for more knockdowns.

I have to go with great sword and rifle. I liked both very much in the beta. Also they almost drag the ground on my Asura.

I specifically made my Char Warrior first as I knew 10x more then all other 4 characters I make and will level and play it would be the most different from all other melee classes I played. I died.....I think 12 times in two hours. I noticed a few things. 1) while I do NOT want them to nerf content OMG there is 0 an I mean 0 warning for some attacks.... if it is there i am not seeing it at all. Second, you better damn well be moving 75% of the time, that stand there man vs man shit will get you WRECKED. Finally got the hand of moving to flank and tab target. My question is what or HOW do I switch weapons fast as go to H for bringing up Hero screen to switch that way is bad for my health . As I need to be able to change far far faster. As for you veteran players does going Power mean DPS/Control and Tactics = Tank/Control or are there far more subtle variations this noob to GW2 is not seeing?

When u hover over the choices ( power, tactics etc) it's gives a description for each class. I believe depending on the class it gives a specific answer. Double tapping to dodge is not for me. Freezes too much. I like the mouse wheel click. Please dont nerf the gameplay. Once we master a little crowd control ( traps, glue shots , freezes) it will get easier
