Yeah, they can.

Warriors can also use a rifle, thiefs and mesmers can use pistols so you don´even have to be  engineer. But of course they can use flamethrowers and that is something only they can. :)

Ninjaed, also in case of someone comes saying "hurrr a plant tipe person using weapons and tenchnology doesnt make sense" i have to say that sylvaris are not forest spirits or sprites of any kind, they are normal tree-people, curious and inteligent who want to learn all they can about magic, technology, etc.

Probably, people get mad about a lot of things but you won't be ineffective.

Not as long as you do it well. A warrior can do range damage as well as a ranger.

The only problem I see are in dungeons, it looks like they often can get close up and personal so you should have a melee weapon or 2 as well and swap when needed. In that case I see no problems at all.

I just want the gun for pvp situations on the fort. I just wanna stand on the ramparts shooting down at the enemy during the world vs world XD

 

Other then that. sure ill keep a shield and sword at all times when things are going need to get close up and personal.

If the game works as I think it will, then in group play you need to switch your role during a fight more then once. So yes I'd be annoyed at you for simply draging the team down by doing only one thing. Also I do believe group effectiveness would go down a lot more then simply you sucking but still switching roles.

The days of having only one role are over in GW2. So adapt to be more versatile.

You're right. My point was that some people will get mad for using a Warrior as a ranged profession because they feel the Warrior should 'tank. Even though Anet said they want to make the Warrior a very capable ranged profession and that tanking will get you killed.

Seems like a well-specced rifle warrior is the profession for you. Warrior's rifle is pretty much a single-target long range damage. And you can rain fiery aoe death with a longbow as well.

In a de it wouldn´t be a problem to run around and fire a gun as long as you do it well. Maybe rez a few people and use some shouts or a banner while at it.

 In a dungeon you will need to switch on the fly (as I alredy said). but switching between gun and say, 2 swords would work fine. With 5 players you can´t afford to lock one to a single task.

But I think many people wont play those dungeons at all, just play the parts of the game you enjoy.

No, they won't be mad if you don't try to tank. In fact, they might get mad if you did try to tank, because you'll most likely get killed all the time.
Yes, you'd be slightly more resilient with a shield, but it's barely noticeable.
Besides that, in PvE (including DEs and guards in WvW), you can't 'hold agro' because the AI isn't programmed like that.

Reading that again: yes they will.

Not for the use of weapon but for the sit part. You must learn to move while you fight no matter what type of weapon you use. It might sound harder than standing still but you learn it while you play. :)

THIS is how it will actually be. Disregard what other people are saying about people getting mad.

The game is designed so that taking hits is always bad. At very early launch, some exceptionally bad players who haven't been following the game at all might want you to tank, but after a few levels most players will understand better how the game works. They'll know that you aren't supposed to tank, and they will only get mad at you if you don't get out of the way.

Guild Wars 2 is not a hard game to learn. Not everyone will fully grasp it in the very first 48 hours, but in regular play, you aren't going to have to constantly dodge bad players. Thinking that only a handful of us are going to be able to wrap our heads around "the glory that is Guild Wars 2 combat" is a very elitist attitude. People who understand the game will be in the vast majority.

Finally, for the OP, here's a video showing a Skilled Warrior in action. Everyone will have to play like this if a monster decides to go after them, and you can't always predict whom a monster will attack. Seriously, watch this video.

Everything I've seen so far makes me believe that if you don't level out every weapon set available to you then you are doing it wrong. Not taking advantage of the potential amount of combos you can get from weapon swapping in combat would also limit your effectiveness. No, people won't get mad at you for not "tanking", but they will probably get mad at you for playing your character at under half of it's effectiveness.

You should consider going into the game with the mindset of "I want to see what the warrior can do with all these options and figure out how to play the warrior as best I can" rather than already deciding on wanting to only use one weapon and playstyle before anyone has even truly played the game outside of events/demos.
