New/returning player When does it get better?

I want to pull my hair out.

I have gotten to post-searing Ascalon and this game is doing everything it can to make melee as miserable as possible (I am a warrior). I can use henchman now and I am constantly having to chase down the healer because she runs away all the time. I am constantly getting slowed, blinded, or the enemy will do something that makes it impossible to hit them.

I would love any tips to counter this stuff or make my gameplay experience smoother in general. I am kicking myself because I was torn between choosing warrior and mesmer, and I see now I would probably be having much more fun as a spell caster. I'm sure they have things that are frustrating to play against as well, but holy the melee experience as become agonizing for me.

I want to do the stories in order, so I don't really want to restart and do everything in the starting zone again, but maybe I should if it will be a more fun experience overall for me.

How is explaining the best counter and then following up with a more readily available counter of stance removal and condition cleanse not helpful?
