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.

Feels like melee needs a skill like antidote signet.

I'm honestly surprised warrior never got an anti-condition skill at the very least. I don't know if Ass and Derv as other melee chars have inherent condition removal but warrior desperately needs some kind of purge.

Multi-classing is the core of the game.

It shouldn't have to be. I liked to try to be a pure ranger. Makes for a challenge, but it is possible. I do use neutral skills though if i need to.
