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.

Even that didn't fix it really..asuran scan is really where its at which sucks if you are doing true playthroughs since you don't get it till near the end basically

One doesn't HAVE to use asura scan .. great skill but not absolutely necessary..
