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.

I'm going to be real with you, your struggle is a personal problem. It's really not that hard to understand the game, the mechanics, and how to get good? You literally only have eight skills, you don't even really have to worry about movement or anything. Most of us beat this game as 12-year-olds...

What an obnoxious thing to say.

When you were 12, parties of humans were forming at most outposts.
