Let's hope so? Probably not the right answer to most but SE seems incapable of buffing other jobs to WAR's level.

Why should we happy over a nerf again, when they could, idk, buff other DD jobs so they're more viable?

Money it's because War was seen as 'overpowering' Sam (it isn't outside Abyssea).

That is what most want, SE just can't seem to do it.

I don't doubt it about SAM, SE sure is obsessed with that job. Honestly they didn't need the last 2 or 3 buffs they got.

• Cap on the weapon skill damage increase effect from Restraint will be lowered

Since this is an adjustment that will reduce damage output, we will proceed carefully and take our time to do this, more so than other job adjustments.

If there was a dislike button it would easily attain 50 or more hits. Why you ask? I'll tell you.

• Vision
  Damage dealers who use their brawn to continuously pummel foes with a barrage of physical damage, but also use their brains to adapt to the situation at hand.
  
  We will certainly preserve the warrior's physical prowess, which makes it such an imposing damage dealer, but we also want to make it a more flexible attacker. We hope to accomplish through such means as adding abilities that modify weapon properties, making for more enemy-overpowering carnage.
• Example Adjustments
  • Adding new ability that would allow warriors to change a weapon's damage type (slashing/blunt/piercing) during combat.
  • Adding a new ability that would ensure the next melee attack lands a critical hit.

I mean come on, guys. Make up your minds. One month you're wanting to keep warrior where it's at, the next you're wanting to nerf it. I dare not finish saying what I was wanting to say in fear of giving you nerf ideas.

I don't expect to see much of a hit at all on this nerf, but the fact that it's being done on any scale period sabotages the attempts at PR. Please, no more PR news if you can't commit to your decisions. I much prefer not to read hype when it isn't going to be maintained. What I don't know, won't hurt me. Learn it well. That logic will serve you far greater than hype ever will.

not but 3 months ago didnt the devs say monk and war would be left alone and other jobs would be getting a buff to catch up?

Deal out nerfs then everyone can suck together.

It was silly for them to announce this in a vacuum, but keep in mind that they're planning weaponskill adjustments. Warriors get lots of weaponskills.

And a total of 2 worth using for dealing damage/tanking. 3/4 every 2 hours.

QQ more. Tell me what universe WAR isn't absolutely #1 on the power ladder in. A minor nerf to one trait isn't the end of the world.

It's not a big deal, and you shouldn't be complaining that he's giving you a heads up. Ever heard the expression, "Don't kill the messenger?"
