[Dev1235] Job Adjustments

[Dale]

Because they're clearly gearing for defense in situations (read; anything at all, ever) where it is not needed. As the Whm, I'd be annoyed that someone was being un-optimal for the role they were brought to, when they will not die. It's intentionally gimping yourself for 0 gain, only loss.

If it helps, think of it as "I don't trust you to keep me alive, so I'm going to intentionally do worse at the roll I was brought for in order to 'insure' my safety." 'Insure' because a shield will do jack all.

But that is just your opinion. And like you know what, everyone has one.

As long as you are winning the fight and the warrior with the shield isn't playing stupid or getting people killed - I see no legitimate reason to be annoyed by it. Seems to me you let silly things bother you. I have seen some very good warriors who go sword and board.

Also: I should point out there is a lot more to playing your job than just always doing damage. Any player who limits himself to such a small task is the one who is really gimping the group if you ask me. So I would agree with Glamdring. Players should expand their thought process and breadth of capabilities when possible. To always assume its the healer's job to keep you alive no matter in any situation is a good way to end up on the floor dead blaming others.
