Naoki Yoshida, Balance the game please [War DPS TOO HIGH!]

Typical "OMG my class is weaker than that class! NERF ITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!"
While it's true that fell cleave is strong. Did you know a warrior now with 2.0 opener can pull off 1k dps without the need of fell cleave? My FC warriors including me can pull of large number of DPS even while tanking with defiance on, sometimes pulling larger dps than MCH and Bards.
"No excuse to make warriors better than DRK ?" That's called balancing? Also Warrior is a 1.0 job while DRK is a 3.0 job. Since 2.0 Warriors are pulling big dps as a tank and a offtank (watch Xenosys) . You dare to say there're no excuse to make warriors dps better than drk. That's a joke. Also, instead of nerfing a job, play yours better. i've seen drk pulling large dps as a MT too

Not true at all. In any pre-Savage Alex content that we have now a good WAR can pull as much, if not more than most of the DPS in the group. This goes for both single target and AoE settings.

Wrong, 6k with 900ish str(less) CRIT (RNG) under Berserk (15 seconds) You over stating the issue of a warriors amazing 15 second burst of damage?

WAR DPS WAS HIGHER BEFORE DARK KNIGHT EXISTED YA WHINING BRAT. WAR JUST HAS A Friggen high potency BURST, fell cleave does not hit for 9000 damage 3 times ONLY after Maim,Eye, Berserk, internal release and alot of strength (Melded accessories.) WAR DID 450 DPS at the end of ARR where was your complaint there? Learn to do YOUR job. WAR's do *NOOOT* have 'good' cooldowns that is why WAR cannot tank Bahamut Prime. Vengeance 30% GCD Inner Beast 20% (5 stacks) Thrill Of Battle (HP BOOST) NEW: Equilibrium Self Heal, no dmg reduction, Raw Intuition Frontal parry 20% 20 sec. back/side CRIT HITS. BEST DEFENSIVE MOVE: HOLMGANG

AGAIN LEARN *YOUR* JOB

What kind of crappy DPS do you know?

In v1.2~1.23 Warrior was used as a DPS; and as a spare Tank. Paladin had healing and party buffs - just like they do now.


Full circle.

Yeah, he's hitting 9k+ because of Ravana extreme, and that is the only reason. Everyone is hitting high numbers during his damage stances. I hit 11k just the other day. If I'm beating the DPS, they are doing something wrong. No good DPS is going to lose to me.

To be fair, there is, already, parses of Warriors doing 900+ (982 and over 1k the ones i saw to be more precise) in fights like Alexander 1 and 2.
If you Google it, you will find (cannot past these kind of things here on forum). Not on dummy.
Also i find it "funny" when you can bring 6 tanks (WAR or DRK) on fights like Bismarck Ex/Ravana EX and beat it. Its a content relatively new, and yet you can replace the dps classes entirely with tank ones, ignoring the Tank/Healer/DPS formation.

Usually a WAR can outdps MCH & BRD on Ravana EX. I'm fine with that ranking especially with his double 11k hit.
If he outdeeps DPS on other fights... there is something wrong. I don't recall WARs being above me in any Alex fights, or perhaps trash mobs but I don't take them seriously so blame is on me here.

You do realize that 900 dps is about 20% less than the 1200 DPS classes can pull. Warriors deal a substantially less than a DPS class.
