Rest in peace War dps

Warrior's pretty much sailed as a viable tank job. The now barely existing self heals were the main draw of playing the job, at least for me, and dork's become even more of a glass cannon, but at least pld is still a somewhat viable tank. So long Inner Beast, your self healing was adored while it lasted.

Seems like my i208 warrior with the 210 relic went from 1300-1330 dps in full str (3.15) to 1060ish dps now with four crafted accessories and one 210 ring.

I can't be the only Warrior on the forum who played for a few hours this morning and still feels like we're in a good place.

WAR is still crazy strong, and still the most desired tank. If anything it only suffered a pinch more because it is so self-heal reliant, but the rest of the job is so well-designed outside of that that it barely matters

We all felt the hit. If anything, feel bad for PLD, whose buffs, while easily distinguished in relation to the other tanks, are barely noticed by themselves after the DPS cut.

I for one am going to miss my rapid fire 2.5K-3K-1K-2K <DA>Syphon Strike<C&S+DP>Delirium bursts.

Maybe as an off tank. Even with the same cool down cycling I've been doing since 2.1 I felt infinitely more fragile without having any reliable heals coming in. Inner Beast is a joke of a heal now and Equilibrium feels too weak to make a difference of more than half a gcd.

I think the thread title should have been "RIP WAR heals" instead lol. I'm surprised they didn't edit the percentage of self-heal for Warrior in anticipation of having more HP+getting presumably hit harder in future content.

Made me sad my Equilib healed for 4.8k instead of 6.7k.

More HP but diminished healing across Tank classes is gonna suck. Soul Eater healed me for 1200 at i185. Kinda scared to see how pitiful it is now.

Almost like you are supposed to tank, worry about hate, and such rather than try to top dps charts. Weird. I'm pretty mad my blm heals aren't keeping raids alive BTW so I'm on your side

that would be such a great example to wave at people if most dps could even play their class at anywhere near three quarters of maximum efficiency

dps always whine about this and that but man i couldn't imagine a FFXIV where in every level of content in the game doing your job acceptably was as pertinent as the healer or tanks doing theirs.

i bet there are still dps who do less damage than the tanks in dungeons and have comparable item level which is completely unacceptable
