WAR Issues left unaddressed.

I would say slashing resist lowered and dmg dealt lowered are pretty big utilities that warriors now bring to the table.

What I would like to see is a combo action available by using overpower in conjunction with steel cyclone. Maybe an extra stun ability that is slightly stronger/longer than the others. Would make up for our loss of shield on multiple mobs. Add a damage reduction that would work if we were off or main tank.

The current stun is incredibly cumbersome to use, the wind up is so long that most abilities have gone off by the time you can use it.

I've never experienced that with Warrior stun. For me it's typically a 1/4 charge bar in length for the Stun Effect.

I like all the changes as it's very balanced with Paladin, I just wish they kept with the Warrior design of HP Absorb = Mitigation.

If it was possible to track, I think they should have tied Wrath to damage taken. 1/12th of Max HP Damage taken = 1 Stack

Vengeance - 1/24th of Max HP Damage Taken = 1 Stack (+ the Normal function)

Inner Beast - Keep 300% Damage into HP - Add Increased Enmity

Steel Cyclone - Add Absorb 50% of Damage Dealt + Increased Enmity

Foresight - CD should be 90s - Lvl 14 Enhanced Foresight should add - Increases Parry by 60%

Because Paladin has both Block and Parry - Warrior should learn a Trait that 50% of Parried Damage is recovered as HP.
Example: 2000 Damage hit - 25% Parried - 12.5% Healed - Total Mitigation 37.5%

I think that design would tie in really well with the New Holmgang as well, since when it wears off you will be at 1HP without any heals. You should be at full Wrath Stacks from Damage taken to get to that point, so before it wears off:

Berserk, Internal Release, Second Wind - IB + Infuriate + IB

I *really* hope it's something that they fix eventually.

No one in my BC linkshell will believe you if you tell them that. I can break the shield with my damage and cause it to stun before the DPS gets to it, then they blow it up. If a soldier / knight is still up when a juggnernaut pops I can kill it while the DPS switches. My PLD outgears my warrior yet for our group my warrior is superior on turn 4. My group prefers my warrior on Turn 4. I also always have full wrath stacks when I need them -- wrath management is easy.

I'd have to see this to believe it. This is something I can't even really fathom.

It's irritating that PLDs have one combo for max threat and debuff. We essentially have 3. I'm sorry but that's a lot of bloat.

I did it without +1 bravura and avg of ilev 70 gear. I think I still have Fraps around here to record it. I'm can at least stream it next week.

It's fairly easy. You can just spam overpower and do it, or you can do it even faster if you're cycling BB combos (which you should be)
