I'm looking forward to the Warrior changes. I believe they will be an excellent fix based on my current experience with ff14 (albeit rather limited in comparison to other forum members) and my experience as a tank in other mmos.
It's common knowledge that a tank's main priority is enmity/agro/hate/threat. Secondary to this, a tank's class specific skills then come into play ie defensive buffs (aka mitigation) leeching (aka health regeneration) etcetera. Tertiary to this, little "niches" or "group benefits" can come into play and often do ie additional dps/stunning-rooting-silencing-etc/debuff wiping/etcetera.
It sounds like to me, these changes will help fix the Warrior's biggest problem (critical damage taken) while still allowing for self heals to be relevant to their skill set.
That's my 2 sense anyway.
If you think a warrior with your gear can fight a 4 stack dreadnought without draining a white mages manapool then let me be the first to tell you that you are mistaken. A PLD clearly needs less healing by a ridiculous margin. I'm not playing my class like crap either since that seems to be your fall back here. There are things that the warrior simply can not do that the PLD can. The end game dungeons were balanced around the idea that any mobs with more than 3 stacks should be killing your tank. For warriors this is largely true. PLD are OP with all their cooldowns and they are actually able to survive well past those 3 stacks. Nothing you or any other player does will ever make that doable. Even on caduceus you should have noticed you require more healing on the split phase than the pld did. Each extra cure is mp wasted that otherwise would have been conserved if you were replaced by a pld. One thing I've noticed is that it gets easier as I get more gear, but you know what? The pld was able to do things easier than I was when he was just in darklight alone. They scale far far better against mobs even when using lesser gear.
He has warrior leveled as well actually including having the relic so...............
Also, I am just now leveling up my Warrior so I can't say as much as you have but seriously, "but" is a conjunction, "butt" is the word we use when referring to someones posterior. So I doubt any one is "but hurt".
I know correcting something like that is kinda childish but it bugged me the whole time.
I am a L50 Warrior and OP's changes are wrong
Why is this thread still going?
