When can we expect a WAR nerf?

Because not only can Warriors tank well, but they're also taking home NBA championships. Way too OP if you ask me.

I didn't even know it was a football team so you're more "in the know" than I am.

6 fell cleaves in a row. Who cares if bloodbath is going away, gonna have rampart. I'm gonna enjoy WAR just as much in SB as I do now, at the very very least. Will continue to main PLD for now since it's my first 60 class and WAR is only 53 atm though.

you actually cant do the same thing with inner beast, as the switch back to defiance would be cut in half which would make 6 inner beast impossible , the ability to decrease ur gauge cost is stuck behind deliverance

It was just nerfed. No more stance dancing is the biggest nerf along with the loss of self heals but that isn't much when compared to switching stances halving your gauge. Also the damage reduction effect of storms path is gone and that was almost nesicary in early prob. They also added a new class with slashing. All in all warriors got hit pretty hard

You don't understand. However, it's not surprising since you haven't even unlocked fell cleave yet, let alone reached 60 to know the nuances of WAR. The whole point of fell cleave is that when we pop that berserk and land those two or three fell cleaves, we get immense satisfaction because they're relatively huge numbers. The fact berserk is now a 30% buff as opposed to 50% means that satisfaction is much lessened, even if math shows your dps potential stays the same. Also, you have to take into account we got a cheap version of Fight or Flight at that point, so why be happy?

WAR's ease of playing and hallmark of great design is the fluidity of stance dancing. Doing an opener in defiance and switching when you reached 5 stacks to deliverance meant a super streamlined change from tank to dps stance. If for whatever reason you needed inner beast, you had the option to build stacks in deliverance and switch only when you had to. Dungeons were doable thanks to this, but now that flash and stance dancing will be gone, it's going to be very awkward.

This isn't even mentioning the loss of bloodbath, a useless gap closer, and a spirits within knockoff that's supposed to replace fracture.

I loved the stance dance nerf. t was ridiculous how Warriors can freely change stance with no punishmente at all. Don't talk about losing HP because that really doesn't matter if you know the fight.

If HP doesnt matter, then losing 1 GCD also doesnt matter if you know the fight

there are fight that have gone down to the wire i would not have been able to win without bloodbath. It is a great cd that i'm going to miss.

regardless, i'll probably get all 3 tanks to 70.

It was. Warriors since 3.0 are in a godlike status. They can tank with no problems all content and still are the best off tank in the game. I really would like to see PLD/DRK comps but nope, because warriors.

Have fun losing half of your bar while stance dancing.

The funny thing is...It's highly probable that WAR still will be the best job in the game, so don't worry.

A berserked warrior in deliverance using dual decimate with veng and bloodbath up, plus overpower spam was a trash pull god.

Now, since our self heals are now tied to being in defiance, that wont be possible.

At least not as smoothly.

Idc about potency reduction as much.

But the seamless tank stance swap was why i found war to be so fun. Now its penalized just like the other tanks.

Will reserve judment till i get it 70, but from an outside view this is kinda sad.

warrior was good in 3.x but not OP, if they were then the tank meta will be WAR/WAR duo, but no the other tank still get the chance to shine(albeit not as offtank) and the thing is considering PLD got all the good stuff while the other 2 tanks got shit on for 4.0 i'm not even surprised if we're gonna be back like that early 2.0 era where PLD/PLD duo will be a thing again

I think the joke about Golden State Warriors winning the NBA championship went over way to many heads. You people really need to broaden your horizons and get out more!
