Yoshi P talks about Warriors- from Producer Letter Live @ TGS

[hola]

I'm not talking about story mode, and this isn't my first character. If you have less then or near a max of 7.3k total health at level 50 on hardmode titan and your healers don't have time to max you before he fires it (HE GIVES YOU SO MUCH WARNING!!) you are very bad at the game and have terrible gear. Also, you can immediately convalescence and fire every one of your self heals from monk and WAR the second it lands. Your "issue" isn't an issue.

lol
i have 7250hp with relic and af2 head

are you telling all the other warriors not to do titan HM until they get more than 2pieces of af2??

apprarently your just talking out of your @ss

So far the only content I have heard of that a WAR just can NOT tank is Coil turn 5. Is that 1 reason enough for you to not play WAR? if so then you obviously don't play WAR because you like the job... Also DRG was always good(the wyrvrn did kinda suck though), the buff they got never changed any of that, just the stigma around the job diminished. FFXI was an elitist game really. I see no reason why this will be any different. However, playing with friends to enjoy the game would mean you get to try new things and find ways of making it work.

Tell me something, WHY should a Group Use a Warrior, when with a Paladin its alot easier?
Even Hardcore Progress Guild say that, that all Content is alot easier with PLD as MT.


Its funny, almost every Gladiator say "Warrior are good".... Play a Warrior and then we Talk again....

When everyone knows the fight and there are no panic moments and the only thing to do is heal the tank through predictable damage and the raid through predictable stomps, Warriors are fine.

Unfortunately, when you're progressing on something, not everything goes perfect. Paladins can get a kill with a ton things going wrong due to their piles of cooldowns and less damage taken. Warriors don't have it that easy.

sure they can, but again... and i think i wrote this my 10th time now....
Warrior can Tank til Titan and beyond.... but with a Paladin ist alot easier..... and thats the main Point.

Ahh people. Let this discussion end. WAR and PLD should probably be played together. Yes, PLD can take more of a beating. I am down with that as a WAR. People who rolled WAR knew what they were in for. I mean, ffs, I rolled the tank that doesn't use a shield. I made my bed, I will sleep in the mofo. Do I care that PUGs may not want me? Nope, I got a FC that keeps me very busy. They have no intention of dropping me off at the gates of the Coil. If the PLD tanks, so be it. If I tank, so be it. I don't think either of us care. I hope every WAR roles to another class. I would be perfectly happy as the only "angry trashcan with an ax" on the server.

That said. Wait till there are bosses that have a healing mechanic... then watch all these two PLD groups scramble like mad to gear up a WAR.

As I have said the only content that a WAR has not successfully tanked that I know of is the absolute last raid/dungeon available right now, coil turn 5.
As for why? maybe there are no PLD available, or you like a challenge. OR your not an elitist prick. My view is this, They both can do it. If you choose the PLD over the WAR that isn't a game choice, it is your choice. You are choosing to use the PLD over the WAR. And why is that? Because you want the content to be easier. That is ok too.

Also I have every intention of leveling WAR after I finish my Relic. I want to be prepared for future content with having all tank jobs leveled. I actually am greatly looking forward to playing WAR after doing so much content with PLD, and seeing good WAR tanking.

It could also mean that they simply feel the player base is in content they do not feel they should be in at this phase of the game. That is what mostly makes sense to me. I could see Yoshi sitting in an office thinking, "Well, they shouldn't be in Turn 5 with ANY tank. It would be ridiculous to buff warriors yet... We told them 3 months to complete Coil."
.

I would agree with this sentiment 100%. This isn't WoW, you arnt expected to farm up the entire raid in less then a week's worth of time and sit there and complain. There are tiers of content, we were missing a rung on the ladder and everyone just kept climbing up w/o realizing we need it.
