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

At this point you're just trolling. You don't have data. You don't have experience. You just have feelings. And you're wrong.

he is one of that GLD who doesn't want MRD get buffed because he doesn't want to lose his main tank spot on 8 man

Kitru.. How much damage does Sword Oath can do? Its 50 but not 50%.. And that's only applicable to auto attack (Correct me if im wrong). You are right on berserk though but how does maim skill this advantage "disappear" out from a warrior?

Combo Action: Heavy Swing
Combo Potency: 190
Combo Bonus: Increases damage dealt by 20%
Duration: 24s
Grants Wrath when used with Defiance. Duration: 30s

If this skill is combine with berserk, how much damage can a warrior give? And Fracture is 2.5s GCD and CoS is 25s GCD. As you mention that fracture skill is only a "tiny" increase DPS for a WAR and so does CoS too for PLD except Fracture skill have faster GCD than CoS. As i mention earlier on, i feel that WAR is 50% tank less than a PLD and 50% more dps than PLD

War does and able to do more damage than a PLD. It's depending on how you are going to play with it, combining what kind of based class skills & cross class skills before entering a dungeon.. Too bad you cant proved that..

really strong with marauder

Yoshi means that they can dish out some damage. That is all.

That's not true, re-read all my posts in the thread, and you'll get a clearer picture of what I'm advocating. What I'm advocating is that these classes were designed to tank in different ways. Giving WARs defensive mitigation goes against everything the class is, and would make the classes homogenous, and boring. I'm not against warriors receiving a buff in some way to help get their healing back in line. I have also said I volunteer as OT whenever the other tank is better geared than me (even if they are a war), my ego is not so big that I would refuse being an OT just because I'm the PLD.

That being said, warriors have been screaming "where do the devs say warriors should be this way?" "They'll never say it, they intend for them to do the exact same thing nomatter what!"


Well, they answered, and just because you don't like the answer, we cannot simply say "Yoshi is wrong".

I'm not saying he is infallible, but he has been doing wonders for this game, and maybe, just maybe, he knows what he's talking about.

So maybe, juuuuust maybe, we should listen.

8man dungeons will always require 2 tanks and best option always to have a PLD and a WAR with it.. I cant say that WAR have to be main tank but in any occasions where pld is down, a war will have to take over the tank job till PLD is revive and back in action. This is how i think..

Not to mention, 8man dungeons other than primal fights tend to have alot of adds appearing when engaging boss fight.. This is where WAR will shine alot!

Actually, many of us did not roll a WAR to just be an amazing OT or be a stand in till the PLD is back on his feet. If the character description told me that I would be an amazing OT and that was my role when playing a WAR, then I'll be content, unfortunately that is not the case here.

Errr..

Then you failed to see how a WAR really works.. A WAR is to be sub tank and can dish out a good amount of damage than PLD. So while PLD is tanking, you can be just a DPS and when PLD is down, you have to be a sub tank.. This is how it works.. I will recommend you to switch class/job..

Im not asking you just to stand in till PLD is back on the feet, rather WAR is a dynamic class and has to be on the ball to dish out dmg while not taking over hate from pld and tanking, maintaining hate if pld is down..

y: for those that really want to show off, i recommend warrior

I'm starting to think we need a Yoshi P's facts website!

I know that some people are less than satisfied with Yoshi’s response, but how can we( the players) question what the creators( group of people that created the classes/jobs with a direct vision of how it should be played) are saying? I am more interested in what the developers know about warriors that we do not. Maybe we could get a response on how to correctly play the class and see where it goes from there?
