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

[Bethaiah]

I have to add in 2cp from a Healer's PoV, its a much easier doing stuff with a Paladin than a Warrior. It just is. This is not to say it can't be done, it's just a lot easier, safer and more leeway for ****ups.

There are some awesome players out there who max out the Warrior's toolbox, but there just isn't enough to compare to Paladins.

Its like Warriors become fantastic once they have got what they need from the content they are doing, but actually doing it? I would take a Paladin everytime unless they were a complete douche.

The self Heals on warriors need to be tuned up significantly, so they have a true self stream of healing while in combat. As for doing more damage or aggroing better, I don't see it.

This is all from running instance from Satasha all the way to Garuda HM which I'm attempting to DF farm for my Garuda Primal weapon.

Just another Note:

Endgame WAR cannot be viable without Crafted Gear based on my findings.

Keep letting us know about your Optimal Garuda Kill Experiment.

I want to ask Yoshi what WAR is supposed to do for Titan HM then. Go as DPS just for that fight, since it's literally 10 million times easier to tank Titan HM as a PLD?

I tried to tank Titan HM as WAR today. I really did. I went in with Garuda's Scream, the AF+1 chest, and everything else DL except helmet. Mountain Buster was dropping 4.5k damage on me straight up and I have about 6.9k HP. How a healer is supposed to heal me through that with Cure II that does 1.3k healing on me is a mystery which no one has been able to solve..

I think that means you're not as good as you think you are with Warrior.
EDIT: 4.5k is nothing, in TWP I tell dps to go all out on adds when I tank the King, so far with full Rancor buffs he hits for around 4.8k as much as I've seen, always been able to recover with buffed inner beast and a good healer, in fact, that's the only way I've been able to beat the fight. With dps killing adds asap I mean, rather than holding back. And I didn't even stack vit.

Well Wanderer's Palace is just like Titan so you basically just owned him. Nice one.

Well, when you have people complaining about taking 4.5k damage from Titan, how can you expect me to not compare taking 4.8k damage from a lesser boss (in a single hit)? I mean, its like no one here knows how to play warrior at all, and its sad.

Yeah for example someone still doing WP.

Not everyone poopsocks to endgame and leaves their buddies in the dust, then complains when they don't know how to play their job, tyvm.
I mean, come on. Even the devs say that it takes higher skill to play war. You just don't have that skill, obviously.

Not everyone feels the need to comment on things they have absolutely 0 experience or knowledge of either, but here you are.

Says the person that doesn't know how to play their own class :eyeroll:
The devs themselves has said it takes a higher level of skill to play war. I don't see what you're keeping on about.
