Warriors - Rerolls

[Kaloran]

Does reroll even make sense for creating new characters?

The phrase is a "hand-me-down" from table top gaming, where you would ask a DM if you could "reroll" your base stats if they were particularly bad, or for that matter, anything you didn't like. It made it's way into RPGs, and MMORPGs specifically, because often character race played a part in stat effectiveness (FFXI as well).

In this context, it's meant to capture the mindset of changing roles. I'll always have my WAR job and my gear for him, but I'm pretty much done with it until SE addresses it's game-breaking flaws; Thus, a change in mindset. A "reroll".

I understood where it came from, but I guess I was just being pedantic. However, the highlighted part in your reply makes an awful lot of sense as a valid explanation. Thank you!

Real Warriors {hold the line} and take it in the face. I'm not rerolling to some pansy class that hides behind a shield.

^this a million times

Do you even WAR? Staying war and will always tank as war, even though I have pld to 50. Pld is easy mode tanking, I don't have time for that.

[Kiaris]

Wait...

WAR is hard to tank with ?

I don't get why people say its hard... its just as easy as PLD...

Lets just say, a healer have a harder time to heal WAR then PLD

Which is correct..

And comes down to.. people saying they play WAR for the challenge ? Is more like saying.. I play a WAR to make my healers work harder / have a challenge.

Warriors aggressive and paladins are defensive, they are both tanks, and they are both good.

It's cute that after reading skipping this entire thread, you still think that's accurate.

Bullshit sorry,... yes, Warriors are agressiv, Paladin defensive, both are tanks, yes. but Paladin is way better then Warrior.

I would guess they probably tested it with Crystal Tower gear and not the current i70.

As an aside, irrc there was a dev quote about them expecting fewer than 100 groups to beat all turns of the coil before Crystal Tower. With content tuned to that extreme, it's a lot more likely to see strongly favored party compositions, the implication being that if a player always want to be positioned to beat content like that when first released, it may be necessary to level all of the jobs for a given party role.
