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

Yes, it does. Medica II is massive enmity gain *even against a single target*. It generates the same enmity on all targets that you're in combat with.



Not true. Not in the least. Each heal has a different enmity modifier. Cure/Physick has an enmity modifier of .5: each point of healing generates .5 enmity. Cure II has an enmity modifier of .8. Regen has an enmity modifier of 1. Every point of healing that you get from Regen provides exactly as much enmity as it heals. This is one of the big reasons why Medica II is so friggin' nasty: a bulk of its healing is from Regen.

Please read the section on Emninity.

Or you know, flash, tomahawk, bb combo immediately after - your tank was bad and he should feel bad.

you're also completely ignoring the fact that the enmity is generated based on the final damage numbers of the actual attack. I don't care how much dps over time difference there is between War and Pld, that's not at all important. WAR gets SIGNIFICANTLY MORE HATE with BB because axes have TWICE THE BASE DAMAGE of swords, meaning more hate generated on the move that actually generates hate. You do realize that potency is a modifier of the base weapon damage... right?

I would read through this thread, but I'm a bit low on time. One question I have to ask is, as a WAR would the DL rings of Maiming be better off than Fending? Instead on focusing on crit, wouldn't a build of 20 STR/10 Vit, which str+skillspeed gear be more beneficial?

I want to try this out personally, since I feel that we have decent amounts of HP regardless, so being able to hit more often would stack out wrath stacks up so much more, no?

.....wut? Garuda's Scream Weapon Damage 41 > Garuda's Gaze Weapon Damage 41. Ummm, no.

It's obvious that that chart is not relevant for live, and it's been shown to be ridiculously inaccurate.

Also, axes have the exact same base damage as swords, they have more auto attack damage, but actions aren't based off of auto attack damage but base damage.

Weapon damage != auto-attack damage. Axes have nearly twice the auto-attack damage but the weapon damage is based entirely upon i-level and is the same for all weapon categories. Nice job not having a baseline understanding of the underlying mechanics of the game.

Uhm... are you playing the same game as us?

On the other hand, Berserk and Maim boost Flash potency.

What are you using to parse the data?

My counter
This is with my usual Crit Set up which includes a mix of blue and White and Green. (The crafted items) and one of my rings (Ring of Lasting Shelter) gives no STR at all.

I also only have 20 STR allocated, not 30.

So no, I do not stack STR. You have to be balanced.

(On my server, Tomestone Crafted items cost about 97k currently. But hey, if you want Better gear, you'll spend the gil for it, but good job on making due with what you have.)

Foresight's trait is to make it the same cooldown as Rampart, it already has the same duration, now you have the same CD as Rampart with less physical damage reduction and no magical damage reduction. Whats the point of that? Feels like the skill was created specifically for Paladin but they ran out of room for Paladin skills and threw it on War so PLD could pick it up.
