This how i feel tanking as a Warrior^^

Stacking strength is worthless. Do you know how insignificant the gains are? It has effectively no influence on survivability whatsoever. The problem is that you can't tank these endgame mobs that hit for 2k, 3k, 4k. Squeezing an extra 50 HP out of Inner Beast isn't even remotely close to being the solution, and especially not when it comes at the expense of raw survivability. You're essentially trying to solve a problem of insufficient survivability by sacrificing more survivability in exchange for something that does nothing.

Your "Warrior Compendium" is just a collection of vague ideas, most of them incorrect and based on nothing more than suppositions. There's no solution, there's no undiscovered key to enabling the warrior's power. It's just a severely underpowered class with no hope in sight due to developer arrogance and incompetence. I have no feedback because there's nothing to share other than the fact that the class is just too weak to be effective in the endgame. The fights are just barely doable if everything is perfect, but it's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Don't waste your time trying to "research" the secret of the class, it isn't there.

I no longer play this game so I have no further interest in it beyond expressing my annoyance with this extreme failure in class balance and content design. Since Yoshi-P has chosen the easy route of essentially telling people to shut up about the problem, I don't expect it to change. SE are specifically known for never fixing class imbalance and I haven't seen anything that indicates that they've changed; rather they've clearly shown that they haven't.

I was doing Ifrit with my warrior a few days ago to help some guildies. Got other pug warriors in all attempts. They were all vit stacked. I had just swapped from vit to strength to test it out. In a few occasions I let the other warriors tank it. On others I tanked it.

When we got out, my healer said, "Please don't ever let any other warrior tank it. With you I cast a Cure every so often, with others I have to cast Cure II all the time. I was so glad when you tanked there."

Maybe it isn't that I was strength stacked, maybe it was that I managed my Wrath Stacks/Inner Beast/ and Bloodbath/Berserk/Internal Release better and I would heal myself a little better. Now I now Ifrit is not Coil and I am not saying that suddenly if I go to Coil I will be the magical Warrior that will crack the instance and show everyone how to play. I am just saying, on the same fight, same class, several Warriors, all but me stacked with vit, I was the easiest to heal.

I only got up to Garuda though so I am not going to pretend I know how Titan or Coil are.

I do share your frustation though, sometimes I feel sorry for bringing this class into a raid. It's a shame because I love the feel of it. And I also agree that I don't think YoshiP has the right attitude on this. The class needs fixing.
