A plea to reconsider Inner Beast changes

[Taitoru]

Can we take a look at your gear and stats in game(party/foodbuff) ?

again what kind of mob did you hit with IB to make high damage like that ?

I can't see how can you going to do so much damage like that. The number that you told us like it was hax or something like that...

[Leiron]

Come on Paikis answer the question that some people ask about how can you even do so much damage like that.
You told us your average IB is like 1.8-2k heal with your gryphonskin acessories. how can you even pull out a damage like that with your 8k hp?

8K HP is like you must be in the party and almost full full with ilvl90 gear of fending... (without food or potion)

He isn't the dude is completely full of it.
The only time I have ever seen someone with 6400 base HP, was Warrior who had almost entirely ilvl 90 gear, and was in full fending gear.
No gryphon skin, and his Inner beast was not hitting anything close towards 600.
I went through his entire posting history, there is absolutely nothing involving a 1184 inner beast.
Perhaps he meant the HEAL was 1184, in which case I can believe that.

MRD with every single cross class DPS CD up, yep. Aah I see the one below it. The whole thing though was that you stated your average was that high, not that you could attain those numbers and by the looks of it that's a STR pot + Zerk, not your typical IB.

Confirming that MRD can use WAR only armour and WAR only abilities (Inner Beast)

lolwut? you call that average IB mitigation? IB with berserk + unchained + crit + str pot ? is that count as average IB? what a joke lol

My post was in response to this

Unchained doesn't affect Inner Beast. It's just crit, Berserk and STR pot. No I don't consider that average.

It is pretty rare that I don't have either STR potion or Berserk for Inner Beast. I would say my 'average' Inner Beast is buffed in one way or another.

OP Snip

I am completely with you on this. I am happy to see warrior changes coming, but I am not happy with the 180 on class design. Being able to self-heal, and having to manage that properly to tank well, is what makes Warrior fun for me. The proposed changes are going to dumb warriors down, and take away from our unique tanking style.

Warrior's do need some help, but as the OP said: all the other changes are more than enough to give us what we need. Changing IB from being a reliable self-heal to being 1/3 of that heal & a 20% dmg reduction takes away the feel from the class we've all learned to play / love.

Umm.. what? Marauder can NOT use Inner Beast, or Warrior only Armor.....
What are you on?

[Kitru]

I am not happy with the 180 on class design.

The WAR playstyle is not defined by self-heals; it's defined by Wrath stack generation and consumption. The fundamental WAR play construct is staying the same and is, in fact, being made *better* because you're not longer being penalized for using those Wrath stacks while also having all of those Wrath consumption abilities actually perform *much better*. The only thing you're losing is the ability to see a big fancy heal number fly up on your screen when you use IB.

If you honestly think that WAR is somehow going to suffer from catastrophic identity failure, it's only because you have a laughably warped view of how WAR actually plays.
