How are warriors after 2.1?

[abzoluut]

1. Warriors are monsters in terms of AOE threat generation and can easily snatch it off a paladin, even more so now that we have a wider AOE threat generator: Steel Cyclone --> Overpower spam

Then you play with very poor Paladins. Overpower spam? Of course, throw in 8 overpowers. Who needs tp anyways.. So misleading lol.

Speaking as a PLD, WARs can indeed rip AoE threat clean off me.
I just end up taking it back ~20 seconds later after they run out of MP/TP and I'm still Flashing and Riot-Blading.

The patch didn't really change anything there.

The really good thing about 2.1 is the across-the-board enmity increases for tanks - a WAR is quite literally the ONLY thing that can rip AoE threat off me now, Double-Flaring BLMs are yesterday's news...

Pretty sure he didn't mean Overpower once you're lead in enmity, just until you have a cushion against healers and the DPS.

Three Defiance Overpowers has the enmity equivalent of a Shield Oath Rage of Halone combo, except Overpower is on multiple targets. Flash does not generate THAT much enmity (e.g. 3 Flashes != a full enmity combo worth)..
