WARRIOR STATS ALLOCATION

[kukurumei]

240-280 dps is pretty close to a full DPS



Extra Vitality is a waste if you are not using it.

Extra Str is never a waste.

And healers will hate you for that. They want a tank, not something that saves 30 seconds on a run. There are a few cases where the war's dps can make a difference, but stupidly minor, because of the way content is built on.

Even if you are burning something like an add, those 30 str is stupidly negligible, since it's a GCD problem, not a damage problem.

Everyone sprouts T8 T8 T8....when more or less it's done by optimization not by stats. No group has ever said "oh that str made a difference" on a warrior.

IF you run with a static that never changes ever, I can understand that. But it's still comes down to tanking first and foremost, and SE's infatuation with bursty damage.

Lawl.

You clearly don't understand what we are talking about. It is not just +30STR. ( which is huge btw)

You also cannot read what I just said in the quote you quoted me in. Extra Vitality does nothing.
Explain your theory on how extra health helps, if you are already surviving, and not dipping.

T6 is a mechanics fight, one does not need 10k health.

Shaving off 30 seconds is a big deal, even in a 10 min fight, that is a 5% reduction in time spent fighting aka damage taken.

T6, the faster you get out of phase 1, the less devours occur, ie reducing chance to screw up.
The faster you get out of phase 2, the less bees, the less devours, the less blighted (this increases everyones damage if they stand around less) ect it adds up.
This applies to almost every fight in this game.


@Judge Xero

Yes you won't be doing the same as a Full DPS, but you'll be almost doubling another tank, while still providing the survivability.

And as far as I know, i92-i96 geared dps is only pulling dps in the 300s(t6), so its not that far away.

It is a hybrid role, that has become much more viable in t6-9.
