Some Warrior Q's

[Einheri]

The more I read these forums the more apparent the class devs idea of the pld shield block isn't a consideration of the player base. You can see in all these posts about war and pld very rarely is pld block considered. I assume its because in the raid meta block and parry can't be counted on for mitigation.

alot of people ask for pld to get an aoe damage spell because the current meta is to deal damage. Pld doesn't get aoe because it can block autoattacks and a war can't gen wrath to spend on mitigation using overpower. This keeps the class idea of pld being defensive and war being an offensive tank but doesn't work in the current meta.

Look at IB it reduces all damage by 20% and costs stacks. Pld blocks for more mitigation but it's rng can proc 5 times in a row or not at all and only physical. Blocking a flatten was awesome your health would barely move but your healers healed like you didn't block anyway cause they can't afford it if you didn't.

inner beast being a skill also makes it makes it better for stacking with cool downs on tank busters. I guess sheltron can do this now but for more mitigation against physical. Imo the devs need to reavaluate the role of block in the content design.

Also thrill is often over looked. Its as good as rampart for increasing your eHP to eat a tank buster but lacks the natural eHealing rampart provides. For single hit spike it holds its own pair it with con for ongoing mitigation.

Pros and cons they are very well balanced. But content design is highlighting the cons of one class.
