Boycotting Warrior 4.0 (Let's do it!)

[Rhyn]

While losing the theme of a lifegain tank is pretty shitty, I can live with all the changes except the stance swap penalty. Destroying the fluidity of the warrior in this way is just unacceptable, and whoever thought this was good idea is just incompetent. I'm actually thinking of maining red mage now because of that alone.

It's a japanese game...in Japan..there is no such thing as stance dance..., you main tank? tank stance, you off tank? dps stance, for all the fight...

Is this really a thing over there? Doubt it. Sounds more like a projection of your wishful thinking mixed with weeaboo sentiment.

I'm certain everyone in japan was bad at the game too. This just makes the most sense.

I'm... not surprised to see you guys lose gauge when you switch stances, but maybe one step back instead of two would help it. In HW it was designed to switch between stances, that's why you didn't lose anything. I can get them thinking that was too powerful, but they didn't do much to dismantle that design other than the gauge loss.

Honestly, this "tank and healer balance" that they went for seems more like they just gave up on a lot of classes rather than an actual balancing attempt. For healers it's downright bad, the most powerful healer got the most buffs, the most unique healer got a lot of their playstyle removed, and the weakest healer got pretty much nothing.
