I hope war gets some changes tonight

Well the OP is going to be really disappointed when he sees the patch notes that's for sure. I can imagine the duty roulette queues just got worse.

Ah fair enough, i just assume it worked the same as fell cleave but again, not having lvl 70 WAR i wouldn't know. as to why? massive mitigation. Depending on the fight, something like that would be amazing during ahk morns in T13 for example as later on in the fight the tank busters lasted longer than inner beast did. Also its only 200 pot less than fell cleave with a self heal, its still a powerful skill but i feel like everyone has overlooking it due to fell cleave.

Yeah but back to back Inner Beasts are bad, since you would clip most of the remaining timer. You can do the same with 3 spread out IBs though which is actually possible.

Looks like just some emnity increases right now. Though it seems they are hinting at some more major changes for 4.05.

[P4X0R10N]

Yeah, we should know more during next week's liveletter.

Tired about talking about this stuff. Tried sam, and it's fun. But it's not the same. I'm just too heavily invested in war. If they don't substantially address warrior issues by 4.05, I'm just gonna take a long break until they do.

But, I don't think the issues are so bad that it can't be addressed. So I'm hopeful something good is in store for 4.05.

I'm definitely taking a break once my subscription ends - I only bought a month anyway.

Been playing the Warrior borderline exclusively since the beta, it's seen some big changes in the past, but for now I'm just going to take a break because I really don't want to play Paladin again.

I leveled pld and dark to 60. Paladins are cool, but I never really got into it as a theme you know? Too righteous and all that. Plus I prefer big 2 handed weapons.

Thought I\\\\\\'d like dark cuz 2 handed swords are my favorite weapon type, but I just couldn\\\\\\'t get into the game play.

But then came Warrior and it was everything I hoped for in a tank. A tank that felt like a dps even if it wasn\\\\\\'t actually putting out dps level numbers. The self sustain was great, the moments of burst with fell cleave was awesome, being able to switch stances on the fly was fun, and the whole viking berserker theme really grew on me.

[P4X0R10N]

Warriors have some truly great animations too. Fell cleave, steel cyclone and upheaval are beautiful. Inner release is also beautiful. Heck, even worthless Shake it off looks great.

I really, really hope they bring wars back to a good place. I thought I\\\\\\\\\\\\'d dig samurai, and was even considering going dps full time with it. But I love tanking and I love war. I even love it\\\\\\\\\\\\'s cheesy 60 to 70 class quests lol.

If wars stay the way they are now, that might be just enough for me to call it quits. Ffxiv is a great game with many great aspects to it. The story, the pve stuff like raids, and pvp is cool. But I experience all of that through being a warrior. So yeah, anxiously waiting for the live letter next week and 4.05.

Of course, the swap costing nothing would be nicer and would bring WAR more in line with PLD / DRK, where the gauge cost of swapping stances is negligible.

I mean it's not a negligible cost for dark knight but I think this is a good point, why not make stance dancing on warrior cost a fifth of its damage resource and burn a gcd? Would you accept that?

I've also always felt like switching into tank stance should restore my hp by at least the amount gained. I never really understood why it didn't.

[P4X0R10N]

Because its not meant to be heal. Suppose you have 50k health in deliverance. Switching to defiance would give you 10k health. You could do that every 20 secs for a 10k heal.

Agreed, Paladin just felt too boring to play in my experience. I got it to level 50 in the base game, before all the Warrior changes back then, but since then haven't really been bothered to touch it anymore. Dark Knight is cool I guess but I haven't spent any time on it - still in the level 30s.

Warrior is just a fun class to play, it's a shame they have no idea how to balance it properly. HW Warrior felt perfect to me. Also now that I think about it - I'm probably going to stop tanking and level a DPS class finally.

ed: Can't even use Bloodbath anymore. Crazy.
