Warriors need MORE damage

[Derio]

WAR is already the strongest right now in terms of cheese factor. And still has the best OGCDs. PLD was already nerfed. If anything they need to focus on fixing DRK, not buffing WAR when WAR already sits at the top for damage.

Although I haven't capped it yet (lvl 68 on WAR) I would say WAR is in a good spot right now. PLD is solid but I'm not a big fan of its gameplay. DRK definitely needs some love right now. DPS could use a small boost and We're defintely lacking mitigation tools, especially pre-70. TBN is a poor replacement in that regard seeing as we don't even get it till we cap.

Warrior damage is base off off rng https://www.mooglemedia.com/releasin...w-xenosys-vex/ this interview frim xenosys-vex explains why

No more so than any other job...

Less, so, even, than Bard or Monk.

Yes, a disproportionately large part of Warrior damage is dealt within a small portion of gameplay, which means fewer sample strikes, but it's no more dependent on critical strikes or direct hits than anyone else -- less, even, than any job that specifically has on-crit mechanics.

That wont change the fact that people don't want it because it does not provide the other classes with something.

Samurai is in exactly the same situation (maybe worse because it only has Diversion for emnity control and slashing is also obtained from NIN)

Its not so much about the personal DPS not making up for the lack of party utility its that everyone just wants to benefit from something the others bring.

TLDR; increasing personal DPS wont remove the stigma towards it but instead the other classes will just complain they don't get the same numbers.

What exactly do you mean by best OGCDs? War has literally 2 OGCDs attacks. The community seems to believe onslaught is mediocre at best leaving the uppercut of doom. Compared to req, spirits, shield swipe + scorn?

Wut?

I don't follow.

Why do people keep comparing war to pld? Does war need a dps buff when compared to drk? I thought the class with the least utility should do the most damage.

offensive or defensive utility?
Let's address that before we go down that rabbit hole.

Deliverance will go from 5% damage increase to 25% later on... it's going to happen regardless people joke about it or not...
