Please Square/Enix let me choose how I can Play my Warrior...

[Eldtagg]

Yeah, he wanted the option to be a DPS Warrior instead of a tank.

Thank you for confirmation.

But why not just play Warrior?

Warrior is basically a DPS class already.

You just have the added benefit to be tanky so you can run head first into the fray before everyone else, which is exactly what a barbarian is all about!

So, if I understood correctly, OP wanted warrior to have a DPS-offspec?

Yes, for the most part. But their first post also included complaints about other players in dungeons expecting them to go at a pace they weren't comfortable with. But when people had pointed out that most likely wouldn't happen and gave them alternatives like playing a DPS class instead like SAM if they weren't enjoying themselves or playing with trusts/squadrons, they resorted to saying that the constructive criticisms they were receiving wasn't even advice. One thing led to another and now the thread is what it is now.

OP also doesnt want to put in any kind of effort and at the same time be praised by the team. This is a classic "you pull, you tank" griefer.

also seemed to block anyone who wasnt on the side of "I agree with you 100%"

so, yeah, one of the people with whom any kind of constructive ideas or opinions were virtually pointless to share with.

Playing Warrior as a DPS was supposedly the point of tbe the thread.
However, they're too busy playing the victim while blaming and lashing out at everyone else. Instead, posting the thread in the first place was pointless. You can see just by the original post's presentation there was never any intent to have a constructive discussion.

In their responses, they care less about discussing Warrior than they do about their fixation on how other roles and players ruin their experience.
They're completely unwilling to recognize any fault of their own and clearly have no interest in anyone else's viewpoint or feedback. Unless you somehow agree with their viewpoint without falter, you're just wrong.

Also as I understood it they did not want to actually tank while in instances like dungeons. Like he wanted to be the warrior class, but have someone else, like the black mage, tank the mobs.

Yeah, and unfortunately such a system is fairly unique.
Only Rift and a few other MMO have something like this.
FF14 isn't one of those few.

Good luck OP. If you find something that ultimately works for you let us know~
I hope in the end you are happy.

At this point, I'm convinced. They're trolling. Literally out of nowhere they come back with the racism discussion again claiming people are spreading lies when no one is discussing anything about you outside of this thread. This is actually ridiculous lmao

You are wasteing your breath. If i don't answer here someone in this Topic then it is because ...

A.) You are in my Ignore List which you will never leave again
B.) Or I just liked your Comment and there needed nothing more to say / write

And now you can try to find out which one of those 2 are you after this Topic.

[Vahlnir]

You are wasteing your breath.

So are you.

A.) You are in my Ignore List which you will never leave again

That's the best thing I've read in this entire thread.
