6.1 Warrior Feedback

[Shurrikhan]

This might sound weird, but I don't actually care what shape the AOE is. I'm going to land it regardless. The more obscure it is, the more my brain meats likes it.

Okay so I care a little, but not in the way it seems.

I just figure that if they were all going to hit everything regardless, so long as I didn't suddenly go blind several seconds of movement ago, and the old version had more range... then I'll keep the one with range, tyvm. As such, I'd rather not have had Overpower changed.

The problem is now that it is a circle aoe, it's even harder to hit everything with one aoe while pulling and can end up missing multiple mobs, especially in the first few pulls in the new dungeon because of the smaller aoe range.

And for your last statement, I had no issue with moving around to hit everything with overpower and mythril tempest, especially when there are aoes going out forcing me to move anyway.

yeah the work around right now for that is to do what other tanks do and use the ranged attack to have the pack close in, and then use the base AOE attack to hit the remainder.

[Marxam]

Easy fix: Make all tank circle aoe radius 7-8 yalms. Problem fixed.

I too voiced my displeasure at the Overpower change because it was boring and unnecessary, but let's not act like it really matters. Old Overpower had some advantages, but so does new Overpower.

The real issues with WAR are DPS (along with PLD) and critical/direct hit rate raid buff anti-synergy. Nascent Glint not catching the WAR's 4th GCD is also poor design, but it's a minor issue.

I'm not one to care too much about job complexity or difficulty, but given that WAR's difficulty was eased even further in 6.1, it could probably stand to gain another ability/mechanic to juggle in the future.

I am not even WAR main, but WAR has always had the no.1 aesthetic among tank jobs in my eyes.
...Though I have never played it too much.

I recently made brand spanking new alt to train myself, aiming to become average-alright-ok on the job.
I was looking forward to Overpower the cone, and now they took it away... QQ

Only advantage I really see is that people that cannot be bothered to actually learn alt jobs now no longer have to, though that's a depressing design direction if there ever was one.

Oh, I'd argue most changes done to WAR since ShB have been unnecessary simplifications at best, or negative at worst. The one change I could get behind was removing the gap closer as a resource spender, though I'd rather have had it just be entirely utility and not part of dps rotation at all, but that's neither here nor there.

[Gryffinscar]

Also adding in my hat supporting reverting overpower to a cone.

[DannyDeDitto]

Me too, i hate it so much i went over to play dark knight for flood pulling.
Just give all tanks a cone weave (?

The design of the game has become totally about meeting the necessary defense requirements and then go all in on damage, which is probably why they didn't make the gap closer pure utility because the game doesn't have the button real-estate to have strictly non-dps related situational actions. Defense feels low on dps and da bit high on tanks, and they got too much healing power on heals from healers as a result of it.
