You shouldn't being using IB all the time anyways. I only use it in Holy S moments. My healing buddy loves me that I don't always use iB

When you should and shouldn't use IB is entirely contextual. In lower content I burn it because why not. In the few titan pug attempts where we managed to make it past heart I have pretty much only used it on MB. I don't think you can blanket statement something like that because the moment I need IB to stay alive on high damage fights is when I use it, and if its not needed for survival, then who cares?

Will they put the HP bonus gained in Wrath V into defiance itself? He said that losing the extra hp when using inner beast kind of defeats the purpose which is true, so maybe that's how they will fix it. Would that be OP?

from how i read it, they didnt say they were changing anything.. they are suggesting that if you dont want to be squishy, dont use your wrath.

edit: youre right, it does say adjustment

I just hope they make the right changes. Too little and we're still not on par with PLD. Too much and we become the new PLD (or the old WAR from 1.0). I suppose this is the trouble with balance in any game, I just hope they at least don't sell us short - I'd rather they over buffed us then made slight tweaks from there. At least they know IB needs to be adjusted...

The cycle of buff and nerf is always like this. I agree that sometimes an over-buff is a necessary thing, it just happens if the math is isn't perfect and it's better than being afraid to make a class too strong and letting it be terrible forever and ever, which happens too often in MMOs and results in some classes never being wanted ever. FFXI was notorious for this, if you were the wrong class you either re-rolled the right class or you never got into a party for literally years and you could not play the game period.

I am gald to hear Warrior Class Issues are being adressed.

I really hope they get the balance right and we end up with a balanced and fun class to play.
