Thread: Warrior "buff" in 2.1: not what we are expecting?

To those saying that WAR will outshine PLD or the other way around, they haven't even announced what changes they are making to PLD yet. I would hold your fire until you have all the information presented to you. For all you know they may have made a lot of adjustments on PLD also.

No changes are plan on paladin. This was said by Yoshi-P.

Ï don't see why would they buff PLD. The point is to get them equal after all.

We have good dps (dont come here to tell me "you're not a dps class so war dps= pld dps, because i ALWAYS hit 300+ (with the defiace damage reduction) with 400+ crits With all cds activated (berseker, unchained and the crit skill of mnks) i can easily hit 600 dmg with some 900+ crits (and im not even full str (something like 6.7k hp with defiance)) why cant we use it to actually be a viable tank? It's really sad to have to go full vit to be accepted in end-game content.
With these buff in my opinion nothing will change, wars full-vit will be always preferred and when some war geared with some strength will join a party he will hear "Oh god...You only have *insert number between 6000-7000* hp!!111 You cant tank.* *Mighty Warrior has left the party.*

Sorry for the wall of text (and sorry for my english)

P.S. also sorry for the 2-parts wall of text.

I think this are great changes. I also play both PLD and WAR and I can see the WAR been almost at the PLD level.

Now I have more reason to switch between skill rotations more often.

Also note aside. Holmgang animation seems week. Why not added as a Charge towards the enemy and at the same time the drop of lighting as it was at first +Bind and the new buff. This will be also beneficial on the PVP as on PVE. Sorry but the chain seems really lame. Where is the WAR pulling that chain from =/. Charge seems more reasonable.

Caster: KnockBack.
Bards: Repelling Shot.
Monks: Charges.
Paladins: N/A <<Paladins need something
Warrios: N/A << Holmgang

thank you so much Naoki_Yoshida

now....

PLD=WAR

and

WAR=PLD

we should make a petition to not change inner beast, seriously, it's the reason why i love playing wars.

All of these stories are really cool and all but scroll down and look at the tags for this thread. I rofled. anyways I feel like this brings a balance to the game, they were never trying to balance the warrior to another class, from what i gather. What Yoshi said in a live letter was that the PLD was able to survive 4 stacks in coil when they were not supposed to and warriors would die, like the mechanic intended. Along with many other instances of the same issues. Instead of trying to change the game around the warrior they changed the warrior around the game. This should make it so everyone now needs a warrior and a paladin. Which works for me.
