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

Raising parry a ton = bulwark= onlyphysical= not very useful.

What. How can you discount a free ~26% damage reduction on a completely separate roll? The only non-physical boss in coil is ADS.

I would kill for a parry buff on my warrior for turn 4. Hell even turn 1. Then again we abuse turn 1 by not killing blobs after the split. Works great.

Even if we got a parry buff it would have to be higher % than bulwark to make it equal because block is on a separate roll.

I am not, Fyreus' idea was not in conjunction with the inner beast/vengeance/holmgang changes.

You do?
You gotta explain that one to me.
We need to kill the blobs off for removing stacks cause the WAR offtank just gets crushed.

No, not quite.
If you want the cooldowns to be equal, you can keep it the same and that would be fine.

I'm sure there are different methods. Not speaking for Enjin, but my group does the kite method. There is a couple different ways you can implement it. Burn the PLD's (MTs) real quick while the Warrior gets ST threat. Soon as his drops you sprint/kite around the room. Not too hard to do with triggered tail swipes. Don't get too far ahead or he'll cut across tiles. Or you could burn the Warrior's (if you are able to regulate slimes easy and keep pre split Cad in check have Warrior MT) then have PLD Kite.

Some groups just have the DD/heals to kill both before X stacks as well, that might eat your Warrior.

We stop feeding slimes after split as well. We did ours last night and got one slime to him before split. Had just spawned second when split happened. So we fed the slime to mine (MT) while the OT dragged his to its spot. We burned mine (killed it) and spawned no slimes. Then the OT kited the rest of the 2nd one's health. Ez pz. We didn't even have enough for LB3 on it by the time he dropped. Tank didn't get hit once kiting either. We certainly have enough gear for the switch method surviving without spawning slimes, but we have found this way works better for us and seems faster.
