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

[Parasite]

Pretty excited for the changes that are coming though. It looks like Warrior will still take some skill to play, but also a good tank.

This.

With these changes WAR finally can stand up on par with a Paladin and not feel like an useless class when it comes to for example Twintania.

I'll switch back to WAR for sure with those changes and our PLD WAR team will shine. ^^

You mean the War/War team will shine. Legitimately, what does your Paladin bring to the table at this point that you don't? Hallowed Ground?

More reliable on demand mitigation. The only form of active mitigation that can be activated based on this, is vengeance, and to a lesser extent, inner beast(assuming you infuriate immediately). Our other mitigation skills will require us to go through a combo rotation, or have wrath ready to throw out inner beast. Paladin's will still be safer due to it being more on demand. Where I have to go through a combo to get inner beast or storm's path, you can just use rampart or bulwark, or sentinel right away if needed.

Holy... ... cow. I love this stuff. As a warrior on turn 1-5 I have pretty much tanked all content with exception to turn 4 and while I haven't netted a victory, I can say these changes were direly needed. For me, NO, I don't need them, I got fine without them but for the rest of the people in the party, I feel this NEEDS TO HAPPEN. The amount of stress we cause our healers is just inexcusable and this goes a long way to reducing that.

I'm extremely happy about two things, steel cyclone and storms path, I'm happy I can experience more of our combo rotation. One of the things I love about war is our combo system and the fact that we didn't get anything out of 1 of the combos made me sad. Now I have choices which will be fun to use during the thick of battle. And if Steel cyclone will be what I think it will be, I can get some use on it for o-poo poo moments during AK and WP runs and twinania phase 1 use.

Finally... *Holmgang* GET OVER HERE*

It is pretty weak compared to Overpower for Enmity generation.
The only thing I find it useful for is when you have Berserk + Internal Release and Bloodbath stacked on a huge pull. If you are already Infuriated you can do 2 Steel Cyclones hitting up to 600 per mob.

You get more out of unchained+infuriate+bloodbath+berserk+Internal Release+overpower, then finish off the pack with steel cyclone. I like steel cyclone, because it is fun though, so I do tend to double click it.

War/War..hahaha. Asking for healers to rage.

So the answer to other people not knowing how to play WAR was making it into a PLD....thank you n00bs i say.........Inner Beast was what made Warriors awesome....>.>you just broke my heart it was all going so well with all the improvements...and then boom stabbed in the nuts. I could heal myself for around 2k on every Inner Beast, now you made Warrior into another PLD, If i wanted to play PLD id jsut switch to my PLD...thats why I have them both leveled.

[Australia]

If these changes make it into 2.1 as stated here...WAR will be the new go-to tank.

I totally support the buffs in general for WAR...but this list is just OP xD
To even think this "balances" things out is ridiculous...this puts WAR way ahead of PLD easily lol

And this is what i expected from a pally to say, should have tried tanking as a war pre this patch then comment about having an OP save my ass bubble lol. This buff was inevitable, deal with it.

As a PLD I am happy WAR's are getting buffed, it'll be nice to see more WAR's in raids, not a PLD or dps job that's their 2nd relic job. Grats WAR's!!
