The way of the Warrior. Mitigation fix

[Hulk_Smash]

Very simple. To fix the current FF14 WAR, SE should take a page from Blizzard. Make the WAR job more similar to a Brew master monk.

Defiance will:
reduce damage by 5% per wrath stack, max 25%
Increase HP by 25%
Increase parry rate by 10% per wrath stack, Max 50%
SE combo will allow stagger damage. 80% damage received, with 20% staggered over 10 secs
Last but not least, SP combo creates a damage absorb shield for 10% of max HP, with 15 sec CD

Done. WAR is fixed.

Nuff said tbh.

But hey to continue your way of thinking. Why not increase the HP-Pool to 300-500k like in WoW?


Edit: As (many) said before, the idea of warrior is based on Selfheal and not Mitigation, i dont want Warri to be some kind of PLD with a 2-handed axe....

Personally, I'd like to see self heals also raise the max HP, equal to whats healed (like thrall) for roughly 10-20 seconds.

Self heals wouldn't be wasted completely, but also can still be used at incorrect times. (aka doesnt help to use it at full HP, and then lose it before getting hit.)
And a consistent amount of +healing received, regardless of wrath. (like 10% with defiance, and then 1% with each stack of wrath)

This makes the Warrior based on mitigation
Which means changing it's base paradigm of self-healing with huge amounts of HP instead of mitigation.

Sorry, can't agree on those changes due to that alone. If you want to give advice on Warrior, at least maintain the same design space

[Hulk_Smash]

The current high Hp of a warrior and parry is its mitigation. Since they don't have shields, party rate should be increased in the tanking stance. Also it does stay in line. Absorbing damage as healing, on CD, is still healing. Damage is still mitigated with the sane design basis.

Did this homie just say paradigm?

You are only allowed to shift paradigms around if you are Lightning!

Brewmaster is nothing like warrior, stop this.

Really? Brewmaster doesn't have self heals? They don't parry attacks? They have access to shields like other tanks? The are not squishy on initial pulls? On and on......
If you don't agree, then that is fine. But if that's the case, do tell why you think it would not work. Don't just make blanket statements with out justification.
