Why hasn't SE buffed Warriors already.

[Squa]

Its pretty much a consensus that they are a fairly weak tank class. Most serious raiders saw that in late august, and SE even officially said it last week, when they planned to update the warrior for 2.1 patch with several buffs.

However, why are they waiting for this? Everyday that goes by, WAR is weaker and are suffering. They plan to rework the WAR class quite a bit, from what I heard, but it would literally take the game programmers 30 seconds to make a lot of the changes to warriors today, in a hotfix. Simply replace the 15% healing buff to 20%, make it available always during defiance, do you want you can immediately and today.

Some more compicated changes, like reworks of Holmgang could be released later in 2.1, but SE waiting for this I think is a very bad decision. They are simply trying to dangle a carrot, saying "something good is coming in the future, but you have to wait for it, we wont give it to you now keep paying/playing."

When in MMO histoy have you see a class change mid patches?

Here's a thread that should answer your question. And really, can't wait 3 weeks?

Lets say IF they listen to you and made a pre-emptive change to WAR pre-2.1. Than you'd say "Oh, while you are at it why not just change everything now?" or "Oh, why not launch 2.1 today?" or "Oh, why am I eating a banana fumoffufumofumofumofuu"

They did it in FFXI constantly, although that was probably more so due to there not being any set timeline(s) for patches or updates.

Are you sure about that? Because I only remember job balancing happening with patches.

Two WARs downed Twintania recently. Yes the buff is needed but have some patience!

It happened more so around '05-'06 I want to say, when haste+tp builds were gaining more respect; major imbalances would be discovered by the community, SE would hot-fix a month or so later, the community would find ways to get around the fixes and show imbalance still, and SE would try to fix them again another month or so later. It went back and forth for a while (with expanding gaps between "fixes") until somewhere in '07 (iirc, it's been forever) when only SAMs could really reap the benefits without being geared to the teeth (or using ridiculous builds with expensive consumables) and became SE "golden child" until the 75 cap was lifted (I hear they're no longer SE's spoiled little child).

if anything you should be getting stronger with every passing week
