Thread: 2 Big Thumbs up to SE for all the Warrior Changes

2 Big Thumbs up to SE for all the Warrior Changes + the Overall Quality of Life Change!!

( right-click person name Blist? IV Materia from Quest? Mindblown. )

Didnt think Warrior could get any more fun but It just did (at least for me)! I think i will be rolling my WAR now more often now except when fights need silent and stun on demand is needed.


I seem to always have a answer for mitigation/survival on WAR now. Big Hit coming ? Pop Vengeance . Vegeance Not up ? Pop Inner Beast right before the hit,.Dont have Wrath for Inner Beast? Pop Infuriate for Innerbeast. No Wrath and Infuriate not up ? Absorb it with Thrill of Battle. That's not up either? Use Covalescence +Foresight +Bloodbath+Second Wind (+Berserk if its up and you want a lil more from Bloodbath and SecondWind) to recover the lost HP quicker. All those Cooldowns not up ? Pop featherfoot +Holmgang and pray healer heals you in time. So far there has not been a time where a Big hit was coming and there was nothing i could do to reduce the incoming pain (Unless you blow all your CD at once, which is not very smart). And lets not forget the new Storm Path; Cant turn down 10% less damage. WAR feels much more proactive than re-active now.

Although PLD Mitigation is still Superior, Overall Warrior feels much more solid now. I have no complaints. I know alot of people were outrage about the Enmity boost but if I can use all my Combo's now to maximize efficiency, then why should I complain ? With that said...Please dont turn this into another Enmity is OP thread.

PLD has higher mitigation and utility, WAR has debuffs, slightly higher DPS, and more AoE DPS. Reasons to Bring Both vs only 2 of the same.

In the Future, I hope they differentiate the tanks a bit more. Giving PLD some Exclusive spells could be a start. Cure is pretty much useless, cant use raise during fight. Our only useful options are Flash and Stoneskin. I'd like to see a Sword Spell that can be used while in Shield Oath to add magic damage to your sword for a duration or a Spell that slowly steals MP from Target for 30secs. Also, PLD could use another 3part Combo.

Great Job SE. I see you listen to the community.
