Buffing Warriors damage in Xpac?

[Pinkie_Pie]

With the Dark Knight coming out, whats the point in using a warrior? From what I heard Dark Knights will also have the same amount of health as a Warrior but has better life stealing for the damage it takes then a Warrior does which I remember back in the past they said Warriors used life stealing to gain back their health through combat to be that HP soaking tank only ended up in failure. There's no point in having the Warrior and Dark Knight have the same dps and health if the Dark Knight is just going to be better then the warrior in every other way. We don't want another World of Warcraft with Death knights being Superior then the warrior in dps/tanking or a warrior doing "magic" damage or something... Idon'tknow *Burb*

I like this game, I really do, each class has a uniqueness to them without them all being the same, in the words of egoraptor "this what creates a good. f***ing. game." and I love it.

How about buffing the warrior damage to make them like they should, be a unstoppable beast with a two handed axe and hits like a TRUCK to make up the crappy life stealing warriors do currently, or buff their dps abilities for longer duration like berserk and unchained.

That would make my warrior even more yummie



What do you guys think?

Are you really complaining about DRK vs WAR even though we don't know anything about DRK skills yet ?

[Insidious]

Start the complaint train now so they are nerfed when they come out for the expansion. Employ the dragoon strategy.

[Keisatsu]

So you're complaining about a class we know nothing of and that hasn't even been released yet..thumbs up. -sarcasm over-

Ohhhh this must be another troll thread..damn got tricked into taking the bait. Ah well, 12am and sleepy, I'll be more on guard tomorrow.

None whatsoever. In fact, I heard that not only is Warrior's damage not going to be buffed, but it's going to be nerfed into the ground, while DRK gets all of the Warrior's skills in equivalent terms plus some new spells. It's going to just be better. Also, the DRK isn't going to use any of the gear you worked up to get as a WAR, so you'll have to start from scratch there, too.

Paladins and Warriors have the same effective HP. Any tank released that has either warriors HP or paladins innate 20% defense boost will put them on equal ground.

Warrior's HP with a slight defensive buff or WAR's hp with the same healing modification would work.

This OP is so crazy its not even worth responding to.

the op has a point. tough its definitly to early to say anything but as a long term mmo veteran i can say this one sadly savely. the NEW class will always be better than the OLD class because why? SALES. if the new classes are OP more people will buy the xpac to play em. if that same thing happens with drk then you wont see any paladin or warrior anymore 4 weeks into the xpac. of course they will address that issue with time. but until that point everyone will go dark knight. i really hope warrior remains a solid and equal choice to DRK because thier role (offtank mainly) is basicly the same but drk is just way cooler because of sword > axe. so lets hope they dont screw us veteran tank players all over. i dont wanna restart completly with gear or another class just because the devs fail at balance.

Thank you windklinge, at least you agree with me unlike everyone else that just up right attacked me, but then again "Internet"

Vets of MMO's have ALL seen this done many times over when a new class comes out, shoot even IN this game, ninjas when they came out were doing too well what the dev's wanted leaving dragoons to be left in the dust. In the end minor nerfs had to be done to ninjas to lower them down and minor buffs to dragoons to make them really good. Now you got another tanking class coming in that pretty much does the same thing what warriors do and just like many MMO's it will come out OP outdoing the warrior in performance.

Now, the reason why I brought this up was cause the head guy himself when asked what will dks do compare to warriors and he said it himself that Dk's will use life stealing to regain its health back from the damage he takes(I think we all knew that one) but HOW much is the question? If the dk get the same amount of HP as the warrior and does the same amount of damage as the warrior with higher lifesteal which makes the warrior look like a pile of poo, what will you want a warrior for? IF the dk does MORE damage then the warrior added with those others, then what will you want a warrior for? These questions WILL always come up cause this brings concern to the people who play them.
