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.

[Windklinge]

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.

Ok so DRK might be a tank that sacrifices even more base mitigation for a greater self heal, like a polarised version of WAR compared to PLD.

One can already see cons of this style of tanking because it relies on constant uptime to have the same level of 'mitigation' as other tanks get.

PLD's mitigation is almost entirely cooldown-based.
WAR needs to land Inner Beast when it matters.
What's wrong with a tank that relies even more on landing attacks to have the same level of mitigation?
