Buffing Warriors damage in Xpac?

[PWilson]

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.

I think you're confusing the natural progression of gear/levels to make MMORPG players keep striving to "level up" (and its consummate issues of player power) with expanded content, which is typically lateral growth rather than linear.

I think even if DRK would be the new tank to focus on self heals there are still other aspects of WAR that they could put more emphasize on to separate the two. For example put more focus on the high HP pool and make more mechanics revolve around that or the dps.

I also think due to storms eye and storms path they are a nice second tank to have around just because of that alone. Maybe they get more abilities that are beneficial for the group like War cry to increase raid dps, which could make war the dps tank while PLD would be the mitigation tank and DRK the drain tank.

Start another 99 threads about it and probs SE will actually implement it. No joke.
It happened a few times and it can happen again.

Or, they can give the current jobs little adjustments and very ineresting level 50+ abilities. Why would people only want the new jobs, it does not make any sense. You still need other jobs to do content with. They might as well be interesting too.

PS: What happened to capitals when you strart a sentence.

We should put bronies in concentration camps. Oh, about warriors? Too early to say. We have no idea what dark knights will even be like.

So you believe "bronies" should be killed like the jews doing the holocaust. You might as well say you enjoy being a terrorist and supported bombing 9/11. back on topic. Maybe the DK will not have any life steal leaving the warrior with the only class to life steal.

It's precisely why your thread is peculiar regarding the info we have now.

And in fact, Life Steal is far from being a mandatory Dark Knight skill.

Didn't Yoshi P say DRK is going to be a parry tank? Doesn't that mean that the PLD tanking spot is more likely to be in trouble instead of the WAR?

This thread makes no sense. Especially considering there's not enough information to assess what the class is even going to do in the first place. Maybe DRK DPS will be terrible and it will be a pure mitigation tank. Who knows.

PLD is a block and direct mitigation tank, not a parry tank.

that's PLD already.

I am seriously hoping that at least one of the dark knight weapon skins looks like or similar to Zack's Buster Sword in Crisis Core. Man I loved that game... As for the actual topic at had, I'm not sure that warriors need any buffing. Since DRK is at least stated to focus on parry and evasion, it seems unlikely they'll have comparable damage to a warrior. If anything, I'd assume the damage dealt would be between paladin's slow slog and warrior's face murdering.

I didn't say that PLD is a parry tank. Yes PLD is a mitigation tank.

You didn't understand the point I was trying to get across.
