Thread: Boycotting Warrior 4.0 (Let's do it!)

So many of warrior utilities are gone, Bloodbath, Storm's Path, Mercy Stroke (it healed me for a good 6000+ HP), Berserk nerfed to 30%, extremely high cost for switching stance.

What happened to the term quality over quantity? Now we are the Fell Cleave spam job for a lot of Fell Cleaves but less damage.

Yoshi san, I thought you said you are going to make tank and healer job more fun/interesting to play to keep the people play tank/healer, making this kind of change to warrior is not going to keep people like me play tank. I'm sure there are tanks out there so excited with the 6 x Fell Cleaves but there are also a large amount of players that are not impress with the changes that might as well kill off the Warrior identity entirely.

Sign if you share my concern.

Hasn't your mitigation since increased more, to a resultant likely hps/mps over a progression content fight, than your self-sustain has decreased? Given how strong heals are in this game, the increase to max eHP should be more advantageous than the self-sustain, even if it muddies identity.

Now, being some 20% behind PLD DPS, by latest tooltips' theorycrafting, on the other hand...

I started in 1.0 and pretty much mained LNC/DRG into ARR then from 2.1 to HW launch I played PLD almost exclusively. HW launch I leveled up PLD to 60 first, realized how broken it was and leveled up WAR to 60 and have been playing WAR since. I've been tanking a long time and now with all these nerfs it makes me not wanna play a tank anymore so I think I can finally put down the tank role and return to DPS main. My favorite job in FFXI was RDM so at least I got a DPS job I'm excited for, also chicken knife!

I'm the one that's dropping tank role and switching to DPS. Far easy and rewarding than tank. It's complex, fun and self sustain now with bloodbath.
I'm going to wait for the queues, no matter what, and if SE doesn't revamp tank role to be more rewarding I will just find a game that does!

Im up to you. They destroyed my favorite class. So i ll change my for sam maybe

I don't know about all of you, but what hurts me the most is the lack of flash. I love doing dungeons, and flash fills in the gap that WAR lacks, a spammable circular AoE to grab hate and bunch up trash. Overpower requires aiming and positioning. It's wonderful for when things are finally bunched up, but what about beforehand?

Not to mention overpower spam for leveling from 15 to 30 in dungeons and when you're severely undergeared compared to your dps. Lack of flash to help save on TP won't be game breaking but will hurt a bit.
