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

I'm in for the boycott as well. What they did to all jobs is not "revamping", it's plain butchering.
I was a war tank since HW and I was an overexcited fanboy untill I logged and saw what they did.

...it's ugly, and we're only talking about war here, don't forget the others crippled.

I logged in this morning and it was terrible, my poor warrior... I was most upset at loosing fracture... I cross classed that on everything I could when I started . No more flash as well? Terrible! I saw there was some other AoE skill like provoke but some nice flash spams were always nice in a pinch. And what the heck is with the skill buttons changing from different stances? I like haveing them as separate buttons, let me have that option. Between this and DRG I just could not even and logged out. SMN/SCH looked like most of the buttons were still there, I will just ply those till this gets sorted out... Although I have since read about problems on those classes as well since I gave up.... I'm just gonna play Zelda until they sort this whole mess out lol

PLD keep Flash, DRK got Unleash, WAR have to cone position which have much smaller area.

So, you can have the WAR as MT, and PLD/DRK can easily take adds

I'm about 50/50 with the changes, but i still do strongly believe that Square's so called "balancing" of the three tanks really needs to be looked over again.

So equilibrium remains the same, in 3.0 it was 1 of those skill that "blue icon dps" praised warrior for being almost no tp issue whatsoever. For all 3 tanks Paladin is still the tanks with tp issue, no tp generation/tp mitigation ( war's equilibrium and drk's blood weapon).

And don't say Pld can spam holy spirit to regen tp, that's only natural regen, with 6x fc war does the same spam without consuming tp.

I tried the new warrior, it does feel more tanky compared to 3.0. Why so negative?

Drks should be complaining about the changes, but from what I see only aggressive tanks are unhappy, all pro turtle style ( all tanks) they look fine

I appear to be one of the few here that doesn't actually view what they did as "ruining" anything.

We gained substantial mitigation, and the beast gauge + 66 trait actually give us a huge amount of uptime on Inner Beast when tanking. Assuming you're using it intelligently you'll be able to have 20% damage reduction, minimum, for literally every conceivable tankbuster and a huge chunk of the fight otherwise. We lost Bloodbath, but... eh. In most respects I feel like these changes put us pretty much on par with paladins for MT capability. Our OT DPS may have dropped some, although it's hard to tell. I don't really understand the doom and gloom.

blah blah blah too long sorry.

You realize that 90% of the community couldn't care less about the bleeding edge late game content right? Most of use queue with pugs, or derp around on dailies with friends/run fates. Warrior was utterly gutted for all of that content. It's sad when my first thought upon seeing a fate is now "let me swap over to anything but warrior cause I'd just be useless."
