Thread: Warrior 6.0 Wishlist

I don't even see a reason to argue for more dps on warrior as long as it keeps it's current defensive kit. I mean sure, if we want to redesign it entirely to have less self sustain and less mitigation than all the other tanks we can then talk about increasing it's damage, but not until that happens.


The only real problem I have with warrior is that it's a one-trick pony, you do your IR every 90 seconds which "feels" impactful but then you sit in the corner of boredom for 90 seconds doing your 1-2-4, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-4 spam while trying to not fall asleep.

Even if you increased warrior potencies to make it the nr.1 dps tank it would still be an absolute snoozefest in terms of gameplay, and that's is what we need to look at, it's incredibly unengaging gameplay loop.

That's part of the problem, WAR shouldn't have been made into one of the better defense tanks. But at least the other tanks somewhat benefited from it by getting their 30% cds reduced.

Personally I'm fine with GNB being top damage dealer, they feel like the weakest of the 3 defensively to me. IMO they should take the block effect off Passage and just have it reduce damage so that it could be used either as a light personal cd (+/- sheltron) or group damage reduction if necessary, but I'm not that familiar with current PLD/DRK intricacies. Shield boy seems like it should be the most defensive.

For WAR, I'd probably be alright losing Thrill. I like using it but seems like we could get by without. I'm also fine with current IR/downtime windows, fits the theme quite well. And in a game where pretty much anybody could rightly complain about RNG it's nice to have a momentary respite from it.
