Pld buff or War nerf in 1.22?

[Cichy]

Listen up Yoshi. If you nerf warrior it will do nothing but make people abandon the job like they previously did with marauder. Yet again, everyone will switch to BLM and ARC which will get us back in the same boat we were before.
I dont get why cant you just buff PLD so it has some more HP and it takes lot less damage than WAR.
Reconsider your WAR nerf!

I like what they're doing to WAR. It's not an outright simple nerf. Buffing the DD side of it, cuz nobody uses Berserk lol. Simply fixing Steel Cyclone, which is lolwhatbroken, and idk what they'll do to Collude.

I'm sorry for going off-topic.

Maybe one of the japanese experts can answer this. I can't get it out of my mind now.

Yoshi's english version of this post here uses the word "nerf" and I'm wondering if they use that as a loan word in japanese or if they have their own slang for the term.

「できる限りの下方修正は行わない」という方針で、これまで調整を実施/検討してきましたが、
戦士に関しては「敵視が安定し、広範囲に高いダメージが出せ、防御力が高い」と、
あまりにも高性能化してしまったため、一部下方修正が発生します。
この点については、本当に申し訳ありません。

Translated by Rein:

'The direction is to "try as much as possible to not make downgrade changes" and we have been looking/making adjustments but for Warrior the hate is optimal, at same time can deal high damage and has high defense, it became too strong so parts of it will be down graded. For this one I am really sorry.'

So they say "Downgrade" instead of "Nerf".

And to be fair, they are downgrading a minor thing, fixing one WS that is clearly broken, and boosting WARs DD capabilities. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me.

Thanks Yoshida-san, I may actually enjoy playing MRD/WAR again.

I just realized he says 1.22b... not 1.22a... abit disappointing imo. Would like to play my PLD But I guess it is nice to know that its coming.

They're probably going to see how well the new shield adjustments work, and incorporate the new stats in depending on how well received/useful the shield adjustments turn out to be.

As Noctus said nothing major is gonna happen to WAR, probably just get some more enmity adjustments and lower defense in exchange for better DPS.

Follow up... to the majority of Aces posts.

To Ace:

I just want to point out, you've been very contradicting about your arguments that PLD isn't broken and your capabilities. You've stated alot of "why bother documenting or show you guys anything you wont believe me," yet many have posted documented evidence that's backed up by a majority of the community contradicting your claims, yet you outright dispute it without proof of your own.

The only thing I could truly agree on with you is IT DOES function as intended, but it's only strength which is defense is severely lacking. The rest of what you say really make's it hard to accept you have any concept of how the game mechanics truly work other than you just saying that "I'm right and your wrong you stupid n00b."
