Endwalker Warrior Looks Great

[ForteNightshade]

Onslaught on charges is great. I can write a novel on why there's no dps loss for not burning all charges all the time...

Please enlighten us then because guess what, GNB, PLD and DRK burn their gap closes under raid buffs. Why would WAR be any different now? The only scenario you'd ever hold one is if you knew of upcoming downtime and it saves you a GCD loss. Which is, once again, the same restrictions the other tanks have.

In terms of skill you need for war in endwalker I think it got downgraded a bit. But skill wise it’s pretty much the best main tank that will always gonna be picked. Having 6200 heal potency every minute and that’s without thrill and storms path, and that makes war effectively a damage strong increase for healer, even with all the ogcd you have you still sometimes need to gcd heal a war. But here comes the problem for healers a war as main tank and a pld as off tank make them effectively 2 button jobs. I mean both even have small party heals now.

I don't really like how little they added to the core combat loop, but I'll manage. Bloodwhetting and the buffs so Shake it Off and Equilibrium are more than enough to make the job more fun.

At least in the media tour, Bloodwhetting/Nascent Flash triggers for each target hit, so AoE healing is still busted--maybe even better since the floor is raised considerably while the current ceiling is massive overkill.

I actually just saw a clip and was coming here to correct my post.

There has been some napkin math done on r/ffxivdiscussion that shows Bloodwhetting being a gain over current Nascent in every scenario. Which is utterly absurd if it turns out accurate.

That post uses Endwalker Media Tour potency numbers (as well as Endwalker IR mechanics), so it's not accurate to say that it's always a gain over what WAR is currently capable of in Shadowbringers.

They also changed all potency scaling right?
It may end up being less or about equal in the end, until we're able to play with it

Looking at the tooltips I assume NF is basically just a support tool in EW, used solely to heal a party member, grant them mitigation and a shield. Bloodwhetting on the other hand can't even be used on someone else and is simply another defensive cooldown for yourself, they're not really competing with each other since the choice is binary.

Need mitigation and healing for yourself? Use Bloodwhetting. Need mitigation and healing for a party member? Use Nascent Flash.

That's what it sounds like. The healing from BW replaced healing from the NF we'll no longer have access to.
