Wait a sec... Let me get this straight...

[SirThesd]

SE alters WAR's abilities instead of buffing PLD (cus most pld's are whiney babies...)
THEN SE gives us a Weapon with +emnity while PLD gets +Refresh...

WHAT THE FLYING FU-*Cough* "Frack" SE! you want us to tank on not!

PLD needed a buff, instead they altered war, now... as a DRG I shouldn't be able to take hate from a Paladin/Warrior with an attack and a weapon skill, lets forget about a combo for now.

*Huff*

Right, clearly SE are taking advice from the players, and the players have the nerve to say SE hates the community... The "community" we have clearly doesn't like anyone outside of their friends lists or Linkshells.

Anyone else wanna vent? thats what the topics here for...
Enjoy.

What abilities did they nerf on war?

[Molly_Millions]

They didn't nerf WAR, they changed it. They reduced the range of steel cyclone but made it cost half the TP (not a nerf). For PLD, riot blade and goring blade were buffed.

Steel Cyclone didn't get a range reduction. Just overall damage dealt to each target while using it was reduced. Right now, my first two attacks in the combo chain do more damage to a single target than Steel Cyclone does, but it's not designed to be focused on a single target, afterall.

[Hachi-Roku]

They did nerf the emnity gained from Collusion, and changed the rate at which the Rampage attack speed/parry (previously attack speed/power, but it's a lateral move and not a nerf I would say) decayed. They also reduced the amount of damage granted to Steel Cyclone from Rampage. These are nerfs.

changed any reference to Nerf with Alter in the original post,

fair enough they got a buff to Riot blade and goring blade... but its not enough from what i've seen, that and it doesent seem like a major boost to Pre-50, at L30~ as a Dragoon i shouldn't be able to take hate away from the tank, or i was stuck with terrible tanks... not sure... (random example)

I actually disagree with this bit. As a DD you absolutely should be able to pull hate off a tank! Hate management is everyone's job, not just the PLD/WAR, and a DD who doesn't manage their hate generation should suffer the consequences. Otherwise why even bother giving them abilities? Just invite one to a party and voila, no one else magically gets attacked anymore!

DD's blowing their load early, pulling hate and dying are bad DD's, that's not the tanks fault. (I'm not implying that you are a bad DD or tank, but universally calling tanks bad because a DD ripped hate off them is categorically unfair.)

[Molly_Millions]

terrible tanks. I can tank fairly well on PLD, and we have a couple truly exceptional PLD tanks in my LS.

[Taggerung5]

Thank you Kalien! couldn't agree more. DD's who call the tank bad because they drop 4 combos' in the first 5 seconds and rip hate, is just bad business. Hate management is just as much part of all the dd's job too, including AoE happy blm's who pop before the mobs even look at the tank lol
