A Warrior Tanking Compendium?

[Kal-El]

Cross Class abilities I use at 50 -

Inner Release
Flash
Second Wind
Feather Foot
Convalescence

Some times I might stick in provoke instead of inner release if I need to. But I've found Inner Release to be a really good skill especially when using Inner Beast. Can sometimes crit for 2k HP with Berserk up!

Second wind is pretty weak and doesnt seem to be affected by convalescence.

Best advice I can give to new player picking MRD :

Treat your money as if it was your life. Do no teleporte, walk. Do not repair, throw your gear and use a lesser piece if you have to. Do not sell to an NPC this mat that cost 5 gil in the AH, sell it to a player.
This way, you'll have enough money to buy a titan carry since 99% of the /shout groups won't take you in.

I'd rather not do a dungeon than be carried through it. Might as well just buy an ebay account then.

I agree with this completely. I feel like the anti-WAR debate is all that are on these tanking forums and honestly... it seems to me that the we Warriors are perpetuating the issue. Just because we are not the Flavor of the Month does not mean that SE will not balance tanking for Warriors. I'm positive that they are aware that Warriors are getting the shaft in end game content. Now the other side of this coin is we may ultimately not like the changes that are made if they put a bandaid on it to appease the masses.

What if they decrease the difficulty for some of the raids to accommodate warriors as a quick fix? Would you be happy? Personally I would not. A good solution is going to take time and testing. In the meantime I will sit back, level my Warrior and then level a healing class.

Not trying get anybody's dander up just my .02.

Got 50 last night. Going to run AK quite a few times to grasp rotation concepts and such. There is a situation I am noticing, there are several chances to up your dps, but coming from a background in Paladin I am tempted not to. Fracture is such a long DOT, but I find myself still not putting it up. Early in the fight I find it safer to do 2 Block combos before I do a maim combo. Other oddities like that. On the warrior pull I do a butcher's block before doing a block combo to match what a paladin does when he spirit + scorns while leading into a halone combo. I need to get a hold of more veteran warriors to draw a conclusion. Currently I only speak to one and he's very good, but is also influenced by me quite a bit so that may skew the data.

Thank you for adding nothing constructive to the conversation.

There is no reason to take Warriors in endgame content over Paladins currently.

That's funny. I'll out tank you any day of the week. Let's see you do a 24 minute CM run with a paladin.

Second Wind is relative to attack power so if you have Berserk up it'll increase dramatically and if you use Inner Release you can Crit it for like 600Hp+ (getting this with Ifrit Axe)

Think it's a 30 second cool down so if you keep using it you get quite a bit of HP over a long boss fight.

Second wind is a 2 min CD so fucking useless stop making shit up KAl-El

and 600 hp every 2 min on a 7k+ hp tank yea right useless!
