WARRIOR Tips & Tricks

[javid]

DPS is not WAR's job in a party.
...............

Leave DD to the DD's

I disagree with leaving DD for the dedicated DPS. Warrior is not designed like Paladin. We do Hit hard and a great Warrior can keep within 80%+ of a great DPS. Again think of a Speed run through Wanderer's Palace. IF you spend the whole time JUST tanking stuff (reallly only King Tonberry demands full tanking attention) you'll slow the run down. I've manage to do a 26 min run through the dungeon and that AFTER patch. And since there is a little more room for boasting I've also killed King Tonberry start to finish with a bard a white and me Warrior. Bard didn't kite anything he just straight zerk the HOT TWINKIE out of everything.

Paladin Party even with SWord's Oath won't finish a speed run as fast as a Warrior (if all stat's & skill are comparable ofcourse :P)

Absolutely and positively Wrong!


First off is:
/micon "Foresight"
/ac "Foresight" <me>
/wait 0.5
/ac "Featherfoot" <me>

/micon "Bloodbath"
/ac "Bloodbath" <me>
/wait 0.5
/ac "Berserk" <me>

/micon "Convalesence"
/ac "Convalesence" <me>
/wait 0.5
/ac "Vengeance" <me>

roate through these 3 buffs to have active damage mitigation on you around 30-40% of the fight.

The 2 panic buttons are as follows:

/micon "Infuriate"
/ac "Internal Releasae" <me>
/wait 0.7
/ac "Inner Beast" <t>
/wait 0.7
/ac "Infuriate" <me>

This gives you a minimum 35% chance to crit inner beast and immediately get 5 wrath back to help healing.

/micon "Thrill of Battle"
/ac "Thril of Battle" <me>
/wait 0.5
/ac "Second Wind" <me>

Yea Thx for the macro's. I don't like those combinations for my playing style but I do like the .5 waiting time; I didn't know worked!!!! So use to FFXI /wait 1 /wait 2

Another heavy hitter combo (Won't explain it )
Wrath 5
Heavy Swing, Maim, Storm's Eye
Unchained, Infuriate
Berserk, Internal Release
Mega-Potion of Strength

Now.... you'll have about 12 seconds before you start losing Buffs. that 12s/2.5= 6 HITS (Make them count )
You could out the gate go for Inner Beast, hope for a critical; or play it safe for more dmg over time and do one of your regular cycles.
I've hit the first Boss & last Boss in Wanderer's Palace for over 1100 dmg each with Inner Beast--and yes I got 3000+ Heal bk

Now ppl share your tips and tricks

Picking PLD instead is a great way to tank well.

Way to try and derail someone's attempt to be helpful and productive. This whole warrior inferiority cry fest is really getting old.

the reason he made this thread b/c of the reason he stated in the post.......Not everyone hates WAR...so help those that want to be helped... that has nothing to do with getting "shat on" ....


Anyways. Ran into another link by some guy that did an awesome job detailing loads of tips for tanking in general. it's a heavy read but you can always skip to the sections that matter to you. He has a General Tanking a Pld tanking then a War tanking. Do what suits you

OK.

Well I'm a WAR On Turn 4 Coil, and we almost have it down.

Got anything to say about that???
