Yoshi P talks about Warriors- from Producer Letter Live @ TGS

[HiirNoivl]

I prefer WAR MT and PLD Off tanks on both Ifrit and Garuda. I prefer WAR MT and WAR Off tank for Titan.

The reason is for the two WAR Titan set up: two WARs DPSing the heart make for an almost Guaranteed Shatter. No LB3 required.

Also, a WAR will be able to more easily maintain two DoTs on Titan as well as keep up the Storm's Eye more easily (one less thing I have to do. Storm's Eye does not stack.)

The effective hp of both tanks is practically identical. 2 Paladin is > Paladin+Warrior in any situation.

Hey just a suggestion, play the game. You are yet another forum theoryking.

Been playing the game, can't when i'm at work, and been enjoying my WAR and tanking on it while waiting on friends to finish up to 50 so we can start doing 8mans together. How is anything I said a theory? I think you might have that word confused.

I mean go on and continue to complain and muck up this forum akin to WoW's if you want, apparently the devs are able to function pretty well as WAR though so that either means:

1- they are lying.
2- you're worse at WAR then they are so you should probably improve.(which means they might need to tweak a few numbers for hp regen abilities then to make it slightly less skill based)

LOL just LOL

Please show me, with numbers, how I'm wrong.

Damage difference between warrior and pld is neglible. The optimal setup is 5 dps sch, whm and a pld. warriors require the slower more risky because longer fights increase chance of error triple heal strat or the warrior will die.

In what world you Play? Storm'sPath heals me for about 100 or 150, not more. CureI heals about 600-800.

The world where I'm completely caught up on dungeons for my level - and tanked and beat every boss but on one my first try with random pugs. You're doing this move every 6 seconds. OVER TIME it heals as much as cureI can be spammed OVER THE SAME TIME. My god, if there isn't a big shiny number you people can't see anything. I bet you think fracture is useless too.

That is very much incorrect. My first Titan win was two heals and I didn't even have as much gear as I do now.

BTW, I do think that a use needs to be found for Storm's Path. There's no circumstance where I would ever use it over Storm's Eye. I don't want to argue with you, Lhun, I'm just... right now focussing on maxing self heal through inner Beast.

I'm not sure why Storm's path is even there. It's not even a very powerful hit. =/

It could also mean that they simply feel the player base is in content they do not feel they should be in at this phase of the game. That is what mostly makes sense to me. I could see Yoshi sitting in an office thinking, "Well, they shouldn't be in Turn 5 with ANY tank. It would be ridiculous to buff warriors yet... We told them 3 months to complete Coil."

I will stick to my guns and say I do not believe for a minute that the best Dev warrior is better than the best player warrior.

The world where I'm completely caught up on dungeons for my level

we are talking about endgame, so

please stop.

and storm path heal no more than 120~150.
cure 1 should heal you for around 800+ with 5stacks of wrath.

[Lhun]

LOL just LOL

Also you are obviously incredibly bad at this game if you can't think beyond hurr durr hold hate and do nothing else during fights.
