Will Warriors ever get any LOVE?

[melwynne]

All the contents prior to ENDGAME is manageable, Aggro Management is Good. Surviving damage at ENDGAME and making life for healers manageable = err?

Here are the few bad points I have noticed as well as a few suggestions for the JOB:

1. Defiance buffs HP but it lowers the damage output too much that Lifestealing moves (Our source of Mitigation) gets gimped too hard. How about adjusting the damage reduction a little bit?

2. Bloodbath is awesome and all but it is just not enough at the moment especially with Defiance on. My idea for this is to either increase HP absorption and slightly increase CD or lower CD but keep absorption as is.

3. Wrath Stacks and Inner Beast. Maybe if Warriors can use Inner Beast at 3 Stacks of Wrath but with effect and higher effect at 5 stacks. To me inner beast is a good lifesteal mitigating skill. But with us having to wait 18-20 second to activate it kinda makes the point...moot.

My honest opinion is that WAR is gimped period. 1.0 WAR was simply put: better, much better.

This 2.0 WAR is a joke and I'm in agreement with you that the WAR class needs a serious revamping.

What are talking about? I love my Warrior plenty!

Joking aside, what exactly is wrong with Warriors?

Nothing, just people who dont know how to theory craft or get the best out of a class if it's not written on reddit or any other forum/helpsite.
Seen a few warriors with 0 problem handling aggro, sustaining more then fine, and still manage to throw between 120-150 dps off.

Warrior is a very potent solo job.
As for grouping, either make it as good as PLD, or give it treasure hunter trait...
It suffers mainly from the comparaison with PLD. If PLD weren't there, then I suppose people would just say high end dungeons are as hard as they should be, and wouldn't be farming the coil already.

im loving WAR so far lv36

if you got problem throwing off DPS

allocate your points on STR you DPS higher + parry a lot

sadly PLD while it look potent but i didnt like it for some reason but that doesnt mean i wont lv50 it maybe because im lv31 by it?

[melwynne]

It is not the DPS that is the problem. You will all know this once you reach endgame.

Original poster said Warrior is fine prior to ENDGAME. Level 36 is not endgame. I LOVE mine, I LOVE the style, it rocked for levelling. For ENDGAME when I do the maths and compare it to Paladin, I feel I need to apologise for bringing my warrior to things like HM Garuda and HM Titan. I will wait to get more gear before I do that, but I feel like I am doing a disservice to my party. I want to respec again though and try a more strength focus stat allocation (it's what I had before I hit 50, then I changed it), as I don't feel like a little extra HP helps at all. Plus most gear at end game for tanks doesn't have much strength, determination or crit on it.

WAR solo is fine and WAR in groups don't care about DPS per se. It's a more global issue with being hit harder and being harder to heal.
