Warrior

[Rios-Drakoon]

Noob.. there are high def gear that has "All classes" with str crit vit ect that in all rights is perfect for a warrior. But so far ive only seen lancers and pugs able to roll need for it.
That is what i wish to change. Warriors in higher end raids are NOT main tanks fool. there DPS/mob tanks. It is optional to NOT use agroo abilitys and crank out high dps as a warrior, if you didnt know that. im sure there not as great as a high end pug, but i know by grouping now that there in the top 3 dps at higher end raids. if geared right. but the issue is being able to obtain the right gear.

Dude, even IF you double your dmg, your Selfheal stil Sucks.

Bloodbath heals you about 40-80. StormsPath about 100-150.
Now Double this heal, but consider, alooooooooooot Defense like Parry will get lost.

Almost everything from Full STR to full VIT, or Crit, Speed, almost everything was Checked by the Community, and the Result was everytime the same... Warrior Selfheal SUCKS.

Try to read my Thread, there are some better Ideas. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/97965-Idea-for-Warriors

And beside.. if you want to write a Thread with more then 1000, "Send", "Edit" "continue to write"

So basically what you're saying is, you want to DPS but you can't because you pick a class that's considered a tank. Go level up Dragoon or something if that's the case. I need some brain bleach after reading this.

There's a 8man dungeon/raid called Manor? Did I miss something?

To the OP, you may want to take a look into the double-up'd gear for GLD, PLD, MAR, WAR that Armoursmiths can make. An HQ set not only gives a significant boost to your defenses, but they often come with a bevvy of offensive stats and will allow you to materia meld for even more DPS substats.

This game makes it very easy to be geared in the way you want to be if you want to spend the money or make a crafter friend.

That said, there are problems with the MAR self-heals. They don't scale enough to meet the demand of damage you're taking. As Rois above said, your heals are going to be limited (outside of Inner Beast when it doesn't bug). Either our self-heal percentages need to be increased, or our damage output needs to be upped. I personally think the former is the better option and it wouldn't even need to be raised by very much to make a difference.

well at his level i would crit that hard too

Basically why I know he's trolling. I'd be disappointed with a 200 crit on butchers block and I stack all VIT.

No, there isn't. Until about level 40, there is some gear that is labelled as GLA/PLD/MAR/WAR/LNC/DRG that is coded as "tank" gear and has high defense on it, but there isn't anything that's actually DPS gear that actually has decent defense on it. The only reason that it even has the LNC/DRG label on it is because there hasn't really been a differentiation between "scale" and "plate" armor. "Scale" has less defense and a *lot* less magic defense.

Of course, you're only level 30, so you wouldn't really have the experience to understand this. I find it even funnier that you're calling someone a "noob" when you've barely even gotten to WAR, much less gotten to the point where you would actually see gear that you seem to think you know about.

I also find it laughable that you seem to think that you do more damage than any class of your level. Unless you've only ever run with complete idiots, *any* of the DPS classes is going to completely blow you out of the water. WAR just doesn't have the traits and passive benefits that allow them to do as much damage as the true DPS. If you actually paid attention rather than just acting like you're doing more damage than anyone else, you'd recognize this. It's another one of those differences that only gets more obvious as you increase in level, which is where you show how *you* really have no idea what you're talking about, noob.

WOW this guy is so far off on what a warrior is its sad we need tank armor and some dps accessories get the TANK gear and crafted accessories and meld them with dps materia but no two ways about it you will be needing that tank gear at 50.
