The more I look at the Warrior skills, stats, gear, etc, the more I feel this class is gimped...big time.
Someone please tell me I am wrong... and why, because I'm starting to feel like I should just switch to another class.
![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
Reason:
1. Dex gives Defence. This helps with 'avoidance'. Warr just gets Damage Mitigation skills like Prot Stance and Enduring. Meaning, we still need a healthy HP pool because we are more of a big giant soaky soaky sponge....period.
2. Looking through the Shale vendor, Warrior armor has the highest...er...armor. So is the price. Da frak!? It's Warr specific, we NEED armor since we're designed that way and its MORE EXPENSIVE!?! Just because the armor value is higher doesnt justify it being more expensive. The armor value being high is because its in our crappy design!
3. Armor again...so having the strongest armor value gear... it comes with another drawback...WEIGHT. The higher your weight intake, the lower your mana pool goes. So you suffer more as you wear heavier armor. Probably 3-4 Pummels and you're out of energy unless you have regen gear. Unless you start off and buy plat for the regen lux gear... levelling a Warr sux big time.
4. Energy... really? Refer to #3 above. Our armor and weight are squeezes nutz...thus affect Energy.... thus affecting our ability to use skills...thus making us inefficient....thus some end up pumping focus...thus resulting in lower vit or str...thus becoming a crappy weird stat Warr.
I know I am probably going to get flamed for this but I seriously feel the Warr class could have been better designed. As of right now, completely and utterly out of balance. Way, way, way out. Doesn't even feel like I'm playing a Warrior. More like some Peasant Class with a plastic sword and poking very slowly at things and then spend 70% of the time, resting and regenerating because I used Giant Swing more than once in a fight.
Hell, my alt is a Ranger and I heard they were nerfed recently, but heck, feels really good. Smooth. Flexible. Much Much MUUUCCCHH MORE BALANCED than a Warr imo.
Seriously, OTM... I just spend $$ on plat cause I think this game is really nice. But dont make me regret it please.
