"The thing I really like about Warrior is how skill intensive it is defensively."
Yea I feel the exact same. A lot of the way their sustain works now allows me to enjoy the class way more even though their damage rotation is still kinda boring, albeit very improved.
i think that why warrior is so cool. It forces to you think less on your dps and think more on your survival
I actually just had the healer go full dps, and loved the speedrun.
Once Warrior, Forever Warrior. AXE was about Man's Romance.
Bloodwhetting Chaotic Cyclone and IR decimates heal so much in dungeons, even if holmgangs effect was switched for living dead, the warrior could still easily heal itself from living dead, it's that insanely powerful
Even before, War could heal out of living dead if holmgang was changed to that, its just a lot easier and more reliant now, which is a really good thing. I literally can't die in dungeons even without a healer, its impossible unless I mismanage cds
Doing dungeons as WAR is fking amazing, I went through the whole Endwalker MSQ with my friend on SGE, giving me Kardia procs and the occasional shield and THAT WAS IT. It's INSANE.
@@cosmosofinfinity I went through a STB dungeon on war with 3 dps and i only died once (because for some reason holmgang no work properly)
When your whole party dies to the last boss in a dungeon and you have to solo for 41%, warrior is there to carry.
that was me with the last trial XD
No bullshit!!
saame, kept a blm alive with me from a 50% boss since the redmage and sage I had fallen over. being able to heal and mit for party and self is so good. Or even in dungeon wall to wall, just throw a regen on me and I'm set.
I did this a few times in Shb lol
meanwhile my group spam just die/RESET you wasting our time ! feelsbadman...
Something that I don't think he covered in the video since it seemed to only be level 90 POV is that Raw Intuition now has the innate lifesteal that only Nascent had in Shb, which will probably be super useful in ultimates, as well as the new shake it off heal being below 80 so that will also factor into TEA
yea these things are amazing at lv 80. raw is even better now and the heal on shake is definitely noticable
"Potency shouldn't be tied to gap closers"
Me, a Ninja Main: Yes, please. Please deliver me from the Raiju lock.
I used to main RDM. Imagine potency tied to elusive jump.
Warrior is so well sustaining that I kept myself and my DRK ST alive from 80% to 50% of the last trial as everyone else had died, we kept it going until we couldnt make the dps check on the add. If that didnt exist we would have pulled through the LB3 stage and finished the fight, slowly but surely. Glad all patient WAR mains are finally getting something, guess we will have to enjoy it while it lasts.
I wish Confiteor worked like Primal Rend so you can't accidentally eat your last stack and lose out on the Confiteor combo.
Warrior: Here guys, sit on my shoulder and i'll carry us to victory!
Dark Knight: I NEED HELP NOTICE ME HEALER SENPAI
The animation for Orogeny is perfect, if you have a friend who is a Monk main and you get to say "that's not a punch, THIS is a punch!" whilst absolutely and quite embarrassingly drunk.
Love these tank videos. Brilliant editing and very very informative in a way you actually can understand
Hey strummer. I just wanted to say Thank you. I really enjoy your content! I came back to FF14 about a year ago and because of you i changed my main from Dps to Tank and now im a WAR main and never had more fun! I hope now in EW i can get more comfortable in EX trail so i can one day do Ultimates and tank them. Again Thank you mr strummer sir!
Excellent! I’ve been waiting for this one. Soon as I finish MSQ, warrior time!
Warrior in dungeon is stupid broken lol I love it upheaval was an uppercut too though so the animation humors me for the aoe one. My healers in the FC lose their minds when I tank because I don't need them at all
I've gotten roulette randos comment about how they don't have to hardly do anything in dungeons and how they love getting matched with WAR.
@@JackgarPrime for real, depending on party dps output I sometimes have like a 2 second window where I could either use a heal or I'll just holmgang during large pulls. Trials haven't been anything. Even if I have a vuln a get by with just their aoe heals on raid wides
@@LoliO. Honestly I don't think I've even needed to holmgang while doing the biggest pulls the dungeon allows. Just pop bloodwhetting, spam the aoe combo, pepper in the occasional primal rend or aoe haymaker and watch as my health bar just stays at full even when buried under a mountain of mobs.
@@JackgarPrime I've had a couple times, it's not regularly but sometimes there is a large amount of autos coming in before I can get bloodwhetting back up and I've already used thrill and equilibrium.
My usual is grab group one with rampart up as I run to group 2 and if needed 3. Once I have everyone I'll hit vengeance and I'm usually getting low so bloodwhetting.
Once vengeance is done I'll reprisal and arms, along with shake it off, when I drop below half I go thrill and equilibrium. Then depending on how autos are landing and if my dps is garbage I something holmgang for like a second or 2 before next bloodwhetting.
With a white mage it never happens. Holy spam is good damage mitigation 😂
@@LoliO. True, it turns out the best move a healer can make to do their job is to spam their aoe that also slows enemies down!
Warrior buffs still come from SE apologizing for Wars not being able to tank Spinner rooks and barely being able to tank Dreadnaughts in Coil 4. I still remember, SE. I'll NEVER forget.
Why couldn’t they? Lol
The thing about spinner rooks is that you're supposed to dodge pox by running through before the cast finishes. I did it when it was current content. The paladin held the dreadnaughts and I gathered up everything else as warrior including the rooks. TP management was literally the only issue there.
Me too 🤣
One of the things I dislike is that decimate still takes like three hours before it does damage.
Yeh big wumbo wind up
Warrior is by far my all time favorite tank. And xenos is right. With a few Tweeks , it will continue to be the tried and true one man army it use to be
I understand the inner release stacks being used with other gcd’s is annoying but do you think it’s some dumb reasoning to do with the knock back IR gives as you could hold stacks to have massive kb prevention times
That Warrior issue with removing stacks is also happening on Ninja, Reaper, and GNB, it is definitely some stupid coding issue. We need to make sure that they know this is a problem so that it's fixed. How can the same issue effect so many classes?
Bonkers. Keep strumming stummer!
SAM too. It's working as intended but your literal only ranged spell that's already dinky as fuck shouldn't consume those stacks. It's insanely frustrating just having to hold it and scuff my cd timings or consume the stacks and waste them. Lose/lose situations shouldn't happen, I should be able to craft a winning situation with smart play.
@@Salbeira EXACTLY! This is what I was saying to myself whilst watching the video. It's not some coding issue if it literally says in the description of the ability "guaranteeing that ALL attack are critical and direct hits"
What stacks does gnb have besides charges?
At least with IR the tooltip says it effects any attack that uses Beast Gauge but I think its bugged so that it effects every ability that has anything to do with beast gauge including filling the gauge.
@@zellfalcon31 The follow up attacks for continuation can be consumed by the basic GCD combo, however, this did not happen in ShB. This is very noticeable now that burst strike also has a continuation.
While it may be intentional for Warrior, most don't want it that way, but definitely is not intended for RPR, SAM, NIN, and GNB. Definitely something is funky.
Been looking forward to this since the first tank vid dropped
Whenever I get a good WAR as a healer for a dungeon roulette, I actually feel unneeded. Its ridiculous.
And that is very bad game design. They are going a little too nuts with tank cooldowns and it gets worse with each expansion. It's not that they are bad imo, but rather they need to get toned down quite a bit.
@@Jseitz81 Gunbreaker seems like a good compromise. Not too much like WAR/PLD, but not a steaming sack of shit like DRK.
WAR could do that in ShB and Stormblood too lmao.
You're not unneeded.
the DPS sometimes takes damage, right? And I can only Nascent Flash one of them at a time. ;)
@@1033515 I think the point is, that not one tank should have godemode healing. It is not good for the game. Idk why people actually think it would. And as a tank I can realize it.
Tank healing and the lack of incoming dmg has been a problem for a long time.
Nice video, Xems! Switched to WAR and I'm having the most fun atm =) great analysis
Been a War main since 1.0 myself and although Heavens War is still my favorite, I love EW War. Actually had a healer complaining that he didn't use a single gcd to heal me in the Thavnair Dungeon, feels so good.
And I would consider that broken. Warrior can be amazing and not have absolutely broken heals. As much as I like warrior, this needs to either be reworked or nerfed heavily.
@@Jseitz81 I don't think it needs it honestly, and I definitely don't think it will happen. It could...but let's be honest, WAR was capable of this ever since hitting level 78 in ShB, I've never needed heals in level 80 dungeons and expert runs and it never got touched, it actually was buffed so that I didn't even need a target for my Nascent.
That’s how you’re supposed to heal lol
@@Jseitz81 imagine balancing around dungeon lmao. I play drk btw
@@Jseitz81 depends if u are only thinking about dungeons then I don't see why u need to nerf it. Now the job actively wants u to finish content in either break neck speed to framing or u can just go slow, I would argue that most tanks have a similar opportunity to be as good as warrior when it comes to do content they may do it in there own way and it might not be as selfish as warrior to able to heal it self so forcefully (crit heal) but I don't see any issues with this tank at the moment, kinda happy with the changes but that just me. And it might be the new clutch god in raid.
I main War as well. I was super excited when I learned blood whetting because it is so so good! The skills are so satisfying to use all the time
1:09 so does the heal from Bloodwhetting crit if the attack that procs it crits? I never noticed it worked that way that's good to know
Not quite, I thought that was how it worked when expansion dropped but Bloodwhetting only seems to crit on Inner Chaos/Chaotic Cyclone and Primal Rend. It doesn't crit on Fell Cleaves under Inner Release, as an example.
BW heals are calculated as self heals that scale with your crit, but auto-CDH attacks like IC, CC, and Rend will ALWAYS make the BW heal on that attack crit
a good example is BW Rend/CC in a big pack, it's basically a Benediction because the self heal crits for 8.5k ish per enemy
I did one of the 90 dungeons as a sage with a friend on warrior. I told her I wouldn't cast any heals (outside of Kardia and Pneuma for damage) on trash pulls. It actually worked. No aoe mitigation (Kerachole for example), no Haima, nothing. Warrior is so damn broken.
She used Holmgang on the last pull before the second boss and just healed herself up to 40k within 3 seconds. I love it
Yea you can holmgang on one pull between every boss and heal yourself up to full when its about to expire... basically you cant die for like 40 seconds without even using any other defensives.
Finally. Been waiting for this.
I think the healing in bloodwhetting and the HoT on equilibrium are coded as trait effects keeping them from getting the healing boost.
I imagine your problem with not binding the inner release skills would go away if they fixed the stacks getting consumed by everything.
Could just get rid of berserk altogether if that's the reason it's weird in my opinion but then again how does primal rend get by not eating a stack?
It's probably because technically inner chaos "benefits" from the no cost of inner release whereas primal rend has no cost. Really at 80+ infuriate shouldn't give you beast gauge, it should just enable one use of those abilities and they should take the cost off of them.
I was a pretty rusty playing Sage the other day in a dungeon after focusing on nothing but MSQ with just Reaper and the Warrior I was running with was able to save itself 3 times by restoring it's own HP the second it was about to die.
I gave him my commendation. The man was legendary. And it also made me think to switch back and forth between Sage and Reaper so I don't get rusty slapping recovery spells after my shields break on a 2 to 3 pull mob and somehow wind up healing myself. 😂
how you do it that your character holds axe behind his head ?
Im New to the game i started playing WAR since September and it always felt so good to play with it, but now it´s just ridiculous
Was doing the second EW Ex the other day as healer, had a paladin and a warrior tank duo. Warrior said "I'm gonna Holmgang the tankbusters, no need to worry about me." This man would single handedly go down to 1 hp and heal himself back up to full in literally one or two gcds. It was insane.
I'd love to hear your opinion on dragoon and the stun loss for the sake of another stack but with not a strong potential
The video everyone been waiting for
that opening clip was word-for-word exactly my thoughts rofl. WAR is the best it's ever been, and it's fucking WILD right now.
WAR has been insane since 1.0 (man I miss the original Relic granting an extra 15 seconds of Vengeance, good times... Not to mention Mighty Strikes from 11. RIP.)
It's also the only job to have consistently been nerfed at the start of every single expansion, usually to keep its sustain in check (early HW was a bad time).
I'm kinda worried they might nerf it in the next balance pass instead of buffing DRK and GNB.
I genuinely believe warrior and paladin are also the devs favorites. I think they will buff the damage potency and leave them alone as they are. 🤣😂🤣😂
Is that a bc rich guitar I see back there or a warlock? And thanks for this I'm coming back to the game after 4 years so this is a big help
I was farming level 90 dungeons for gear, and every run I had the healers mention something like, "God I love healing warriors." I had one run with a scholar, where I used Holmgang 3 times during the run to pull mobs and self heal to full health while everyone else just did dps. They said at the end, this was the smoothest dungeon run they've ever done in FFXIV. War is busted xD
Not busted, lol working as intended 😁
@@JROCThaGreat for sure! And I love it!
Yep, as a healer it's pretty common to cast 0 GCD heals(on the tank at least) the entire dungeon with a warrior tank.
I keep forgetting about gcd’s using up IR stacks. I had to peel off the boss in P4N yesterday so I used tomahawk and lost a stack. Super annoying but still my favorite job
Definitely my favorite tank. Don't know how I feel about Primal Rend being an animation lock but you gotta use it properly lest you tank the floor instead of the boss
i normally dont like abilities that lock you in place however with rend you are given 30sec grace period so it is extremely flexible in that regard
@@XenosysVexYes. The fact that it allows us to plan out its usage is the main reason why I'm neutral to it. Nevertheless, WAR feels amazing to play overall. Solid job and solid video
Me and some FC mates have just been doing dungeons with 3 DPS and a WAR for leveling. He does full pulls and since there's three of us we just kill them fast enough for him to not die
Whats glam on axe, 🙏?
Warrior in Endwalker is the literally manifestation of the meme “literally to anger to die”
I must say that jumping in to WAR after Endwalker patch as my intro to tanking is going very, very well. I enjoy the rotation, I enjoy the sustain, and its self-healing capabilities tied to attacks is overwhelmingly commendable.
YES! THANK you, Xenos.
what act plugin are ya using?
I'm just coming back after a year long break, I left my war at 80, what's a good rotation you suggest for endwalker warrior?
"I've played warrior since 1.0"
Bro, you've been playing warrior since you had hair on top of your head
been a warrior main since 2.0 and iit feels great to be able to solo dungeons again
I used to love Drk in stormblood because in dungeons you could just perma self heal and it was awesome. In ShB they took it away and so I swapped to warrior because it had SOME self heals so it felt similar. These new EW changes to warrior is so close to stormblood drks self sustain it feels so good to play. Im a dps main but I love self sustaining tanks for casual content its awesome. Couldnt agree more with how aweskme warrior is right now.
@@zillahstar way worse than warrior.
WAR has Bloodwhetting, thrill of battle with a regen, nascent flash, equilibrium with a regen and a heal on shake it off, on top of your 123 combo heal.
DRK just has soul eater and abyssal drain on 1min. AD is practically useless on single target now that it shares a recast with carve
@@zillahstar true. But prior to EW you could weave AD on single target for an extra trickle of damage and healing.
Now you'll never want to do that since CS does more dps than before
the only disadvantage to taking 3 DPS to dungeons is that they might not live through multiple raid wides before I can heal them all, like the last boss of the 90 story dungeon
at that point just solo the boss, you dont need them
@@methalor8915 the point of taking 3 dps is to make the dungeon go faster. you soloing is doable but definately slower than taking 2 dps and a heal.
I think if they use their healing cool downs effectively you might be ok
@@never5930 this was pretty much my experience, BLM got first priority, then MCH/BRD, then SMN/RDM/DNC, and then melee, especially something like MNK/SAM with excellent active mitigation which is super tanky
@@darius8652 yes, but at the point the group wide aoes would kill someone, you've either not been using nascent flash or theyve been jumping into mechanics.
if done properly the boss will be low enough that yo ucan just finish it off in 1-2 mins tops
"You shouldn't be pepegaing yourself into the boss for damage" this killed me lmao
The bloodwhetting heal proccs multiple times per target hit. Feels kinda OP but it's so fun to use.
I'm new and I wish I had this guy's knowledge. I'd love to see him and developers chat it out.
Finally. Let's go.
I dropped drk which was my main since heavensward's release after seeing bloodwhetting... it's so fkn hot
Anyone got a source for EW opener? For warrior obvs
Doesn't it remove stacks because your skills crit direct hit even when they aren't Fell Cleave?
I love how berserk the warrior feels now. More unga bunga,more self-healing. We might get nerfed though coz the healing on these guys are insane.
I hope not but then again I thought they were gonna nerf us when warrior just had nascent flash
Considering they've said that they're gonna make encounters for healers to have more to do. It makes sense that all tanks have more self-sustain now. both PLD and GNB got some pretty decent self-sustain now. GNB 25 sec CD is almost on par with warriors. like what? 75% as good as warrior.
God I wish you where wrong, but why would they not? It's strong, and I'm over here healing teammates in raids through the use of Shake it Off. It's insane and I love it...
God I hope we're wrong.
I hope I'm wrong too
Warrior is still the only tank I haven’t played yet, but this makes me definitely want to give it a try for endwalker. Thanks!
Recently switched to WAR from DRK, and I will say that it feels much better, and unless they rework drk I'm not looking back.
You'll be shocked how easy it is.
I played paladin to lvl 74 until i decided to lvl up my DRK to lvl 68 and after that i switched to WAR and after lvling WAR up to 50 i started thinking that WAR is the reason why people pull wall to wall, since that playstyle fits that Job the best
@@soldierorsomething WAR has a bad habit of making people too fearless. I say this as WAR main. We don't care, just go in there and wreck shit.
Problem starts when I switch to other tank job but forget to switch my mentality.
@@hirokjyotideka5571 Facts. Doing dungeons as a WAR I feel like I'm one of the bosses let loose on the dungeon; and then I switch to DRK and every pull is scary, I feel so frail it sucks.
great and i changed from warrior to gunbreaker this patch^^
What glam you wearing?
The funny thing about AOE damage is that it even sometimes changes as you level. I was doing 70 level-sync'd content on bard when I realized that it was a dps gain to just use Quick Nock on 2 targets. From 76-81 it's equal to use Quick Nock and Burst Shot on two targets (procs aside). But for 82 and beyond it's a dps gain on two again since your Quick Nock gets upgraded to Landonsbite.
yea its really dumb imo. Like idc if aoe is a gain on 2+ or 3+. if it were up to me it would be 2+, however i think it should be consistent across the board on all jobs
@@XenosysVex So currently how is it for WAR? AoE at 2 or 3 targets?
So, the issue with Thrill of Battle is similar to Scholar's Dissipate in which it only buffs your Spell healing, e.g. Adlo/Succor, and does not buff your Aetherflow spenders like lustrate. Since the buff goes on you and using a weapon skill procs the effect, it doesn't count as a healing ability like Equillibrium does.
@@marcusaurelius4777 Yes, but all of those skills have a direct heal that comes from using that skill. What Im saying is that it prob isn't coded as a "healing ability" since you get the the effect after using a weapon skill
do you think the self heals might get nerfed?
WAR has always been one of my favorite tanks.
using WAR, it's abilities, grows me a beard and really, really large balls.
Inner Release is absolutely just modifiers on top of Berserk; you are definitely correct. The worst thing about playing warrior is when you end up in random content that syncs you to Berserk levels.
You sir are a chad and you speak with your chest keep up the great videos
As a healer, I love warriors because then I can just let my dps fly without worrying about the tank dying! Just occasionally throw a heal or regen or barrier or something and keeping baby nuking.
Thrill not affecting Bloodwhetting or Equilibrium HoT definitely sounds like a bug, but I don't expect it to be fixed.
If they want potency on the gapclosers make it so that it's from a buff from using a ranged attack like tomahawk. so 0 potency unless you lose potency by having to use tomahawk. just a thought.
i think IR triggers because it still guarantees a crit for normal gcds right? So in that way they need to re-code it so that the IR stacks only let your Fellcleaves crit.
Paladin has the same that clemency still removes Requiescat stacks, even tho it doesnt benefit from any potency anymore, but instead its the "instacast" part of the ability triggering when u use clemency
I miss tanking...i used to a couple years ago. Now my computer is a few years older and just trudging through ff14. I love this video though. Your take on things is very enlightening, entertaining and engaging.
Y'all notice how the inner release crit heal with blood whetting isn't there anymore?
I just did some testing; It seems the Inner Release charges don't trigger a crit heal. However, Inner Chaos/Chaotic Cyclone and Primal Rend do trigger crit heals. And by trigger I mean guaranteed. I went to Doma Castle where the first pull has like 10 mechs and 3 guys. Decimate during Inner Release had a mix of crits and non crit heals, whereas Primal Rend and Chaotic Cyclone had crit heals for all targets hit.
Whyyyy do they still refuse to integrate Surging Tempest into the beast gauge?
Next Expansion Villain "Pah, no pathetic ability you can use can let you win this time, Warrior of Light!"
"My toolkit has no pathetic abilities. But it got the unstoppable Exodia (Holmgang)!"
WAR is by far my favorite job as well. And yeah dungeons are ridiculous. The difference between a WAR dungeon and a DRK dungeon is ridiculous, playing WAR makes you feel immortal/unkillable.
I've been having an insane amount of fun on gnb in dungeons in EW matching dps damage but when you get a bad healer it really hurts as gnb. I'm very jealous of WAR's self sustain. All of the new/improved 25s defensives everybody got are also just top notch design.
I hope they don't nerf it because people complain about it being broken. It should not matter when it's about dungeon content. The ability is fine for other content. It's just when there is alot of trash mobs it gets insane. They should not balance things against dungeons.
@@MeldinX2 Agreed, if anything they should increase a bit of potency on some attacks, not super necessary and Paladin needs it more but it would be nice. Bloodwhetting is good but not busted in single target boss fights.
Oh and Holmgang in Heavensward, 8 years ago, got changed to how it works now ... so he's kinda cracked.
Bro, War is a straight up healer haha, I used it for MSQ cause I was scared of getting bad duty tanks, I was really impressed. It was simple and had no depth, but that's the way I feel it should be like. Bloodletting is broke.
Devs after watching this video:
"Hey, let's go buff Warrior again."
I’ve been WAR main since back when Maim was a DOT ability and the use of bloodbath. I’ve said the same thing about blood whetting, it’s basically bloodbath but for a tank. Too balance it we share it with nascent flash. It’s basically our TBN, it’s our identity. I just wish they’d give us back our high HP pools back in realm. Loved having 10k more hp then all other tanks 😂
This guy needs to be on Square Enix’s QA team. Very thorough!
Anyone know why he wants to be able to use Inner Release with Infuriate?
If you are about to cap stacks of Infuriate, but you are in IR, we want to be able to use it without wasting a stack of IR on chaos (since it already auto cdh)
it will allow for more skilled play. EX: you can sit on your nacsent chaos buff while still doing FC and save you IC for under raid buffs
Do you think it's possible to solo the normal mode EW trials as Warrior with how much self-sustain it has now?
They have too much HP for tank solo kill
with no enrage maybe yea? pld and gnb can also do this btw. war only seems more powerful than it is in dungeons. in a raid it is still really good but the gap between the other tanks is much smaller
Ran WAR in a dungeon for the first this expansion. Holy shit the sustain is crazy lol
7.0 I hope they remove the tanks gap closers by putting it in the role action for 3 charges. That way they can give tanks more unique attacks.
Bloodwhetting is just incredible. Say you w2w and communication with healer is on point: you arrive at the end, tap BW, live for the next 10 seconds basically, then let your hp drain till you're almost dead (which shouldn't take too long) then you just pop Holmgang, cannot die for another 10 seconds, and before it runs out BW comes back and you just instantly heal yourself to full again. Then you STILL have ToB + Equilibrium + regular mitigation. And during all of this your healer can dps freely without having to worry about you at all, maybe spend 1 or 2 ogcds and by then most pulls are usually dead. You have no excuse if you die, trials and raids are even LESS of a threat to you. Truly the tank of all tanks!
Warrior by far my fav my tank of EW and been my main for a while tho forgetting Stormblood, im still trying to decide if i prefer it to HW warr though
I love Orogany's animation. Just makes me think that standing in its way results in your skull getting crushed. WAR is crazy fun to play in all content. MT, OT... doesn't matter.
Raw Intuition got buffed with the healing 400 potency too so it got buffed for older content too.
having nascent flash available at level 56 is just fucking absurd lol
leveling WAR must be a treat
hes literally standing where my house is in the mist zone so its throwing me off cause i feel like hes hosting this video from my house lol
I wanna thank Xeno for teaching me about everything in ff14 that I know I've never played an mmo before and I'm committed to getting good enough to do savages and eventually ultimates. The people I play with wait til a mechanic pops up then scream "STACKS" at me until they die without explaining anything. But stuff like that hasn't happened since I started watching your videos.
I fully agree that gap closer should have 0 potency and 2 uses max. Now it's another skill rammed down on boss to score that extra minuscule damage it makes.
I don't agree though about upheaval getting taken off gauge being a good thing - we really don't need war getting even more dumb on damage side of things. Sure it does make things a tiny bit more rigid requiring some planning, but that would be a good thing imo.
Me, picking up WAR at 80: "Aw man, they changed Nascent Flash? Back to Raw Intuition I guess {sob} "
Me, after getting WAR To 82: {Aggros entire FATE, smashes Bloodwhetting button} "COME, BREAK YOUR WEAPONS UPON ME! AAAHAHAHAHA"
RI is still dungeon/AoE god mode. You just only get 3 GCDs worth of healing instead of 4. WARs turn into dungeon gods halfway through HW content lol.
As someone who played WAR up to level 50 back in 3.0 (because I started during Heavensward) before switching to DRK, and levelling up WAR back in Shadowbringers and seeing how fun it was there, I’m not upset at all switching from being a DRK main to a WAR main (hopefully for just the time being, as I do hope DRK gets reworked.)
Bloodwhetting is SO FUCKING GOOD. Compared to TBN, you actually FEEL Bloodwhetting put in some work. I’ve done big pulls in dungeons where my TBN barrier gets insta-broken, whereas with Bloodwhetting, I can just pop Chaotic Cyclone or Inner Released Decimate and not give two fucks about dying. Bloodwhetting has so much goddamn versatility as a CD it’s bonkers.
Unless some massive rework comes to DRK, I’ll be maining WAR for Endwalker. It’s so much fun in dungeons, and I’m hoping in raid content, once I’ve figured out the more minute and higher-skill aspects of certain skills, it’ll be good there too.
Bloodwhetting + Decimate feels like the old Bloodbath + Steel Cyclone. Soooo good.
Looks at Warrior's sustain. Cries in DRK.
WAR is just *chefs kiss*
I heard in patch crit heals guaranteed we're removed?
Nope still there
@@XenosysVex oh nice.
