Warriors: Are they unfixable?

Zass · 09-02-2003, 03:19 PM

I posted this thought in another thread but as I have been thinking about it even more I still can not come up with any answers so I decided to start a new thread.

How do warriors get fixed without trivializing any content?

If their HP/AC/Damage Mitigation gets buffed so many group and raid encounters get trivalized unless all said encounters also get buffed.

If their taunt gets buffed then so much of the game becomes so much easier for all other classes as they all can do alot more damage without aggroing the mob. Again this trivalizes content.

Do all other classes need to get nerfed?

I can not come up with a good solution. Any suggestions?

Warrior's are totally fixable, with any number of interesting suggestions posted here and at the Steel Warrior, PoN and ShadowKnight.org Sony either doesn't give a shit, or believes that things are balanced.

My money is on doesn't give a shit. The better solutions are generally harder to implement, and all of them are harder to balance than spells.

New (and more effective) taunt skill that only works on EXP mobs. Either flag raid mobs immune or make it level based. There are many other ways to do it, this is as good as any.

Why make another thread for this?

The warrior only topic for balancing has its own thread. However, I don't think this board has had a 'fix pure melee' thread yet. Now all we need is some hybrid/caster to come here and tell us melee are balanced.
