Job Adjustment Manifesto - WarriorFollow

Vision

Damage dealers who use their brawn to continuously pummel foes with a barrage of physical damage, but also use their brains to adapt to the situation at hand.

We will certainly preserve the warrior's physical prowess, which makes it such an imposing damage dealer, but we also want to make it a more flexible attacker. We hope to accomplish through such means as adding abilities that modify weapon properties, making for more enemy-overpowering carnage.

Example Adjustments

• Adding new ability that would allow warriors to change a weapon's damage type (slashing/blunt/piercing) during combat.
• Adding a new ability that would ensure the next melee attack lands a critical hit.

Nice. Nothing huge, but nice.

Someone has to bring it up.

I miss the old guard. We used to have a real soul here in the war forums...lately it's been quiet as a mouse. Sucks. Where'd the talk of the booze and killing and randoms of the day go?

One good thing about modern times is you can do stuff for the lulz and get the same/more accomplished than when you were srs biznzz.

Something needs to happen. I've got a question I've been meaning to post forever, but I don't think I'll get any real response. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

My favorite part of Warrior was the simplicity of the concept. Do damage. That's all there was to it. You do damage to kill things as fast as possible, and you do damage to make sure something pays attention to you to keep it from hitting someone else. Tanking and dealing damage intertwined. If I were still playing, and we didn't get Retaliation and weren't up for this proposed ability I'd still be happy to be main Warrior. Of course, and don't get me wrong, Retaliation is awesome (on paper for me, of course), and the few times you need Piercing or Blunt this new ability will be great as well, but it doesn't change the job. Just makes it sweeter.

Simple job to get into, not super difficult to figure out, and enough finesse to master. The job was right straight out of the box. The additions are just icing.

Retaliation fits perfectly with WAR philosophy. It's not even close to a defensive move. It just makes you getting thwacked very enjoyable and can be abused to kick the snot out of mobs with multiple, weak attacks that piss off shadow users.

I leveled WAR over other DDs like DRG, MNK, DRK because all the mainjob WARs on the game and on this forum seemed so chill with everything while other DDs always had to prove everything to anyone within earshot. The job makes me wish I had spent less time mucking around with mages and cut straight to the WAR chase a few years earlier so I could have been one of those guys instead of just someone who has WAR as yet another 90.

Magnifique!!!

My first job wasn't a thief..oh that was such a relief. Nor was it a monk..or even a mage who uses his club to bonk.

Heavens no ..a ranger? I don't like being far away from danger. A ninja... a paladin..or even a wee dark knight. Those certainly don't signify might.

What was it you ask? It twas a warrior.. it is nothing but the best. All the mobs in the zone.. they know they're going to rest. A Great Axe.. does not simply enhance you..oh no..not nothing more in the least. It does that and more..to turn one into a beast!

To the mobs who dare to ruin our day...to you this I shall say..hey hey ho ho ...a here we go.. we shall come to you to SLAY!

Warriors= awesome nuff said lol

Anywho to be on topic... I rather like that they're staying with the simple concept of " Warrior do damage..Warrior do lots of damage".

Haha, good point. Although I'll take the low road and say our berserk state is due to too much mead.

Why do you think we called this place the Mead Hall?

The second one, duh.

Oh, I've had a mead sword since day one.

Damn, I seriously miss this game sometimes. Out of all the games I've been playing, noting can quite recreate the feeling of going on a rampage as a FFXI Monk or Warrior.

And I know you guys have missed me! Or at least the ones who've been around long enough to know who the @#%^ I am.

You mean this one? Because I never quite feel right without it.

Yoruichi from Bleach in her cat form.

One of these days I'm going to make myself log in, if only for a little bit. Just to poke around a little and smash things the way I used to.

Of course to do that I'll have to undergo the arduous task of reinstalling the entire game from scratch... does it still take forever and a day to download and install the updates?

I think I'll have to look into doing that. Until then I should make it a point to visit here more often while pretending I never said I was going to visit more often several times before in the past. It's not really a lie if I don't remember promising it!

Sometimes I think about it, but then my little one punches my leg. Not sure where she gets the violent tendencies from ...

I'm always sad when I come to the meadhall and see.... nothing of interest. I blame vlor (mostly because I can)



And this is why my first two jobs were mnk and war. Smashing sh*t is fun.



I take pride in the fact that I leveled my warrior using a gaxe from 37+ (I got it to 37 as a sub and hated every minute of that, because I was trying to war/nin back in '05, before knowledge of the epicness of shieldbreak was widespread), long before the 2h update. I also take pride in the fact that for some bizarre reason, in 90% of my exp parties on warrior up til level 70 or so, I was the puller...



You and I are very much alike, sir, and I respect you for that.

...I like this kid. My opinion of the Newblood has been improved.



There's nothing emotionally pent up behind going berserk. Warriors go berserk because smashing faces is fun, and going berserk means smashing more faces and smashing them harder. There's no logical reason for a warrior not to go berserk.



What a waste of good Mead.... There are only two things mead should be used for. Drinking, and Drinking to make one into a Mead Shield.
