Genuine question, but do you think it is any different for other classes? With 22 expansions, that has to be a fuckload of ability bloat!

Explain to me the modern warrior. I still see them as cant solo shit bullshit class with like 2 abilities that get spammed.
I'd also be interested in hearing about rogues/monks.
Specifically if rogues ever got decent soloability.

Well, you'd have to talk to another person to get a better answer but I'd say no, the warrior has a lot more technically difficult bullshit to deal with than the average. This isn't real evidence of anything but here's my UI from last night:
Basically instead of Defensive stance that you can chain together, you have around 25 different abilities and items and things with different levels of stacking and usages. In many cases you can pop one set of them, then replace them with another set as each stacking type goes down.

Fair enough. That button count on your screen is pretty insane though!
I do have to say.. Agnostic Barbarian Warrior?? Rallos is most displeased! Fucking heathen!!
I think there was one encounter I can remember when we did use shields. One of those split your raid into 3 group types. This was oow, god or one of the later ones, they all kind of blended together after pop. Aggro generation wasn't an issue after everyone had eb weapons with augments and combat effects aa.

I see where all the EQ2 devs ended up. That looks not fun at all. I shouldn't have to have more than 2 bars in order to do whatever I want with a class.Well, you'd have to talk to another person to get a better answer but I'd say no, the warrior has a lot more technically difficult bullshit to deal with than the average.

Aye. Shields are super critical now. Using a shield puts you in a defensive stance which gives a ton of mitigation, and gives you access to skills like shield topple that help a lot.

Just rezzed. The Cazic Thule event spawns a massive amount of adds, it was my first kill but it was a big death-touch + add kite + dps burn shit show.

Yeah and I literally use all the abilities on 9 out of ten of my hotbars. It's pretty intense.
I remember the good old days when all a man needed to tank was two shrinks and a good corner.

Those were pretty lame days to MT though. It's much more fun now and the difference between a good and bad tank is massive compared to before.
