Did my first grouping today. Did an hour or two on warrior and DL at skele camp. Between the two DL sustain is much better with on demand shields and lifetap. Warrior has better taunting (not single target lock though) better mobility, and maybe better damage? Not sure on that........................
Warrior just seems super gear dependent. The warrior I have, I was grouped with a DL and he would pull off me when I was pulling so I could go out and pull. Dudes in cloth/burlap something or others, anything that he could get to drop. He was tanking fine like that. Slim pickings when he leaves, so I get a warrior to do the same thing with roughly the same gear.... I had to put my shield on, pull and tank because he was just chewing through the healers mana.
So if I had to guess, the gear that was available, at the time it was implemented (For instance, Im pretty sure daggers delay got nerfed but w/e) - But at that time, the top end warrior was probably tested off the best gear.
-edit- Also, some of the skills are just.. lame. Like Shield Banner should just be an activatable aura / shout. Rageful Shout should just be an AOE taunt, and not a Taunt Refresh. Shield Block should last longer than 2 seconds (They want low APM, yet dont mind this hyper focused ability?...), Forward Swing takes into account your front position, so Mocking Blow should do the same from the back. But it doesnt, and since it doesnt - it doesnt make any sense to even use the ability.
Ive played so many different warrior classes that.. this one "seems" to have an idea of what its doing, but .. doesnt. I dont really get a strong "identity" from it, basically. But asking them to look at a functioning class while there is so much shit to do, likely not even remotely near the top of their playbook.
Parser was developed by Wilderness, one of the Faceless guys. I think it was leaked outside unless he shared it personally. It’s legit and works. Devs have surely seen it and haven’t said anything. Requires wireshark to work iirc.
Yea. Oddly enough a streamer told me all about it over tells. Some dude that's in his 30's killing in some ice place. I didnt hear anything about Faceless being involved. But thats neat that its a small world like that.
So, throwing in corpse summon early is good, throwing in coth would be bad.
This.. is probably the best rebuttal Ive seen to not having it. There is this weird.. I want to say thats the right word?.. Where I feel like this game is smacking your hand back from the cookie jar or something. You'll get fat if you eat the cookies kind of thing.

In other news - this is the first time Ive done Bandits in AVP from 9-11 on my warrior. Those bandits are social as fuck and packed into those camps like sardines. But once I got them split open, they were good exp. Monk tried to break it open the first time... But I guess he just didnt see the pats or something. Got Jorryns spear and the 2h hammer tonight. He seems to be a common spawn. Love his knock back. Kicked my ass the first couple of times until I learned what to interrupt and then it was all down hill.
