Oh god my sides...

Wait let me think about it again...

Oh, oh I'm dying of laughter here!

Coming from someone that mains a warrior this is about the stupidest idea ever. I mean seriously a block? With two swords? Against some massive attack? LOL.

I'm sorry I just had to post my opinion on this (even though I've been hearing about it since like beta or something... well at least for a while now).

I mean wouldn't something like this be better and at least make a little more sense?

Glancing Blow:
Use the twin blades to redirect the force of impact from an enemy attack. You take 50% less damage while using this skill, and the enemy is turned to face 90 degrees from the direction they were facing.
(This skill would be used sort of as a block, but with a slight twist. It can't be held down and must be used at the same time as an enemy attack in order to work. Same time meaning within a certain time frame, example: within +-1 second. So, it would have to be timed). It would also cancel out of any other action being performed instantly.



While were at it, staggering counter still doesn't make sense to me; for a class that is supposed to be evasive, why are we rewarded for being hit? Here is my suggestion for a twist on Staggering Counter:

Staggering Counter:
Change it from a reactive skill to a preemptive skill. When you see a skill or ability about to be used, you use Staggering Counter to interrupt that skill. It would have the same effects as the current in game version, it would just change when and how it is used a bit. Seems to make more sense for a class that is all about not getting hit...

The changing dodge from a cool down to a stamina use skill is a good idea if it is done right, guess we'll have to wait and see.

Anyways, thoughts about the upcoming changes? For warriors in particular, since I believe the only other major change is that Lancers are getting a back step or something.

Because warriors are made to be able to respond to anything that could possibly happen to them >.>

Giving block is one of the reason they would be allowed to tank.
Its not the only, but atleast one idea to allow them tank. Imagine them without a block skill and they would go tank role, about 90% would painly suck [filtered] and thus every1 would hate having a warrior tank in team.
I only had 1 "good" warrior tank in our team out of about 10 runs. I dont wanna risk a run with warriors
I welcome that block, giving more warriors the chance to succesfully tank

Guys, youre feeding a troll. Just leave it be.

From begining I always repeat - warrior need buff.
But block is silly idea. Buff for warrior should buff his max HP, endurance, balance to not getting KD every hit and maybe shorter CD on evasive skills. But block will simply destroy gameplay as this class. That is evasive tank / DPS. It should not have block.

Same to lancer - give them skill what allow to jump out is same stupid idea as block for warriors. Heavy armor user should not jump as rabbit on battlefield.

I have nothing to Imagine. I do like tank as warrior as it is created right now.

What is with all these assumptions that Warrior's block will be on par with Lancer's block? Assuming BH knows how their game plays, Warrior's block will be for trash mobs.

Also, your example of blocking a huge monster's attacks seeming stupid is irrelevant. Why would the pole part of an axe or a shield wielded by a character 1/10th the size of the monster that is attacking make any difference?

Troll? How? I left some constructive feedback/ideas, most people on this forum don't go anywhere close to that far; now THOSE are the trolls.

I suggested an alternative to an actual block, if anyone actually bothered to read beyond my laughter at the idea of warriors "blocking."

I mean, heck even another dodge like say a "Sidestep" would be better and make more sense than a solid blocking skill.

Also, if they added a slight knock back with the use of Battle Cry could help with mobs quite a bit (since warriors tend to get overwhelmed if surrounded by a mob, especially in dungeons, when they are the designated "tank").

I'm just posting some of the ideas that I brainstorm (since I seem to do it whether I am trying or not...) whether or not they are actual used is against the point, considering how often devs in localized games actually do anything. I have hundreds, if not thousands, of ideas just for this game alone already brainstormed and noted, for future reference, as I plan to work in game design after I finish school (that or work on A.I. or something lol).

That is not important. Issue here is class design and gameplay. If block will be implement - game mechanics will force warriors to use it. I do like warrior as it is - evasion tank. If someone want tank by block - lancer is for it. It will destroy realy fun class to play.

The new warrior block is exactly like the lancers block. But when you use it, it uses up the new stamina bar. So if a warrior spams that block they will be out of stamina very quickly.

Here is a video demonstration

Tell me, how is Warrior going to dodge all those trash mobs attacks?
