Warrior Changes--What Are You Thinking EME?

Seriously EME... What on earth were you thinking when you wrote those up? I can already tank with ease on my warrior right now. I have a little trouble with the lancer boss in Fane, but beyond that, tanking is an absolute breeze. With these new changes, I am literally going to be able to tank normal modes by blocking with my face. I doubt I'll even need to bother dodging. It's a [filtered] joke-- an absolute [filtered] joke. The buffs to "allow" warriors to tank are far, far overboard.

EDIT: My warrior is wearing full nexus gear. Tanking as a warrior is already easy. This just makes it an absolute joke. It's almost offensive.

Warriors were supposed to be the main tanks, that's why! Lancers are just people with shields I guess.

Problem is most people suck on a warrior, so they had to buff them for the bad people, so they could queue as a tank.

<.< I didn't see the warrior block mentioned, so I think this is a temporary fix to appease the LFD Q.Q babies.

Warriors can already main tank. They're already amazing tanks. Hell, some people argue that they are better than lancers right now. The problem is the absolutely retarded IMS buff. It is taking it way, WAY overboard. A warrior with modest gear probably won't even need to bother dodging. Did they do no internal testing on this? Who could have thought this was reasonable?

Not everyone tanks on their warrior.

EVERYONE IS complaining about long wait times for instances. This is to alleviate the issue at hand. Stop complaining. The changes are for the greater good not the few that KNOW what they are doing. IF you have a static which you probably do, this does not effect you one bit.

Why start a new QQ thread. 40 of them that way... >

It's a band aid solution it's not going to stay this way.
It's just them trying to get match making on track 'in the meantime'
As I seriously doubt anyone here is going to argue lfd is a nightmare of waiting, and hoping, and long hours, and tears, and bitter soul sucking disappointment, and screaming, and kicks, and class elitism based on ?, and miserable people on the forums complaining endlessly, and long conversations about ilvl's that really have nothing to do with running a normal mode fane I've done it with this player 4 times before and you are sitting there telling me they can't survive it in their gear you stu...

ahem..
yes then carry on.

Honstly this has more to do with the 6 other classes waiting to get an instance POP... majority of the population plays some DPS class.

I never said they couldn't main tank, but originally Lancer's skills were built around tanking whereas Warriors skills were shared 50/50 between tanking and DPS. It's easier (or was) to hold a boss in place as a Lancer than it was for a Warrior.

These changes are NOT for the greater good. Do you have any idea how f'ing ridiculous 70% endurance is? Do you have any comprehension of how broken that is? This patch is going to turn warrior tanking into "stand in one spot and smash your face into your keyboard". This isn't hyperbole. Warriors will literally be able to tank without bothering to dodge.

The above relates to how terrible the "band-aide argument" is too. The second they remove this beyond broken buff, a ton of the warrior will no longer be able to tank because their face won't be able to absorb mass amounts of damage. So there goes your increased pool of tanks!

This is the worst possible solution EME could have reached. The patch is insulting to someone who already is a warrior tank.

-.-

Dps want to run instances. The fix for that is months off. This is a quick fix while they work on it. They even made it so it only applies to instances to stop the PvP QQ that was bound to happen. About the only "bad" thing is some [filtered] Dps group kicking lancers for a "warrior" tank. Not all of them are going to do this, and most are going to be happy if they get -any- tank.

Stop crying because you don't understand their tempoary fix.
