You have a mobile melee dps (slayer) and a pin-point melee dps (zerker). Where would warrior falls under if BlueHole makes it a pure dps class? ._. just wondering

On the character selection screen warrior difficulty is 5 stars.

May I suggest that if you are either freaking out or confused posting in this thread (hai most of you), maybe you should choose a nice firendly 1 star sorcerer instead.

Is there an official article/statement somewhere stating that warriors were moving towards a permanent dps role in Queen of Argon Part 2? I remember reading somewhere that they were actually going to strengthen its tanking role in the future.

PS: It be pretty bogus if they did decide to change warriors to dps, that'd go against the whooole selling point they've been making that they have a class with a unique tanking style that makes use of their action combat.


You are 100% correct. I'm honestly tired of how misinformed people are when it comes to warriors. They are currently tanks that are somewhat capable as DPS simply because they are DPS threat tanks. They rely mostly on high damage output for threat gain compared to a lancer. The recent addition of a combo system was added in the hopes of giving the warrior a more consistant source of threat. Also, it has been stated that there are more changes coming to the warrior to make them further viable tanks.

SOURCE: (https://forum.tera-europe.com/showthread.php?t=35365)

As also stated in the interview, BHS has definitely not given up on warrior tanks. In fact, the director tossed around the idea of some sort of "parry" mechanic/ability to further assist warriors.

As for warriors being pulled from the tank queue, my guess is that due to the difficulty of playing a warrior tank effectively, most players that queued were incapable of handling it, leading to unfinished dungeons. I'm sure once warriors get some love making the easier (ugh) they will be added back into the queue, or they will remain as they are and be a tank mostly for in-house groups while being a semi-decent DPS in randoms.

So, back on topic of the thread, no. Warriors do not need any buffs right now unless BHS is trying to turn them into DPS for random groups. Warriors are and will continue to be tanks until BHS or EME says otherwise.

As a warrior tank, I have absolutely no problems in my role and encourage everyone to try the class if you're looking for a challenge. There's nothing greater in TERA than that feel when your priest has been dead for a minute and you're still evading the boss like a pro :D


EDIT: What great timing! Added in a link to the source as was listed in the post a few above mine. Thanks!



Your whole post makes me laugh because right now in KTera warrior tanking hardmodes is way too difficult and warriors are actually wanted in groups because they out dps Archers and Zerks on bosses + give a damage bonus to party memebers and their shadow can take aggro/knock down the boss.

DPS warriors are wanted, tank warriors are not.

Warriors can tank for most things but some stuff it's just up to the lancer, they also make better dps than tanks, people will want you in a group, don't worry.

what does difficulty rating have to do with the DPS warriors do, getting rid of the hybrid tax, and buffing them?

My only concern and reason for creating this thread is the fact that warriors supposedly do 25% less DPS than every other class in any setting because they're hybrids and thereby suffer from the hybrid tax

It is possible to tank As a warrior you need to stack all Agro glyphs and counter measures. However this is worthless in pvp.

Warriors will have to change out glyphs alot more than any other class.

If anything they need a reduction on glyph prices to balance out the power. (Imo)


================================
Your better off by a long shot staying DPS.

have I ever said I want faceroll? I don't believe I did so please learn to read. All I've ever asked for/questioned is whether warriors will be buffed to middle of the pack in terms of DPS with the POTENTIAL to be top through skilled play since they are labeled as the most skill intensive class, and where the Hybrid tax will be for the NA version. I ask because the hybrid tax is a dated eastern concept that has no place in a western game because no one enjoys being forced to play a class they dislike or suffer always doing 25% less DPS because they want to enjoy the game

And to all the people complaining about in regards to how WoW and homogenization. Blizzard is top dog for a reason. One of those was the removal of the hybrid tax. it allowed players to play what they WANT and dint force them into any role because X did more DPS than Y. The balance also didnt get any more difficult. When I quit awhile ago and I think still even now each class has at least one spec that's within 5% of the median. That's balancing 20 specs.

TERA only has 8, not sure how difficult you guys think that would be. So yeah please tell me why I'm not allowed to play my warrior as a DPS without doing 25% less than every other DPS class? How would it hurt you to see me playing the class i like vs the class that does the most DPS?

(this may be a bump)

cos the guy that runs he game said so :p Wars are tanks not hybrids. Think of them as mobile tanks like the slayer is a mobile melee dps.

In retrospect, Wars (main tank) in old school EQ also tanked with dual wield not a shield.

Warriors, as of the Queen of Argon patch that Korea just got, now have a point based combo system. Some skills build up these points, others use them for increased damage and such. This is just one more step they're taking towards making the warrior more dps-oriented.




Last I heard they're still pretty suboptimal because of the hybrid tax. The main Ktera guy I watch said they're still like 25% worse than any other class


WARRIOS are hybrid class. They dont need any buffs. They are very viable DPS endgame, more prefered than archers.

warriors do very well endgame as dps
