Have warriors died?
Seafarer’s Rest EotM grinch
Couple of points:
1) just about every MMO forum (every class in most MMO’s) are full of extreme drama threads. for some reason players feel the need to make their class look extremely broke in order to garner Dev attention…even if they aren’t. Thus just about every thread discussing class performance is full of posts screaming that “our class is broke” “it’s horrible” “no one plays it anymore because it’s so awful” It really makes honest feedback difficult to get across. too many squeaky wheels and it’s hard to tell which one really needs oiling.
2) whatever you do. DO NOT be a FotM Player. your initial comment, “should i switch classes before it’s too late” stinks of FotM mentality. If you’ve played any MMO’s for any length of time, you will find that all classes get adjusted, tweaked, nerfed to the ground, and buffed into god-like OP status multiple times through their short lives as player classes. It’s almost like griping that winter is too cold and it needs to change or your going to leave…just wait a few months and the summer sun will warm you back up again.
3) you do have more then one toon slot. start 5 different classes and see which ones you enjoy the most. play them all. personally, my Guard was my first 80….but i have a ranger, Elementalist, thief…and just started a warrior. they are all fun in their own ways, and I play them all, so slowly they are all creeping towards 80. My Guard just got their first (I do enjoy the class).
**Note on #2- This one unchanging fact of MMO’s also means that if your favorite class is currently the underdog, they will eventually even out, or become en vogue again. just like winter…give it a bit of time…and things will warm back up again. see the game as a long term investment, not a race to the finish line, and you’ll be fine.
Warrior is one of the, if the not THE, best solo and support classes in the game IMO. Using a shout heal build at 80 makes you possibly the best solo class in the game. If 5 shout heal warriors did a dungeon it would be super easy. With berserker gear you can put out a hell of a lot of damage and healing/condition removal at the same time, with the right build. I can solo most champs with my warrior at 80.. takes ages to kill them but I can do it relatively safely.
