Can we get an F for weapon builds?

there’s a balancing team?

As a warrior as good as the stat boost is, I do gotta admit, relative to other classes that get whole new abilities, the warrior awakening does feel kinda lame. Sure objectively its pretty great and possibly better than a lot of the cooler abilities, but a general stat increase isn’t very exciting compared to putting fire on your sword, fists, or legs, or getting a whole other magic with all its unique traits and stats that might even bounce off your other magic letting you pull off some cool moves. Warrior awakening just doesn’t have the same fun factor. Though to it’s credit pvp does become a lot more fun once you have it.

light conj but less speed for better dmg and synergies. overall, eh, needs certain weapons to make real use out of it.

they arent devs.

wait I thought it was more speed?

I’m not okay with putting my fists or legs on fire

unless they absolutely shit on light imbues speed, it is indeed faster.

Its definitely more fun in the videogame than in real life I’ll tell you that much

me personally lightning is better than light overall bec damage while light is just blinding and faster but for lightning u have paralzyed

lightning imbue requires a sunken sword or sailor style to really shine, whilst light sort of just works on everything imo. the self-syn with blinding also helps make up for the dmg difference.

I have sunken sword and tempered stormcaller works good

best sunken sword enchant?

hybrid weapons builds will benefit incredibly from nimbus anyways since they’ll get access to crushing judgement, flying phoenix on sunken sword and every unrealeased move that requires 170 in weapons (if the max level actually ends up being 150)

yo you haven’t been on since last yr

why is this a surprise

because every other stat got them

It’s the fact that every other class archetype got exclusive items that makes the decision strange

this is a fair reply, cant really argue with it
although, ravenna weapons still have the same skills as their iron counterparts atm, knights/warlords can use them, and conjs can even imbue them to make them stronger

i admit i did forget about triasta, although imo its not really good atm, it literally only has one attack with tiny aoe and a super long cooldown (oh, and a grab…which is ok ig)
do people really use siren bow for its skills? i thought its only use was its m1, which any class can use, further making warrior less useful

atlantean weapons - rapier, greatsword, bow, mace, shield, spear, cutlass
rapier, greatsword, bow, shield, and cutlass already have lesser quality counterparts any hybrid can use, same skills and everything
mace is warrior only, with a unique slow debuff, but it sucks, i forgot it even existed
atlantean spear sparrow thrust is an okay move

im aware they also increased the stat requirement for vindicator (and other rare weapons i think?) for the new update, which will prevent hybrids from using them, but im p sure at some point they will be able to use them, hopefully by then warrior gets some unreleased moves added to actually make them different from other weapon builds

just to clarify because others have commented on it:
im not saying warrior’s awakening is bad, but its rather boring. the awakenings for other classes open up an entire new way to play the game (mage - 2nd magic, strength - 2nd fighting style, hybrid - imbue) while warrior gets a small stat boost; ofc its not bad, its essentially free stats, but it is undeniably…boring… nothing about the class changes, you are just slightly stronger

minor nitpick: i said “devs” because there are other people that influence the balancing decisions in this game :nerd_face: probably not the correct word to use but oh well

there wouldnt be a point to exclusive weapon build items beside drip, if we go from the basis that exclusive items are balanced with other non exclusive items
plus i dont see why weapon weebs would want yet
another thing they have to get randomly, when they already have so many weapons to begin with

the good ol days. it hasnt changed in game. the 33% skill size and 10% extra damage was pretty broken. Now warrior is pretty balanced stat build

we all know weapons SUCK and that magic is also TERRIBLE and what the hell is a ‘‘strength path’’ ? VITALITY IS THE NEW META VITALITY RULES SPIRIT WEAPONS ARE THE BEST, RISE WARDENS WE’LL COOK EVERY OTHER CLASS
