Trying to decide which class to play between a Warrior and a Reaper which out of the 2 is more squishy? And is the warrior dps very far behind reaper if at all?

    War dps is way behind. Squishiness is similar. War is way more fun to play.

    Reaper's space-bar and aoe attacks make it have far higher dps than warriors. Both squishiness is alike, but reapers have more range and iframes, making it easier to dodge and avoid attacks. This means that reapers have a less chance of dying compared to warrior.

    Warrior has higher DPS than most think when played right, blade draw and scythe both hit pretty hard, but when it comes to def, war has quite a bit higher endur compared to reaps, war 78 base vs reaps 50 base, war also has dmg mit of 50% on torrent and 30% on rain of blows, glyphed at 65 you can roll 4 times in a row and if glyphed death from above has 7 sec CD, so if played to survive, and you learn the skills, they have high survivability, reapers do have range tho.

    Witht he latest glyph changes it's almost 5 rolls. And also, if things go really bad Warriors have the option to go Defensive Stance.

    Reapers have 3 iframes while warriors have 6 if you glyph the roll. How does a reaper have more iframes than a warrior? Warriors are great dps if played right just like any other class. They provided great offensive support with their leash and stuns in certain situations like DS uppers. Please don't give false information if you don't know the extent of the class itself. As far as defense goes, reapers are generally squishy but over the patches, they have gotten an endurance buff I believe cause their previous base was in the 30's.

    you can 4x roll>DFA>roll>backstab. so 7 there, then you can ToB>roll>DFA>roll right after. so really... we have 10 iframes + 1 50% mit in a row, provided you have something to hit with ToB.

    dont know why these people are talking bad about warrior, but i hear it a lot lately >.<

  • StarbuzzStarbuzz ✭✭✭
    Hah even better with the resolve regen hits. But I don't know either why there is a speculation that warriors are bad.
  • BlergBlerg ✭✭
    No need for speculation, warriors are bad dps compared to Reaper/Brawler/Gunner/Ninja. Even after the buffs in Ktera which puts everyone on a more level playing field, still pretty much the lowest dps of all, lower even than archer who can provide the same debuff we do.

    Its not like you cant clear content with it or anything, but Warrior is not in the best spot. Still way more fun to play than Reaper IMO. Also DS Uppers is not relevant to 99% of the playerbase so I wouldn't bring that into the argument.

    veliks mark only affects the archer, does not debuff for everyone. and i main warrior, my blade draw hits for 1-2 mil and resets ALOT, has 50% chance to reset CD, and my scythe hits for 3-7mil depending on the boss, and i am not counting stupid dmg like kerkion. but i am in starfall. i guarantee you played right, wars are not lacking in the dps department

    Yeah I'm a starfall warrior main too, and I know how to play my class. I've seen meter numbers for plenty of runs of all different compositions (they are easily available online on a certain website). Its not close. When both players are doing a good job, no old class is close to the new classes except for slayer. I'm not saying warrior is unplayable or anything, but our dps is pretty low compared to the new classes. It matters to some people, which is why i bring it up. Future balance changes will help somewhat but still leave warriors on the low end.

    Also the archer debuff in question is the one on ensaring trap or w/e, which is not shared with traverse cut and is worth the same amount.

    Reapers are definitely more squishy since they have much lower endurance compared to warriors. and whoever that said reapers have more iframes than warriors clearly doesn't play either class nor know anything about the two classes.

    A good warrior can still put up a good fight in dps. But a reaper will win in dps if it's equally skilled.
