No one tank on Warriors anymore?

Cannot find any updated guides on warrior tanking this year at all. Does that mean hardly anything has changed? or has everyone givin up?

    Nothing has really changed for warrior tanking, except maybe some glyphs due to glyph point changes, but you should be able to figure that out yourself. I tried tanking on my vm4+15 warrior against a vm6+15 slayer yesterday lol. I'm leveling a Brawler and I can say Brawler definitely outclasses warrior, plus I've had my fair share of having to share edge with warriors.

    Oh I still do tank (sshm now). Just gotta find few friends that won't really care that much that they don't have brawler. Same goes for other obsoleted tanks.

    Other than that it's obviously not optimal. But that's not warrior's issue or lancer's or zerk's - it's brainded, misdesigned and absolutely most broken class up to date called brawler that is the issue. Whether it's about their ridiculous dps output, autoblock or other releated issues (galloping power/crit creep, removed threat gear).

    I read that BHS has plans on making warrior a bit more satisfying to play overall, so there may be changes to tank warrior in the future assuming they go with the promises they've been stating. Other than that, currently, I never see Warrior tank at all other than for the 1st part of DF.

    BHS says many things....

    Been playing warrior tank for years and now I feel more of a burden doing little to no dps while tanking compared to my brawler. It's a hell of a lot more fun than brawler tanking that's for sure.
  • Im playing warrior tank for my guild but yeah its not that OP as brawler tho. needs more damage :(
  • I kinda knew what the responses would be, but I still had to see it for myself.

    Well as I said not much has changed. That's why there doesn't need to be a new guide.

    All warrior tank needs is a damage buff for people to play them tbh. I'd honestly say I like tanking on warrior better because warrior has way better mobility.
  • I have warrior tanks as my second main but atm I'm running them through quests to get some cash, fodder and achievements.
    Plus the added fact that usually people tend to get all doom and gloom that over the fact that the tank is a warrior :cry:

    God Tier : brawler

    viable tier : Lancer

    Delete pls tier: warrior, berserk

    I try to from time to time since I Tanked on a Warrior from Release, issue is every time I do I want to walk away from TERA. Now that people are using DPS meter I can see how badly they compare to other tank classes. Warrior Tank will need some love, till then I just keep being that bad tank in group bring 4 other people down to a sub par level of crappiness.

    Why not Play a Brawler?

    -My main has been a Warrior for four years, not easily put to the side for a flavor of the month
    -It is shallow but their outfits look like some 5th grader designed them or the Dev team got drunk one night, they just look pathetic in comparission to what was already in game
    -Their stance, seriously looks like some one shoved an Elin up there back side. Who even thinks that looks appealing?
    -Castanic>Human
    -Game Play, can't get over the fact a Tank does move Dam than a DPS class
    -To OP in PvE and PvP, ruins what TERA was for me


    Why not play a Lancer?
    -Backstep Iframe is the only reason, Just not used to the timing of it in hard modes and fighting myself to get used to it.


    Ideas to improve Warrior?

    First off firmly believed Warriors should of gotten skills that worked like blocks, call them something crazy like Parries.

    -Torrent of Blows Parries/Block
    -Pounce when used the next skill Parries attacks
    -Blade Draw when used after a block Crits 100 percent of the time or instead of the Bladedraw glyph just increase its base crit rate
    -Edge is no longer stacked on target but becomes an resource much like other classes as a Warrior can build momentum off several targets to land a massive attack on one, working around the idea of a Blade Dance

    What hell no this will break Warriors in PvP, um PvP is broken already by OP classes also you can make these skills only work in PvE

    I don;t know, just semi depressed at how easy SShm is on a Brawler compared to a Warrior tank and simply no way I am going to play that class

    Zerk tanks and war tanks are pretty dead as far as general play goes. The good ones still will for their own parties. We still shine for the first boss of DFHM keep that sorc away like a beast. haha

    God no. I like having to actually block when I need to block, thanks. Warriors don't need to be made faceroll like brawlers - it's bad enough that they made Wallop autoblock for lancers.

    @thread - War tank is pretty much only useful for first boss in DF, as Ultemecia said. You can try tanking something yourself, but I can guarantee you that it won't go well, unless you're running with idoneal DPS or people that are AFK. Tanking is just pure hell on war atm, and despite the endless aggro % buffs they keep giving war tank, they still can't hold aggro with DPS gear like they could before. The damage is just that bad.

    You could roll full aggro to actually hold it, but then your miniscule DPS would become even more pitiful, and you're basically dead weight. Even with a damage buff, there's no reason to take a wartank over a brawler or lancer. Lancer has a nice power buff, and is getting an even stronger party buff. Brawler has the second highest DPS in the game even after several nerfs, and is faceroll to play since as long as GF is up, you only have to dodge unblockable attacks.

    A damage buff by itself will make warriors able to tank, but it still won't make them wanted. BHS clearly has no clue how to make them viable again since all they've done is slap more aggro on top of aggro on top of aggro. Which means nothing without damage.

    If you do not make them on par as brawler then why even have them?

    They do not bring party buffs

    They do half the dam of a Brawler who keeps GF up

    A Priest can just kite the first boss in DFhm as well much like they did in the old days in MChm allowing all DPS to bburn the boss


    They are broken

    Wars where mitigation/evasive tanks, we used to be able to pounce>RoB and Torrent through Dam but it became standard to just block. Block should of stayed Lancer unique in my opinion and parry/mitigation/evasion should of been improved on instead of the lazy hey lets just give them a block. Now War tanks are stuck behind it as Brawlers and Lancers took the roll or Parry and Miigation tanks

    What makes a class wanted is the abiltiy of it to be fun to play. Right now Warrior tanks are not fun because they leave you with the feeling you are letting your friends down. They give you the feeling of being trash compared to others. Even if you are a 1 percentile player, which I am not, some one with less experience can do more than you on a Brawler. That destroyed a class people have enjoyed for four years.

    I'm honestly not quite sure what your point was of that nonsensical rant, because you pretty much agreed with me, but you don't have to make warriors autoblock like brawlers to put them "on par." That's just ludicrous.
