Warriors On Strike

*****READ ENTIRE POSTING HERE, FIRST BEFORE POSTING!!! TIRED OF PEOPLE ARGUING SAME THING DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN.... OUR POINT IS SIMPLE!!!!*****

I am trying to organize a warrior strike, they nerfed all out awsome shields that were -2 dmg and made them -2 dmg against physical dmg, of which all our armor is bassed off of!!! all dmg reduction, shields, knights armor, absorbsion runes all are just against physical dmg!!!!

lets see how bad this is.... i run -7 dmg vs everything, or i did that is.... now, only vs physical dmg.... my base armor is 80 armor each piece and each piece has + 20 armor vs physical.... nothing offered for elemental resistance....

Any warrior will agree, eles, necros, and what not, doing spikes always are warriors biggest threats....

Rangers have spirits that turn physical dmg into ele dmg... nothen for vice versa....

now, ppl r going to say, -7 dmg isnt that much, ok, u get 5 ppl (eles) hitting u with 20 dmg each... or each doing 13 dmg from reduction that isnt available now, they hit u 5 times each... 500 dmg or 325 dmg, that measly little -7 realy adds up???..... GOOD BYE TANKING!

I recommend
1 - make some dmg reduction vs elemental dmg
2 - they change it out to the way it was
3 - they make a low eng spirit that turns all elemental dmg into physical dmg....
4 - give warriors an option to change out armor at no expense
5 - make absorbsion rune available for all classes

I, we, us, whatever are not asking for a ROLL BACK... I understand kights armor (even though it was out for 13 months untill changed) should have never been global damage reduction... what we are asking is this....

1 - why do we have no armor that reduces elemental dmg?
2 - why would they change absorbtion runes and shields to only negate physical dmg?
3 - why would the absorbsion rune, while only available for warriors, only absorb dmg on the area it is located on, and only physical dmg at that!?
4 - an option for people with knights armor and ascalon armor to exchange it for other armor

Alot of people are saying warriors are most deadly person on battle field... WRONG! the team is the most deadly on battle field, and each member of that team has a job.... warrios can inflict dmg, noone is saying they cant, but so can every other class out there!! THERE IS NO CLASS IN THE GAME THAT CANNOT DEAL DMG, OR EQUAL DMG TO A WARRIOR IF BUILD RIGHT!!! And anyone with a clue knows this!!!! and anyone can with a clue will tell you how easy a warrior has always been to shut down, every class has the power to do it, EVERY CLASS....
examples:
Blind - means we do no dmg! wow, what a concept... (eles and rangers)
Wards - dmg reduction and such (eles)
Pacify - means we stand there and look dumb (monk)
Mesmer - way to many skills to list that all are very effective
Necro - alot of skills also, like mesmer

WE ARE NOT saying that now warriors are useless, we are not saying that we have nothing to do at all in a battle, we are saying that we just got a major kick in the pants!

This is like taking all the wands, offhands, and all the staves and taking the 10% or 20% skills recharge off them all.... wont ruin you skills, or your build, but makes life a whole lot harder! But then again, if it was all of them, that would be equal... this is like taking them all from one class of charicter, like just the monks.


And some of us feel we need it to be made right... I AM NOT SAYING ALL OUR INVESTED MONIES BACK! But, there should be amor against ele dmg, people with knights armor and ascalon armor should beable to exchange it for armor they want now. Absorbsion runes realy need to be adjusted, as well as shields.... There should be a customizer npc who can change ur -2 dmg physical to -2 dmg ele or something.


Not a single person on any forum ever called warrios dmg reduction over powering before this, now suddenly, alot of people feel it was. Or atleast none I could find.


What is most frustrating about this, is alot of ppl whispering me, saying, oh is this why i die so easy now, and such....

SPREAD THE WORD!

im up for the strike

Oh man, if all the warriors went on strike, it would be hilarious. I'm up for it btw.

Sigh, Monk strike, Warrior strike, idling nonsense.

Congrations,

Update - Friday July 14

* Added a new collector in Snake Dance, just outside Camp Rankor. This collector exchanges the Carapace Shields given out by Hagnon Warblade that were incorrectly modified by the last update. Shield dye color is unaffected by this exchange.
* Fixed a bug in the Assassin Moebius Strike skill. It no longer recharges itself.

Ahahah.

I have a W/Me however as a War I can not support this strike at all. I am gonna learn to deal with the new armor fixes. I suggest every other War does too.

Where has this thread made reference to the CCS?
What are you talking about :[????
He is talking about how shields -damage only works on physical damage instead of all damages.

But yes, this nerf was uncalled for and unloved by all warriors.
Seriously it took them a year to change the damage reduction on shields to physical wtf is anet doing over there?

While they're at it they should just change it so all damage is physical and screw everyone :]

LOL. while im not as bitter as most people are, i do realize that damage reduction is pretty useless in PvP now.... i mean heck! ""Oh Noes! -7 reduce vs other warriors!"" Woo-freakin-hoo. If another warrior is going for another warrior first, he don't belong there in the first place.

Its funny, now warriors have no real defense other then high AL, which in many cases is completely ignored. LOL. I think Anet just did this to shut up all the other whiners about the supposed "overpowered" warrior issue, which wasn't an issue.

Didn't your mamma ever tell you, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all?" Anyways.. your mom was right.. and no one wants to hear it.

Tomcruisejr, here's my reply to the below post: Balco found the Ele's and they are looking mighty strong.. as if they weren't strong enough.. -(Balco is a steroid company which provided steroids for many famous baseball players.)

Killmur: W/Me .. Blackout Warrior? Nice build.. *giggle*

the update was not to weaken the warrior but to buff the elementalist.

Actually I am speaking the truth. Since this update all Wars have turned into little babies. Plain and simple.

Elementalists are not the only characters who deal non physical damage, so yes this update hurt warriors quite a bit.

I totally support a warrior strike. After all, the bad warriors will be on strike, thus won't end up in my PUG's, and the good warriorrs won't be on strike. The good warriors will be able to deal with the changes to their class and will benefit my team. If a warrior can quickly adapt to the situation he will be just as valuable as he was before the update.

Warriors unite! Strike!

uuuum here's an idea: get over it. it happened, it's done with. i seriously doubt that they are going to revert the update. so why don't you guys and girls just keep on playing like you usually would and not strike, it's immature and pointless to go on strike. Besides, you wouldn't get anything out of it except for some mad people and some uncompleted missions.

/signed for the strike

but im at work now will be home and on tonight tho

/signed

you know its funny its the 4rth petition i sign today...
shouldnt that say something to anet?

and yeah the nerf was uncalled for...

You obviously obviously didn't hear about the monk strike which ended in Gaile Grey coming in and straightening everything out, ending IWAY and adding new greens for monks. So IMO it all ended up well for monks.. I think strikes will help get the point out to Anet faster..

Its not a warrior nerf btw. Its a Elementalist Buff.

I lost my pet to a bug. And now it looks like they are annoying a whole lot more with this nerf.

I cant help thinking tho, its a nerf. They are untitled to do it. Still kinda seemed pointless to me. /unsigned cos i havent made my mind up.

It certainly should if they are watching the forums like they say they do. ;]

Oh yes, /signed.

My thoughts exactly.

I say no warriors joins a group untill are demands are meet. BTW what are all are demands?

guys just stop playing as warrior for a week and dont participate in pvp at all
just being "on strike" wont cut it...

Warriors already get tons of armor to begin with. Stop crying like a baby because your wammo takes 5 more damage everytime you get him by fireball and go back to playing the game already.

yeah well y'all can say what you want, i have a warrior, and i think it's a waste of time to strike. so to all you warriors that are striking, while you guys are striking, i'll be going to imperial sanctum.

Scoff all you want, MF runs or ran a W/Me which is an Expel Hexes sword warrior. Don't poke fun at builds that are halfway decent and are by far better than must builds being run by wars in the pvp world.

On the related note, seeing warriors go on strike would be great(no more iway) not to mention the numerous stance tanks that plague AB would vanish. I am not in favor of this strike though because I don't feel it is yet justified even though I am a warrior also dealing with these new "nerfs"

Anet should and will get the hint with enough ppl actually speak out about how much this hurt the warriors instead balancing the PVP world or even PVE for that matter. Also if you think about it, it is going to hurt the MONK's energy also. Us as monks have to heal the warriors for an extra amount of healing so they live. If you have ppl like Ecksor who does not think that ppl's opinions matter in this game you are seriously are mistaken. Speak up and tell Anet how you feel and this will get fixed may be not tomorrow but when the monks went on strike they got what they wanted......IWAY nerfed.



My feelings on this is to balance warriors, Warriors dont go very often toe to toe with another warrior WITH OUT some other caster using a spell on him also.


another suggestion is IF YOU DONT PLAY A WARRIOR THEN SHUT UP DONT POST.... you are obviously are clueless on how a warrior takes dmg and it shows in you postings.

ill second that...

ill third that

Warrior strike ... hahaha. You people are such a bunch of whiners, warrior still have the best armor in the game, so what exactly is the problem? You just can't kill everything solo anymore???

hey is any one in the game right now? is there anyone joining?


<<<< stuck at work but i'm with you in spirit.

I have a warrior, and think this is the silliest idea since.... well, I'm not sure.

/no strike, learn to adapt.

So what your saying is the term should be changed from TANK to STATION WAGON...

now we can be killed solo by practically every class with noobs skills that involve an elemental mod or spell

The only way this could possibly be any more hilarious is if this was an Assassin's strike.

On this note, IWAY War LFG!

warriors soloing is of the past mainly.... monk and necro soloing is the thing now.... if u played the game u might know this!!!!!

Its more then just "warrior not taking dmg" its warriors take more dmg = no tanking = monk healing more = party structure has big flaw in it....!!!!

That is my argument... what good is a warrior if they cant take alot of dmg... look at the skills we have... enduring pain, stances, shouts, we r made to " take dmg " end of story, and now, we are still expected to take damage, but we only take alot less dmg....

and the armor argument.... no we have disadvantages.... 80 base dmg +20 vs physical, i would gladly trade that for a rangers armor 70 base dmg +20 vs ele.... NO WARRIOR (who has a clue) RUSHES ANOTHER WARRIOR!!!!

we are just asking for it to be returned back, or such.... everyone says adapt... here i will addapt, make some armor that is +20 vs ele, or a shield that is -2 dmg vs elemental..... and i would shut up right here and now...

and when i say make, how about changing our current -2 vs physical into -2 vs elemental.... so that we dont have to scrap what we have and start over.... again....

warriors are the rodney dangerfields of gw we just can't get any respect

yes we will adapt...

like stop playing a warrior altogether

Then why don't you just use the now ohhh so overpowered elemental damage mod on your axe and fight back?
