Helloos I'm here! Venge - Level 40 Warrior Class Leader

Venge · 01-11-2007, 04:22 PM

Hellos! Lightning tricked me into thinking this was a female only party site..darn! But anyways, as in my topic, I am Venge in game (on beta server 1) as a level 40 Warrior and current class leader of the warriors. If you got any question about the warrior or what not, I guess you can respond here. I should know the answer...I know all...most of the time!

hihi,
Glad to see you around. So they say that each of the three protective warriors have their own types of situations to tank. So what our the mobs that warriors should be tanking?

And I made a post earlier regarding this. Brutal strike seems to add damage to the next melee attack if it is pressed right before a normal melee attack is timed to fall. However if it is pressed right after a timed normal melee attack, it becomes a totally seperate instant attack. Am I right to say that? At least this is what I have come to notice.

Trick?! I just happened to mention there were some elves hanging out here and you came running

Great to see you here Venge.

Well theoretically they have their own situations where they would shine the most. But all 3 tanks can tank in any situation. The warrior can shine in almost any mob fight because they are extremely versatile. Brutal Strike is an attack of its own. The description says it adds melee damage of xx. You add that damage to your current melee attack rating via your status screen.

it is an attack on its on.. But i noticed that if i keep pressing brutal strike, my normall attack will not seem to trigger(i.e no white color damage numbers), until I expended all my energy. Thats what makes me think it replaces the orignal melee attack. Gonna go in game and check on it more.

Hey Venge, 2 questions

1) Will you remain the Warrior rep through launch?

2) is the warrior still due a revamp / fine tuning or are we pretty well set as we are now?

Venge · 01-11-2007, 08:22 PM

As of right now, each class leader will remain as a represenative of their class if they choose to do so. So it's an option. Who knows!

The warrior is due a "revamp" but it isnt' a revamp, more of bug fixes and polishing, and boy after looking at our new abilities and fixed up skills. We're gonna be the hottest thing around...still :-p.

I think it could be that hitting a melee skill will reset the melee timer for a normal swing, thus if you spam the ability and the delay of your normal attack is longer than your recast, you may not be getting any normal swings in.

Can any one confirm this? I know this was true for Shadow Knights in EQ1 for a long time until they changed it so casting would hold our next attack in queue if it occurred during casting. It may be something that should be looked into.

Is it true that palladins have higher mitigation and hps then us? I heard that they get a single target and group mitigation buff while we get nothing.

Hiya Venge!! Thanks for stopping by. Ive been in beta for a little while now, but haven't done much adventuring, mostly just armorsmithing atm to get a feel for it. I just don't really wanna go much past lvl 10 warrior in the beta, and then have to go back and do it all over, I like it better when everything is shiny and new

So anyways, what I would like to know is- will we be restricted to sword and board like most other games? I don't have a problem with using a shield, but there have been times where I have wished that I could that greataxe, or dual flails and still be a legitimate tank. In many other games it always ends up that 2H or DW weapons seem to be a fun look, but not good for much beyond offtanking, soloing, or just trying to fill in as a DD in a group. Does VG make it so we can use 2H or DW weapons and still be able to tank, or will we be restricted to 1H and Shield when tanking?
