Absorption is, and has always been, global.

I'm pretty sure it's only the -2, -3... etc reduction that counts for only physical damage; you still get your 16 armor.

I think he meant global as in 'all classes'

Yeah, losing that -2, -3, -5 damage is really gonna break the game for you, and if it actually does, you suck at being a warrior.

and again it's the damage reducing bonuses that were swicthed to vs. Physical damage only, not the sheild's 16AL

Whaa Whaa

It does break the playstyle for a lot of people.

I'm on of the kind of people who will use advantages to the fullest and milk it to death.
That means I'd go to the extremes with builds and such. The nerf lowered the amount of things a warrior can do. It lowered the extremes. The extremes aren't that extreme anymore.

I can still tank and kill stuff and be a warrior in general. But some things have been reduced to memories.

Have a nice day. I'm off to dust off my hammer..

Well, now, "charge", "watch yourself", "victory is mine", "shields up", "to the limite" have more effect radius, good price for the absorption.

Drizix, Mursaat God · Jul 15, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Lets just make a new skill for each class to get everyone to quit whining.

"Invincibility"

120 Energy, 5 Minute Casting Time, 6 Hour recharge

While under the effects of this skill, you cannot be damaged, targetted or even looked at.

When you close the game, all your characters will be deleted and your account giving away.

:funny: :-D

1. The change in Ascalon/Knights armor (no longer universal) is more of a fix than a nerf. It's kind of hard to be upset over that one, considering how it pretty much felt like an exploit before.

2. Damage reduction was definitely nerfed, but is anyone here really suprised? ANet needed to do SOMETHING about the Warrior's complete dominance in Guild Wars, and love it or hate it, this is what they chose.
I would argue that this is actually a good thing in PvE (will help balance it out a little), but it will definitely hurt Warriors in PvP. PvP adjustments will no doubt be needed.

3. Can anyone else see Greater Conflagration being spammed left and right now?

4. Can anyone else see the market for elemental weapon mods going crazy in the coming weeks?

5. The Ele buffs were largly worthless, so stop complaining about ANet buffing Elementalists.
Oh no, a bunch of single-target Ele spells got buffed, run for the hills! Those single target Ele spells are STILL weaker than single-target Warrior adren. skills anyway, so who cares. Warriors remain the kings of consistant single-target damage.
None of the main Ele AOE spells that everyone and their grandmother uses were touched, so Ele's remain just as underpowered as they were before the update.

well the purpose of a warrior is not to die, hence the defencive capabilities. but now anet f'd that up so warrior basically is useless. what about "watch yourself", dolyak, and defy pain and stuff. is that nerfed too. they basically screwed all IDS farmers out there.

Xaero Gouki Kriegor · Jul 15, 2006, 11:12 PM // 23:12

lol ids farming? theres plenty of ways a warrior can farm and make good money, not every farming spot has elementalists, what?, hydras? The Hydras dont even have good enough drops to be considered decent farming

Updated shields, armors, and runes with damage reduction abilities so that they only reduce physical damage.

You can't read? wtf!!1111

This update just means damage reduction only affects physical - the 16 armour stays exactly the same. I've got an idea, why don't you head over to dictionary.com and look up "context", then after that you can look up whine, cry, moan and bitch.

bos_dr · Jul 16, 2006, 09:14 AM // 09:14

well hydras all u need it riposte, deadly riposte, and dolyak sig. but IDS farming is still easily possible, u just take alot more dmg.

Jestah · Jul 16, 2006, 09:18 AM // 09:18

If this is about farming, then I wish you were actually right (you weren't). It'd make my day to see all the farmers crying about not being able to solo any more in a team game.

Istari · Jul 16, 2006, 09:32 AM // 09:32

I think us warriors are gonna have to do what the eles did with the AoE damage change to monsters AI and the huge MM nerf. Both necros and eles got very upset with that but they dealt with it, so should we. Anet are just keeping us on our toes.

bos_dr · Jul 16, 2006, 09:34 AM // 09:34

i think the MM nerf was easier to keep up 10 cuz when 1 died from u making a new minion, u got the extra energy, but thats my opinion.

well some ppl farm just for fun. its a pain to try to get a group for something simple. especially as warrior, because theres too many of them out there that need a group.

AscalonWarrior · Jul 16, 2006, 09:37 AM // 09:37

After each update, someone is crying.
Anet can't make everyone feel good, they do something to elementalist, they're sad after that. Warriors feel good after they nerfed AoE, because it doesn't affect to them.
Anet does something to damage reducion, warriors feel sad, Elementalists feel good because it doesn't affect to them. They just do more dmg to warriors now.

Stop crying, I feel sad when someone is complaining in forums about updates. It's just a game

pappayaponta · Jul 16, 2006, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Wrong. Anet GJ!

And by the way...

the 16 armor is still there!!! ONLY DAMAGE REDUCTION!

Skawtt · Jul 16, 2006, 06:17 PM // 18:17

Uh ...cry more? Im so sick of all the whining if you cant deal with such a petty damage reduction change well then stop playing Warrior.
