for every point into strength warrior have a 1% (or maybe even just .5%) chance to inflict cracked armor when using attack skills.

ideas?

What? Seriously? As if warriors aren't strong enough already, absolutely no reason to buff them more.

I'm pretty convinced Strength is more than good enough as-is for Warriors.

Just trying to find a way to get warrior to be able to inflict it...they have 2 skills that have a special modifier when foe has cracked armor, but they have 0 ways to inflict it.

I'd say instead of buffing a warrior primary, a-net could probably use their time more wisely by buffing maybe mysticism or something? Just a thought..

It's the same case for Rangers and Dervishes. You could just throw in [shell shock] in there - especially if you're using [conjure lightning]. I think those skills were supposed to depend on other teammates inflicting 'Cracked Armor' for you, anyways.

strength already gives armor penetration, having it have a chance of automatically inflicting a condition (espec. cracked armor) would just make it way way way to over powered. it's fine as it.

There's a reason caster professions have skills that inflict Cracked Armor and martial professions have skills that trigger on Cracked Armor.

Sorry but Warriors have the best DPS already without inflicting Cracked armor. They pwn. If you wanna use those certian skills have teamates with weaken armor or shell shock, or hell, bring em yourself.

Nice try but warriors are just too good already. Sorry man.

Warriors don't need a way to apply cracked armor. Guild Wars is a team game, team synergy ftw.

You could go 5% with sundering weapon like the medieval days some swords could penetrate armour.

But this isn't the medieval days, this is an online game that needs skill balancing.

Strength is probably the worst primary attribute, arguably worse than spawning power. Not that warriors need a buff, but certainly compared to the effects other martial classes get on their primary attribute it's lol bad.

If anything warriors should get 5 extra health per rank in strength on top of the armor penetration...would make sense since it's "strength" and dervs get 25 extra health just for being dervs. But that's never going to happen nor any other major changes to class fundamentals.

Bobbin' my head
To your happy song

Then out of the blue
Came these words, from you
Which led me to ask
"Can I buy some drugs offa you?"

Krill · Aug 23, 2008, 06:48 AM // 06:48

For the sake of discussion, since it's never going to happen, what would be wrong with giving warriors some extra health? I doubt anyone could careless for PvP but for PvE it might be nice.

Faer · Aug 23, 2008, 06:52 AM // 06:52

Down on the river of Pee Vee Pee
Now listen son, yes listen to me
Down on the river of Pee Vee Pee
There's a boat called balance
A boat, y'see?

In this boat we ride along
Whistlin' the tune and singin' the song
A song called Equality
A tune called Fair Play
High armor and high health?
Now, son, that's just gay.

Considering that most of the damage warriors take is degen, direct damage and life stealing the physical armor bonus has crept down quite a bit in usefulness over time. I digress though, crazy stupid idea and thanks for the clever poems.

No, strength is better than spawning power.

Anyways, if anything, warriors should get shit, because they're powerful enough. The reason why it's never going to happen is because it's unnecessary.

Faer, your poems are amazing. Please sir, keep making them.
