What are the warrior changes for 1.7 Trion?

[Xney]

I really don't want more oGCD finishers. In fact, it would be nice if FB wasn't one. It's brutal to energy. They should do a finisher GCD worth of damage and then apply any effects if they have any.

Finishers take 4.5 seconds to charge up in most builds. They should be something that hits hard. If it takes 4.5s + 1.5s of a finisher (assuming it's not off the GCD) that's 6 seconds - as long as it takes some mage abilities to build up which hit for large values.

Also the finishers being off the GCD contributes to even more button mashing and I would frankly like less of that. Plus all of the tricky timing and such with the PVE dps builds is because of it and RW mixing in...

WARRIOR

PALADIN
* Preservation: No longer prevented from being cast on a Paladin after the original target removes it. No longer causes you to enter combat.
* Aggressive Block: Now properly triggers Rising Waterfall.

RIFTBLADE
* Rising Waterfall: Will no longer immediately break the buff granted by Surging Energy when it critically hits.

VINDICATOR [PvP]
* Tactical Strikes: No longer affects Spotter's Order.

VOID KNIGHT
* Surge: No longer ignores line of sight for threat generation.

Looks like Trion is happy with the current state of warriors.

Everyone already knew this...

If they remove riftblade and champ souls, we should just about be where they want us.

They have to be doing something special for 1.7. Its been two months since 1.6 came out and no word of 1.7 has been dropped. Im sure that they know that this is a make or break patch.

I don't see it as a make or break patch most are waiting for another game. When it's out no patch will be able to save them.

this is an excellent pve game ( so ive been told). Some may come back to rift but no pvpers will since the next game isn't p2p and core design is around pvp.

I don't think they care pvp is and probably will always be the minority
