warrior is trash

[Gio]

why playing warrior waiting 10 seconds to do 1 hit when you can play fighter and spearhand and just do everything better AND not be still like a duck while doing it

i can use skewer on fighter and demolish a bar of a dragon easily or spam bs with spearhand teleporting everywhere

Agreed. The animation times and recovery times are just too much to be practical/viable in most situations.

[...]

yeah they went overboard with some animations in this game.

Yes, by the time you've finished swinging, all the enemy have already been killed by your pawns. The sword/ shield much better. It's just for brainless people who like BigZ Slow HiTz.

I don't know man, hitting a Griffon as it charges you and coming out on top is good ♥♥♥♥
Same with drakes
I think all Physical/melee so far (not counting spearhand/warfarer) are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing

Why "not counting" those 2? Aren't they the best ones?

Yet to try them, I'm currently finishing off maxing out fighter and then finally moving on to Warfarer.
Probably should've worded it better
So far for me it's Archer>Rogue>Warrior>Fighter not that fighter is bad in anyway, it's a lot of fun
Edit: though fighter being able to be chain staggered into infinity is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded

I am actually tempted to try a second play through with the old tried and true skyrim stealth archer build if I can make that work I think it would be awesome

yeah i agree thief is probably best seeing the damage + stagger value

Might work, one of the biggest flaws in this game is the AI though.
I started with archer and noticed that groups of mobs would straight up ignore combat if I one shot the target I opened on.
I had a very silly moment where three goblins were in a circle and I shot them one at a time without a single reaction

That's the anime stuff 'must of been the wind' *ignores dead guy next to him with arrow in head*

I mean if all your looking for is most damage, then your not going to do better than mystic archer.

It's being able to attack and swing through it, it's not good for standard enemies, sure, but it's definitely for specializing. You demolish bigger targets very regularly with some of the skills. Heavenward strike is a great launcher and on large targets it can hit multiple times, I often get a stagger since it's good for uppercutting weakpoints. Ogre is the perfect size, Cyclops is just out of an eye hit unless you have a small height difference on them.

It's slow and harder to use for smaller, weaker, packs of enemies but that's why your other pawns can be better at specializing for those things. I literally just finished a Dragon Fight where it was knocked down and frozen, allowing me to whirlwind slash three of its healthbars down singlehandedly.

It really just boils down to your own preference. I still enjoy Warrior, but I don't like playing Thief and most of the magical classes. Yet to play a few other vocations though.

Just because you don't know how to play it does not mean it's bad.

Are you using proper timing on your swings? There's an ability where when you do a light swing, you can press it again during the finish of the arc and speed up your next one. Same goes for charge attacks and Whirlwind Slash is beyond powerful for a large prone enemy. Releasing the moment you're fully charged increases the damage by a lot more and often reaps additional effects.

If you feel your too slow then you either dont have gale slash skill or chain of blows core one so far only my sorc main pawn with her meister meteor skill can outperform me in a fight. Im lv 28 with maxed out warrior vocation mind you so I dont know if your higher lv than me but I melt smaller/medium enemies while knocking down the bigger ones with Indomitable Lash or Mountain Breaker (with breakneck strike core skill) feels amazing, even stun locked a griffon one time (with the pawns help ofc) poor bastard couldnt even get off the ground tho I only fought 2 so far.
