Warrior sluggish

[Willard]

Hello,

please cut charging up times for abilities like Sunder / Hammer by half or make them interract with attack/skill speed stat properly.

I´ve been playing titan since the start, currently sitting at lvl 76, I´ve tried everything to make it faster, attack speed nodes, skill speed nodes, attack speed on weapons.

Before you say "git gut" or smt like this its not about performance. I think the class performs pretty well because it is able to clear T15 maps with ease, this is just about fun factor. It simply isn´t fun to charge skills for so long while being pushed back and forth by mobs and eating all hits/aoes.

Currently titan is around 4% of top 1000 population, half people rerolled to other classes since last week, it pretty much shows how fun it is.

Thanks

I hope it's just the mace. Staff does feel so much better. It all works but it does feel bad. sunder takes 2.44 seconds
or 2.22 with martial tempo so not really worth slotting. i've had sunder miss targets right in front of me as well. maybe a accuracy stat problem?


Melee doesn't feel great in general. my warrior survives and kills everything but is sooo clunky. staff monk is fast but so squishy in melee range.

No, use support gems!

There are no support gems which allow you to speedup charging times. Martial tempo (25% attack speed) only reduces it slightly.

The skills explains it pretty clearly, most of them adds a set timer AFTER all calculations, meaning they can't be sped up. The "problem" at it's core is that warrior is meant to be the slowest melee in the game, and we're missing the gaps inbetween like Maurader, Duelist, Druid, etc. It just makes him look so much clunkier in comparison to something like the Monk.

That said, Mace skills could use some QoL like hyperarmor and smart targeting.

Sunder clears the screen of enemies. It should have a wind up time. It deletes them.

use regular attack with cultist greathammer, you are welcome.

[Kostil Vyaliy]

love how tiny mob interrupts you from using your skills ))) what a fan experience.

There's two clusters of attack speed increase pretty close to the start of the warrior tree. Grab one of those and you're pretty good to go.

I have all attack speed nodes possible. Problem is u can't go below certain limit. Still feels too sluggish.

Its not fun for me.

Warrior gets a lot better in the endgame with a proper setup, but it does feel quite sluggish during the campaign. I think that is an issue with warrior classes in a lot of games. in classic WoW, as a warrior, you are completely useless at the start of the game, but then turn into a Giga Chad at the end. Warrior in PoE 2 have huge clear with big explosions in the endgame that makes them quite satisfying to play if you make it that far.

I agree. Abilities like Shatter or Hammer just aren't fun to play.

Yes, I can play stampede and be very succesfull with it. Warrior is pretty strong.

I am talking only talking about fun factor here regarding these abilities, nothing else.

Yeah I totally agree. I've tried to spent passive points to speed the skills up but it's just not enough to make enough difference.

I'm lvl 78 specced into a bunch of crap to oneshot bosses and rares, and while its fun fighting them clearing all the trash is so painfully slow

Atleast for my build, the most efficient way to clear a screen of trash mobs is to literally just bind Sunder to RMB and press it once or twice, walk a screen or two forward, repeat, repeat, repeat

It's so slow. I played with an elementalist the same level as me the other day, and by the time I'd nearly wound up my sunder, he had killed 90% of the mobs already.

It's just so damn slow, all the skills.

And while for myself, and seeing other Titan players, the class or whatever build they have all seem to shine when it comes to killing bosses or rares, like - I'm literally leveling up another character just to farm maps faster lol - I can't stand the pace of Titan anymore.

Well, it isn't the problem with the character. You want to play a fast character but pick the one with the lowest attack speed that are even more lowered by their skills. Even in the passive tree we have thing like +15% Attack damage but -1% attack speed. And now you are doing Tier 15 Map it suddenly hit you that YES he is freaking slow.

I do myself enjoy this gameplay but I can understand that not everyone will like it. But damn... Getting to Tiers 15 Map to realize that is even slower than the Warrior Fully Charged Supercharged Slam Skill. :P

[ChuTheMan]

Swords/axes are most likely gonna be faster.

mace seems to be made as a slower more hard hitting weapon, so i doubt they gonna make maces faster.

ofc the entire issue is that we still only have access to maces, so there are not much else warriors can go for right now.
