WAR (Warhammer Online)

I rolled one to 13 yesterday, worst class i've ever played, i went to forums and looked at mastery/core abilities, and... it's terrible.

Lower dps then mages, no survivability gains, less aoe, less burst, less everything.

I've heard Squigs are in a similar boat since they are mirrors, but dang what a disappointment the class is.

me must be playing different shadow warriors

at lvl 9 I end up top dps in scenarios, i just nuke the crap out of destro, at 10 I got a 10 sec aoe snare! and 50 percent to stay even if I dps, and morale knockback is just pwnage

are u sure we are playing the same class?

try putting some skill into it and maybe get some gear or something

All of you people who expect the classes to be perfectly balanced the first week have a lesson or two to be learned. You obviously didn't play DAoC at launch and get chain stunned by healers while a single zerker ran through your full party of 8. Furthermore too, you expect Mythic to maintain balance between classes for 40 levels too? Get some skill man.

i blame wow... nothing in it requires skill, just a bunch of wasted time farming for gear, farming for rep to get gear, farming gold to get gear, farming X mob to get gear... or farming arenas against your friends to get gear...  and everyone who has played wow, now thinks they're "dashizzle" when it comes to pvp, cuz they took turns beating their friends/losing to their friend in arena matches.

people whine too much about "balance".   balance means that one class kicks the ass of all other classes and can take on 5 other people and win every time.  when most people whine about balance, they should be whining about skill... player skill... as in they need to l2p before they post.

first off, damage done in scenarios=nothing.  you can get kited around by a shaman for a entire game dealing 10k more damage then the next highest and still be less important then them.

The thing is, the burst damage we have is terrible, our constant is ignorable by tanks(since it's pure physical) the healers can outheal your damage without much struggle and even when they can't they can simply bounce out of your range for a second and negate everything.

Bright wizards(and sorcs) do more damage then SW, they also get the 10 second root, their disarm is ranged instead of melee. they have a aoe silence.

at level 3 a bright wizard can out dps a level 8 shadow warrior OUTSIDE of a scenario(ie not scaled).

Then look at the engineer. they actually have a lot of the functionality of the SW, except a lot of their abilities which are similar are actually BETTER then a SW, as well as having a much much better aoe capacity.

Let alone the eng has much higher surv

I agree fully SW are a waste of space; I lvled to lvl 15 and have blue weapons,shoulder and chest yet I struggle to even tickle most classes, melee classes 3-4 lvl lower tear me a new one in seconds.I play in skirmish most of the time so I can keep moveing but even so with the amont of snare skills it's next to impossable to kite and if your morale skill is on cooldown you may as well just give up.

Healers are pretty op'd The Zealot can heal on the run pretty much, your only really screwed when you get caught by 3+ people

Just finished T1 scenario (Khane) with my lvl 8 SW

No3 damage

No1 Kills

No2 Exp

one before last in Deaths

Now I agree we are not as good as BW. But we have much more utility, and BW takes forewer to cook those spells.

SW's are fast , very fast - opportunist killers, and swift runners

Sounds like someone needs to learn how to play the class.

Also, Squig Hunters are not the SW Class Mirror despite popular belief.

As far as I can see the class is dead i've played most of day in T2 scenarios and I'am yet to see another SW I see plenty of BW and WH but never SW its the same with SH I very rarely see them.
