Bonkers Leftfield Rebalance Idea

[Mungrul.9358]

So looking at a lot of the posts regarding the sorry state of Warrior, one theme that continuously surfaces is that Warrior doesn't provide any boons that other professions can't do better.

 

People go on about how Alacrity, Aegis and Quickness are some of the most important boons for organised PvE, and Might gets ignored, because it's ubiquitous. Every profession has some means of providing it to themselves and others.

 

So take that ability away from every profession except Warrior.

Make Warrior the only profession that can generate Might.

 

Now admittedly, this won't completely fix the profession, and it's a really drastic nerf for all other professions. But I think this could serve as a good starting point of discussion.

At the very least, buff Warrior's Might generating abilities and nerf those of other professions.

For example, make Warrior the only profession capable of generating 10-person Might.

Increase the stacks of Might generated by Warrior abilities while decreasing the stacks generated by other professions.

Increase the duration of Warrior generated might while decreasing it for other professions.

 

Thoughts and ideas?

 

I mean yeah, I'm prepared for this to be utterly shot down. But Warrior's in such a bad place at the moment, I can only see something as drastic as this reinvigorating the profession.

I'd rather have warrior be able to provide other boons, as opposed to exclusive boons. You already bring one war for banners; doesn't make war better.

 

If it would be the other class that can provide party stability, things might look different at least in wvw. For pve no idea whats needed (but anything is better than nothing).

It's been like 5 years and I'm still salty about how when they nerfed Druid's Grace of the Land (which used to be a LUDICROUS dps increase) the apology buff was to make Druid the best might stacker in the game instead, killing Phalanx Strength Warrior. 

 

Recently too they gave Mirage 10-man permanent 25 stacks of might without any investment at all. I don't think your idea is ever seeing the light of day OP.

For sure, me neither. But as noted, it could serve as a good starting point for discussion on how best to improve our lot. As many suggestions focus on single skills or traitlines, I think there's value in suggesting absolutely crazy, sweeping ideas.

When you've got even new players noticing that there's only really a need for three professions / elite specialisations, something big needs to change.
