People complaining about the best physical vocation??? gasp

Warriors do not shine in the ability damage department, because it isn't necessary for them to use abilities to hurt things. Or kill things. Or knock things down. You can literally Core Skill your way to victory in all aspects using the right Augments. Even when you use the wrong Augments. The finisher attacks in both Light Attack strings can knockdown things like Prisoner Gorecyclopes when timed correctly. Skills like Pommel Strike and Exodus Slash can be weaved in between combos to save time/build up more stagger/interupt enemies in the middle of their own attacks.

It is my belief that most people get baited into thinking that those big charge up moves (Indomitable/Calamitous Lash and Arc of Deliverance/Arc of Obliteration) are supposed to be the Warrior's best "dps" abilities. Those kinds of abilities are for the sake of knocking down larger opponents in a single strike, but obviously require actual timing and precision to be used correctly. The best ability dps a Warrior has is in most cases Indomitable/Calamitous Lunge. Consistent, multi-hit bull rush move that is at least somewhat on par with their own Core Skill dps (which I must stress is their greatest strength), and it also serves as a strong knockdown attack for when the need arises. arisens

I'm reading some of these more recent comments. I'm pretty disappointed that after all this time since the game's release people are still unable to master these vocations. Complaining about the 3 skill slot "limitation"? Warriors have less need for active skills because their normal attacks are superior. Complaining about them being...slow??? If you try to charge up Arc of Deliverance/Obliteration in front of a group of monsters, expect poor results, because that is poor strategy. If you instead smash them up with Core Skills and have Exodus Slash prepared, well congratulations, you will never get hit (provided you don't suck, at least)! In terms of actual movement speed, Warriors would only end up having it slightly worse off in any case. You can easily stay at Very Light move rate with the right augments, and even if you're (for whatever reason) constantly at Average or higher, it changes nothing. Burden level does not stop you from plowing into things with Core Skills and using Exodus Slash to dodge things.

tl;dr Stop getting baited into using slow charging skills for dps (like lol??), learn to use those Core Skills (because they are absolute and godly, and completely obviate the use of abilities for the sake of damage), and learn to Exodus Slash at the right time.
