Nice clicking my liege xffing Your Shadowbringers media tour was how I came across so its really cool to see you doing this again (nice birthday celebration btw)
As a person who picked up WAR in late ShB and has not used another tank (except to level) since, this is just amazing to see more DPS options and inbetweeners for the burst. I always felt like finishers is what it was missing, and they DELIVERED. Being someone who likes solo content and unsynced solos, it’s gonna be fun to see what Eden raids can be done solo now, with the extra echo bonus and the higher damage output.
Grats on the media tour! On the one hand, a lot of the new continuation style finishers and big flashy attacks are very cool, and definitely feel like the final form of these jobs, appropriate for level 100. On the other hand, I kind of would have liked to see more transformative and cool changes to kits. It looks like playing all but a few of the Dawntrail jobs will feel almost identical to their Endwalker counterpart, for better or worse. That said, I'm just looking forward to having something new to do lol
2000 healing potency is a lot, equilibrium already crit heals like 50k with a 1200 potency, so this regen if a few of the ticks crit will be around 70-80k healing, which can probably also be buffed by using thrill in conjunction with the ability..
The issue Xeno highlights with the regen is more of the same issue with Darkknight version that has excog, the healing isnt really adding to the defense of the skill but the recovery after. Thats not back mind you its less pressure on healers if you survive a hit. However you have to live through the hit first, and 90% of all tank busters dont have alot of follow up attacks like they did back during stormblood and heavensward. In dungeons ita phenominal but of the 4 skills WARs is probably the 'worst'. Gunbreaker got it the best followed by Paladin then Dark Knight. They are all amazing abilities that steal from the other Tanks to make more funsies.
@@GoatOfWar And that doesn't matter if the devs literally say that there's too many oGCDs during burst. Somehow expecting them to fill those gaps is just setting yourself up for failure.
Warrior looks sick af. I still miss Butcher's Block tho....RIP. If they just replace Storms Path with Butcher's Block, I will most likely have to have splash guards for my computer.
Personally I was hoping that damnation's HOT was triggered when you took damage instead of at the end of the CD. Granted it'll be nice using that with the HOT after Equalibrium Also them not combining Upheaval and Orogeny into one attack was a miss
One day we will get a berserker mode on war where we pull out a second axe that looks the same as our normal one, and dual wield them while going ham doing double axe fell cleaves and big ground slams and such, and will be even more badass than war already is. If anyone played tera, berserker had a double axe burst mode that was similar to this concept and it was so fucking satisfying
i feel like the Wrath stacks would serve the Job better if it wasn't limited to Inner Release and instead just got one with each Fell Cleave unleashed. Especially since it's not a Crit-DH like Rend and Ruination, even when in Inner Release mode. It would also do a lot for making the job feel a little more active/less threadbare, which remains my main complaint with the Job. I personally missed when it had some Blue DPS vibes to it.
Grats on being invited to the tour! But yeah, Warrior is just the perfect class in FFXIV. I'm not always in the mood for it, but it does its thing and it does it well. I'm so happy with these minor changes. May it never get a major rework. Doesn't need it.
@@Rush_Coil using the gap closer raiju into the melee raiju was also the "flavour" of ninja in endwalker and they changed that immediately. it's not mechanical brainrot, it's just doesn't seem like it'll feel good
Something Im curious about and IM NOT complaining. Why are the potencies on WAR so much lower vs other tanks for their big hitting skills? Is it a balancing thing due to innate self healing? Again, Im not complaining because I know the overall damage isnt that far off from other tanks. Im just curious if we know the reason behind it.
Because of the guaranteed direct crit id assume. Pretty much all of warriors big hits have that, plus the increase to damage if there's a crit or dhit up effect like battle litany or chain strategem
I think he means giving initial surging tempest buff instead of extending existing buff. For example, if you use prepull inner release opener, you will do 3 unbuffed Fell Cleaves before applying your Surging Tempest buff. What he suggested will ensure that 3 Fell Cleaves will be buffed for pre-pull Inner Release opener. It's niche, but nice to have.
@@RoyWirapati Ah gotcha, thanks for the explanation. I didn't know what he meant by that. Prepull IR is so niche but it could be really cool to prepull IR and pull with fell cleaves that're buffed with surging tempest.
I love warrior, it was my main until i swapped over to dark knight. It's for that very reason of more button pressing that I switched. Warrior is badass but having lots of empty in between downtime puts me to sleep. Maybe the intention IS to make it easy? But i just wish they added a few more extra ogcds.
WAR is pretty much about as close to perfect as it can be, function wise, and it getting new damage buttons to hit (which is arguably it's only "weakness")...if my co-tank wasn't maining WAR for all these years, it would be my no brainer choice as first job to level in DT. Extra big bonks? Sign me TF up!
honestly, severely dissapointed that we still have onslaught having damage tied to it. utility shouldn't bring DPS, period, no discussion possible. (especially when DRK and GNB gets theirs removed.) but gotta say, that new combo thing looks sick, slams hilt into the ground, explosion and then FUCK IT MASSIVE AXE
I feel like primal wrath was originally designed to be used outside of Inner Release as well ( like wrath stacks accumulated just through basic Fell Cleave and Decimation use) and then they thought it was to strong and tied it to Inner Release. they coulda dropped the Wrath stacks at that point but decided to keep them cause lazy coding :/
no, the idea of this job has literally focused on how iconic the triple fell cleave during burst is, they even put it in the job action trailer, they are highlighting it by having a move that pays off the triple fell cleaves building up to it, you need to think about what the actual intent is instead of assuming something silly
I would rather have them keep storms eye, it lets me think at least a little when playing the job. Primal ruination should have been an ogcd and it would help alleviate the issue of not fitting everything into a burst window. im not sure why they're so afraid of giving us more ogcd's tbh.
Making Warrior more of a Soloing Beast. Who needs healer? Warrior just needs to rotate defensives well and they can solo dungeons, can probably also do lvl 90 raid stuff solo. Heck. might even see a warrior + 7 dps team to kill lvl 90 savage.
you complain that the wrath charges arent needed and the other jobs' similar abilities just turn to their follow up.. Well you answered your own question... they simply dont want you to pop instinct and primal rend > primal wrath > primal ruination ... they want you to have to use the fel cleave's before you get the 3 followup attacks one after another. They simply dont want you to hit the button and get 3 followups that hit like a tank.
HE GOT IN MEDIA TOUR FRIENDLY STRIMMER, MOUNTAIN DEW FRIENDLY STRIMMER, CUTE BALD STRIMMER

NICE MEDIA TOUR MY LIEGE

Nice clicking my liege xffing
Your Shadowbringers media tour was how I came across so its really cool to see you doing this again (nice birthday celebration btw)
THE PROPHECY OF THE MEDIA TOUR
PRAISE BE MY MEDIA TOUR LIEGE
I think the wrathful stacks are there as more of a flavor thing tbh, like you are fell cleaving to power up to the Primal Wrath.
Pwimal Wend, Pwimal Wath, Pwimal Wuination. Looking cool, my liege.
Pwimal uWuination
All it took was for Baldicante to make a live appearance

Gap closers still have potency and Orogeny and Upheaval are not combined to one button.
Damn. I thought they moved the potency off of gap closers :(
@@TenchiSawadaonly for classes with oGCD heavy burst windows
@@GoatOfWar But they LITERALLY did it to remove oGCDs from the class. If they filled it back up it would be pointless.
@@GoatOfWar And that doesn't matter if the devs literally say that there's too many oGCDs during burst. Somehow expecting them to fill those gaps is just setting yourself up for failure.
orogeny and upheaval combining would be awful because orogeny is the only terrible WAR animation, it's as bad as a PLD animation
Warrior looks sick af. I still miss Butcher's Block tho....RIP. If they just replace Storms Path with Butcher's Block, I will most likely have to have splash guards for my computer.
Honestly, that 1-2-3 Fell Cleave, into the oGCD, into the 1-2 Primal Rend looks satisfying as heeeeell
Man! I love watching your streams! Thanks for your thoughts and insights on the updates!
Personally I was hoping that damnation's HOT was triggered when you took damage instead of at the end of the CD. Granted it'll be nice using that with the HOT after Equalibrium
Also them not combining Upheaval and Orogeny into one attack was a miss
Just in time I plan to main WAR for the tier ayo!!! Glad to see you doing media tour!!
The new Warrior animations look so amazing! Definitely playing it!
HE WAS THERE?? I'm so happy for Xeno, man, he's such a reference, and this is huge!
I'm glad that with that anim change for IC we finally after all these years truly have Feller Cleave
Finally Media Tour infos, get hyped :3
One day we will get a berserker mode on war where we pull out a second axe that looks the same as our normal one, and dual wield them while going ham doing double axe fell cleaves and big ground slams and such, and will be even more badass than war already is. If anyone played tera, berserker had a double axe burst mode that was similar to this concept and it was so fucking satisfying
I wish they would give us WAR main the "Unchained" animation back. That animation was bad ass.
the 3 stack thing i guess is they require you to have melee uptime
Happy birthday strummer!
EXCELLENT VIDEO MY LIEGE
My liege congrats on getting the media tour inv
Xeno, were you able to let the dev team know about your critique towards the wrath stacks?
Maybe they can fix it for release
TOS FRIENDLY STRUMMER GOT INTO THE MEDIA YOUR YAYYY
Oh so they chaned inner chaos animation. I wondered what that was
LETS GOOOOOOO!!! Grats getting in. DAWNTRAIL will be the best
i feel like the Wrath stacks would serve the Job better if it wasn't limited to Inner Release and instead just got one with each Fell Cleave unleashed.

It would also do a lot for making the job feel a little more active/less threadbare, which remains my main complaint with the Job. I personally missed when it had some Blue DPS vibes to it.
interesting onslought still does damage, seems like they went out of their way to remove damage from a ton of gap closers
Grats on being invited to the tour! But yeah, Warrior is just the perfect class in FFXIV. I'm not always in the mood for it, but it does its thing and it does it well. I'm so happy with these minor changes. May it never get a major rework. Doesn't need it.
Omg media tour! 😂❤
fppong FEEL THE WRATH OF MY DAMNATION fppong
Brand risk unbanned from media tour?
What is the rotation for warrior? I was trying to keep up
They'll definitely change the 3 stack thing, I feel
no they won't, the three stacks are for the flavor of building up with every fell cleave, thinking about only mechanical function is brainrot
@@Rush_Coil using the gap closer raiju into the melee raiju was also the "flavour" of ninja in endwalker and they changed that immediately. it's not mechanical brainrot, it's just doesn't seem like it'll feel good
This is definitely the rank 3 video ever made.

Great Tour My Liege
EXCELENT BIRTHDAY TOUR MY LEAGE
I wanted a second charge for Upheaval
I will say anytime I play WAR I hear the Doom soundtrack in my head.
WE DID IT MEDIA TOUR!!!
Can someone explain to me how Xenos thinks Inner Release doesn't give Storm's Eye when it literally gives a 10s duration boost to Surging Tempest?
I think he means giving initial surging tempest buff instead of extending existing buff. For example, if you use prepull inner release opener, you will do 3 unbuffed Fell Cleaves before applying your Surging Tempest buff. What he suggested will ensure that 3 Fell Cleaves will be buffed for pre-pull Inner Release opener. It's niche, but nice to have.
@@RoyWirapati Ah gotcha, thanks for the explanation. I didn't know what he meant by that.
Prepull IR is so niche but it could be really cool to prepull IR and pull with fell cleaves that're buffed with surging tempest.
MY LIEGE GOT INTO THE MEDIA TOUR! QWQ
Maybe having the Fel Cleaves give a stack regardless if you're in IR or not.
Also inner chaos and chaotic cyclone should give stacks too
maybe, but if not, it's because they want to highlight the burst triple fell cleave
MEDIA TOUR STRUMMMEEERRRRRRRR
Primal Wrath should be direct Crit Hit too. Why is it not?
Damn, what kind of plate do you serve Damnation on?
War getting another heal? We need more of that.
Nice Birthday milord
EXCELLENT MEDIA TOUR M'LIEGE
HELL YEAH!! WENZ DORK NIGHT
EXCELLENT MEDIA TO- I MEAN BIRTHDAY MY LIEGE.
I love warrior, it was my main until i swapped over to dark knight. It's for that very reason of more button pressing that I switched. Warrior is badass but having lots of empty in between downtime puts me to sleep. Maybe the intention IS to make it easy? But i just wish they added a few more extra ogcds.
MY LIEGE GOT INTO MEDIA TOUR!!
All the traits are above lv 60 :(
Infiltrated the media tour MANMODE
notice the difference in tone when talking about warrior, MAN MODE for the win!!
Aye, lets go, strummer got invited!!
WOOOO
"warrior is terrible in dawntrail"
excellent bait my liege
HE GOT THE MEDIA TOUURRRRRRRRRRR
WAIT OUR STRUMMER GOT IN THE TOUR!?!?!????? 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
MOST MEDIA TOUR FRIENDLY STRUMMER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD
Warrior has always been easy, the most difficult thing was remembering to do old inner release with vengeance so the retaliation crit.
well...
HELL YEAH
MY LIEGE'S BDAY TRIP WAS WELL WORTH IT SEEMS :>
WAR is pretty much about as close to perfect as it can be, function wise, and it getting new damage buttons to hit (which is arguably it's only "weakness")...if my co-tank wasn't maining WAR for all these years, it would be my no brainer choice as first job to level in DT. Extra big bonks? Sign me TF up!
Primal Urination?？？
honestly, severely dissapointed that we still have onslaught having damage tied to it.
utility shouldn't bring DPS, period, no discussion possible. (especially when DRK and GNB gets theirs removed.)
but gotta say, that new combo thing looks sick, slams hilt into the ground, explosion and then FUCK IT MASSIVE AXE
MANMODE! HELL YEAH!
Hmm.. what if a newly proposed butcher's block gave wrath stacks?
IT’S HERE!! SPECTACULAR MEDIA TOUR COVERAGE, MY LIEGE! Finally our super cute bald strummer was invited
MEDIA TOUR STRUMMERRRRR 👀👀👀😎😎😎😎😎😎
Just sticking around for the opportunity to throw it back in manmode.
fppong explains warrior baldly
Banned and back on media tour?! THATS MY STRUMMER
I feel like primal wrath was originally designed to be used outside of Inner Release as well ( like wrath stacks accumulated just through basic Fell Cleave and Decimation use) and then they thought it was to strong and tied it to Inner Release. they coulda dropped the Wrath stacks at that point but decided to keep them cause lazy coding :/
no, the idea of this job has literally focused on how iconic the triple fell cleave during burst is, they even put it in the job action trailer, they are highlighting it by having a move that pays off the triple fell cleaves building up to it, you need to think about what the actual intent is instead of assuming something silly
Alliance raids are going to be downright impossible to see anything.
so warrior just got 2 more buttons essentially.... hopefully 8.0 is good
I would rather have them keep storms eye, it lets me think at least a little when playing the job. Primal ruination should have been an ogcd and it would help alleviate the issue of not fitting everything into a burst window. im not sure why they're so afraid of giving us more ogcd's tbh.
MEDIATOUR'D
I like storms eye animation better. Just make it the 123
EXCUSE ME CLICKING THE ABILITIES I UH.. UM.. I DID NOT BRING MY MOUSE TO THIS :bald_head:
Making Warrior more of a Soloing Beast. Who needs healer? Warrior just needs to rotate defensives well and they can solo dungeons, can probably also do lvl 90 raid stuff solo.
Heck. might even see a warrior + 7 dps team to kill lvl 90 savage.
DID MY LIEGE GOT INTO MEDIA TOUR???
you complain that the wrath charges arent needed and the other jobs' similar abilities just turn to their follow up..

He needed to became balder to get invited.
