I'm just gona put my 2 cents here as someone who has only played warrior since launch.

First, warrior has FAR to many skills that were designed in the alpha and beta stages of the game that have still to this day not been touched. Skills like: Sideways cut, shield counter, hilt smash, furious blow, shield push, and ultimate ground smash. This isn't counting skills that have had minor tweaks but are still generally very niche or just useless such as the recently reworked upper shield strike. It just feels to me like PA doesn't know what to do with the class and just leaves it alone in hopes noone notices.

The warrior community in general has never been super vocal about the state of the class until the last year or so when the class started to get powercrept quite heavily by other, more usefull classes. We say we are a a duelist class yet kit to kit, I cannot say that warrior should compete with the likes of kuno, ninja, tamer, striker, mystic, succ zerk, awake hash, awake nova, and awake ranger. The only reason we do imo is due to having a grab (which all the classes I meantioned also have) and the only people left playing warrior are the people dedicated to it that KNOW the game, understand matchups and punish windows for FG's, grabs and unprotected skills.

Now when you start adding ranged damage and ranged CC into the mix in GvG's, NW and Siege warrior with having block as our main defensive mechanic (already the weakest of the SA blocks), becomes seriously delegated to backline grab support which might seem nice for the people your protecting but the list of classes I put above can also fulfill this role at the same or a higher capacity. We provide no team utility like valks, witchards and shais. We cannot bomb due to a lack of long distance iframe and SA movement since you dont even get anywhere near your targets before either getting CC'd, block broken then CC'd or just outright dying to the incoming damage. So when I ask myself what can I do to help my team or group its roll another more usefull class, keep a slot open for someone else that would be more usefull in Siege or NW or afk in a flametower or hwatcha.

This makes me and the rest of the warrior community pretty sad as we have dedicated alot of time to become very proficient at Warrior and getting constantly powercrept and nerf'd out of the game feels bad. I dont want to keep rambling on but as someone that has kept up with patch notes for what is almost 7 years now, Warrior is BY FAR the most changed class fundamentally in the game despite my earlier mention of skills that had not been changed.

Lingering Super Armor was removed form our kit entirely and we only gained SA on ground smash and chopping kick as compensation, Shadow arena saw spear all around nerf'd, we gained Q canceling which added alot of fluidity to the class but gained nothing else. Succ came out and was immediatly nerf'd into the ground and is only now starting to claw its was back into the game. Recently we got reworks and gained only damage, not a single skill was updated to have protection on it. The Meditate change was a joke when alot of non rat type melee classes have a form out out of combat heal and frenzied dash was reworked to add movement utility but missed the mark by not being SA for the skill. After that we lost dp stacking which was ~30 dp just lost from the kit and for awake, the even bigger loss was the gravedigger slow since it was basically removed while other melee classes got to keep their 30% slows. Just feels bad being ignored, getting nothingburger changes or nerfed every week when classes like sage and Maegu show what the meta is like. IMO at this time, Warrior is need of a complete overhaul to become competative in the current game of BDO, not just small tweaks here and there like the OP mentioned. They would help sure, but the changes mentioned would bolster nothing other then our duels and small scale leaving us to still be on flamethrower or hwatcha duty for large scale.

Thanks for reading if you got this far but its a rough time for warriors atm when the game is focused on SA/iframe mobility, range and damage and if you dont have those your pretty much up the creek.

HeadChase distance it's to short damn it!!!

Also with all the new classes that have insane agility and dashes teleports all stuff... Warrior is left way way behind everything.

A lot of classes have stuff like laser guns or gods magic and warrior is still in stone age.

I wish i had the warrior berserker from Lostark here in BDO... that's a good image for a warrior class.

Our entire kit was designed around lingerie SA, when they removed that they had to do a rework, they keep punishing us for finding ways to make ppls cry at dfs or at ba, and cuz we are true lovers of the class, but this class need alot of work, redesign everything

hello i totally agree for the s.a on the whole reckless flux spell, however i think other changes are needed.

I think we need to remove the precision buff on the guard shot. Half the time our opponent is immune and the buff lasts too little time, and it's not strong enough.  You should put the precision buff on Fiery Will, put a duration of 10 seconds and 10% precision.

For the evasion debuff I think it needs to be increased, 10% would be good, I would like it to be on the armor break 

but it is not an obligation.

I also think the class lacks protection on these moves, invincibility every 5 moves and forward guards on our main move spells these dummies. I propose to leave the invisibility on persecution , but to add an s.a on the second moves so we can chain a moves in invincibility + a dash in s.a that gives us 2 dashes out of 5 to protect.  It would also be necessary to put a s.a on charged impale

, to combine forward guard and s.a, I find this important because we cannot always have our block at 100% especially in mass Pvp.

In addition I think that we should give us our totals dr up to 50 dr, currently to compete with the escape classes it seems obligatory to me.

Finally I think that we have to modify our 100% which is zero, putting the 100% on Reckless Blow would be very interesting whether in mass Pvp or 1v1 but also in pve. Of course, the entire spell must be in s.a.

It kinda just blows me away seeing people reporting issues with things like Warrior and Nova, and other meta classes. Meanwhile we have plenty of classes that aren't playable in ANY pvp gamemode at all, while warrior is a meta class for EVERY pvp mode.

Kinda blows my mind that 9/10 times that someone call warrior META in EVERY pvp mode ( which is completely joke of a statement )
Is actually sorc.

Sorc PR team still going strong.

Warrior in general is an old class which didn't got rework properly by Pearl Abyss durint the reboot session. Since 2018, the class went from good frontlaner with many protections and good CCs to duelist.

hello i totally agree for the s.a on the whole reckless flux spell, however i think other changes are needed.

Shameless.
