The only cons I can think of is I can never find axe design that I like

At this point your just convincing me to play all classes like I was probably going to do anyway due to my "can't pick a class" complex.

I started the game as a SUM 2 months ago or so, then I got to lvl 60 and wanted to try something new so I picked WAR. I just got to lvl 90 as a Warrior today and I can say that I regret nothing! Coming from a sprout on FFXIV that avoided tanking at all costs on other MMOs, Warrior helped me to get hooked on both the game and the role. This video is very well put together and sums up most of my thoughts on the job so far. Lastly, keep swinging your axes, fellow warriors!

5: Inner Release 4: Bloodwhetting 3: Fell Cleave !!! 2: Fell Cleave !!! 1: Fell Cleave !!!

First

I really got into it a few days ago, and the fact I can self heal actually has me enjoying tanking. Warrior go brrrrr.

I started FF14 a year ago. I picked Marauder as my first job and when Marauder in itself wasn't THAT fun. I completely fell in love with the Warrior. Eventually, I tried all the other jobs and fount others that I really love, but as far as tanking goes, even if the DRK is really fun, I always come back to Warrior. So it did become my main.

I'm a diehard healer main and so far I'm loving my level 45 warrior. it's very satisfying to swing a big axe around and be immortal when you're wall 2 wall pulling dungeons, regardless of your healer's skill level

In the high end of things: The invuln is still the best of all tanks, and imo is the #1 reason to bring it to high end content. Shorter CD enables strats that otherwise are not possible (especially apparent in dsr), or at the very least it let's u save CDs and kitchen sink the next TB (why they feel unkillable).

I started out as archer/bard when i got the free trial but i found myself dying to simple encounters that were at my lvl, so i tried a bunch of other jobs and stuck with warrior. The self-healing made it so much easier for me to continue playing, and i even found myself enjoying being the tank in groups

WAR at level 50: PAIN. WAR at level 80: Rip and tear, until it is done.

I adore paladin but there's just something about my bunny girl charging into battle weilding an axe that is so satisfying

I recently brought my warrior back to life from 80 to 90 . This is my all time fave tank that goes brrrr!!

I was talked into playing Warrior 4 years ago. You sir have done that again today. 🤓

I have never tanked in FF14, but since finishing Shadow bringers as DPS I have been really curious about tanking. Problem is, I have awful Anxiety and get worried about looking like an idiot or making people angry.

I'm going to quote my friend who mains warrior and basically convinced me to main it "A warrior stands tall against even gods. They unleash their wrath upon all who look to cause harm to their party. They laugh at deaths face and say "Try harder." Tvey stand there ground...only to destroy it." yup...that sold me.

Bloodwhetting is great for dungeons and ok for raids imo. It just scales so insanely well for a sub 1min cd. That conan intro is also pretty ballers. Sums up the job perfectly, basically the d2/d3 barbarian of FF14.

i hope you can do a paladin video next or soon. level 62 paladin so far brand new player.

When I started FFXIV back in 2.0, I thought Marauder was a DPS job. I wasn't wrong.

Reasons: 1) Bloodwhettiing..2) Fel Cleave..3) Blood Cleave..4) Fel Whetting 5)Curious Gorge

i would love to play this class, but i just dont like axes :/ ...... if they would just have big swordies like DRK

1. Fell Cleave 2. Fell Cleave 3. Fell Cleave 4. Fell Cleave 5. Fell Cleave

Love WAR for the bloodwhetting insanity in dungeons. But somehow after trying DRK, WAR and PLD (GNB is next) I somehow liked PLD the most. Don't know why yet. Maybe cause it's less popular (I'm weird that way, don't want to play the popular choice). Maybe cause I forget my burst windows in DRK and WAR cause of boring in between fase 😅. Maybe cause burst is chiller in PLD (no burst, more like the DRG freight train but less restrictive). Maybe cause I like the ranged phase in PLD and the variation in rotation. Curious what your thoughts are on PLD Despi!

I wise man once said *GRAAAAAGGH!*

Would love to see a five reasons for DNC :D

I really dont think the war is that super pvp god you say it to be, because if it gets focused, you can go down pretty Quick, specially if your ping messes up your bloodwhetting. I feel it shines more for its crownd control than for its damage as well, since the best way to use the war lb would with your party. And if somehow you get either transformed by whm or charmed by dancer or afraid by reaper or even get killed , since you cant guard, then that's it. It is a good class for pvp, i just dont think its as broken and powerful as lots of people say. The rest of your points i agree.

Love the Age of Conan music. =)

DRK suffers the same slow phase post-burst, what does it have to use during that, 1-2-3 and a oGCD that is MP limited. Whereas WAR has 1-2-3/4 and a oGCD on a 30s timer. It's literally DRK has the worse downtime after the burst is spent.

Warrior is probably the only job you'll ever play if you are Fate grinding for gemstone unlocks.

I’m gonna need that glam

Second! And long story short.....its the best tank

Not gonna lie I know it's an apple to oranges thing but warrior in ff14 reminds me of blood dk in wow. Just just keep healing and hitting and laughing also the big axe!

How'd you know I literally swapped over to my WAR last night to try out their PVP CC in CC and Frontline?

I don't know if all the things about warrior being the fifth healer is true or very partial... Recently some warrior soloed the first current raid boss after studying it for 8 hours. A paladin saw this, just hoped in and soloed the first boss too... Then the second one too. I saw both videos, the healing potential of the warrior was way under the paladin's one...

if we have to pick a downside, I would say the simplicity. Yeah it's good for begginers but it's really REALLY barebones and after a time, tiring

Im going to guess that its 100 gauge and 3 stacks of Inner Release?

What is the site he is useing at 5:07..?

Fell cleave!!! :)

I miss Butcher’s Block.

wait, you need reasons to pick up an axe? how could you not like WAR gameplay? ;)

I like warr game play but dislike the glam, like paladin glam but like Warr game play better rip

Real tanks use blades, like swords, greatswords or gunblades. :p

Pushing biased warrior agenda in pvp once again zzzZ

why man? not only men play this lol

dont you dare ever touch it square!!!
