RIP Vengeful ?

VB still retains goodies but with the mana buff gone, will it still be the hot favorite skill it was? What do you think?

i tried one go and well it does replenish mana.. hower with the new gear we hold more mana anyways

aswell as with the taunts.. really really not complaining...
just we need more skill now ,better timing. (:

As I said, we can renamed Vengeful by VengeNothing.

No manaa regen= scapegoat warrior in Pvp. We don't have a high damage and now we have a short regen mana for using defensive and low attack skill.

I posted this to the patch notes thread, but it is worth repeating here:

Try using a taunt skill after you hit Vengeful Blood. How it works is this:

Vengeful Blood puts a debuff on all nearby enemies that when they hit someone will give them health and mana. If you use a skill with a Taunt (like upgraded Windmill) all the mobs will hit you after Vengeful Blood and you'll get a lot of mana back! It can also help your friends too if they get hit.

Also note that the debuff in PvP is stronger (gives more mana/health) since you don't have the potential for the mobs like you do in PvE.

Respecs are free through Monday so try out some different builds and experiment!

[EDIT] thanks Sam

trying different things ...

**digitalbot** · 03-12-2013, 02:50 PM

wow awesome sam 'yes i have noticed this, i like it.. haha

This is a serious blow to VB. The mana boost was a key component to having an effective and powerful warrior able to use all his skills.

Given the current difficulty of elite mode minions and bosses we need this mana boost to effectively dish out our skills and damage effectively. Throw in our "tank" role and potting becomes increasing difficult not to mention expensive. Can't even HoR as much anymore which not only cripples the warrior, but entire parties as well that rely on it's healing and 2 brief seconds of invulnerability. This will affect the overall playability of the warrior. Who wants to play a character where you may be stuck normal attacking all the time?

I disagree with digitalbot on the gear balance. I'm wearing great gear (LVL 26 Legendary Will gear mind you) and the offset doesn't justify the use... especially with large mobs. For pure strength warriors, like myself, you will notice this immediately. My first go around in a normal run of Ancient Mariner Reef, with a party I found myself potting my mana ridiculously. Even when mobs were defeated I have to sit and wait for recharge and move forward. Again a blow to playability. It takes long enough to dig up a locked chest from an enemy let alone I shouldn't have to take pauses in the same stages for mana to recharge.

Bring back the mana buff, immediately... please.

Yes please... It's already so hard to spam pots. Now we trying to spam mana too

Come on guys, use the free respecs and try out some different builds. It's not so bad to put a few points into INT so you have some more mana to start with. Also, if you hit charged Vengeful Blood and then hit Charged Windmill into a group of mobs, not only will you lay down some nice damage (the Veng blood + is very nice) but you'll taunt them, take the hits, get the mana and keep your team rolling as they can lay down hurt into the mob without worry about agro (because you just taunted them all).

Adapt, improvise and overcome!

Also, Vengeful Blood gives more mana and health per hit in PvP, since you don't tend to get hit by so many targets as quickly there, so it should still be good in PvP. Of course this is a bit of a different type of skill and the first time we're doing something like this, so numbers might have to be adjusted. I really like the gameplay of it though, it rewards the Warrior for clever use of his skills. Before it was just kind of brain dead, use it every time it's off cooldown and you'll never run out of mana, not balanced or interesting.

... interesting but still quite a nerf.

Free respec is nice. It's obvious that STS sees this as a severe nerf to give players this opportunity, but realistically the warrior doesn't do enough damage, even after all the changes made for it in the last patch. Running elite's is already hard enough without this penalty. As for adapting etc... adapting to increased carpal tunnel syndrome isn't my idea of good gameplay

Honestly the warrior never running out of mana due to this skill is exactly as it should be since it's primary role isn't a magic user. Giving it the mana just allows it to keep attracting more enemies and holding them at bay while the high DMG/DPS players and hammer them down. This is just one of those things that should stay the way it is. It's not really broke, so don't fix it.

Bring back the mana buff!

**searchmeongoogle** · 03-12-2013, 06:10 PM

What a shame , it's really time to say goodbye , I'm off from here warriors has nothing to do in here anymore else u make a rogue .
