Why is warrior getting nerfed?

Well if you wanted people to be hyped about something you would reveal it. Hiding it for secret implementation later tells me they aren't interested in revealing it because its a) not worthy of hype or b) They want you to be more excited about other things like deflection and/or hollow palm.

They certainly don't want people interested/hyped in regards to warrior.

Just saying, hey guys were planning on adding life on the passive tree. Would do wonders, I promise you there would be hype.

Isn't creating hype the point of the reveal?

I am not saying it is a nice idea to make partial patch notes. Just pointing that those ARE. So people need to keep that in mind.

Better question. Why warrior getting nerfed while Deadeye is buffed. This is so beyond incopetent and out of touch.

Urza, it doesn't matter. The fact that they haven't released the passive tree changes. Could be an indication that they're waiting to see what the public perception is. So that when they iterate on the patch notes they can adjust to what is perceived to be strong vs weak. Some of the points in these threads if they make sense they may call an audible on warrior/deadeye/life etc.

People need to give their feedback and leave it up to GGG to read it or take it into consideration. Warrior players can and should speak up right now.

Passive tree doesnt matter. Its not like it's going to magicaly change and start giving % health on many nodes. They give free fire to chaos converstion to mage meanwhile they give reduced AOE to warriors. Lmao. And you dont need to go far, Chinese players already said "dont play warrior" they already checked out passive tree.

Well there are some things going for warrior in this patch:

New flammability mechanic: makes 1h maces viable for ignite builds.

Blocking applies to all hits: great for shield skills. Resonating shield builds are a thing, though most if not all use the deepest tower. Still, most builds use deepest tower regardless of the main skill. So resonating shield may end up being stronger defensively in 0.3.

No CD for shield charge: if they don't nerf stomping ground too much on lower tiers (or all tiers), it's huge for leveling and makes shield charge builds way better. And again, blocking applies to all hits.

Armour applies to elemental damage: there are big problems with this one, but hey, it's still a buff.

Infernal cry: it's certainly a nerf for bossing, but we're getting more empowered attacks per IC and with magma barrier active, there's gonna be basically no CD. Sucks to have to use another button for clearing, but this may help 1h maces against white/blue mobs until you get a top dps mace.

Boneshatter still stronk. Well kinda nerfed with globally reduced AoE, but it should still clear trash very reliably even with a 1h mace.

But the feedback that they might listen is not the raging exagerated fully hyperbolic one. People need to point what EXACTLy and how they see as bad. They will simply ignore posts that sound like tantrum.

Some old grudge for melee from D2 times. Biased towards warrior archetype in comparison with bows and range overall is shamefully obvious in PoE2.

Low life helmet gone: Massive nerf
Infernal cry: Massive nerf
Magma Barrier with 8s cooldown: Massive nerf
Shield Charge: Massive nerf
Giant's Blood: Massive nerf

All while dex builds still have plenty of obviously OP stuff.
