I still think Warrior is going to be great, like a step below of Ranger.

I just wanted to pop in here regarding Resolute Technique.

Relevant patch notes for RT:

Players now gain +6 to Accuracy Rating per Level (previously +3), and each point of Dexterity now grants +6 to Accuracy Rating (previously +5).

The Accuracy Falloff penalty now linearly interpolates from 2 metres down to 12 metres. The maximum penalty being 90% less Accuracy Rating at distances of 9 metres or further. Previously there was no maximum and at 14 metres you had 100% less Accuracy Rating.

Lowered the growth on Monster Evasion Rating with level. This results in level 80 monsters having 30% less Evasion Rating than before.

The Resolute Technique Keystone Passive Skill now grants Accuracy Rating is Doubled instead of Your Hits cannot be Evaded.

Currently a level 80 warrior and with just 30 Dex and no other modifiers would have 390 accuracy. Assuming the enemy has 3k evasion, the following would be the current chance to hit using the formula from Mobalytics and the new distance rules:

Distance Chance to Hit
2 meters 56.9%
3 meters 51.2%
7 meters 25.2%
9 meters 5.7%

With the accuracy changes from levels and Dex, this is the breakdown:

Distance Chance to Hit
2 meters 81.4%
3 meters 78.3%
7 meters 56.6%
9 meters 19.6%

With the support gem Precision:

2 meters 88.4%
3 meters 85.7%
7 meters 64.7%
9 meters 24.4%

With the implicit from a single Emerald Ring equipped in addition to Precision:

Distance Chance to Hit
2 meters 93.8%
3 meters 91.3%
7 meters 71.4%
9 meters 28.9%

With RT, Emerald Ring, and Precision:

Distance Chance to Hit
2 meters 100%
3 meters 100%
7 meters 91.0%
9 meters 46.9%

While RT was nerfed, the new calculations make the accuracy rating problem solvable, and more importantly, RT is now not required. There is a support gem called Far Reach that lowers the accuracy penalty by 80% at range, meaning that you can get to 100% chance to hit for most mobs at a range of 7m with a minimal accuracy investment, and RT would make it no accuracy investment to achieve this, and having 1 skill with always hits apply Blind to make all other skills always hit is possible. This is with 30 Dex, if you allocated an extra 20 Dex (in case you want to use more than 6 Dex supports) you would gain 120 base accuracy which with the new calculations is almost as much accuracy as using an Emerald Ring.

You can't look at a balance change through the lens of "they nerfed the only viable solve" when it's nerfed stat is still viable, and it's no longer the only viable way to solve the problem.

Could it be a net negative to warrior still? Sure. Is it now possible to fix in a way that doesn't make that Notable required to solve a problem? Yes, and that in my opinion is worth the change.

Look guys, its not that bad just use the support gem for accuracy.

Idk why you would want to worry about accuracy drop of at ranged when all the skills were nerfed enough for the range drop off to not matter.
