What usually defeats a Warrior in various MMORPGs?

[Deleted]

Hello MMO. I have a question for you, what usually defeats a Warrior in MMORPG games? Giving it that the classes that have existed in every MMORPG for at least 10 years now.

More suited for the Video Games General board.

Magic classes which stay at a distance, which are killed by sneakysneaks/archers, which are killed by warriors.

ye, magic classes or ranged, but warriors in general in rpg's are invincible lol
I don't know why i think this xD

Something that can attack from a distance, most commonly your mage and hunter/ranger types. Typically warriors/fighters obliterate anything they come in close quarters of.

this is why the magic users typically have shields (globe of invulneratability from DND for example) should their spells fail to keep the raging juggernaut that is bearing down on them at bay or outright defeat it, because if it ever gets to land any blows, they mage is going to be pushing up daisies.

This is why magic users are often referred to as glass cannons, they have ridiculous amounts of powerful spells, and a handful of defensive abilities, which if they fail or are broken through, the magic user is dead in short order. While the warrior type will take beating after beating in the process of getting to the caster, if they make it to their prey, they earned the kill.

It usually goes something like this:

Warrior beats Rogues
Rogue beast Mage
Mage beats Warrior

Rock, paper, scissors

That's a lot of bragging in your signature.

Don't believe everything in the interwebs

[Ineko]

That's a lot of bragging in your signature.

And why not? He's probably worked his ass off for every one of those. He has the right to "brag" as you call it. I'd prefer to say he's just proud of his achievements.

Anyway this is off-topic so I'll just stop there.

The truth is nothing should beat a warrior. Mages, shamans and all those other classes have never existed. That's why it really pisses me off that warriors in wow get the back seat to all those other make believe classes.

Lazy designers.

Lazy designers.

That and anyone capable of understanding the ins and outs of a particular game well enough to work around the rock paper scissors factor.

Ranged > Mele is the general rule

[Fencers]

A mage or classes able to bypass the defenses of a Warrior. Warriors typically have strong physical defense but poor magical defenses.

The classic model is: Warrior > Rogue > Mage > Warrior.

As each is designed in a manner against the goals/mechanics of the other.

The design isn't so much one of Warrior/Mage/Rogue. Fundamentally what the design concept revolves around is Sustain, Burst and Mitigation. These 3 aspects would be asymmetrical by course in almost all play systems desiring a mixed usage of roles/class or players.

I'd be damn proud of myself if i had all of that too.

Looks like this immediately sneaked in to a pvp question. Personally I think a team with good synergy of melee damage (burst) to force movement, ranged dps (sustained), and healing (mitigation) would be optimal and superior to any other.
Sadly thats never how it is
