The main issue with Atrius is he is working against the warrior community and is constantly losing. Some of these stupid exploit builds are blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain.
The use of a sledge hammer and not a scalpel is turning off a lot of people to this class. Automatically off top warrior dps needs to some way to account for these interrupts in these boss fights where range can essentially stand still and blast a boss while warrior have to stop and go..stop and go..stop and go.
Trion also needs to understand Champion was popular because you could single target and Aoe in one build. It was nowhere near the best ST, but we did not have to switch specs between trash pulls and bosses. Warrior tanking is a flat out joke right now and anyone watching any of the end game progression guilds cannot argue this.
The fucking logic behind these nerfs is simply retarded. Every other class gets some type of mini heal while leveling and soloing, but warriors can't? Like pulling only one mob is ok while my mage can own 3-4 mobs at once and come out at full health. You seen what clerics can do while soloing??
Trions main weak point since release has been class balancing. It took 120 servers down to like 20ish. I question if some of these devs play the game because you can sit there and see someone log off and quit the game on the spot from the frustration of the up and down. The give a shit attitude of Atrius has beyond gotten old.

26 page thread with 24,000 views and this is the only change after 5+ days of silence from Atrius. Talk about a fuck you to the warrior class. My decision to make my mage my main is reaffirmed yet again.
