Warrior Priest small change.

[Cullenn]

Hello, i'd like to ask the community opinion on Warrior Priest overall, i've been playing with it for a while and i believe healer/book WP is fine, however 2h and Shield definetly need some help, there are many posts already on shield so i'd like to just make a request regarding 2h WP, i think since the speed buff from unstoppable wrath and snare from judgment have been removed, this class is really hard to play with in small scale (not sc), and roaming, since it is easily kitted, even DoK has the snare from his damage aura and i only wanted to ask something similar especially for duo, trio, every class has a way to catch ranged dps and i think its fair WP has something similar has well, because currently i think it is very unfair for this class to not be able to caught on rangeds when DoK has the Covenant of Celerity which can proc slow. Thank you for reading it, and i hope you devs undertand my point of view on this matter.

I never understood why the 20% slow was removed from Judgement.

I think every MDPS class has either a sprint, a pounce, or both. WP does not have a sprint, but it could use that slow as a kind of “reverse sprint,” where instead of you moving faster to reach the opponent, you slowed them down so you could catch them.

Meh, quick escape and improved flee exist. It's clear that wp/DoK have had an insane amount of dev attention with the invention and itemization of shield spec. Personally I think their attention is better spent elsewhere.

Snares have been nerfed into the planet's core at this point. We need fewer gap closers, not more.

Really? Do you even play with the class, destro plays with alot of dps magus, squig, shaman, zealot, and in your point of view we must be just walking target dummies and not have a a way to close gap like WL, mara, slayer, etc? even we is the best dps, tank healer right now. Why would you be against it at all?

Unfortunately WP wrath will always remain a ''sitting duck''. The devs were adviced by many to give WP wrath a basic gap closer ability prior to the healer Patch rework but nothing happened.

You may refer to my old thread about the very same topic.

The best you could hope for in small scale is to 1) never roam alone, always with at least a guard buddy and 2) equip the CnT weapon with slow proc but that may no longer be viable after the recent weapon nerf which ruined sentinel weapons.

I see, thank you for the words mate, maybe i just quit after devs ruined the class, any builds you recommend for solo roaming?

Flee was never an option for WP since it drains not only their Action Points but also the entire Righteous Fury bar. Flee is therefore a ''death sentence'' on this class. Other melee classes can use Flee(even improved) and shrug Action potions and close the gap that way, WP cannot.

Fewer gap closers? How about we point fingers at the right classes and not the one class in the game without a single gap closer? For example Witch elves that just had 2 x pounce added to their already insane toolkit.

I wouldn't recommend it, however if you have to do it then resort to ambush tactics and melee fights only. Never expose yourself in the open to be abused by rdps/dps healers. Preferably find a tank friend and duo roam ( kotbs or IB imho) although you would still be easily kitable the extra defence will make it more viable.

As for as build goes, there isn't much variety tbh. Standard wrath build 9/13 or you could try a ''Benediction'' build with a +2 WL build in end game. RoR.builders - Warrior Priest
