September 3, 2021 Global Lab Patch Notes
We found that Warrior’s awakening skills had relatively low damage output despite their long cooldowns. This meant that after an Adventurer used several awakening skills, they’d have to resort to main weapon skills until their awakening skills came off of cooldown.
This prompted us to increase the attack range and damage of Warrior’s awakening skills and replace some of Warrior’s additional DP increase effects with effects more useful in combat.
The most notable changes concerned Warrior’s skill cancels. We took note of our Adventurers’ hopes to retain Warrior’s combat controls. So, we strengthened Warrior’s most popular Q and C skill cancels and adjusted his other skills accordingly. By doing so, we believe we have addressed the common perception that Warrior’s damage dealing was not up to expectations when certain skills were used, while maintaining the feel that Warrior has.
However, Adventurers that use Warrior may feel that he has become slower as some of the skills were changed to have longer motions. This was done so that we can keep to our ultimate goals: to improve both the functions and combat controls of Warrior’s skills. However, we are open to feedback, so please let us know what you think about these changes.
Moving forward, several main weapon Flow skills that were under-utilized were consolidated and reorganized. The effects of Flow skills learned prior have been integrated into Warrior’s main skills. Adventurers now need only to learn their main skills to use the Flow skills.
Succession Warrior's ability to fight against multiple enemies was also improved. Under-utilized skills such as War Cry and Frenzied Dash were given notable boosts. In addition, the PvP damage and attack range of Prime: Ground Smash and the attack range of Prime: Earth Tremor were increased significantly. Additionally, the pre-cast motions of Prime: Scars of Dusk and Prime: Counter were sped up to minimize his vulnerability if the attacks fail.
The issue where the skill Prime: Shield Strike was activated prior to the skills meant to activate before it when entering commands was fixed. In addition, the Stun effect applied when landing the final hit was changed to a Knockdown effect. Also, a preceding skill for Prime: Shield Strike was added that can combo off the last hit of Prime: Shield Strike to improve its combo capabilities.
Lastly, the attack range of Prime: Heavy Strike and the Energy Counter of the skill Counter were increased. Adventurers can expect a notable boost to the max hit ranges of these skills.

As a tank class, in term of group PVE, I wanna have my opinion raised as there should be taunting skill like [Crounching Wolf] of Striker to Warrior. I think with improved taunting mechanic this would make dungeon a very fun experiment.
What I got in mind was having [War Cry] of Warrior to the job, but because [War Cry] became a party utility skill that buff party DP, then we could use something else like [Ground Roar] or something...
The reboot was good enough, depend on how much FPS do you have? LMAO. but you know what is better than reboot GM? fix the FPS abuse first.
With Higher FPS, you got More DPS and More Speed (Attack and Movement). If those kinda stuff still exist in the game, it will be hard to made a conclusion which class is already balanced or which class is still overpowered. Specially Warrior, I've been playing this class for about almost 4 years now, and you know what made this class "Looks" overpowered? yes it is the FPS abuse, Warrior and Ninja is classes that got the highest benefit for FPS abuse because of their animation cancel based combo. If you can fix this issue, then we can talk about reboot or what ever you call it.
So, Please. Fix this FPS stuff FIRST
FPS = DPS Prove
Give us reckless blow SA Core
