Warlord defense is just too high | Forums

[AcheesyTURTLE]

I want to stress this isn't a nerf thread. Warlords move set is perfect, hyper armor and all, but his hp pool + defense feats make him nigh unkillable. Don't even get me started on 4v4 with multiple warlords on a team, it's basically a guaranteed win. Not due to the skill of the players involved but a fight with a high level warlord takes long enough to poke him to death but another joins the fight and it's basically an immediate loss. He legitimately has the ability to tank everything until a teammate shows up or you yourself are poked to death. I'm open to criticism as I don't play warlord, if any Viking mains want to weigh in.

I don't get it. I'm just saying he has feats that boost his hp/def to extremely high levels to the point that he can't be beaten. His move set alone makes him high tier, why exacerbate the fact?

I was implying that you are missing the point that is what he is MEANT to do.


A heavy's job is to hold down the fort until help arrives. A GREAT heavy can kick butt on his own, but the point of the class is merely to defend and aid his team. Not to be a 1 man army.


All 3 heavies follow this design. Its why they are so tanky and so turtley.

I understand that. What I'm staying is that multiple warlords on any team is death sentence for the opposite. He's a fantastic character, don't get me wrong, but his far superior ability to extend fights is just a little too much. Perhaps I'm playing the wrong class to counter but he's just, for a lack of a better word, "OP".

Hello, I play as a warlord and rarely get any renown because I am a failure.
Please show me how to be more OP.

Full block, head butt , zone attack, call another warlord. GgEZ

[laugmanden]

I understood 50% of what you just told me.

I will start headbutting and calling more warlords to me. (What to do if I am only warlord around?)

[My.Insanity]

looks like all your problems are solved if you just kill the Warlord in early game so he cant get his feats?

Or did i miss the point too? If a Warlord use his (nearly only defensiv) feats why dont you use your offensiv feats to kill him?
