Disclaimer: I play a warrior so before anyone starts with, "that is all part of warrior strategy". I know what warrior strategy is.
I have been facing a lot of warriors lately who's main strategy seems to be to sit in one place and just spam parry, throwing in a dash or ww once in a great awhile. I can usually win these matches by catching them asleep or just being a better player, but it is the HEIGHT of annoying.
First of all the matches take forever so you rarely win by getting 3 kills, its usually 1 or 2 kills and win by being ahead when time ends. This really takes away from possible AP.
Also its just a bittch
@ss way to play, the arena is becoming less and less a fight to the finish and more and more outlast your opponent and play hide and seek for 2.5 mins.
It's really annoying just wanted to vent, grrrrr...

I've seen a *few* like that. But seriously, only a few. What GS level are you guys fighting at?
I think I only had one warrior playing as the cowardly monk... I laughed so hard I forgot to kill him. A few have been parry overdosing crazies, but there is quite a bit of unprotected time if your fight isn't lagging like crazy. Easy kills.
Parry is the only thing that gives a warrior a chance against a half-competent mage. There's no way to close the distance without getting slaughtered. I've had mages that were hitting me for 25% life with each normal freakin fireball. I've just about mastered sending orb bolts right back in their face though. Again, unless the fight is lagging like crazy... which most of my fights do.
Class: Warrior, 12591 GS

Or would you rather have warriors have a wide range slow like monk so when you're slow you get hit with a dash?
So let me ask what do you think warrior should have instead of parry then ?
It's not that they should remove parry. It is being abused. Why did they increase the cd on a mages ice blink? It was being abused.
Parry should not be able to be spammed. A warrior with no lag can parry just about all attacks. Huge defensive ability. I have said in other posts that warriors can stand in place in a pretty costly lightning orb and spam party and never get hit. They should not be able to do that.
Just like monk dodge should not be able to be a get away free card for any slow or stun.
Exactly, It's not only a huge defensive ability, it's a huge "offensive" ability too! and monks dodge can only get out of iceblink (i already posted about effects on dodge not any other stun/slow)
That's why people spam it.
you ppl make it sound so easy to parry
please don't forget that 90% players on pvp lags...
I have not pvp for 3 or 4 days... when I start pvp again today... the lag seems even getting worse
as you all mention above and know that you need good connection inorder to parry all atk...
again.. none of you can name one warrior that can parry all light orb atk...
I personally try it.. the most I can do is 2 or 3... but again the move is too risky and reward from it not great.
So I do not know which PRO warrior is so pro that can just parry all day and win.
I would like to know who so I can learn how he parry lag atk.
Would be ok with adding on a 2-3 second CD on warrior parry and monk roll also.
