Warrior and AoE
Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2026 5:55 am
Since the suggestions forum is locked, I’ll write here.
I have a rather bold request and a question:
1) Why doesn't the Warrior have any AoE (Area of Effect) damage abilities?
I'm talking about tanking here: "Stomp" deals 50 damage to 4 targets, and "Sweeping Strikes" hits 2 targets... and that's it. No damage, no threat—just useless skills.
2) Could this be fixed or improved? For example, by adding more targets for "Cleave" or removing the target limit for "Stomp"? Or perhaps by adopting the mechanic from the current version of the game: you apply a bleed effect to a single target, then use "Stomp," and the effect spreads to all hit enemies.
3)The point is, I envy and hate paladins who have a million AoE with no target cap—it’s just not fair. A million AoE, a million threat—it’s really frustrating and stupid. It’s the same story with shamans and druids; everyone has tons of AoE, except for warriors.
QUESTION: Do you plan to change anything in this regard, or will everything stay the same—meaning I just need to get the hell out of here?
I’d appreciate any response—yes, no, "we'll think about it," etc.
Sincerely,
Frodo Baggins,
