[C9] Webzen Note - Warrior Reworked

Webzen Note

Greetings
C9 Actionists,

With the addition of new continents, the warrior class has become fairly incompetent. Their lack of action skills, lengthy cooldowns and awkward combos interrupt the flow of combat and make it difficult for warriors to stay competitive versus other classes. This is why warrior has been suggested by many players as a class which requires intensive reworking.
In the upcoming update, warrior’s skills and their combos will be reworked to make them more effective during combat. However, we stayed away from making changes to style as warriors are one of the original classes of C9 and we wanted to keep their uniqueness intact.

Check out the details below.
