I think this is to say that warriors rely on preps than empowered classes, but less so than most magi. Most classes could theoretically compete, but you would see either a lot more posturing, or a lot more dying when a huge chunk of damage reduction leaves the game.


Ultimately, I don't think that turning off preps breaks the game completely, but it would require a lot of rebalancing if we were really trying to get it right. In any case, it's not like there's a horde of deathful healers, shamans and paladins out there. They could use a golden age :)
