I have a 393 Warrior and I cannot for the life of me get an invite for a key over 10.
And for heavens sake, I do Mythics on this Paladin for healing and the amount of straight trash DPS that gets invited is beyond comprehension.
What in the world is going on with the Warrior class for mythics? Tank or bust?
For some reason there seems to be a perception in the community that DPS Warriors are weak in mythic+. Lack of utility really hurts, and class stacking is never a good thing. With Prot being so strong, DPS Wars will suffer.
It would help if Fury / Arms got some sort of Bloodlust. Particularly for Fury it would make sense. Until then, tanking would be my recommendation for easy invites.
DPS warriors desperately need utility. If you got a lust, you’re in. If you got rocks and sticky buns, you’re in. Brez? Yes Please. Nobody gives a crap about anything else.
What a disappointing way to end the expansion with what should be my main. I’m going to have to level up an enhance shaman.
Also, as a healer I love Mythics with Fury Warriors. Very survivable if they follow mechanics. Don’t take much damage, heals themselves. Good AOE. Anyway, done venting.
My warrior is 373 or something and I can’t get invited either. So, I’ve just given up and decided to start doing my own keys.
I’m at 2600 rating and 411 ilvl. I very rarely get into a pug key even though I only get outdpsed in a key once in a blue moon.
When I set my group I avoid hunters and casters like the plague, most of them do little damage because they’re very bad players playing FOTM specs. For lust I like to have an enhancement shaman and brez usually the healer or tank to cover.
In my experience…it’s Tank or Bust.
I was getting invites to +13’s but a couple of weeks ago the affixs were melee cancer, since then I’ve pretty much given up on mythic’s, impossible to get a group.
Once the conquest changes happen I’ll probably try create 3/2 stacked warrior/shammy groups for speedy +1’s to farm Valor and items, there should be a lot more people running dungeons then.
Personally haven’t had a hard time getting invites, although I am significantly higher geared and higher IO the majority of other posters.
Forgive my ignorance - what conquest changes are you referring to?
Should have writen ‘valor’ changes, but both Valor and Conquest limits are removed in 10.0.7 so people will be able to farm as much as they like
I’m at iLvl 414 and 2700+ rating. It’s very hard to get invited to 20s, but I never had trouble for 17-19s. I picked up a WeakAura that lets me see the group comps before I apply, and part of the problem is that there is also a pretty high volume of DPS warriors. This isn’t too big of a barrier, but a lot of groups are reluctant to take a Prot and DPS warrior together, despite it not really mattering.
Ultimately, our poor utility is what sets us apart. We’d get more invites if Blizzard didn’t gut Drums back in Shadowlands, but they truly do not give a crap about M+ composition restrictions. We will always be behind any class that has Bloodlust or a Battle Res, and behind things like Rogues due to them having Tranq and Shroud, among also just being very strong.
What super useful utility do we bring? Protection used to have a magic dispel on Shield Slam but they took that out after WotLK or in WoD, iirc.
I tend to still struggle to get into anything above 15s. 10-15 are difficult but I get invites after lot of attempts, but 16+ its when it is decline-ville
Premade Group Filter addon has helped a lot. Shows you what classes are in the group already and you will frequently see groups that already have a dps warrior and groups that have one spot open by have no lust yet (guess what they’re waiting for). Also, groups with 2 melee already which may be looking for ranged.
It’s cut down on me feeling like I’m just applying to all sorts of random things and applying with some knowledge of if I’d fit into the group comp.
Also 393 isn’t very high and 10-11 is really your range atm with all the people that have higher ilvl.
I often take a hit to dps (typically giving up uproar and one point in the crit talent) to pick up shockwave, it makes a world of difference in some dungeons (like Azure Vault, Nokud), so if I’m taking a melee slot and they don’t have AoE stops covered, then I take it upon myself to help fill that role. I’m usually top dps either way so arms gang rise up.
Ah very cool. Thanks!
This makes no sense to me. At 10-11 the gear drop is 392’s mythics. I need 1400+ to valor climb them to 402, but I need to do multiple mythics over 10+ to get that rating in order to valor climb…which I would do 0 or 2 keys at any rate. And there’s a cap currently.
What the holy heck do you expect? If I needed higher gear to do 11 12 13, then the other keys would drop said gear.
This progression system makes zero sense if what you’re saying is correct. Edit: And clearly is designed to reward sweats who raced to higher keys from season launch. And closed the door behind them.
It’s harder as a warrior dps but it’s doable.
I got to 394 ilevel and almost 1900 io in less than a week.
The way I did it was to start with all the +2 mythic dungeons first, then 3s and just keep going to build your ilevel and io.
And yes you have to keep queing until someone invites, the worst I had was I got declined for 30 minutes straights and took a break.
There are no short cuts for us since we don’t bring lust or battle rez but it’s doable.
I’ve been queuing for 6 hours straight today. After hundreds of rejections… I ran my own +20 key. Tank pulled 2 packs then nobody interrupted. Everyone left after one wipe. My key went to +19 after a minute. I’m at 415 and 2600… I haven’t been able to get into a single +20 group which I need. I know I got more than 5000 declines this season alone minimum. The game sucks.
Guildie: “because you are a warrior”
I’m 416ilvl and 2800io and still have trouble getting into keys. You must be blessed.
as a ilvl 382 fury warrior I didn’t get any invite to the weekly quest this week (4 m0) had to switch to port. My advice form your own group. I was just too lazy to do it.
I am sorry no warrior should not get lust unless is in the dps tree as a talent only.
Port warrior is already very very OP give them lust? Mind as well delete all other tank spec then.
