i just feel weak instead of a beast!
Do warriors have short term memory or dementia?
You guys scale with gear, you always suck at the start of a phase.
Youre in the hyperbolic time chamber cultivating mass right now.
You guys will be top in a few resets
One of the problems about this though is that the start of the phases are the most important times, for pve and pvp.
I don’t think it sucks, personally. It’s a slot machine. Sometimes I pop off and get a ton of Windfury procs / crits and do 500 DPS. Sometimes I get no procs / crits and do 150 DPS. That’s the way Warrior has always been, really.
As the phase rolls on and we get geared up it’ll get better.
level 50 going to feel amazing in…May.
In fairness, I am an absolute monster in PvP. Warbringer rune has made the class really, really strong. If I don’t get insta-gibbed by ranged DPS and my healer actually has time to heal me, I can kill an entire team of people and there’s not much they can do about it. The traditional CC chain on the Warrior doesn’t work so well anymore. We’re nearly unstoppable.
We’re Warriors, we don’t know what those words mean.
But yes I believe everyone forgets this
This is normal. They need raid gear to start performing to their true potential. This is the case in classic even in SoD.
Nothing new here
I don’t even care. You should play warrior because you love warrior; not because of how it performs.
I think my alt this phase will probably be warrior. I’m looking longterm. I heard about gladiator stance becoming a thing at higher levels so that’s what I’m hyped to play and will be putting my effort towards. I think warrior is my favorite class. Feels so good.
Anyway ya have fun.
Here come all the comments like…oh you will be great once you get your gear…BS, warriors still going to be weak.
Well because it’s true, who are you to think otherwise?
I mean, warriors did eat a nerf or two in phase 2. Really shouldnt ignore that.
Yeah. The Consumed by Rage nerf feels particularly bad IMO. The playstyle already felt clunky and bad - having to reach and then maintain 80 rage all the time. Now that it’s only a 10% buff it doesn’t feel worth the hassle, honestly.
Personally, I’m finding arms decent to play at 40, but prot is just awful. Rage generation is so poor even with lots of incoming damage.
Warrior will be fine. They always have the 80s action movie story arc where they start off weak but then become the hero at the end.
If you’re 2h at 40 it isn’t even worth. Frenzied Assault performs better.
One of Consumed by Rage’s biggest benefits in P1 was permanent uptime of Raging Blow.
But now Flagellation is just so much stronger that you don’t even use Raging Blow anymore.
