Arms warrior should be the "Master" of all weapons

Classes Warrior

As the title says, arms warrior should be able to use any kind of weapons like shield, guns, bows and excel each one of them.

It would be fun if blizzard implements something like stances that warrior used to have. Each stances represents a weapon for example:

  1. Defensive stance - one handed weapon + shield(gladiator stance)
  2. Skirmisher stance - Bows/guns.(mainly for PVP)
  3. Offensive stance - The default 2 handed weapons dps as the current state.
  4. Phalanx stance - Polearms. (A very offensive stance with some trade off. It would be fun if warrior throw a spear as executener)

Each stances should replace at least 2 abilities like mortal strike and slam. Warrior can change stances depending the environment but the default stance should be offensive always (for dps)

This is a generic idea, if You like it, give some ideas about what abilities each stance should have

Its a cool Idea. I dont know if it would be able to be implimented with the mechanics of combat as they currently are but overall I agree arms has one of the weakest class fantasies they need to make it more distinct.

If they were to add stances back then I think some of them could act like an Aura effect where you chose your stance and an ability or two changes to accommodate that stance you are in. Last 20 sec, etc. Would be nice but I don’t see them doing this.

At least if you chose the Kyrian in Shadowlands I do believe they get an ability to throw a holy lance or some such ability. Hopefully they will make the animation look like we are actually throwing it.

Knowing how blizzard is, they will implement a Bolt animation haha

I don’t like the stances but I do like the idea of being able to use every weapon type. Especially I’d love to see an Equilibrium/Gun Kata combat style for warriors. Some sort of “point blank shooter” option where you fight in melee range with a gun shooting people directly in the face.

Before Classic came out, I was ok with Stance dancing coming back. After playing Classic, Stances can stay gone. I’d rather Arms function as a streamlined spec that’s fluid and fun to play, rather than requiring Warriors dance, dance, dance just to kill one mob.
