So this tier set absolutely gutted warrior specifically Fury. Bloodthirst is a very weak spell in general. Blizzard had to utilize our entire tier set to buff it and it still feels weak.
Secondly , the tier set forces us into Annihlator . Look at what we gave up for that . We gained Odyns fury, but we gave up Onslaught , we gave up Ravenger , and we lost Anger management , which kept our uptime almost 100% .
Now imagine if blizzard instead gave the buff to Raging blow. We would only trade Onslaught for Odyns Fury and warrior would actually be pretty meta and overall still get to keep its uptime . Yes with the set we would switch to reckless abandon still.
The raging blow build is so much more fun and efficient compared to this forced bloodthirsty/Bloodbath.
ALSO HTF DO WARRIORS GET INTO KEYS ON INCORPERAL WEAK. With raging blow we brought crazy damage , but with Bloodthirst we literally bring nothing anymore .
Also what is our offhand weapon doing if we’re pressing bloodthirsty and not raging blow

Oh hey, look at that, everyone. Yet another thread like mine about raid tier sets forcing you to pick talents you don’t like or use, thus exposing the hypocrisy of blizz about the entire talent tree system.
Huh. Shocker.

Tier should only affect baseline abilities. As long as it affects baseline untalented abilities its fine. Now doing your talents to minmax tier is another story

Still not as bad as paladins. And as for the Dracs…still very underpowered. Their new spec is D tier in many things now. All because Blizzard is afraid of adding in another powerful hero class after how many people complained about Demon Hunters and then did the same for DKs when Wrath first came out. So they had Evokers come into the game extremely weak. Them and pallies are doing worse than warriors are right now.
This only effects warriors in one small area of the game. New expac prepatch will be arriving soon. All your great gear will soon be made irrelevant.
Don’t Fury warriors have the simplest rotation in Retail?
If that excuse is used against BM Hunter all the time then why not for Fury Warrior?

Frost DKs have this too. Who the hell decided Chill Streak was the go to spell of the season?
are you completely out of your mind high? evokers are absolutely cracked
preservation and aug are insanely good, devastation is an abject failure, true but who cares about dps, that’s what real classes are for

It’s definitely a crappy thing to do to make new tier suck when comparing it to older sets then when players don’t want to use the new ones blizzard kills the old set to force players to change lol.
Maybe instead they should change the new sets not to suck!?! Eh blizzard???

Hunters have the simplest. But I don’t think Blizz themselves use that for why they nerf Hunter.
They’ve also nerfed Fury and before this season, it was mid AoE and dead last in single target. The legendary is propping it up a bit, just like it did for Hunter in SL.
I don’t know TBH. Fury is fairly simple. Arms is about the same. I’d say Warrior PvE rotation is about as simple as it gets.

It’s a simpler rotation but Hunter definitely beats it. I still have to generate rage and focus on leech sometimes. Don’t have to focus on resource at all with Hunter.
You do have to focus on a resource as a hunter, it’s called focus and I would argue that it’s harder to be optimal on focus than it is managing rage as a warrior. You never want to cap on focus but you also want to ensure that you always have enough focus for Kill Command as BM. On top of that you need to manage your stacks of frenzy from barbed shot.

I have a hunter and haven’t had to worry about focus at all.
But it doesn’t matter. It has nothing to do with balancing. Or Shadow Priest and Feral would not have had their struggles on the meters.
Blizz just has too many hands doing different things.
Nope that’s BM hunters.
No you don’t. The only thing you focus on as a hunter is managing barb shot which has been made braindead this tier. Azorthian is even in record saying this is the most braindead BM has ever been.
Fury may have simple buttons but it has a very high APM
Said it before, I’ll say it again, if a party doesn’t invite you cause you can’t do incorp, they’re a party best left alone.
