Buff prot warrior

PVP Arenas
1

We need better buffs to beat the competition of bears and veng dh’s

we lack in survivability and also defensives

when bears can shrug off insane amounts of damage phys and magical but a warrior with a shield cant… yea its a problem

we need a talent that gives us flat magic mitigation or something other than a 1.5 min useless talent that just blocks (rng based defensive btw l m f a o)

we need shield slam buffs 25%

we also need revenge buffed. its legit useless pressing it when ignore pain does its job way better and isnt affected by GCD

Uh, if they don’t mirror tank matchups in Blitz I could see a few of the specs getting adjustments because bear versus prot warr is gonna cause some issues. :dracthyr_a1:

ye brew masters need some love too

this is a bear and dh nerf thread as well

I fought a prot warrior in skirmish with my blood dk. He never got me below 90 percent. I dont know if that means they need buffs but he wasnt doing much and his health would drop fast.

I feel like this could maybe go in favor of the warr. :dracthyr_comfy_sip: Blood out here heart striking for like 5k damage.

they might HS for 5k dmg but kidnapping a healer is all it takes to break em

Honestly pretty hard to do this in shuffle.

In BGs you can always drag somebody away from flags but arenas are small and people just have to move to fight near their healer or something.

I heart strike for about 20k and death strike for 40k plus, often higher.

I’ve been experimenting with blood in shuffle. Maybe i just got lucky but i was top damage in the second game and was able to lock down casters and peel melee. Played well, i feel like a bdk could be really good with a specific team in 3s.

Ive never been worried about a prot warrior but ive seen them do good dps sometimes.

I’d recommend Rune of Sanguination for the enhanced finishing power. :dracthyr_love_animated:

i agree just ban tanks in rated pvp outside of rbg’s

Maybe they’ll actually have to start balancing tanks in PvP

I wish tanks did have a better place in pvp. Maybe add some function to taunt for pvp and some protective utility.

Simple change is to have a taunt talent that acts like warrior Duel does.

16

That’d be cool.

17

out of all the things they need to fix in arena, tanks aint it

Prot Warr needs a Talent that gives them raw magic damage mitigation and makes Ignore Pain extra useful on magic. Potentially turns Ignore Pain into a snare clear too (because that’s what Druids do.)

Also, unnerf Dragon Charging while holding the flag. Maybe some kinda reduction makes sense, but we move like 5 yards.

And make Shield Bash an active spell again. It felt so good in the rotation. I hate waiting on globals. Devastator so much better than Devastate, so we need a new rage generator.

Spell Block kind of does this but it’s on a moderately long cd.

This would be cool. I think they’re gonna be terrible in Blitz.

I haven’t noticed too many empty globals for prot.
