These nerfs are ridiculous and unwarranted. For anyone thinking this is another ‘minor nerf’, they do add up. Playing a fury warrior, we don’t bring alot to keys which makes grouping incredibly difficult outside of guild groups.
Fury is very low on single target compared to other classes. Don’t sit there and keep nerfing AOE while adding NOTHING to single target. I’m still pissed about the last minute 3% nerf as well like wth?
Our mythic + damage overall is completely fine and is mostly on par with other classes. This will now make us even less favorable since those large pulls is where fury actually did something.
You are balancing our entire kit around a few specific raid encounters with easily killed adds
You continue to make changes to AOE damage but refuse to give any single target increase
I have been playing Fury since the beginning of this expansion. I would love to switch arms, but OH WAIT, you need an entirely different stat priority so I have to farm an entire offset. What is the point in having frost and fury warrior at the bottom of DPS on single target if you are then going to nerf their AOE capability in the first few weeks of the season. You are gutting the ONLY thing fury actually does. 3 weeks in a row of nerfs is complete BS.
This is the best and shortest summary of the issue. I made a post as well, basically saying the same thing.
The most recent nerf comes off as very tone-deaf, as if they don’t understand what the current strengths and weaknesses are for the spec. Fury is not particularly strong right now outside of one very niche damage profile.
It’s probably very close to the middle of the pack in terms of raw dps in an M+ type setting, but of course Warrior-tax means it doesn’t bring any useful utility. Like we got easier access to our AOE stop, but AOE stops are borderline useless with the stun/stop rework.
It’s pretty despair. They don’t like to balance Warrior very often and being that our trees got “reworked” for expansion launch I imagine it’s one of the classes that sits very low on the list of future reworks / overhauls.
I wish they would make some dev notes along with these changes just so we could understand their thought process with this change. Changing the target caps on major abilities is a really big change for them to make without explanation.
