You would be shocked at how many warriors dont have tactical mastery or even spec for PVP at all.
As for zerk, you really can’t sit battle outside of dipping in to overpower, but sitting battle is super risky because they can gouge and reset you or blind and sap reset you because you can’t zerk the gouge or sap; nearly all rogues know this.
Fighting rogues that aren’t idiots is actually kinda an art, you gotta get them to play your game instead of playing theirs.
i mean my point was even if you’re pure fury dps spec you still take tac mastry no?
indeed they can but in my experience, cheap shot, kidney shot, gouge, cheap shot, kidney shot isn’t enoough to bring me down and if it’s 1v1 more often than not i have plenty have health left to kill them.
in my experience this video is 100% accurate https://youtu.be/vLfUF-i2ml8?si=k_x8zCaVPabtqJTf (or if you prefer looking it up yourself youtube user “wowitshard” video “classic rogue in ~1 minute”)
thats kind of the point, warriors can’t do anything on their own and must have a mandatory blessing of freedom and dispelling healer at a minimum to beat anyone
PvP Tier list is broken down into 3 main categories Battlegrounds (specifically competitive because we are ranking tier) - World PvP - Duels
Warriors are S tier in BGs. They just play a different role in AV which is much more tank leaning. Still god tier though. They are bottom tier in the world pvp and duel category. You are not discovering anything new, everybody knows this. And they still play warrior because its extremely fun. I play my warrior JUST FOR BG PvP which is MOST of the PvP I can even find lately. I have S tier world pvp duelists that I play too but world pvp isn’t even happening often enough for my preferences, the world is DEAD LATELY. When its super alive yeah I’ll be on my rogue/mage/hunter who are S tier in that specific category for what I’m trying to achieve.
By the way some secret vanilla wow tech for you for warrior vs mage. Scorpid surprise self poison (horde only recipe) or you can pull a mob, and then pop fap.
