I die very quick every BG, they hit me for 5000-7000 easy.
I see that I have 966 armor, reducing physical damage intake by 15.x% in BG, while in the open, the tooltip says reduce physical damage intake by 29.05%
IS it intended that we take more damage in PVP although we wear plate armor?
Armor means next to nothing in PvP due to the immense amounts of magic/poisons/bleeds that bypass that stat. Don’t rely on it for anything.
If you plan to PvP while leveling
If this is max level then
Keep your gear up to date - Do World bosses, easy gear caches and maybe some islands. PvP gearing is awful unless you’re winning rated matches and play at a high level.
Make a healer friend, cause you’re a warrior.
Learn to use cooldowns effectively
Learn to trade cooldowns.
If you’re Fury then Battle Trance should always be up
If you’re Arms then you need to learn to stance dance.
Always pick Storm Bolt.
If you are not level 120 you have reduced armor in PvP. This is true for all the plate classes. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if the plate armor rating is low at 111-119 but it is definitely the case for all plate wearers.
Even with gear maxxed you will get shredded. Arms warrior here. Ilvl 404. Less abilities compared to other classes and heavily require a healer to survive.
You can stay in defensive stance and survive for longer but that’s about it. There was a time plate armor actually did something.
I’d much rather try to help people rather than saying it’s all bad and the sky is falling. I’m not saying you’re wrong because Arms certainly needs some love but we could try to be a bit more helpful for the OP.
Everything I listed above are ways to help mitigate or avoid damage rather telling them that it’s bad and we suck.
That still doesn’t stop the fact that warrios are very reliant on teammates. Rogue and mage can easily carry a bad healer. Warriors can not. Your best option as a warrior is to pay close attention to healer cc. Use your leap defensively to los. There are vids by bagheera on youtube you can watch to improve your game too.
The best comps I’d recommend are boomy, dk, shaman, spriest and dk. Bm hunters were great b4 the nerf too.
ya but a punch and kick shouldnt be hitting me harder than a mortal strike hits someone in leather.
Those punches are from an iron fist martial artist. Our mortal strike is from a guy who doesn’t know the meaning of the word mortal.
This, surprisingly enough, made me laugh. Appreciate that.
yes because that word is very hard to understand? mortally wounded doesnt tickle for sigmars sake. how mortal strikes before the dude is mortally wounded? anyway you look at its straight up silly
Wasn’t there a time when execute would…execute? And I think if it did not it would refund rage or something
Yikes. Roll a natural 20 on that too?
Looks like a nat 1 to me.
Think tanks have reduced defensive stats in bgs as well.
Goes back to Ghostcrawler who didnt want to verse tanks in Bc.
They take more damage.
In TBC tanks did nearly zero damage. They were non-factors in PvP and it wasn’t until WOTLK that Prot Warriors became a PvP thing thanks to African Turtle Cleave and Armor Penetration.
No. It goes back to RBG’s being turtle fests until ridiculous flag debuffs stacked high enough to actually kill said tanks. Tanks were obnoxious in Legion right next to Sub Rogues with Crit shoulders and Fan of Knives Legendaries.
If I wasn’t being one-shot, from stealth, then I was fighting Bears and Blood DK’s and absolutely being helpless against them unless I brought an entire party.
Kind of like how arena is at the moment?
And shield block value stacking 50k shield slams were fun.
Not anymore… Healer mana regen got cut by 50% and I don’t think I had more than 1-2 10 minute games last season anyhow.
