Warriors are really fun right now but it’s kind of bummer when our so called execute is so weak I would like to see it hit hard again, it can never kill anything sometimes a disc priest death can kill someone with a 80kcrit, u see the damage

Execute still hits pretty friggin’ hard when it crits. It just doesn’t get the obscene amount of multipliers that MS has. Like 100k+ executes are not unheard of in pvp and that seems like plenty of damage.
The thing is that the high and low end of any ability are so vastly different. Especially execute which has a varying rage cost.
It can hit hard if u spam and ignore other abilities but that’s not worth it, it’s the lowest DPS under overpower that doesn’t kill I miss getting excited to get the enemy player low knowing you can execute for a chance to kill
There are many reasons that excute cannot be too strong in pvp. Warrior has healing reduction in both fury and arms. Multiple talents already enhance excute to extreme. Fury excute is even spammable. For your example, it’s also unfair to compair with priest’s word death. They also inflict self damage. And will hurt if failing to excute target. Slam needs rework, excute doesn’t.
you’ve got that backwards. Arms has execute with no cooldown via talents. Fury does not get spammable execute.
The thing about execute being spammable misunderstands how execute works. It costs up to 40 rage as arms (generates rage but has a cooldown as fury). You get MAYBE 2 full rage executes if you have a full rage bar, and then are either waiting on rage generation or hitting a minimum damage execute which is less damage than mortal strike.
Execute used to not have the rage cap, and it would just consume your entire rage bar for (often excessively) massive damage, and if it failed to finish your opponent you just kinda couldn’t do anything for a few seconds while you waited for another auto attack to generate rage.
Yes. Something nearly universal across all classes. Though I don’t see how having one tool should prevent you from having other tools. Rogues have a healing debuff. Should they not have stuns or blind? Destro locks have a healing debuff. Should they not have fear? The only difference is that warriors healing debuff used to be stronger and fewer other specs had access to it.

Yes I got that talent memory wrong. However, I don’t agree with your analogies. You mentioned that other classes have healing reduction too. You are not wrong. However, only ww monk reaches 50% effectiveness iirc. Ww monk so far cannot compete with arms on ladder at all, because of their serious survival issue. The main topic is about execute, the iconic warrior skill since wow launch. In time blizz added a lot of similar spells, but none is as spammable as execute. (Venthyer MM hunter may come close but not quite)MS and excute enhance each other so warrior(arms especially at 65% reduction with talent) remain the best execution class. You may not agree with my analysis but currently arms warrior is butchering ladder. I don’t believe blizz is happy about this, but warriors can enjoy the season, there is nothing wrong with it.

Execute still hits ok but is not main priority when it pops anymore. Buffed mortal strike still hits harder.

As fury my execute hits for less than bloodbath, making it a dps loss to use if both are up.

better nerf mortal strike
execute will generally crit harder in cds unless it’s double ep mortal strike
I guess this is the result of the cycle from when execute used to be pog to press, so blizz made it so we could press it more often, but then it had to be weaker for balance and here we are.

it’s a really dumb place to be, I prioritize Bloodbath and Rampage over execute, the only ability my set bonus effects
feels bad man
With the 4pc prioritizing execute is still mathematically a dps gain over not, if only by a few percentage points. Yes the bonus sucks, but technically still a gain
Arms execute without any Warbreaker or other buffs hits less than 30k on clothies in full Vers gear tested last week in RSS.
TOo weak to dump almost half our resources.
People should be informed about Execute used to be hitting entire player health pools at 20% in WoD as it should.
Execute has been buffed by 10% but Rampage is also buffed by 15%. Is it worth to use Execute now after the buff ?
Warrior
-
Fury
- Rampage damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
- Execute damage increased by 10% in PvP combat. Arms and Protection damage unchanged.
- Developers’ notes: Fury Warriors’ offensive pressure has been notably lower than we would like, so we’re increasing Rampage and Execute damage.
If you’ve got nothing else to push then yes, otherwise no.

Just a quick glance of the new Rampage Damage buff and (possibly) execute damage buff video.

Seems like the buff is so insignificant that it doesn’t do much for a good burst window. I am hoping our tier piece set bonus could either get a better damage buff than just 10% increase in PVP.
