If you don’t have an anchor, the ship floats away

The only thing I could see is making it so using certain abilities stack sunder for free if used on a pve target. Wonder how much of a dps gain that would be.
Remove TG penalty until it becomes clear they’ll be OP without that nerf

The problem is any buff they need to do needs to be a pve buff and making it so damage is way different by adding a flat buff isn’t that solution. Buffing TG also doesnt buff arms, which would be a bit unfair if they did fury.
Blizzard has outright expressed fury is the anchor in this phase. You’re not going to get a buff you are exactly where you are meant to be power wise right now.
Later phases they might look into you if that changes but right now asking for buffs is not going to happen when you are exactly where you are meant to be as per blizzard themselves.
So no you don’t need a buff you are in fact the spec the LEAST likly to get a buff as you are the only spec they have outright stated are exactly where they want you, the anchor.
Blizz should be able to identify that warrior’s top dps spec being referred to by randoms as an “anchor” means it’s absolutely bottom tier. The fact another class with 2 other viable specs (including dps) was buffed should clue them in to the fact that warrior is undertuned a significant degree.
Buff fury warriors, or accept you have no idea what you’re doing Blizz.

playing on the last patch affected fury badly cus the 10% titans grip dmg reduction wasnt added untill late in the xpac when fury was doing great. having that penalty with low/mid gear and weapons, just doesnt make sense. But sadly warrior will not recieve any buffs . only nerfs as you have seen in the past. Blizz dont seem to be too keen on warriors

I actually think at this point the classic team is just inept. They can’t figure out how to balance warriors and so they don’t.

By not buffing warriors the Classic team can make sure warriors are not brought to raids outside of GDKPs. RMT and gold buying is the preferred play style of Classic. Notice how warriors tend to be the biggest whales in GDKPs? It’s by design.
Did they use the word “anchor” themselves?
They did not. But in this case I’d argue player perspective is more important, and given that term is now being used for warriors’ highest dps spec I’d think it was worth looking in to. Now that druid has had both dps specs buffed above both warrior dps specs.
So it’s a BS argument then from the anti-buff warrior crowd

Pretty much, but I don’t expect much else from paladins or druids at this point.

The only way to avoid this post making changes, that started with DK Gargoyle, was to either never make balance changes(good or bad) or to just open the game up for small progressive balance changes.

I was in favour of the former. But we now have two direct balance changes that aren’t bug specific. So the flood gates are opened on account of paladin whining.
Take a seat and quit giving your opinion, you’ve already been buffed and so your perspective is warped.
Ill step back then and let the warriors whine for now then I guess.
This. I just want WotLK the way it was originally, both the good and the bad.
