Heroic throw buff please

This post isn’t about any of the countless potential changes arms warriors could use. This is merely about heroic throw.

Does anyone else think that heroic throw should do something? A little bit of white damage is not heroic. What we have now is Pitiful Throw.

Given the current iteration of arms warriors being more bleed focused I think Heroic Throw should apply deep wounds. When’s the last time someone threw a huge two handed weapon at you and you didn’t bleed from a deep wound?

If you really want to get crazy, you could make a PVP talent that adds a slow effect.

People heroically throw items at other people with expectations. I’m not asking for it to summon Deathwing and consume Azeroth every 6 seconds. But something! Something more, something better!

Remember when people knew that Heroic Throw was exclusively for ranged pull utility, and not intended to cause big damage?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Yesterday. They missed.

In all seriousness it used to have a silence on it so you could move caster mobs around/make mages rage. I miss that.

Remember when warriors were able to utilize ranged weapons for the same thing and didnt need a useless ability? I think that was much better.

That didn’t really feel good. You went looking for the 1 tank gun there was and had to carry ammo so you could right click something with your stat stick. Heroic throw with a silence was a much better option.

I preferred the gun because I could deal some pretty savage damage with it in PVP as a finisher if someone had just barely managed to get away and intercept was on CD. And you didnt need any specific gun. Just get the one with the highest damage tbh.

Some of the guys i used to fight used to complain about the “ranged execute” lmao.

Heroic Throw was added for the sole purpose of giving us a ranged ability for pulling. Eventually they tacked Shattering Throw onto it for PvP use, and a silence via Gag Order, but its main purpose has always been to generate threat from afar.

It would be really nice if it had a silence on it for pulling casters.

I like Heroic Throw as is. It perfectly mimics what throwing a big weapon in real life is like. A feat of impressive strength that is nontheless completely ineffective and only pisses your target off.

I miss gag order for the ranged interrupts and shattering throw for busting ice block/bubble.

Would love to have one or both of them back but highly doubt we see either return.

They should add heroic throw to sharpen blade to give it the imp ms effect if no vulnerabilities and shattering throw effect if there are.

But they won’t because they don’t like to give warriors nice things.

I’d be all for tank guns again

With customisable bullets from engy for silence, slow etc

I may have mentioned this before

Heroic Throw needs more power or effects. Small white damage is laughable especially in today’s WoW where everyclass can almost do everything… except Warriors.

Yep.

Give it a 3sec silence + Deep Wounds or a slow.

:orange_heart:

They should give us “greater heroic throw” - does 35% of targets damage, 4 second cast time reduced by haste, no cooldown.

Wouldn’t be overpowered at all. At all.

I don’t really care if it had a silence applied to it again or not, I just wish they still let it break magic bubbles. That was such great utility, and it was always hilarious to catch out a paladin mid-bubble hearth.

Actually, thinking about it, I think I would be satisfied if the actual hit of the heroic throw wasn’t reliant on the animation completing. I can think of so many times i’ve Run up on a rare spawn or quest monster that was just about to die and I’ve just gotten in range for heroic throw and -

My weapon sails through the air.

There is a meaty thwack letting me know it hit.

And the mob does without me getting credit because the animation didn’t have time to complete before he croaked.

I’d take a gun and having to lug around ammo if something would just be shot when I shoot it.

You just added more depth and thought process to the warrior class than blizzard ever could.

Heroic throw should be less capable on Arms, even though I like Arms as an alternative spec. On Prot it’s obviously an incredible ability due to its changes between them.

What do you propose? Just a damage buff?
