Hot take (NSFW for warrior devs)

Nice. If i did not miss playing my DK I would be warrior colossus now as well. I plan to level one eventually. I am very interested in the Demolish skill. It seems very powerful. Does it feel powerful and impactful to press?

Dh literally has nothing. Not even the option to talent into something like bitter immunity (i know it sucks to take it, but still). DH’s also dont have a “press this for an instant heal” button like impending victory. You also cant be a dwarf dh to racial the debuff off. Having an affix where some specs just have to sit there and wait for someone else to do it for them isnt fun. I dont know why blizzard put this one in at the last minute in beta and ignored the overwhelming feedback of “just undo that, please”

It can, but it can also fall flat. You’re rooted in place mostly when you channel Demolish. So if the tank runs away with the mobs, you lose out on the last big hit.

In terms of raid colossus is slightly behind, but in keys committing to a full cleave build and playing around it, it’s on par with and can do more overall damage than slayer.

It’s got very frequent burst windows with both demolish and collateral damage, so monkey brain activates quite frequently.
I also prefer the damage profile being somewhat more in my control for priority targets, add spawns or vuln phases (skarmorak, 1st mists, 1st siege).

It is quiet reliant on a shaman buff though to feel smoother in keys, however you can still compete quiet well without it.

Demolish does have it’s flaws if your tank has ants in their pants or if you get caught with an aoe during your channel, but this can be reacted to with smart min range leaps and still landing all 3 strikes.
