I Have a ton of alts so far 30 in shadowlands max level.
I Cannot for the life of me play a warrior, I cant figure out how the hell to keep my warrior alive playing arms. Victory rush isn’t cutting it for me.
ignore pain and die by the sword neither.
I feel like this is the only class that i just cannot work out the kinks. And horrible self heal.
even simple mobs, i struggle and this alt is like ilvl 176 so its not the worst.
How do you guys live??
Posting on your warrior would help so we could possibly give you a better answer.
My first thought instantly goes to: you probably need better gear.
But its also not the best. At 175 ilvl I was struggling with most mobs but once I hit 180. It got easier. Now at 200. I’m basically 2-3 shotting some mobs and its a lot easier to stay alive.
If you are leveling or doing world quests. I would recommend second wind as arms. It will keep you alive between packs. And you can easily kite to gain health back if it comes down to it.
I’ve not had a problem living unless I accidentally pull 6-7 mobs and have no cooldowns to burn them.
Sorry this is my warrior
Second Wind is a big help. No, it doesn’t help you during individual fights, but it means that you start every fight at full health. Between that and Victory Rush, it’s easy to go from pull to pull.
Thank you switching to that now.
That was one of the issues, was in between mobs i felt worse then a mage having to eat to get health.
See if that helps.
You can also go fury, which has much better self healing and about the same dps.
I found that with Second Wind, Arms does much better than Fury at low gear levels. Fury’s healing just doesn’t keep pace with what you need until you’re getting Victory Rush procs with more frequency.
Taking Impending Victory can help as well. I don’t love losing the extra mobility from Double Time but healing for 30% instead of 10% and being able to be used initially without killing a mob for the first time is nice for the tougher mobs
Victory Rush heals for 20% baseline, not 10%.
Odd, I wasn’t at PC so just looked it up on wowhead real quick. Though point still stands, extra 10% of your max health and don’t need to kill a mob to use it initially will help with survivability albeit at the cost of mobility
I leveled as fury, less DPS but super easy rotation and AoE. Fury also has a ton more self healing allowing you to go from mobs to mobs not needing heals.
Dont take storm bolt in pve world content. Take the 30 sec cd on our impending victory heal. You can use it on demand. 30% is good
Thanks guys, Night and day difference.
I also got a conduit that did something to victory rush as well.
Not in a rested place to switch to impending victory, but even without that.
I can now grab groups of mobs and feel way way stronger. TY helped alot !!
The key is to sing “staying alive” as you are kiting. It adds to the fun and makes your wife wonder wtf is happening in the man cave. Win/Win!
I can totally relate, my wife has asked some questions when I scream as I run for my life singing this song.
