Was thinking yesterday what the best ways warriors could be nerfed. An easy damage nerf wont solve it tbh so heres my ideas
First one is the best and imo shouldve been done a long time ago.
Make Defensive Stance also reduce rage generation by 50%. Huge damage nerf to warriors riding D all game and they cant spam ignore pain while sitting. It encourages stance swapping. Not bad?
Or just nerf ignore pain duration. Make it only last 6 seconds would also be a good change. Currently it lasts the entire cooldown allowing you to keep ignore pain up all game if you wanted. With how much rage we have this expansion, youre not punished at all for doing so.
Warrior damage is pretty nuts but im extremely bias to nerfing my damage (obviously). Although, i would be fine if they nerf other classes the same time as they nerf warrior damage. Ww damage, triune, rdruid, prot paladin ect.
Thank you for reading, have a good day at work. Or your poop session because i know thats the only times we look on the forums

You know how blizzard nerf things Mud, they’ll look at Dstance, see that it reduces damage done, and they’ll nerf that.

Make it so dstance reduces damage by 20% instead of 10 like it used too and make it so you can’t go into dstance unless you have a shield equipped

This is already a thing. Its 20/20 in pvp.

They’ve tried this many times and it keeps failing. Warriors sit D all game with no punishment so they keep resetting it back to 20/20.
I can get behind this…

I agree 100% about only checking forums while pooping. See y’all later about to wipe and get back to work.
They need to revert the armor nerfs of 9.1.
Why does my leather armor mitigate 20% in PvE but when I’m in PvP it mitigates 14%?
Literally dumb and makes no sense.
This won’t 100% fix the damage issue, but it’ll go a long way in chilling the melee dominance a bit.
What if they just rework defensive stance? They could make it like a guardian druids bear form and give a whole new range of abilities!
Warriors could get shield slam interrupt/ purge back, last stand, and much more rather than a 20% damage reduction.
I ban level 10s from my forum post. Go away troll

So you’ll just nerf Arms/WW/Enh damage a bit.
Dh is mainly chaos damage, ret is holy, sub just negate your armor anyway, assa and ferals are bleeds/poison damage which isnt reduced by armor, frost is mainly frost dmg, and killing machine transform their obliterate to frost damage. Survival main damage is nature and fire.
Bm and unholy would be affected aswell since it’s pet damage being physical damage.
So you’re just nerfing auto attack or attacks that deals already close to negligeable damage.
You literally quoted me saying “This won’t 100% fix the damage issue, but it’ll go a long way in chilling the melee dominance a bit.” then proceeded to give an example that validates the quote you quoted…
Thanks for agreeing with me?
Guess you can’t read then.
I said 6melee specs won’t be affected
and 4 melee specs will be affected.
And 2 ranged spec will be affected.
And among the 4 melee specs that will be affected, one of them is barely played, AKA, unholy.
Guess you can’t read then cuz I said
Why even bring the armor thing up when it’s among the last thing that would fix the damage issue lmao.
You could’ve said a million things better like the crit damage being at 175%
The potency of burst cooldown
The multi-layering of systems to create absurd amount of damage multiplier
Putting ignore pain on the gcd would be a good start too.
It’s so weird how you’re fixated one one small change that would help alleviate melee dominance. Kinda cringe
Guess you’re kinda stupid to think Blizz will overhaul a whole change they’ve done for pve reasons to accomodate pvp lol.
Every expansion has been the same pattern over and over again, Melee dominance in the first 2 seasons, and then in the last 2 seasons it’s wizards cleave bermuda triangle cleave being dominant. Just wait lol
