They tried, but did so in a way that made people even more angry.
So they tabled it.
I mean, that’s all just made up. Fury will be more middle of the pack before it even reaches ICC gear, and upper third with it, top few DPS with Shadowmourne.
It’s hardly a gloom and doon forecast for their DPS.
And still is post buff… And will be until fully decked out in ICC gear WITH a Shadowmourne and the buffs to get to mid tier DPS.
But oh man, that’s a slap in the face to everyone else.
You move out of 2nd to last in ToGC, and smoothly move up to mid pack as you approach ICC BiS, and jump to upper tiers with Shadowmourne… What’s wrong with any of that causing a need for an immediate buff?
Ret would literally be dead last in ICC without Shadowmourne had the buff not gone in… undead With Shadowmourne and the buff they got just get them to middle of the pack. The Sims already account for the fact that the targets are undead when looking at P4.
Ret was never going to be mid tier DPS without that buff, no matter how much gear they got… Because ret scales like crap.
but they kept the 20% dps boost slingshotting the high-utility hybrid class up to a tie for #1…
false information, also cant catch up to ferals lmao
not true, but if it was, thats fine
someone has to be last
should be ferals, or ret, or some other high utility hybrid. But the gap shouldnt be big. If all the high utility hybrids were within 5-10% dps, you could absolutely bring the player and the utility will make them desired.
the other major problem with warriors is the DEGREE that they are last. Warriors need a 26% dps increase to catch assassination rogues. It aint happening lol. They are scaling in parallel, so while the gap % of the overall gets smaller, the static 2k gap persists.
for a class that is alsmo 10/10th for utility, warriors damage is very undertuned with the current final patch. If the patch continued theyd have been buffed but since it was right at the end we then got Cataclysm and it was never repaired.
The big reason I felt good for Feral getting buffed is that they were busting their tuchus just to land bottom of the meters - that was awful.
But yeah, I just don’t like the (at least, perceived) preferential treatment. Warriors should not be so far behind, with only a 1000HP buff and an awkward ArPen button that hardly anyone uses to bridge the gap.
Some classes have problems with a talent tree. Warrior has a problem with the whole class.
warriors don’t need a damage buff, they need a raid buff. For example an improved shattering throw. It would keep class identity, and remove the stipulation that you have to sacrifice a role that would bring a raid-wide mechanic, instead of the “make more dmg plz”
This is just a “convenience” fix, you could already do this by desyncing weapon swing with macro. It just removes the need for macro now. no dps change for knowledgeable warriors.
Yup, had a light of hope when I heard some mentions of wotlk+ but not a single word since so it was obviously canned. GG classic when cata proves too hard for the casuals and the same EXACT cycle happened for o.g. wow.
give them battle rez and innervate, so they can be 20% behind ferals in damage but at least have their utility
in all seriousness, warriors need something. You cant have world first raid guilds like Beef Bar bringing 0 dps warriors to their raids and any logical person agreeing that warriors are in an okay state.
There’s like 5 people still playing guilded warriors and the rest are gdkp whales. Blizzard clearly doesn’t have the time or resources to balance around 5 people, especially when they’re apparently the most hated people in the wow community.
