Making Warriors intentionally bad is not proper game design

You are realllllllly still not getting it are you?

The 25%+ rage gen increase (30% tip) seems like a lot, until you realize with the armor increase (discount) makes the total rage generated (tab cost) go down significantly.

Warriors (bartender) would rather have something like a 15% rage increase (20% tip) with no increased armor (discount) so that way the total amount of benefit is more.

In short, the 25% increase (30% tip) is marginal while the increased armor (discount) is present.

And you’re reeeally not getting it that without the rune there would be 0% tip. So 25% tip is better than 0%.

Does the word marginal mean 0%? Are you being dramatic now that you realize how dense you were above?

Also, i bet that bartender would have been happy with a $2 tip on that $8.50 tab, why cant warriors be happy about 2 more rage on an 8 rage swing?

youtuber said warrior bad so warrior bad :rage:

You’re just not reading at this point.

Becuase its not fun to play, and because copy pasting retail abilties/talents for every single rune… isn’t much season of discovery in that. Why are you so intent on defending blizzards bad and lazy decisions?

This thread is confusing, what I’m getting out of this thread is that we need to buff bartenders? Is that about the gist of it?

I don’t get it, Warriors are actually doing fine in the raid still. Just because they aren’t beating Melee Hunters doesn’t mean Warriors are “the worst dps”…like what is this crybaby mentality lol. Warriors don’t always need to be number 1 melee dps, they don’t always need to be number 1 dps in general.

Warriors are largely the same as they were in classic. The runes are mostly scaling stuff (weird because warriors scale so well already). The issue is everyone else has been turned up to 11. Their damage output is so fast and front heavy that warriors have no time build up rage to be effective in pvp. Same thing for trash packs in pve.

I would like to see a buff to blood rage or something of the like. Have it give more rage and on a shorter cooldown.

At 60 this is going to scale completely out of proportion as well. Warriors at 60 in SoD with all these Rage buffing Runes are going to be absolutely insane. I forsee them tweaking Rage mechanics in future phases.

Oh no a car is coming my way! Guess I’ll stand in it’s path.

Want to be top dog? Go to Era.

The skill ceiling for warriors is high this tier, you have about 10 active buttons you use on every single fight as part of a proper warrior dps rotation, and its a class that is exponential … so more dmg = more rage and more rage = more dmg, so buffs and consumables are essential to warriors doing acceptable dmg to be in raid. Id bet no one has more keybinds they’d actually use in their rotation…

The problem comes in that this is classic and most people don’t want to have to sweat that hard (I’m a masochist so I like doing 1000 obnoxious things) just to be able to contribute decently to a level 40 raid… You could play melee hunter and have a 2 button rotation and easily out perform a warrior.

The same goes for prot warriors

warrior rotation is too feast or famine for classic… You have the best warriors at the top way overperforming the class and most players who would normally be in the middle are now way underperforming

Warriors are already ramping up after 2 lockouts, they are doing fine, PVP in SoD has its own issues which affects not just Warriors. As for Wrath and ICC, clearly ret and feral buffs were unecessary.

instant slam is awesome. Warriors are wrecking in the BG’s Im in. Warriors are also top DPS in Gnomer right now.

What more do you want??

Warriors not #1 dps by 30+%?

“Why bloz hate warruz we suld be big top dps for zugz!”

It’s no use, OP. The anti-warrior hate here is much too strong. These people were bullied real bad in classic by some big mean warriors, and now warriors must suffer in SoD and every iteration of classic WoW going forward :expressionless:

Every legitimate complaint you have will be countered with “heh you’re just mad cuz u ain’t #1 parse loool” even if your complaints are all about PvP. nobody is actually reading or comprehending the information you are conveying. they just blindly respond with warrior hate.

Except Warriors are #2-3 in Gnomer right now per Warcraft logs in speed runs. Warriors are also monsters in PvP when backed by a healer - same as always.

So whats the complaining about?

That link shows top guilds doing speed runs. Warriors are doing top 3 damage in those runs.
