FFS blizz this is why no one takes you guys seriously anymore as devs whoever thought hey this is a good idea let pitch this and see if they approve it and they did just shows that the people working on the balancing don’t play warrior.
At this point i need to ask does every dev just play pally and mages because my god how is stuff like this aloud to get through even the pitchs this isn’t going to put us above augment or if it does it will be just barely above them.
Meanwhile we are still target capped which i need to ask WHY???
At this point in time why are target caps still a thing most classes have had theirs removed and just put in a reduce dmg above five-eight targets or just had them removed but nope warriors need their caps can’t let them have anyfun.
Blizz seriously you have access to mounds of data as you keep telling us you do but you always miss the mark and now you give us this as to say were sorry, i’m getting massive south park oil company level sarcasm being spilled levels of how much you seem to care about us.
I really like AM playstyle as Fury. It’s fun just always having it, but Recklessness feels pretty bad as a cooldown right now. The 2 capstone talents below RA / AM choice node are terrible, borderline unpickable.
AM would be playable in M+ if we had the torment effect that activates a mini Bladestorm when you press Reck - basically the Shadowlands fury playstyle minus the whirlwind spam.
These buffs do almost nothing for the RA fury build that is played right now. It’s definitely not compensation for the aoe nerfs and not even close to compensation for the proposed target cap nerfs.
The balance team needs to have some changes. It’s very obvious they hate Warrior DPS. We’re already underperforming and we get hit with such insane nerfs that Fury and Arms both are going to be the worse specs in the game.
nerfing fury ST when its below the support spec. Plus poor arms catching the strays because they’re nerfing the hero talents for some reason. Blizzard, seriously, look into whoever is doing these changes. Can em.
I don’t think they ‘hate’, its probably more accurate to say the person responsible don’t really care. Its just a work task they have to do because their manager told them to.
Its pretty clear to anyone who have a modest understanding of warrior or any other spec dps, these people don’t. There is no way they can be this bad at tuning gameplay every tier. Either you are incompetent or lazy. Most likely both.
You really might be on to something in the “don’t really care” aspect. It’s almost like an intern was told to watch dps meters in raid and nerf whatever appears to be doing extremely well.
That would work if they actually did that. They just murdered fury. There are clearly specs that have dominated for way longer than a week that arent touched, cough cough Enchance.
There is a few changes across the years - not just related to class balance - that rly makes me believe some of then are with the purpose to piss off a few players
I know we can’t always assume malice, by the cynical in me see some changes and i can only think they are giving big middle finger and one “this is what you get for complaining”
Because their MO as of Shadowlands is to completely misunderstand the merits of classic and retail, and to bring back vestigial crap from the former that worked fine at the time but has no place in the latter.
It’s why we have target caps back, and it’s why we have stances back.
I mean, they’ve had it out for us ever since their failed war on flying. Remember the completely unnecessary change to Zaralek Cavern rares. A change that could only be explained as one made of spite.
I am actually kinda baffled that they mention buffing Fury ST while also indirectly making RA worse which is our Sustain talent, If AM becomes better again we become even more uptime reliant which I honestly do not want to see again.
