Prot warrior needs a buff… a small buff like 5% to thane is not enough, we need at least something like 20% to get close to other tanks.
there is also the problem that some meme build that drop everything to make dmg will make some logs… that’s cuz our tree is not well balanced. A lot of dead talents, and we always have to sacrifice too much either on dmg or survavibility.
We also need more defensive buffs… warrior is supposed to take way less physcal dmg than other tanks… and we do, but everyone is getting armor buffs, DH got 30%, DK got 30%, paladin got armor buffs 2 times I belive —- that relationship is broken, warrior needs more armor, even if it’s not our weakpoint right now.
also execute is a joke… 20% buff on a talent that’s making less than 1% of our dmg is irrelevant.
Execute should feel heavy, even if doesnt add a lot of dmg to the overall, we should see a big number…
but we see what, a 40k crit?
Meanwhile, with all the buffs and procs a shield slam can hit 200k.
It’s cool tha shield slam can hit hard, but execute must do that too to feel like an execute… even if it comes with a CD or something like that so we can’t spam it.
If it gets too strong via Sudden Death, just reduce the proc rate, not the damage.
(also… bring back the venthyr execute animation, everyone loved this)
