It is crazy to me that Prot Warriors have such little defense against spell damage. A shield can block against a fireball just as easily as it can against a sword.
Warriors already have to deal with having the least amount of self healing in general, which is really stupid, imo. So, atleast let them be amazing at defending themselves.
In short, give Warriors better healing overall, or give Shield Block also a partial spell block.
Every tank is weak to magic.
And take less damage to compensate, as is intended.
The only ones who can block spells are paladin, when they take a talent for it.
It’s intended to be unique.
Use spell reflect more and prioritize ignore pain over shield block when fighting mostly casters.
Spell reflect should just give some flat spell damage reduction for 8 seconds or sonething
Does Ignore Pain reduce spell damage taken by 50% as well, or is it purely physical?
I know Barkskin for Druids does, and it reads much the same way as Ignore Pain.
I think Spell reflect should reflect all spells cast against you for a few seconds, rather than only one spell.
Give me a 5 sec buff that raises up my shield and blocks/redirects/reflects/absorbs all spells that hit me in that window.
yeah like 2 spell reflects plus a team reflect plus reduced damage from spell on spell reflect isn’t enough?
are you high?
yeah because you guys have unbelievably good sustained damage, great burst, and some of the best defensives in the game. (ignore pain anyone? an OFF the GCD hp shield that costs rage? Thats insanely strong)
No sorry. You don’t get more toys, if anything warriors need some nerfs.
/cast spell reflect
/DPS 1 kicks Lotus
/reflects 6000 damage and loses 20% DR
spell reflect on CD
eat 15000 in the face
that woul;d be INSANELY overpowered holy crap.
Yeah just pop a trinket right as the Gpyro/combust combo is going off right?
That would make warriors virtually UNKILLABLE by caster comps.
Every time you get him low he pops spell reflect, and now his healer has a free 5 seconds to top him off? That would be insanely broken if combined into the warriors already-loaded kit.
Wha…what…how?
Well, they could change it for pvp. A lot of spells work differently against players.
I’m talking mainly for pve.
I’m still trying to figure out where my second spell reflection is at or why this classic player is talking about PvP when we’re talking about Protection Warrior.
well ok its not ENTIRELY 2 but, overwatch + intervene.
Also, my bad. PvE exists. totally forgot LOL
Alright, cool bro, yeah, I’m not even sure Overwatch is supposed to do that as the tooltip doesn’t say.
But that’s more to do with Overwatch and less to do with anything we’re talking about, which is PvE.
yah ok that makes sense.
Honeslty when it comes to PvE like… frickin’ just buff everyone out the ears once the Mythic race is over. Who cares right, like let the players feel powerful.
basically it gives ur intervene target spell reflect. its insanely good
But ur right, PvE my bad
Nah, I’m tracking that. Sorry, two ships in the night kind of thing.
It’s a PvP only talent like the spell absorb totem.
I can see your concern in PvP but this mostly only has to do with Prot warrior.
yeah didn’t realize this was a PvE thread muh bad
Nerfs? Prot Warrior is the squishiest tank in the game right now. Lol
