Should we be asking for Warrior Nerfs?

Classes Warrior

Is there a time you wish that no warrior buff happened? I do. I am scared for resubbing because of the fact it will get nerfed because of buff.

63

No. Never. I play warrior nerfed, buffed, broken, fixed, pruned, gimped, gutted whatever it happens to be that week since 2008 because I love the class.

You should be scared that a video-game gives you fear lol but this gotta be bait

Yes, we should be asking for warrior nerfs. I have been playing warrior since 2004 and I am unsubbing if this injustice continues even though I already preordered Dragonflight.

65

My name is Rick McCranks and I main warrior Arms! for a couple of years now. I love this class, it’s my lifeblood, but I have many concerns going into dragonlands.

Right now, war has Aoe stun, aoe silence, single stuns, cc, big d dmg, aoe fear, uncapped damage. To me, none of this seems fair.

Don’t get me wrong, I love when the war are is super duper op, but I have lots of concern that war doesn’t take much skill to play right now. I’m worried that if it stays like this, were going to get nerfed for being such a strong class while not having much skill.

Also think about all the utility we can bring. Rogue? Monk? Paladin blessing of freedom doesnt matter. Nothing can compare to how much we warrior bring right now!

Warrior is so OP right now it’s silly. I am not sure what Blizzard is seeing, or why they are allowing it to continue, but its beyond silly at this point. I would love to see a response from a Dev.

I main a warrior and let me just say, wow… What a fun class. Not difficult to play but just fun, few buttons here and there. I do agree that we are OP at the moment. I wanted to touch upon why warriors were given the “brown” colour. Awkward.

69

I used to main a warrior and then I realized, I was playing such a privilaged class - same feeling as being white privilege you could say. So much damage for such a simple rotation.
Blizzard needs to be more inclusive with their class designs. Why does the brown class always gotta be on top? Anyway.

All others being the 7 specs currently performing worse then Fury in Sepulcher? All 5 at 95th Percentile?

Like I get this is a bait thread but at least make claims that are not so easily disproven.

71

I personally would like to see prot self healing either nerfed into the ground or removed entirely and replaced by some extra mitigation instead.

72

Ive been tanking on both Warrior and Pally and they are both fine. Both very viable. Warrior is definately not OP compared to pally. If you cant make a pally tank work just quit now, they are excellent.

73

I just saw a guide on Mobafire where prot warrior was the most overpowered spec.

74

And I bet that video is before the buffs Prot Paladin just got on 11/22 below. People need to stop trippin, all tank specs are viable. Saying Prot Warrior is OP is just inexperience. I would rather tank on my Prot Pally than my Prot Warrior. Prot warrior is very good, so it should be it’s a friggin tank. Prot Warrior was an absolute dumpster truck at the start of Shadowlands F tier, at least they seem to be starting this Xpac in a good spot. After those buffs Pally is going to be very good. All have pro’s and con’s.

  • Paladin
    • Protection
      • [With weekly restarts] Bulwark of Righteous Fury damage bonus reduced to 20% (was 30%).
      • [With weekly restarts] Judgment damage increased by 10%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Avenger’s Shield damage increased by 15%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Blessed Hammer damage increased by 10%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Crusader Strike damage increased by 10%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Hammer of the Righteous damage increased by 10%.

It’s mostly one person posting on multiple alts. Between names /post counts/ guild names you can see it. I’d just let this thread shrivel and die.

You know, I actually agree with that. Now that I’ve been here as a main battler since the vanilla days, I’ve always loved the aim and fun of spinners and their ability to peak, but frankly, it’s not fun anymore. I literally got gavel and lost my face on the jump button and I’m on the meter forever. It’s not fun and now I have to play The Boomkin, now there are 6 buttons instead of 4 to get adrenaline. I don’t know, pre-patch is fun and not everyone can do it. I don’t want to play in the top tier and it’s better to be a normal player than other DFs. All nerves welcome.

Also, unless you have higher goals than me, you don’t care what I say because you’re in LFR.

Those were truly glorious days when the Warriors needed the emergency assistance healer in their pocket. Remember the heroic attack? Excite me! I also remember that in 2005 The Vanilla I had to take 3 months off my Work to turn 60 years old. I was playing with my girlfriend at the time who was a Holy Paladin (Ellie and Paladin). After playing with him for two years, I discovered that she’s actually a guy IRL. He’s such a great guy that we still play together in 2022. But if the fighters are OP, there’s no need to play as a group. As Arms Warrior, we can make it on our own. We don’t want to be hunters who eat vegetables, we are warriors clad in iron and strength eating the meats.

General rules of a pre expansion release or any time you feel your class is OP.

  1. Never ask for a nerf for your class. If it is nerfed, it tends to be overdone and won’t be adequately/timely undone. If anything your DPS finally feels good, so ask for other classes to be brought up to par because those poorer performing classes are wanting to be buffed to bring them up to your level, not you nerfed to bring you down to their level.
  2. See # 1

Your main is warrior, so you cannot be trusted. Trust the meters when i say warrior is too oberpowered, they have to nerf the class even if the Dragon LANDS launches on November 28 they need to make sure Warrior isnnot too strong against the other clases.

#2 reread main post and see your class is overpowered and let Blizzard not let the power spike begin early like every other game with warrior launch dps.

  1. It’s pre-patch so the actual numbers don’t matter. Everything will shift.
  2. Condemn won’t be in DF.
  3. The condemn play style is ridiculous and uninspiring. It requires little skill to spam condemn with near endless rage, but luckily for us, it won’t be in DF.

literally just press Gavel and slam my face on the Condemn key and permanently stick at the top of the meters. It’s simply just not fun and now I am forced to go play boomkin that now has 6 buttons instead of 4 just to get that sense of adrenaline to actually do well. Idk man, pre-patch is fun and all but warriors cannot stay like this. I simply do not like to play the class at the top any more and would much rather be a mediocre player for the remainder of DF. All nerfs accepted.

Also unless you have more achievement points than me, anything you say to me is irrelevant because you’re bad.

Maybe go read the thread where 1 Druid can take out 15 players in BG’s atm then get back to us how OP the Warrior is.
