So why are the Warrior nerfs going through?

Like… say… 3%?

To be fair, Arms should get something close to 5% due to how many strays they caught.
Fury could get the 3%, and slayer should stack to 12 again.
If they really want to wow me, make cleave baseline for Arms, and a couple other small talent reworks in the Warrior tree.

The Developers are out of touch again. How do you explain being #1 on ST to now being Last? We needed adjustments, but the amount of nerfs we received is unacceptable. What’s also intolerable is the amount of changes all other classes are receiving vs Warriors for the copy-paste raid “20th anniversary”. The unnecessary Dev changes trend is coming back, this happened before…nothing had a positive outcome from any of these changes. They did the same thing for Season 1 DF except that Arms held a great place in PvE. Season 2 DF felt better, Season 3 trash, and Season 4/2 same spot. Here we are Season 1 of WW… Warriors need to be re-designed with proper rotation function to our ST damage. The Aoe part has improved but ST is still lacking…it was fine before the nerf, it just needed minor adjustments, but the statistics across all the data prove that these nerfs impacted us negatively.

Undertuned =/= needing to be reworked.

From a gameplay PoV Warriors are in a fine spot now in terms of button presses dancing across the keyboard feeling, the only change necessary is the class tree being refreshed to have a lot less throughput nodes and for defensive options to not be competing with offensive options in the 3rd rung of the class tree. While also making sure we have a few spare points at full build of the tree (ideally 3-4) that we can then backfill in for utility in the 3rd rung of the tree or earlier.

Could you provide the data to prove that Fury is" in a fine spot"? They nerfed our damage, we have shockwave and storm bolt in terms of utility they could do a better job of course but the base POV remains true with logs.

You misunderstood what Greìl said.

They were talking about how the class plays, not the classes tuning.

As Greìl said Fury doesn’t need a rework, it simply needs tuning, the spec is incredibly fluid and fast paced and most importantly enjoyable to play.

:+1: Glad you’re having fun

Because we overperformed on some raid fights where the boss has already been killed on mythic, even though a lot of that damage is padding on adds.

Also, they have an obsession since mythic plus became a thing to target cap certain classes. People will just then take classes that aren’t bound to such caps. Not a very good team balancing warrior at the moment and pretty much no reason to ever bring one to most content at the moment.

who wants to bet whoever made these changes plays DK and got mad they had their aoe pad sniped on heroic prog?

Conqueror’s Banner should be baseline warrior ability. Idc what anyone says, it was the coolest of all four covenant abilities with aftershock being next only because it was fun to use and did insane damage.

Bring back Conqueror’s Banner so it would be some much needed utility for M+ or make battle shout and rally more effective in 5 man or something

I liked the idea of conquerers banner, but disliked the implementation. I remember in sanctum we had people begging me to play necro so they could parse better by getting the buff, ranged players. Know how annoying that was attempting to position while also doing decent damage myself and mechanics?

If banner didn’t work that way, but provided some form of group (non raid) buff I’d be fine with it, but not raid.

Really seems like blizzard looked at Queen ansurek parses for fury, The perfect fight for its damage profile. And decided to hit the class in every form of content because of it. These nerfs just feel like massive overkill and will likely gut fury warrior AoE, not to mention arms taking a nerf when it is not overly strong in any forms of content.

Banner and prot spec were super fun. As DPS it was a bit clunky to keep going. It all required the glory power though. Without that, its just another buff.

Conquerors Banner is not utility, it’s a DPS cooldown, one that was more beneficial to use with other classes CDs than your own which is just plain unfun.

Id prefer another shout that’s woven into combat instead of just a shout. Something to add utility for us but also be interesting to use and require thought to best use it.

The changes happened for one reason. Incompetent devs. only way to fix it is unsubbing.

Would take Conq Banner any day over spear. The utility for pvp was great and now missed.

Such a wise Panda

This makes no sense. If anything this change homogenizes Spear and Roar? The functionality we picked roar for was AOE with spear being better for single target.

I pressed all my 1.5m cds at the same time with trinket and surpassed a dk for a few seconds, should probably nerf fury some more.
