SOD Warriors aren't fun and it ruined SOD for myself

[Fatthør-dalaran]

warrior have always had the worst leveling experience of all the classes in classic, tbc, and wrath thats why they are the class that scales the most with gear there was always a reason why they were the best dps and that reason was they have the worst leveling experience

[Shapemcshift-living-flame]

the other thing that gimps devastate for warriors is homunculi, does absolute trash dmg when it rips your stacks away

I really am not enjoying playing warrior right now in SOD the runes and abilities we got in phase 2 were extremely boring and lacked anything that really stood out. I watched as many other classes got buffed and received some great abilities. Now after the rouge tank buff I can’t even compete with threat at all I can’t even hold single target threat while they are aoe tanking everything… Our Runes aren’t even working correctly either Devastate rune says it does 100% weapon damage and +10% per stack of sunder armor, I am watching max stack targets get it with the same damage as my white hits… And all I hear is how the “devs are to scared to give warriors adequate runes or buffs because they are too scared of what they could be”… Yet they arent scared of giving hunters insane buffs that they then correct… So I can’t possibly understand why warriors can’t get good runes or buff then nerfed if its too strong… I am not having any fun right now as a warrior it is actually sucking all the fun in this game completely and I really feel like I would have more fun playing retail and I don’t enjoy that at all. SOD was supposed to be fun for everyone and all the classes. I don’t need to be the number 1 dps I don’t care if another class is the number 1 dps. I just think that every class should be given the same amount of effort to make it fun for all the classes… instead of feeling completely left out when all the other classes are getting nothing but love and attention… I will probably stop playing altogether I don’t care to reroll now I dropped over 250 gold on my warrior for mount and the epic crafting (good chunk was leveling my prof) I spent so much time and gold on this toon to just reroll into another one… Again they aren’t scared to mess up with other classes then fix them later… I honestly hate the devs right now working on SOD and I can’t image continuing to play this if this is how the class I chose is going to be. They have sucked all the fun of classic wow for me and most of my friends are playing this but I can’t keep participating or paying for a subscription when all the fun has been sucked out for myself knowing that the game devs are completely biased for the class changes and pretend like they can’t improve one class because they are scared it might be too strong while buffing other classes who are then too strong and get nerfed after

well,

I thought you’d have more to say

[Alexien-lone-wolf]

Yeah, unfortunately I’ve given up on SOD for the time being. They made prot completely unfun from the get go. I stuck around hoping it would get better, but it didn’t. Every other class has been nudged some way towards retail play with AOE snap threat, except warriors. It’s quite infuriating. I don’t care about doing the most DPS in prot, as long as I can hold hate, decrease armor, and mitigate a fair amount of damage. Pretty annoyed at the time I sunk leveling.

[Calliditas-living-flame]

Then u gonna have to wait and see how things work out in P3, cuz it seems that Blizz would not do anything major unless that a specific feature or class is game breakin.

[Kni-crusader-strike]

Most pure dps classes benefit too much from talent points, warrior is one of those. They’ll only be complete at 60.

[Fatthør-dalaran]

They scale more with their gear than any other class talents are very minuscule compared to their gear dependency… at 60 warriors will still struggle for dps if they have terrible gear, its not talents that make warriors so strong its the gear scaling… I also am not even talking about playing dps… I said I don’t care about top dps, because I have to tank, cause no one in my group wants to tank and im the only one with long term experience do it… And tanking has become so trivial for the other classes, Warriors have to spam their highest threat generating abilities and will still lose threat to the aoe abilities other tanks are doing for aoe tanking… I will be spamming all my high threat abilities as I have the rage and a rouge tank can just white hit and pull the threat off… warrior tanks are so bad this phase people only pug them if they are desperate to fill and go just bringing them to taunt 1 boss and tank 1 of the bosses in the mech fight with whelp rabbit squirm and sheep…

[Galakai-wild-growth]

I am a self flagellation enjoyer and understand just how busted warrior will be at 60 especially if they add TG.

[Amoreynn-lava-lash]

Your numbers are out of date - Devastate is 150% of weapon DPS, +10% per stack.

Rune of Devastate

Season of Discovery Class Tuning Incoming - March 5

As players continue to level up to 40 and experience all that Phase 2 has to offer, we’ve closely monitored in-game progress, feedback from the community, and bug reports. With scheduled weekly maintenance next week, we’ll make the following adjustments to some classes that are underperforming. Hunter Chimera Shot damage increased to 120% of weapon damage (was 100%) and Chimera Shot Serpent Sting damage increased to 48% of Serpent Sting damage (was 40%). Explosive Shot base damage done before…

Everyone Cries how op the warrior was in era. But those same crybabies will tell you they dont want to play warrior because its “boring”. They want to be op but without any effort. Warrior class has to compete with so many people for gear getting bis. They pick druids or shamans because its easy and quick to get full bis.

[Galakai-wild-growth]

I play my warrior almost as much as my shaman. Love the class, and think it’s one of the least boring. Sucks for PvP right but it was always mid in this level range of BGs.

[Umagro-living-flame]

Warriors just depend on WS too much, takes time to ramp up in damage without WS. Just give them a windfury effect of their own and everyone will be happy.

Hunters, pally and shaman have inifnite mana, why can’t warriors have their rage generation fixed?

[Krenglus-crusader-strike]

Level 40 is when warriors finally come out of their shell. Yes, they were mid without a healer in era and needed a pocket healer to shine, but the insane burst of the game has prevented pvp healing from being viable. They have no chance.

@Humanpal-maladath

Only reason Shaman tank got high damage taken is because they can solo tank Menagerie…

Technically warlock can 100% solo menagerie as can prot paladin. Idk about feral.

[Rhastagnome-bigglesworth]

Actually this level range is supposed to favor the warrior. This is the time warriors full kit comes online.Problem is warriors are not far from era power level while everyone else is wolk.

[Razumihin-kiljaeden]

Warriors are builders. You need the rage and a bit of set up to unleash all the damage. Their window for attack is small so when they do get on target they need to hit hard. Right now pvp is too bursty. Getting killed in Two or threee global leaves little time to. Build rage not to mention set up a sweeping strikes combo. Healers help a lot with this but the front load damage people are able to do now reduces their effectiveness greatly.

I agree with the statement that warriors are still about the same as they were in classic while everyone else is wotlk.

Dps feels good in pve as long as you have wf or wild strikes. It’s pretty lack luster without it.

[Umagro-living-flame]

This pretty much sums it up. couldn’t have explained our situation better myself. Thank you.

[Gorgoron-benediction]

WhYnOtPlaYsOmEtHiNgElSe Thank GOD we have 60 IQ comments like this to solve all the problems.

[Gorgoron-benediction]

Warriors were good tanks in phase 1 so they decided to destroy devestate rune and leave them with nothing. It’s like they want to bring warriors down.

[Schnitzler-executus]

• don’t believe the whole b-b-b-ut warriors will be so godly at 60 they will be comparable to in game devs argument. Every vanilla pvp video I watched the guy has a pocket healer behind him like it’s a necessity.

Also with the runes that hybrid classes are have now they will likely surpass warriors at 60. just look at spriest damage right now lol.

Any “but 60 tho” argument should be disegarded
