Perhaps Blizzard’s think is that since you guys are pumping out the major damage that it somehow has to get somewhat limited Rage. It kinda makes sense.
I’m sure you guys don’t want a repeat of the beginning of season 1 in where two weeks y’all got giga nerfed.
Why do you not understand?
S2 is full of damage over times, magic damage. Warriors historically have never been good at dealing with that, and have next to no utility and are extremely squishy when you compare them to the other dps. That’s why they sit low on the tierlist. Tierlists are not just about uunga buunga faceroll numba.
Can warriors excel? Obviously. No one is saying they can’t. But why gamble on a class that is low util, squishy, over better ones that exist? It’s just common sense.
So you’re saying it’s a survival thing and not a damage thing?
It’s both. You aren’t doing dps if your dead.
Again, look at the entire context, there’s better dps classes that out shine them, why take a mid/low tier when high tiers exist. Common sense.
Raids full of moments where tanks need to get out of melee range
Blood DKs are horrible in that scenario
Guess who’s still playing a blood DK, coward
People keep talking about rage being nerfed, but there is still just as much rage on the forums.
So it’s a survival thing. That’s what your major gripe is now, right?
It’s not damage because you guys’ damage is insane now.
listen to what?
warrior is in a great spot-- all 3 specs.
In fact prot for s2 is the best it has been since gladiator spec could be used.
Arms and Fury have superior damage profiles coupled with good healing
Incorrect. Warrior is middle of the pack if you mean s1. s2 will be horrible for them. With how many swirlies force them away from packs will kill most melee classes that don’t have the tools in their kit to adjust, and thats warriors.
Pallies it won’t matter at all cause they can play semi at mid range or just bubble and uunga buunga
Dude, stop. Just stop.
Even Critcake himself says you guys are in a great place, dps wise. We can all read the patch notes and you guys got massive, massive buffs.
Ah yes, youtuber/streamer spouts nonsense so you don’t look at anything else. Classic.
Wait, wait…
Dude, we all can read the patch notes.
And Critcake, a well respected Warrior is wrong and you’re right? That’s the hill you’re going to die on?? 
Yeah, a’ight…
Sounds as silly as the healer strike in FF, lol
Time to play my warrior more, check.
Rogue has been last place in representation for nearly 5 years, and has not gotten a single meaningful buff.
As an example, you are more likely to run into five Ret Paladins before a single Rogue of any spec during any form of gameplay. You are more likely to run into three Protection Paladins before running into a single Rogue of any spec during any form of gameplay.
You are more likely to run into eight Shamans before a single Rogue. Six Hunters. Six Priests.
Even if OP was trolling, Blizzard does not care about play metrics of classes/specs at all.
Part of the problem is the Devs complete addiction to spike damage, instead of consistent damage. They focus on the damage that is part of the burst and ignore the rest.
LMFAO /10 char
The issue is that Arms was set to be REALLY good (strong A) … but ONLY for ST.
For AoE, we were still very mid. Which means for the M+ game, you’re still a class that brings nothing useful to M+ (no Lust, no HS, no Brez, nothing), but you’re still just a mid DPS. Why bring this spec???
But ok… it was still set to be strong for raid (assuming a mostly ST raid, which the new raid looks to be).
Except we then just got nerfed.
I can’t really comment on how bad things WILL REALLY BE, when the patch notes said “5% nerf” … but then listed like five or six buffs in a row.
From my chair, I don’t care what Max’s tier list says. I don’t care what Critcake says (as much as I respect Crit, he’s #1 for a reason). I don’t care what anyone else says… I need to play it myself and see how it shakes out.
But I have a feeling we will be solidly mid for both ST and AoE. Which… is where we were in the first place for S1. Where we’ve been … like… forever.
We’ll see.
Anyone know when the realms may be back up?
No argument.
But again, I’m sure y’all don’t want a repeat of season 1 where you guys got giga nerfed because you were pumping out major/too much damage.
From what I can tell, your damage now is excellent. You don’t want to over do it and get on Blizzard’s radar. I keep telling my fellow ret paladins this.
That’s a fair enough assessment. At least you’re not dooming and glooming like some other Warriors.
