Warrior changes!

Warrior

  • The effectiveness of the low-health effect of Second Wind has been reduced by 50% in PVP.

Thanks Blizzard! We weren’t bad enough!

Usually I don’t cry about Warrior being bad but come on, what a joke, warrior nerfs before Dev DH? Hilarious.

How about taking some of the modifiers off of MS so we can stop having slam hit for more then 3x Martial Prowess MS too?

No? Ok, guess we’ll just get nerfed for no reason.

Nerf this PROTECTION WARRIOR PVP TALENT instead of Second Wind Blizzard; THAT is the issue.

Power Through Adversity

Tank Specs – Row 1 PvP Talent

Requires Warrior

Requires level 50

Second Wind reduces damage taken by 10% to 40%, with larger attacks being reduced by more.

While Shield Wall or Last Stand are active, healing reductions do not apply to you.

If they are going to keep our damage profile low, we need to be able to live-lord. The former Second Wind didn’t even let us do that (As Arms at least). It was a mediocre talent at best in organized PvP.

I -never- post on these forums and almost never complain about warriors – mainly because it’s never been -this- bad.

I just can’t. I actually tried fury the other day and hate myself.

Aw yeah, that’ll show em.

No I’ll go back on X & start spamming them with Obsidian Gladiator’s Greatsword instead.

Joining the warrior cause here.

The fact they nerfed the wrong second wind talent is really just a perfect summation of the class balancing changes since s2 ended

1 spec abusing a talent = all 3 specs get punished.

It was happening in TWW as well, does any other class get all 3 specs punished because 1 can abuse a certain talent?

Hpal and ret both lost rep, even though prot was the only one really abusing it, plus they could have just removed the talent that removed its cd

sub rogue is the new warrior with more controll on top of it

This nerf was applied to all three warrior specs, despite only being abusable by protection with this one specific talent “Power Through Adversity”. This class-gutting nerf was applied under the wrong understanding for the root issue. This is a very serious mistake.

11

It was a lot worse in the df pre patch

12

What sword?

13

DK and rogue, on a scale far greater than this may I add. Shaman right up there too in the past.

Notes are wild though. No assassination buffs is cooked.

14

Warrior is candidate for worst melee option right now. By all means Blizzard, nerf it.

15

Theres no way this is true.
First Die By the sword nerf for no reason…
Then second wind?

Are devs playing the game?

16

They just aren’t playing warrior.

17

Not even considering double standards…

“Warrior Die By The Sword??? nerf its CD…”
“DH Blur??? can DH use it 2 times?? well, now they can.”

They really gotta throw us a bone with another big tuning pass. There is still time left before the game launches. They have enough data.

A non-warrior meta is always a poorly balanced meta. Warriors don’t need to be overpowered but balanced. When they are balanced everything else just fits into place a little easier.

warrior feels really bad to play with weird choice nodes and no root breaks unless you are a gnome or use slayer charge but that is only 1-2 breaks 45 seconds apart. You are still endlessly slowed and less mobile then everything that isn’t a priest. Losing Avatar and rally cry root is just silly. Even more silly is rally cry ability still existing now
