Yes let them execute me for 3k with a sd proc
And never will be better than that. Literally by design, as it is not possible for them to balance around 1v1 in a multiplayer format.
tbh I think it may be harder to do the opposite, trying to balance around group pvp still involve small scale skirmishes like 1v1s on occasion and those things those classes bring in 1v1s which are harder to balance and see start having bigger effects or lack thereof in group pvp.
I think tekken 7 and fighting games or action combat MMOs/MMORPGs, (black desert online, vindictus, blade and soul, TERA) are a good example, you can balance around 1v1s and then simply introduce group combat after the fact. Tekken 7 is also a good example of homogenous balance while the characters still have a flavor of their own.
I think a big reason this idea of ‘easier to balance or should balance in group pvp’ permeates so much of mmorpg pvp territory is that it’s sort of taken as an abstraction where objectivity is more difficult to mete out and test, we can’t even get people to agree on what should and shouldn’t happen in 1v1s and what classes are strong or weak based on that, talking about group pvp is a further complication and abstraction and even more hopeless.
Sure, just take away Meathook, Charge, Intercept, Hamstring, disarm, and intimidating shout. And you can have that damage.
spot the bad warriors its pretty easy.
Such a big toolkit
News flash we all die fast in sod. The damage is outta control and they need to bring back 35% damage reduction across the board
warrior pvp burst damage is pathetic in SoD relative to other classes 
this is a fact. warriors are supposed to be able to hurt… a MS crit is supposed to make you feel bad, not tickle.

sitting at 60 with almost full tier pulling a lot less dps than other classes, dunno what youre talking about but it sure as heck isnt coming from the experience of someone playing a warrior.
Is anyone really surprised?
The anti Warrior bias has been extremely obvious since the start of this silly seasonal experiment. From Blizzard using that ridiculous meme claiming that not only Warriors were somehow overpowered, but that they would make everyone overpowered and “not just Warriors”.
Imagine unironically balancing classes and your game around top percentile parses on wowlogs. If the devs had actually ever played a Warrior outside of raids, outside of having full worldbuffs along with consumes, gg gear and enchants, they would actually have an idea of what it’s like to play a Warrior and how challenging it is.
Then again I don’t understand how anyone can put any faith whatsoever in the devs who from the start claimed how they were concerned about how Warriors would scale with new runes, yet gave them a bunch of %damage scaling runes and a complete joke of a heal with victory rush (which they eventually buffed). They have no idea what they are doing and it shows.

Aggregend plays Ret pala and they’re trash at pvp so i dunno about the “anyone surprised” bit…
Warrior isn’t weak right now…
Play as glad chad shield slam spec. You hit as hard or harder than arms does right now, don’t need to stance swap, have a 5 second stun, 2 kicks (one of which blanket silences), a crapload of armor via shield… and more rage than you know what to do with (let me suggest droping a 4500 sudden death execute and 100-0ing a priest through his PW:S)
The only thing warrior sucks at right now is survivability, but that’s literally every spec/class
Also, if you couldn’t outdamage a warlock drain while you had mortal strike and reck up, you where doing something terribly terrible wrong, or had zero rage and probably shouldn’t have wasted reck
he switched to shaman/druid a long time ago lil bro
He def aint playing druid cause feral is the worse pvp spec in game and boomkin is C tier now
no way u didnt mention moonkin as a counter, they legit instant cast 4 things and then afk win
good decision, Throwinhands has always been the low-temper clown act of the forums
dude gets mogged by Rogues as Feral
Here for arms to patch

Yes warrior is quite bad and i lose nearly every 1v1, i guess blizzard wants you to go prot spec for pvp, too but what is the point with stuns and no damage still
Yeah warriors are mediocre to bad in basically every aspect of the game right now and it doesn’t look to get any better

Glad stance warriors have some insane damage output.
which you have to stack defense for, so this is a spec for the tanks that rolled on all def gear. The def adds AP for prot and glad stance spec warriors. So for those of us who rolled on dps gear and are not the MT in the guild, we should lose in pvp every 1v1 match up?
No you don’t. Glad stance just flat out increases your damage output by 30%. You are referring to Shield Slam’s new rider effect that grants bonus stats, but you can also just stack damage stats too.
Your heavy damage is going to come from Shockwave and other AP scaler sources. It slaps.
